A Few Days Since, The Sticks Of A

load of wood whicli was sola m our sireeis v a fabulous price, were counted on a bet, and it was fonnd that the purchaser paid eight cents a A-and not extra seized stick's, either. Another wood inciilent is current. A farmer, living some miles out of the city, brought lus iirst load to market. HavinL heird his neighbors boost that they could get any price tliey saw fit to ask, he thought he would try his hand. So, as he approached the city, he concluded that his load was too 3arge, and half of it was deposited by the roadaide. 'Coming 'ie with the half load - say n the neighborhood of a iiaif oord - he sold U readily at 87 ; tben reut back and lironght in the other half, and sold it for $8; thus getting $16 for his loai.

L2L Moto delightful November weather was never prodiKsed in this climate than we hav been favored with during the last ten dfty or so. The elemenls have been ) their best befeavior, and harmony has prevailed in all their doings. Sharp, frosty raornings have beep. followed by beáiitiíul, balmy, sunsfeiuy days, and it is hard to think that November has reached ifcs midilje. W e remember just such Michigan Novembers in tbe long ago - that is, when we were a boy - and we are glad of their return, even though we can't enjoy them as we were wout to, in hunting, nutting, etc. -If our farmer friends don't get tlieir corn liusked.and tbfirFtli work finished up this fine weather, who will be to blame for their cold fingers. Not the oft abused, and oft deerving of abuseC!), November. t3 A week or two sinoe we noticed that the dweiling of Thomas F. Hill, of this city, had been preved apon by burglars, and anndiy wathes, pocket -books, etc., etc., appropriated. We are sorry to say that the act has been estabiished that the house was entered fnm the ituide, that is, that the depredations were committed by an inmate, one J. E. StOüebeeckeb, a medical student. We say sorry, for we dislike very much to have odium httach to a class of straugers flnding temporary homes in our midst by the dishon8t deeds of one of theïf number. Stonebkeckb made "restitution,"and was permitted to lake indefinito Ieave of absence both from his studies and our city. ty The Cleveland Plaindeahr saye that th appointment of two Thanksgiving days - National and State - to occur with the iDtervetition of but about a fortnight, has caused the price of turkeys and butter to "rit." We hope that the turkeya, chickeiig, etc, in this vicinity will understand tbat Gov. Cbapo has endorsd the President's thasksgiving day- if not his reconstruction policy - and not put on airs like their fowl relations of Ohio. Il i Hl - We regret to learn that Miss M-aey H. Clark met with quite a serious accident on Saturday afternoon last. by falling flown some stairs at her new school building, dislocating her ankle, and breakingone of the email bones between the ankle and heel. She in likely to be laid up for sorne time, which, coneidering the extra demand justnow upon her energie?, will be more than an ordinary inconvenience and loss, L3C" Tho Supper given by the ladies of the M. E. Church on Wednesday evening, ■was a decided success. The evening was pleasant, the attendanee large, the tables bountifuily supplied, and the ladies very courteous and attentive to theii patrons. Liberal quantities of oysters, ice-cream, coffee, chicken salad, cake and etctteriu, were disposed of; in fact tbe restaurant department was pretty effectually exhausted. The net proceeds were about $250.
