The experiment of periodical trade sales, does
not appear to be in favor with operators generally,
yet the bidding and disposition of buyers this morn
ing was construed rather encouraging. Some
OF the purchasers were said to be bogus, yet the
greater portion were Enthusiastically bona fde sales
After the Kentucky grades were disposed of, all
the company were invited to partake of refresh
ments in the shape of lager bier, sandwiches,
cheese, &c, which was accepted in manner which
expressed practical understanding of the chewing

SUFFERINGs AND ADVENTURES OF A LOST Child
The little girl at West Milford who was lost in the
woods from Monday until Thursday, when found
i've miles away, was in a famished condition and
ravenously devoured some bread which her dscov-
erers happened to have in their possession. Bor-
dering the house of her parents is spring or
brook, where the family washing is usually done
Whilst the mother at the brook washing, the
little one, aged about three and half years was
playing about the bushes with a child somewhat
| Older. AS the bushes are quite thick, and the
country back mountainous and altogether uninhab-
tied, it proved impossible to find the lost child and
| she would undoubtedly have persisted but for her
| accidental discovery by farmer and his man, who
were going over the mountain to cut little plot of
grass, when they the little thing irving to oct
| away through the underbrush. Her feet were hare
and with her arms were all scratched and wounded
by briars and brush, by which they had been torn
Upon offering her piece of bread from their din
ner pail, she snatched it and devoured it almost
ravenously. Her little hood she had kept upon her
head although it had been united all the while: it
is singular that during the days and nights spent
in the woods she had kept this little hood She
was found in direct line FIVE miles from home: but
how far she may have travelled in her wanderings to
get that distance away cannot be told. She must
have gone over rocky places where she was in con-
slant danger oftumbing over precipices, and where
rattlesnakes thick as to keen men and boys
in fear from their proximity. She had also forced
her way through briars, over swamps, and through
thick scrub districts, where only huntsmen pene-
| trate-for the country thereabout is the widest
without fear, but must have suffered terribly
from hunger and from the pains of her lacerated
| limbs. Patterson Guardian.
