Too Much Of A Lottery

This incident, as related by the Ypsilaiiti Sentinel, could be applied with equal force to many people in this city. "One of those who went to Detroit last week on the excursión tells an incident that illustrates how unprofi table it is to go to other cities besides ourown to do trading : It was the intentiou of the young lady to get cloth for a dress for her mother. The act itself was very commendable. She stepped into one of the large down town stores, of which that city boasts, and asked to be shown the goods. The clerk in his very winning way showed many patterns. Oue was selected by the lady and she started for the train exultant over her "bargain." Ilowever, when she reached home she found that the piece of goods was considerable short of the amount she paid for, thus making the goods useless for the purpose for which it was bought. Xow the young lady is not only scolding herself for buying where such errors cannot be rectified, but declares that the merchant who seemed so nice is a dishonest man."
