W? trust U vrjll provo iutorosting, and may bo practically instructivo to our friends below, to give them somu of tho prices ourrout, in this region Of pure air aud Tuetouio honesty. Boef bought by the, quarter, may bp had at ?f?oni three to ?vo o?nts a pound, and tho beef is of ? oxoellont quality generally ; while at re .la if flip price varies.from G to 8 cents. Mut ton is sometimes cheaper than beef. Bacon and lard raiig?.from. 12} to.20 cents a pound, dorjendiog upon thc supply of other meats. Venison of tho finest quality sells at from 5 to 10 couts a pound. That is to say, beef, mutton and venison all sell at about the same . price. Chichona oan be readily bought nt from 12^ to 15 cents, while egjis never go above 10 couts a dozen, and three dozen for a ijuartcr, were bought n few days ago. Butter costs from 15 to 20 cents a pound. Irish po tntoes.c?st, varying with the time ol' thc year, from 50 to 75 cents a bushel ; and sweet po - ta toes never go abovo 50 cents. Flour sells at. 810 a barrel. Corn just now-thc old crop-costs 81.25 a bushel; but not a single mau with whom wo have conversed, expects that tho now crop soon to come in, will com " 'Uland more than 50 couts a bushel, if even si umoh. Oats wero recently sold at 33 cents ! bushel. Bye brings 81.50 ; but tho new ero] must bring it down , to $1. North Carolin apples sell readily at 50 couts a bushel, um country apples arc rather lower. House ron! .too, is at correspondingly low figures-th best houses in Walhalla rent at about 810 month ; and smaller houses rent at 85, an there arc many that can be rented for less tba that. Thc Bluo Bulgo Railroad, you are a Wari . comos nominally to Walhalla; but in fact stops two miles short of tho town, so as t give one a pleasant drive in tho omnibus bi fore coming too suddenly upon tho town. A long as this arrangement continues, preset pi iocs will probably remain ; and, when tl railroad shoots on past through tho tun nc and away into North Carolina and Tennessei of course prices will rather fall than rise. From tho Walhalla depot to tho tunnel about ten miles above herc-tho road is nea ly, if not ontircly graded; and the tunnel about two-thirds done. Thero is no workiti . now on this end of the road, but rumor sa; the Tennessee end is b>- jg brought ?Soutl ward as fast as possible. Tho Greenville Company is running tl Blue Ridge rond to this place now. lt cha gos enormous freights; but if a practical wi dom,were infused into its counsels, to indui it to put down these exorbitant rates to aboi half, tho amount of freight would-so som . bio resident think-bc increased ibout Ov fold. But penny wisdom is likely to have i n?sual result-pound folly. D, GovEnN'on OF rlii?
