lately went to a dealer in wool to purchase
ing SACK 70 put II IN. When tne sack was
filled, the steelyards were not at hand to
weigh it. The dealer Immediately went in
pursuit of them. While he was gone, his
customer looked with an evil eye upon lot
of fine cheese in the same room with the
wool, and hastily put one of the finest,
weighing nearly twenty pounds, in his sack,
mixing 1t up with the wool, as the expression
was, supposing he had obtained a valuable
prize. On his return, the dealer quickly
perceived by the weight of the sack, that
his honest friend had put cheese there.
He said nothing, but quickly weighed it.
His customer said nothing and as quickly
paid him fifty cents pound for his cheese
under the denomination wool.-Prov. Ga.

FIFTIETH Anniversary. Last Sabbath
Rev. DR.. Ripley delivered an Address.
commemorative of the completion of fifty
years since his ordination over the congre-
cation in this town. His remarks were
highly interesting, as giving rapid histo-
rlcal sketch of the town, and we hope, the
hearers viii secure copy for the press.
He mentioned one fact which seems curious
to us, who know the firm state of his health
for several years past. We mean the cir
cumstances that when the people originally
voted to give him a call, only a sinrle indi-
vidual voted in the negative, and this mans
reason for opposition was the obvious fee
bleness of the candidates constitution and
health. Yet now at the close of fifty wears
his step is as firm, his voice as strong, his
articulation as distinct, and his performances
in every respect. IS glowing, as they were
when he was first called to oficiate in this
town. Concord Gazette.
