Matter Mechanic W QiU. MY POST UL H iUIU i hi Agent W, H French. j The Hog Crop ia the West,' i j Messrs. Henry Mil ward & Co., of Chicago, have issued a circular dated October 10th, containing r valuable information' regarding the hogs in the West, consisting of replies to inquiries from twenty-five jof ; the principal points Jn Illinois,! thirty-five Kin ; Iudianaf eighteen in Iowa, and four in Missouri. . At a few of, these' places hogs are reported"- fur ther advanced than last year, but at most of them not so far. " With few exceptions, it is intended to bring them to markpt' early. Many b the places report a large increase in the number of hogs, and about as many report less than la3t year, the average being, we snould judge, a small increase. ' Very few contracts have been made, and prices do not seem to have been settled upon any where, j Most of the places have no old stock oii hand ; a few of them have a very little. We append Messrs. Slihvard & Cd's. remarks : ; . - . v ; : - . , - yu We take pleasure in presenting you with our usual annual summary of replies recei ved ttom , our variou?- correspondents in the several pork packing markets as to prospects for the coming season, t The . general belief seems ti be that the crop ot hogs : will be larger than last year's, but there seems to be some apprehension that the corn crop may notcbe sufficient to properly fatten the stock. The high price which ha3 been current for corn, will doubtless prevent farmers from feeding jit so lavishly as in former years ; but as the crop has all Seed secured in most ad mirable condition, it is probable they will find it to their interest to keep up their glowing stock, and that we shall, therefore;, have a liberal supply of hogs, not only dur ing the next packing season, but also through the nexi spring and summer. The provision jyjar, now about to close, has been, in most respects, unparallelled by any of its prede cessors in point of general contentment..'. f The farrae.s were amply satisfied with the prices 6btainqd for their live stock; the packers j who held on to .their produce were Avell compensated for their trust Und outlay, while the general dealers, though forced to content, themselves with ordinary profits, have had good cause for congratulation on the result. Packers and farmers have beeu alike contented, and we may express the hope that the same liberal feeling of reci procity nay characterize tneir mutual rela tions theoming season. Sq'far as venturing an opinion a3 to the prices' likely to rule, we feel" our! entire inability ; but we fancy that when! the true state of affairs is made appa rent, and when packers find, as is the case, . that thef Western States are swarming with stock hogs, wbich can be made available at any moment, we may rationally lqok ifor ja very serious decline as soon as the5 general dealers supply their most pressing necessities. We therefore anticipate a season of moderate prices, ane wer trust that by another year we may afcain be a,ble to congratulate lour pro vision friends- on the satisfactory, while legitimate, result of tjieir operations." Blind Tom at the Athenaeum. Last Evening the Athenaeum -was filled with a yejy fashionable audience indeed, at tracted to see and. hear the wonderful niusi-?. ifal Dlienoaiehori known as Blind To"nff who is at once the most extraordinary musical genius of the age, acid one; of the most sin gular specimens of the freaks of Dame Na ture in this country. Blind Tom is one of those beings whom it is an object of deep interest, to study. Apart f jom his astonish ing powers ot memory, and the remarkable development of his musical faculties, his mental peculiarities in other respects m?rit attention at jthe hands of close observers, of the various phases of humanity.' With near ly allot the characteristics of idiony, Tom is not an idiot; by any means, though undoubt edly as inuch deficient in some of the percep tive facilities as he is gifted in memory. But it is a problem yet to be solved whether this singular! being cannot be so educated as to deVelbpe latent mental faculties which are now entirely overshadowed by his extraor dinary devejopement of those organs of the brain which belong to memory alone. The performance1 last evening illustrated his musical; talent, and his wonderful memory to a very surprising extent. lie uappened it. to be in just the humor to excell in a major ity of j the pieces selected. His playing of Thai berg's Home Farftasie, and his own com position idiotcy cannot compose and Wal lace s ConcertLrolka, were strikingly illus trative jof his possession of a cultivated as well as inatural taste. His imitative power, as shown by his remembrance of the Scotch Fiddler's playing of the airs of a musical boy," and of the Scotch bagpipes were also very strongly exhibited. But the most sur prising effort of memory that we have seen him exhibit was his playing a march which he had heard played in Charleston, S. C, in I860,! and had not played since. We were personally cognizant of j another practical exoerimeht of this kind.! which was tried aner cue concert An original composition was played tor him, which we know posi tively he never before heard, and after hear ing it. but Once he sat down and played it with snrpjising accuracy, taking up four changes of the piece, including the minor as well aslany ordinary player at sight would have performed it from the ; notes. We shoi.ld j like to hear him attempt the same piece to-night from memory. A more inter esting series of performances " than those of this miisically gifted boy, we know not of, and wej specially commend these concerts to the attention of our citizens. The Doublin correspondent of the London Times tells a story, and vouches for the truth of it, which is briefly as follows; A woman having! died in a workhouse, word was sent to Bridget Murptiy, htr supposed daughter, informing her of the fact. She came, and the body was removed, and a M wake" ith all usual accompaniments was held. . Then the family discovered that it was not their relative alter alU yA hearse was called; and the body was sent back " to the work -house, with this bill to the ' guardians of the poor, which wasypaid; Bread and butter, 4s. 6d. ; office (for the' rlarir 10 four extra angels 8d brininr dead), jus. , iour extra angeis, oa. , uriuiuQ the 'diseased' home, 4s. 8d. ; candies, Is. bd. ; snuHers and Sheett, is. ifa. ; wnissey, s. 8d. ; porter, 2s. ; pipes, tobacco and snuff, Is. nt i : . t t.T ota. ; paid lor wasnmg sueeis aner cu.p , lastVeek It looked like a large globe of fire pas taken awayt Is. ; cleaning the place, Is. ; and hiL8ed like a rocket in - its descent.

Louis has been for some time "kept from nabllc labors.' bv partial blind- nes.-; He bas had two operations on his eyes, and though not yet fully restored, has returned to his wo ik. The Cost of the Freed men's Bureau. General Howard, CTnief of theFreedmenV Bureau,! recently published tiis annua! report of which the following is a summary : 4 1 The abandoned land in the' rtossession of tie bureau is 215,024 acres, and the pieces ott0wnjprppertviis,959,iJ A .large part of the abandoned land is of a swampy charac ter, and( scarcely any of it yield revenue. There ii a hope held out that the owners may get . it. r The f commissioner says : The number! ot negro claims presented is 5,5535, of which 755 have been finally adjusted.- Thej amount paid to claimants is $64,494.29. Tbej amount of certificates received and or dered paid is $890,718. .Transportation. Is! furnished to 778 refugees' and 16,931. freed men. The number of refugees treated dur ing the yeaVehding'Angust '31,1867, Were 8,853, of whom 191 died. " The number of freed men treated was 135,296, of whom 4640 died. The number of rations issued duribcr the year ending lsfcot September was 11- ooo per aay. The appropriations to the Bureau for the year ending July 1, 1867,'amounted to $3, 8361300, and expenditures for eleven months, ending with the 31st of August, amounted to $3,597,397.65. For schools and school buildings, $553,916 ; subsistence stores, in cluding special relief Under the act of last March, ; $1,460,326; transportation, $227, 755 ; salaries of agents, clerks, &c, $521, 420; medical department, $331,000; quar ters, fuel, &c, $135,000 ; clothing $116,688. Thef surplus for this year will be sufficient for the present, fiscal year, ending next July. In addition to this, the disbursing officer has paidto colored soliiers or their heirs retained State bounties $51,721, and under the jjoint resolution of March 29, 1867, has paid claims r- to : colored soldiers to the amount of $350,870. Ijhe. total amount of supplies furnished by Cori gress was 850,400 pounds of .bacon and c, and .6,809,300" pounds of corn. The por number of persons receiving relief is reported at 233,372. The average number was about 58,000, the highest number being in July 82,000. Half the number were whites. The whole amount expended was $445,993 $8 to each person for four months or $2 per month. This special relief was discontinued in August. The eagerness ot freedmen for education does not flag. All the- normal and traing schools were well attended. The total number of day and night and indus trial schools reported: is 2,207, with 2,442 teachers, of whom 699 are colored. The number of scholars is 130,735, being an in crease of 40,000 since the last annual report ot the schools. The average amount--of tuition paid per month b freedmen was $14555. :; . Moderate Drinking. The Rev. Mr. Eddy, in a late speech in Boston, speaks thus of the custom of moderate drinking. In assailing intemperance, we oppose three of the most active elements of humanity Avarice, Appetite, and Custom. That is so, but- custom is mightier far than all adverse forces. The one million drunkards in the United States were all made so by custom, and moderate drinking will continue to breed drunkards, as fast "as carrion breeds maggots, and as long as the custom lasts. Those who seduce the young to drink, must be moderate drinkers themselves. The more repulsive sots have no such power. The vast multitudes of youth in our country who have have , not yet defiled themselves with the drunkard's beverage, would every one of them grow up teetotallers if it were not for the pestilent influence ot moderate drinkers. Excessive drinkers are loathsome and dis gusting to a child or youth untainted by drink, and such lpersons could ,not seduce them if they would. Moderate drinkeis alone are able to initiate new victims. Their very moderation and respectability give them the knack of , entrapping the young. Let that fact be well pondered. It should sink deep into all hearts. The whole world should understand that every one of the rising generation, now pure and sober as God made them, would con tinue so to the end ot their virtuous and I haDDv ives, were it not for contamination of " moderate drinkers. Now and Then. Amobo: the Americans who attended the the pu lie breakfast to Mr. Garrison, in Bir mingham, was Gen. Richardson, late of, the Confederate army, who said u Ten years ago he would have deemed it impossible that he should ever appear oo the sane platform with Mr. Lloyd Garrison, Mr. George Thompson, and Mr. Levi Coffin; but his opinions on the question of slavery had qiite changedfr whet her by ratiocina tion oi by the logic of events, he would not stay to inquire. The Southern people were detern: ined to accept the new order ot things, and to show what brave and true men could do when their every-day life was broken atfd thev had to start afresh under altered cir altered cumstances. They wished to do all in tneir power to educate and. elevate the blacks. He felt bound to add his testimony to what had been stated as to the docility of the blacks There was not a more docile race of men on the earth. They were confiding, warm-hearted, faithful, sympathetic, pos sessed of great physical eriergy and power,' and only required to be educated to make excellent citizens. . He did not think so ten years ago, but he did now. Gre it indignation was aroused in Kanka kee. 1 1., by a young man who reported him self the heir of a great English estate and borrowed large quantities of money on the strength of his riches. He was arrested and into prison. Now nis money nas come and his enemies are put to shame.
