The price of hogs on the Buffalo market went up again today and closed steady ai from $5.55 to 15.60. A few sold as high as $5.60. About a week ago they were worth in the neighborhood of >4.50 and owing to the unsteadiness of the market local buyers could not pay over $3.501 and many were bought as low as $3.25. The’buyers are buying this year on a larger margin than usual due, it is said, to the heavy shrinkage that hogs fattened on this year’s soft corn are apt to do. The advance in the hog market is a splendid testimony that the recent financial excitement is over. Wheat was off a trifle today but other prices remained the same and an advance in all of them is looked for soon.

A few nights since Miss Pauline Kaw, aged 35 years, came home at one o’clock in the morning; whereupon her papa, aged 61, proceeded to spank her with his slip per. Pauline was indignant, and had him arrested, but the magistrate discharged him, observirf? to Pauline: “Your father has a perfect right to chastise you, even if you are 35 years old. You are old enough to know von shouldn’t stay out late." There is yet hope for Pittsburg. Readers these days should not overlook the advertising columns.
