CHEAP BUTTER, &c.—Such has been the immense quan-
tity of butter brought into the Retford market during the
last two or three weeks, that it has become quite a " drug."
Last Saturday the very best dairies only made 7d. per lb.,
whilst inferior ones with difficulty ;realised 4d. to 6d. New
milk is likewise mote plentiful at Retford at the present time
than we have known it for the last twenty years—so much
so, indeed, that it is with the greatest difficulty one-half of
itcan be disposed of ; and a talk is quite current that the in-
habitants are to have this article at tariff prices during the
present week. As a proof also that calves are plentiful, and
not in very great request in that neighbourhood, we may
state that a few days ago Mr. Howe, of the Crown Inn, bar-
tered away a calf for a hen and chickens, pluming himself at
the same time that he had made the best in the bargain. The
hen and chickens on the same day were purchased by the
farming bailiff of a neighbouring gentleman for is. tid., and
are now making up for the future garnishings of their mas-
ter's table.—Doncaster Gazette.

MYSTERIOUS CASE.—At an early hour th , _ d
watchmen in the vicinity of St. Enoch-square were innfuotThent
by two girls of the town, who had been 'boverirab
into Adam's-
quarter, that they had observed two persons pass
"Ce them a dark-
court-lane through the square, bearing be w d
believed to be the bo y of a man,
looking object, which they II•• stands in the
and deposit it in an empty cart, which usua y .
• to the place referred to, the police
lane. On proceeding
found the dead body of a stout-looking man, wanting his hat,
but without any external marks of violence on his person,
lying with the face uppermost, in the fore part of the cart.
Having conveyed the body to the office, a strict search i1•.,11
made for the two men who bad been seen by the women, but
without avail, they having made off at their utmost speed
when they bad got quit of their burden. A farther investi-
-1 gallon near to the premises in Adam's-court-lane being made
by the police, a bonnet was discovered lying at the foot of a
stair leading to a number of cellars t
hosehere, which
is turne
Gd out
to be the property of the deceased, w name M'euni-
gal, a hammerman, who resides somewhere in Anderston.
Suspicion being excited by this circumstance as to the na-
ture of the premises occupied as cellars, inquiry was made at
the
neighbours, when all of them, with
one exception, got
owners.. The cellar without an owner being broken open, a
small still, arid the other materials for whiskey manufacture
were discovered, and in such a state as indicated that the;
had been in recent use. This is the only clue that has beets:
obtained in the mean time to account for the dead •bo Iln
the cart. It is supposed by those conversant •t 1 '
wi i the car
that M 'Gennigal had been in the cellar on Saturday ' e
last, and had been indulging too freely in the evening
still, when the liquor overpowered him, and thatproduce of (lie
connected with the illegal traffic bad taken the the parties
of ridding themselves of the body. Hoy e shave method

Six,—Will you permit us, 9:rough the medium of your
iiii,ie
valuable paper, to correct a ry mistaken popular notion,
that tickets for the cheapfain can be purchased, for the
Saturday's trip, on the m ning of that day. This idea is
so very absurd, that it scarcely calls for a direct negative, the
early hour at which the train leaves is, we thick, sufficient to
prove the folly of this report.
Perhaps you will allow us to add, that our office will re-
main open for the sale of tickets until nine o'clock to-morro*

The net revenue of the German customs' union, which in
the year 1884 amounted to only 12,020,340 thalers, increased
in the year 7842 to 21,059,441 thalers.
On Wednesday, according to the Constitutionnel, a large
number of manufacturers and industriels ,of Paris met in or-
der to confer upon the means of turning to account the Chi-
nese market. The result was the formation of a Soci6t6
Chino- Parisiene.
Under the intelligence from Liverpool posted up at Lloyd's
it is announced that the Sandwich Islands were ceded to the
British Crown on the 2ith of February, and taken possession
of next day by Lord George Paulet, of her Majesty's ship
