John Doe sued Richard Roe before Esq. Coe, or
some other Justice, under these circumstances.
John got up "giit OF gratitude" the staple of
which was cut rife, aud the incident six lectures
on Know Nothingism the rifle to become the pro-
perty OF such lucky attendant OH any one ofthese
lectures, whose ticket of admission correspondent
with the fortunate ticket drawn from the hat.
Ticket $40 proved to be the fortunate ene and the
holder was invited to come forward and claim the
prize. Richard appeared with ticket 500, and go
ing where the property was deposited left the tick
ct and took it. Soon however, appeared another
ticket 500, with another claimant. This was GO
TO be sure. John denounced the ticket of Richard

of the property. He failed however TO make the
forgery appear the satisfaction Of the jury, and
Richard retains possession Of the pre- perty.

Great Prices for sheen.

A week or two since we called the at
tention of our readers to flock of French
Merino Sheep brought here for exhibition
and sale, by j. S. Patterson. celebrated
wool-grower, of Westfeld, Chatauque Co.,
N. T., which were undoubtedly superior to
any of their kind ever before brought to
this part of the country, some of which flock,
we are glad to learn, have been purchased
by some enterprising farmers in this region.
Mr.. Harmon Marsh, ON whose invitation
mainly, Mr.. Patterson came west with this
stock, bought several of the ewes, at the
handsome price of 5000 each; John r.
Nichols, of Lake Co., Illinois, bought the
Buck Lamb now about a year old, bred by
Mr. ?. from imported stock, for the sum Of
one thousand dollars, and three ewes at
$500 each. We learn also that Mr. Per-
kins of Somers, bought twoewes at the same
price, Mr.. Fox of the same town one, and
we saw DIR. S. R. Mcclellan, of Wheat
land going homeward, with some sheep in
his wagon, which looked to us very much
like ewes from the same flock, and which
must nearly If not quite, have exhausted the
stock Mr.. Patterson had with him.
These prices will no doubt strike the un-
initiated reader as high, but the men who
have purchased are practical men, and it is
therefore safe to estimate the real value of
the stock at the prices paid. tits no doubt
a fact that in purchasing breeding stock Of
any kind, the best is always the most profit
able, therefore we hope. while they confer
common benefit upon the whole wool
growing community by introducing such
stock into the country, these enterprising
farmers will reap to themselves the reward
due such enterprises.
In this connection, we are assured by
Mr.. Patterson that in all his experience, he
has found no community of farmers so en-
terprising and liberal and earnestly engaged
in promoting substantial improvements, AS
those Of this section of the country; and en-
couraged by this fact he intends as
fast as sheep of so rare quality and con-
equently so scarce, can be obtained, to DO
what he can towards supplying the demand
which exists. He has access to the finest
focks of the world, and we feel il to be a
matter of congratulation that this enterprise
exists among us, and that through Mr.. Pat
terson, opportunity is offered to turn it to
profitable account.

SIBERIoUs NAvIGArIoN-Ward's Boats
have commenced running between Chicago
and the Northern ports, and appear semi
occasionally as the vieissitudes ofthe wealth
er viii permit. We never before at this
season of the year saw such chilly looking
navigation. The Lake while We write is
white with ice on the far verge of the no.
rizon. Passengers who land here are in
troduced to ice bergs some ten feet in
helghth on the end of the piers, and the
shore presents but vast barrier of ice
The mails we understand, are now carried
on the boats, and as consequence, they
are growing irregular in their appearance.
We hope for warmer times, though some
doubts are felt whether this weather is the
closing up of last winter or the beginning
Of next.

New HAMPSHIRE Election.

Of the many severe blows recently dealt
at Pierce and his administration, that dealt
by New Hampshire at the late election is
the most appalling. overwhelming, and des-
tructive. The President may now draw his
mantle about him with what dignity he can
and with Get tn Brute" on his lips, give
it up. We can see no hope of recovery, no
way to retreat it is clear case, gone
case in fact. tits generally called .Know
Nothing triumph" How many Know
Nethings may be involved in it or mixed
up in it, We know not, but we do know, and
that is the principal matter involved in it,
that it is a complete, equivocal, and over
whelming route of Pierce, his administra
ton, and friends. Doubtless they will have
a thousand explanations and excuses for the
defeat of which the Know Nothings will be
the principal staple, but it will have but a
small influence in dimenishing the effect of
the blow, which all will understand as spe-
cially aimed at the administration, and in
cited by deadly hostility to it and its
measures.
The latest figures foot up as follows:

Returns from 214 towns show, 1905

fs. In the Senate the Opposition have 10,
Democrats 1, and /, no choice. In the
House, Opposition 22i, Dem. 70.
All the members of Congress belong to
the opposition. Both Senators to be chosen
by the Legislature just elected will no doubt
be of the opposition, and one of them will
probably be John P. Hale. So that the
next Congress will witness from the Presi-
dents own State-the granite democratic
State of New Hampshire-an unbroken
anti-administration delegation.

Notwithstanding the almost impossible condition Of

the Iiveiiest interest have been awakened ano the
best Of progress made by all who have participated
in his Instructions There is we believe but one
opinion in this community in regard TO Mr. Trum
bulls ability instructor in writing, and that
decided favorable; those who have availed them
selves of his tuition seem highly pleased with the
improvement made. Judging from the specimens
which we have seen, and the mode of teaching this

though youthful in point Of years, is in advance of

That Little Boy.
We were passing along on Market street the
other day, when before us two little boys
one apparently about four or FIVE yeprs of age, the
other, perhaps nine. As approached them we
heard the older one say
you'll tell your mother "a boy did it, aud you
couldn't help it, won't your
We then noticed for the first time that the little
boys apron was sadly torn and with his tiny fin
gers he trying to hold together pieces OF the
mutilated garment. We had but a moment 10 no.
tice this. and await his reply, when, drawing him
self roudy up, and locking his companion in the
face, he said,
mo. ! won't tell her story, cause that would
be wicked; I'll tell her tore it and couldn't help
i,!'
We had passed them, by this time, but invoun-
tary turned TO look upon that little hero, and
shuddered while we thought of the pernicious in
fuence to which the budding germ Of truth and in
nocence in that young breast, had been exposed.
We did not ask the little fellows name, nor follow
him home, but there seemed to US world of hope
and promise, Swallowed forth in that bright, honest
lace; and we knew tHdt nome, Wherever II might
be, was which would send forth great and noble
hearts, ornament aud blessing 10 society, and to
our country. Let that mother, who has thus
ly instlled high principle OF truth. and honor,
in that young heart, take courage, Tor her labor has
not been in vain and she shall one day, yea, does
even now, reap rich reward for her labor of love
| And should any children read this sketch, let
them follow that noble boys example, and never
nerer, ''telI story, cause it would be wicked; :
besides, no one can ever love, or honor the child
who bears the reputation of ''liaf,''
