" The Springfield Republican VS. that r ep-

extra session of the legislature as he had not heard
Of IL! 1t seems he didn't take paper So Gen
Cass lost vote, and the intelligent representative
his pay and mileage, amounting TO some SAB.
We have known numerous instances of this sort
A somewhat extensive flour dealer in western
county, was so supremely parsimonious that he per,
lnacousiy refused, though frequently solicited, to
take daily paper. The res ut was that he was be-
hind his neigh5ors in the receipt of the amount Of
the sudden rise in the price of breadsiutis in IS46-
An intelligent patron of the press took advantage
OF this Fact, purchased thousand barrels of flour
from HIM before breakfast, upon which he realized
profit Of 5 500 in four dayS
Determined not TO be caught in this manner again.
the parslmonious dealer was in the habit of visiting
certain BARRIERS shop in the neghborhood of his
residence to steal the news. This kept him proper

Upon certain occasion, hoyyexas, -nevs was re-
