ORIGINAL COMMERCIAL TRANsACTIoN-SeLL
ing Children for a Peculiar Consideration
Not long ago, a widower in this city having
three fine children, aged two, four and six
years, and desiring to visit California, felt
them an incumbrance, and so made an ar
rangement to exchange them with a person
for a certain amount of apple-butter, as it is
called here, and actually disposed of them in
that way for that article.
Some parents will think this father brutal
in the extremei but he may have regarded
his offspring simply as convenient articles,
and supposed that he traded them off very
proftably-even, perhaps, at a price above
their market value. At any rate, the trans
action was so peculiar that it merits chron-
telling as an evidence of the ultra practical
bility of the age.
Selling children for apple butter, even, inn
presses US unfavorably. If he had disposed
of them for any thing else, or given them
away, it might have been well enough; but
to sell them for apple butter reminds us of
the Yankee youth, who "swopped off, his
grandmother for a plug of tobacco and a
ieWsharp.

RIVER NEWS

b Ohio has altered little here since our
last issue, though there has been a gradual
decline, the water having receded during the
forty-eight hours ending last evening-when
it was nearly stationary some twelve
inches leaving a channel depth at this point
of over twenty-one feet. The River at Pitts
burg was swelling gradually at last advices,
with ten a half feet at that port.
The weather remained as warm as summer
and entirely charming here until yesterday
morning, when it began raining, and has
been at intervals to the present hour-eleven
o'clock at night-with a prospect of c~ontinu-
ance until morning.
Business on the Landing was but moder-
atelY active on Saturday, with fair offerings
of freight; little for the upper ports, st.
Louis or the Arkansas River, but good for
Nashville and New Orleans at the annexed

DIsAPPoINTMEET.-T The lecture of I. D.
Harris, announced to take place at the COL
ored church on New. street, east of Broad
way, last evening, upon Hayti, did not come
off according to the programme. 1t appears
that MI. Alexander Clark, one of the trustees
of the church, feeling his dignity invaded by
the fact that he had not been consulted touch
ing its Oecupancy-althOugh the other trust
ees had given their consent-took the re-
spOnsibility to lock the door and put the key
in his pocket, in the face of a large number
of persons, both white and colored, who had
assembled to hear the lecturer. Mr.. Clark
is q professor of the tonsorial art, under the
Spencer House, and kept a crowd of people
standing out in the rain until they became
tired and dispersed, with a view, it would
seem, to give them to understand that he
was a person of authority and consequence.
The lecture of Mr.. Harris will be deliv-
cred at some other place, of which notice
will be given.

CHANGE IN HI NAME OF THE CUMMINs-
VILE PosT-oFFIoE.-Some months since an
effort was made to change the name of the
town of Cumminsville to Ludlow, and q
public meeting held to consider the subject,
when it appeared that about a dozen of those
present favored the change, and the remain
der, numbering about 200, opposed it, and
consequently the matter was dropped at the
time, and the people supposed was indef-
nitely postponed. Resting in this belief
they were somewhat surprised, a few days
sinee, to learn that an order had been re-
ceived from the department at Washington,
changing the name of the post-ofice, without
consulting the wishes of the citizens, and a
public meeting was held, at which the fol-
lowing, among other resolutions, were
passed;
Resolved; That we feel aggrieved and in
dignant at such a course taken by a small
number of persons, without consulting the
citizens of said town.
Resolved; That it is with regret that we
have heard that the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton Railroad Company have been
prevailed upon to take part, by changing the
name of the station 10 that of Ludlow, and
while we feel q warm interest in said road,
we will not countenance any interference in
sur right, and request them not to make said
| change.
RESOLVED; That we, the citizens, enter our
protest to the name Of Ludlow for our post
Office, and it is the wish Of this meeting that
the name Of Cumminsville be reinstated for
the post. Office.
RtsolUed: That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the city papers, and
a special copy be sent to Mr.. Jacob Hoffner,
have good reason to believe got the name of
the Office changed, as indicated above.
The resolutions were reported by a COM
Dittee, and are signed by A. String, Presi-
dent and WIS. Brown, Secretary.

slider it useless to do so at present. Can and
