E~O ONE YEAR AGO TO MIGHT many per-
sons regretted that they were unable to
obtain good seats at the musical entertain
ment of the English Lutheran Sabbath
School. For this reason the teachers and
officers have decided to give three evening
entertainments instead of two, but as the
platform will be extended some sixteen
feet, the hall will not easily accommodate
over FIVE hundred persons. The best way,
therefore, is to secure tickets atthe earliest
opportunity. Mr.. Geo. Keelipe, of Bridge
port, has undertaken the preparation of
the beautiful arches which are to support
the words "Glory to God in the highest"
The music will be of the first order; among
the instrumental pieces will be found
"Star of Bethlehem, with variations" by
Wallace, and the Victory March," by
Otto Fox. AS this Sabbath School is
caring for the orphans of our soldiers, the
hall should be crowded every night.

EaS-THE FAMILY MARKET.-HIGH PRICE
OF BUTTER AND EaGs.-THE REASON WHY.
Butter is now selling in market at fifty
cents pound. Eggs sell for forty cents q
dozen, chickens command forty. five and
fifty cents a piece aud potatoes have ad
vanced to fifty cents peck. In other ar
ticles there is no change worthy of note.
When people pay such high prices for
the standard Iuxuries of life, they general
ly like to know the reason. The high price
of butter is accounted for in this way If
a man owns a good COW he kills her, sells
her hide for good price, dispOses of her
meat at a high figure and thus saves the
grain which the COW would otherwise have
consumed and which also commands q
good price. The COW don't give any more
milk after she has shufled off this mortal
coil, and butter can't be made without
milk. Consequently butter is scarce and
the price is regulated according to the sup
ply. So, if countryman has hen that is
in. tue habit of laying eggs it don't pay him
to encourage her in that laudaOle business
because he can bring her to market, killed
and dressed, aud sell her for forty five and
fifty cents, and thus save the little grain
that might have found it's way into her
craw, and avoid the trouble of gathering
aud caring for her eggs. What we have
said about the dead COW is equally true of
the deceased hen. She don't lay any eggs
after this important change III her history
takes place, and consequently eggs are
scarce and command a high price. The
potatoe crop is somewhat afflicted with the
rot, and that popular esculent is becoming
scarce in consequence. Hence the high
price.
If there should, by any possibility, be
anything IN these few lines, that has not
already suggested itself to the most care
less observer, we shall feel amply repaid
for half hours time yesterday spent in
close conversation with ssgsciOus aud
worldly minded green grocer.

~ A THfRT OAUeHT.-on Tuesday
evening the police we're advised that a
man of very suspicious bearing had been
seen going up Main. street having very
suspicious bundle upon his shoulders. OF
fcsrs scroggins and George and James
santmiers got upon the mans track and
followed him to Bridgeport, where they
took possession OF his person and his bum
die. The fellow, who gave his name as
John Henderson, exhibited his pack to the
officers, and pretended to be very much
intoxicated. He said he bad taken the
goods from steamboat at the landing,
but was so powerfully overcome by liquor
that he couldn't recollect the name of the
boat. AS the Wild Wagner had just left
the landing, the police at once teIegraphed
the captain of the boat with view of as
certaining whether himself or passen-
gers had sustained any loss. In the mean
time Henderson WAS committed to Jail for
further hearing.
The bundle contained lot of de LANES,
several shaWls, ladies and geutlemens'
gloves, etc., valued in all at about two
hundred dollars. Henderson, although he
pretended to be very drunk, had taken the
precaution to remove all marks from the
goods so as to prevent the possibility of
tracing them TO their proper ownership.
