Map of Monroe County. — We have received 
from tlie publisher, A. G. Gillf.tt, Esq., a large 
map of this county, which, .at a glance commends 
itself to all who prize accuracy. It is about four 
feet square, exhibiting not only the roads, streams 
and prominent places, but iu addition the names 
and location of all the landholders in the different 
towns, enabling a man to find his way to any 
specified farm in the county. Residents of the 
county wanting copies, and what farmer does not, 
can obtain them of the Publisher, who is now de¬ 
livering to subscribers, and at Darrows, and Dew¬ 
ey’s News-room. 
The Cayuga Chief, a spirited Temperance and 
Literary newspaper, appeared last week with a 
new head and other improvements. It is edited 
by Thurlow W. and Emma Brown, both fine wri¬ 
ters and the latter well and favorably known as a 
Temperance Lecturer. We often find beautiful 
sketches (we copy this week one on Autumn,) in 
their editorial columns. Published weekly at Au¬ 
burn, N, Y., at $1 per year. 
The London Quarterly for October has arti¬ 
cles on Stonehenge, Irish Salmon, Dr. Clialmer’s

of spirited interest and value. A new volume —

Pork at the V/est. 
Our readers are more or less interested in all 
that relates to the Pork Crop at the West, and we 
therefore condense from the western papers the 
latest news on that subject. 
Louisville, Nov. 9.— No contracts making.— 
Buyers are not anxious, and holders quite firm.— 
$5a5,25 net appears to be the ruling price. 
Cincinnati, Nov. 4.—The demand is limited, 
and market rather dull at $5a5,50 nett. 
St. Louis.—Market dull, packers not willing to 
pay present prices. 
From different parts of the west, live hogs have 
been forwarded to New Y'ork, to be slaughtered 
there, thus furnishing a good supply in that mar¬ 
ket and diminishing thc number to be packed at 
tlie west What tlie effect will be, it is difficult 
to say. though it has caused a decline of two cts. 
on sides and a ct. ou shoulders at Louisville. 
The packing season has just commenced, and 
a few weeks will better enable us to judge what 
prices are likely to be made. t 
Evening Star, Coal Stove.— The high price of 
wood induces many to substitute coal for fuel, 
particularly for parlors and balls. A great object 
to be attained in making the change is to get a 
good stove, that burns coal with economy, giving 
out the most heat for the least expenditure. On 
the recommendation of Mr. E. J. Elliott, we pur¬ 
chased the Evening Star, and after trial of nearly 
a month, take pleasure iu biaring testimony to its 
coming fully up to his recommendation, more than 
answering our expectation, and proving a supe¬ 
rior parlor stove. With the Evening Star to burn 
it, we should much prefer coal to wood, even if 
coal was the most expensive. t 
Choice Sheep. —A flock of some twenty select 
French .Merinos passed through this city one day 
last week, en route for the farm of Gen. R. Har¬ 
mon, of Wheatland. They have been selected 
with his usual good judgment from, we believe, 
the flock of S. W. Jewett, of Middlebury, Vt > 
and will render Mr. Harmon’s flock one of the 
best in Western New YYrk. Our western friends 
who have been supplied with some of the best of 
the General’s flock heretofore, will now be ena¬ 
bled to avail themseles of the latest importations. 
t 
The Weather. — Wednesday and Thursday 
were more or less rainy. Friday it began to snow 
in the afternoon, and continued to snow Saturday, 
Sunday, and Monday morning, when the snow 
had accumulated to the depth of six or eight inch¬ 
es, though it was not very cold. Sleighs were 
seen in the streets. This, Tuesday morning, cool 
and winter-like.—w. 
The Fire Annihilator. — We attended Dr 
Boynton’s Locture on this subject, and were much 
pleased with the successful experiments and lucid 
demonstrations of the Lecturer. We believe it 
was generally conceded by those who heard him, 
that this invention possesses a marvelous power 
over Are, and must prove useful in many cases. 
Got the Mitten. —Once, a long time ago, this 
would have been unpleasant, but the comfortable 
pair of gloves placed on our table by C. 1 )kkf- 
ster, of Gloversville, give us, these cool morn¬ 
ings, very different emotions, not forgetting due 
appreciation of the favor. t 
Secretary of State. — The President has ap¬ 
pointed the Hon. Edward Everett, of Massachu¬ 
setts, Secretary of State, to succeed the Hon. 
Daniel Webster, lately deceased, and Mr. Everett 
has signified his acceptance of the office. Mr. Ev¬ 
erett was born in Boston, educated at Harvard 
University, studied for a Unitarian clergyman, 
but accepted instead the Professorship of Greek 
in Harvard, and in 1819 became editor of tlie 
North American Review, which ho conducted for 
six years with marked ability. Mr. Everett has 
successively been a Representative in Congress, 
Governor of Massachusetts, and Minister to Eng¬ 
land. On his return from England he was called 
to the Presidency of Harvard University, which 
? ost he resigned after filling it two or three years. 
7c believe bo lias not since held any public sta¬ 
tion until now. He was fifty-eight years of age 
last April. 
A Fair Pile. — The entire amount of the re¬ 
ceipts of the Duke of Wellington for his services 
wag nearly three millions of pounds sterling 
($14,000,000.) The emoluments of the Duke’s 
sons, nephews, son-in-law and other relatives 
from the army, the church and the pension list, 
are enormous.
