on for higher prices On Thursday last the

one of the principal flour establishments ir
f this city. He got dollar bushel Cor it,
The wheat was delivered, but during the pro
CESS of counting out the money, the {" strons
q man." who was to receive it, seemed severe
!. ly agitated Convulsive throbs heaved hi
Q bosom. A "head of water collected in eacl
V eve. and fed large streams of the same limpit
liquid that slowly coursed down his cheeks
t while the muscles of his face worked as
o they were working " by the job" The owne
e of the mill was touched, and, at the same tim
wondering at the sorrow he displayed kind
: ly inquired the cause ofhis grief Sympath
If was too much for the mans feelings. H
o was obliged to bury his face in his handkel
W chief to smother the tremendous boo-hoo'
= that made every atom Of his stalwart fram
culver like calf's foot jelly, while he replied
