Remarks. —The market is quite active, and prices without 
much change. The season has been a prosperous one upon the 
whole, and prices good for northern and western products. We 
regret to say, that those at the south are not paying so well, and 
there seems to be little prospect of a rise. We shall hope for 
more prosperous times next year ; but in looking abroad at the 
troubles in Europe, what cause have not the people of America 
to congratulate themselves upon their envious condition ? Let 
us be thankful to a kind Providence that things are so well with 
us, and endeavor by our good conduct and contentment, to merit 
a continuation of his blessings. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from M. W. Philips, W. Bacon, A. L. Elwyn, Solon Robinson, A 
Farmer Subscriber, C. D., Samuel Allen, T. C. Peters, Isaac 
Hicks, An Amateur, Wm, R. Prince, A Beatty, H. Fuller, James 
Boyle, Sergeant Teltrue, and Reviewer. 
Curing Hams.— F., of Fairfax, Va.—If your neighbor’s hams 
were packed down in charcoal dust in a cellar, or other damp 
place, their decay must have been caused by the absorption of 
moisture by the charcoal. Had his hams been packed away in 
dry charcoal dust, in a cool dry room above ground, he would 
have had no cause for complaint about “ book farming.” 
A Plain Truth Plainly Spoken.—A Farmer Subscriber .— 
We agree with you. Ten to one the writer of the article alluded 
to in our November number, is himself one of those accustomed 
to the luxury of “ easy chairs, and the vanity of gloves,” whose 
endeavor it is not “ to get their living out of the soil,” but out of 
their fellow men. Persons wishing work can find employment 
by applying at the office of the Emigrant Society, Spruce st. 
{ N. Y., without brokerage or charge.
