THE people of st. Lawrence county, N.

The Independent says of the New York
drygoods market "The supply of all goods,
foreign or domestic, is generally far beyond
the though large--of the communi-
ty, and prices, consequently, under such cir
cumstances and the advanced season, have
not any upward tendency. The sacrifice
on goods sold at auction has been very great.
Of this, jobbers have taken the advantage
and the public have the benefit"
A COUPLE were married in Gallatin, Ten

hundred miles for that purpose. They were
from Kentucky, he says, and when they ar

for their license. The magistrate married
them gratis, and the young men of Gallatin
gave them sufficient sum to pay their ex-
penses home.
DIR. MACKENZIE, in his obituary of the
late Mr.. BRUNEI, the engineer, says that
several years ago, when playing with one of
his children, Mr.. Brunei accidentally swal-
lowed golden half sovereign, which stuck
in his throat, and though the ablest surgical
aid was employed, it was found impossible
to remove it. The coin remained firmly
fixed in his throat for considerable period
and Mr.. Brunei, of very nervous temper
ament, appeared literally pining away. At
last, when things appeared in their worst
his servant gave him pinch of snuff, and
the violent sneezing which followed caused
the removal of the coin.
AT the st. Louis Fair, about TWENTY-FIVE
horses and sulkies we're flying around the
ring, when one of the horses took fright
bounding against several other horses, gen
eral panic seized upon the equine collection.
Gigs were smashed to spinters drivers
were hurled headlong from their seats to the
ground, and run over some of them held
on to their reins, and were dragged along
one or two got caught with their feet in the
wheels, and were hurled about in frightful
manner. Some of the horses attempted to
jump over the railing among the frightened
spectators. Others plunged madly for the
entrance and exit places, and dashed their
vehicles to pieces against the sides of the
passage-way, while a general kicking and
squealing among the horses, and the shouts
of the crowd of spectators, added to the ex.
citement of the scene. In five minutes it
was all over, and horses, men and gigs had
cleared the ring. Strange to tell, no one
was killed, though several received severe
contusions, and few escaped without bloody
feces or soiled and torn garments.
The farmers of the Upper Mississippi
have put on foot movement to bring their
surplus produce to Superior. Large guam.
titles Of surplus grain are lying in their
granaries, for which there is no natural
market but Superior. We understand that
our merchants will pay Chicago prices for
their grain, which is at least double what
