GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES OF CLOTHING
An advertisement of C. w. Freeland & Co.. in
another column, tells its own story as to the
enormous fall of prices in every description of
clothing. This well known firm have been and
are large manufacturers of clothing for the whole
sale trade, but the almost complete stagnation of
business causes dealers to purchase sparingly,
and they therefore offer the whole of their inn
mense stock at RETAIL for cash. at prices far below
the cost of manufacture. There is no mistake
about it, as all will see who examine the goods
and learn the prices at which they are willing TO
sell them.

UNRULY LAWYERS SENT TO JA1L.-Judge
Claggett, of the first Judicial Court in Iowa,
made rule that lawyers who had cases in
court should not leave with notice. This did
not please them. And to put His Honor out
of countenance, they would get up, one after
another, and say with long faces and Juvenile
accent, ''please, thir, may go outf" His
Honor bore this as long as he could. when he
had them all put in Jail. The Burlington

cepting the penitentiary, ever contained so
much latent rascality as the Madison Jail,

Mr.. John de la Haye, of Manchester, has
taken out patent for submerging electric ca
bles. II eneloses abe cable in ''soluble com
pound, capable Of floating it for time on the
water He claims that FIVE miles can be paid
out before it begins to sink, and that when it
goes down it will be gradual. The cable would
thus descend into the ocean horizontally instead
OF perpendicularly. A committee of engineers
were to examine into the matter.-N. Y Courier
and Enquirer.
If we understand the chief difficulty in laying
the electric cable, the above invention will very
much increase it. The great trouble consis' ed,
as We are informed, in the sweeping Ithe wire
far out Of its direct course, while sinking, by the
currents deep below the surface, so that it would
have required a much greater length than was
contemplated. If wire should be prepared as
above the current would have so much The lon
er time to act upon it, and would of course, bear
it proportionately greater distance out OF its
course. It is true that the danger of breaking
wire might possibly be diminished, but even that
issomewhat doubtful, as the strain caused by the
action OF the current upon SO much greater
length of wire exposed to its action while sinking
might be mole than an equivalent for the strain
caused by the weight of the wire when it sinks di.
reetly.

YANKEE ADAPTATION To CIRCUMSTANCES.
1t has been found necessary by the officers at
the railroad depot in Asylum street, to reduce
the pay of the work men on the wood trains
twenty per cent, and the laborers were offered
yesterday fifty cents day. A large force of
them-Irishmen, all-were ready to go to
work at the old rates, but they refused to sub
init to thetwenty per cent. ofF-and the result
was that the wood train yesterday was manned
chiefly by Yankees, who were willing to earn
half a dollar rather than lie idle and earn
nothing. Today the wood tram was made up
entirely of Americans, most of them mechan-
les of various trades, who have the good
sense TO take a job at half dollar, rather
than do nothing Hartford Times, 9TH.

Ian animal quite stranger in those parts.
When first discovered, he took to tree, but
thinking it was coon, young Greene shook

case of misplaced confidence on the part Of
the dog. The first bite filed his mouth and
jowls so full Of the quilts that he could never
shut his jaws together again, and after such
efforts as could be were made for his relief, he
was killed to put him out Of his misery.

six hundred and seventy one, and six hundred

only eighteen months old, and as the aggregate
weight was 1912 pounds, they must have increas

Buckeyes to beat Mr.. Davis in raising pork.

This James B., who pulled down the rafters
