The report of the Superintendent Of the
Onondaga Salt Springs shows that the
quantity produced in the year 1868, was
7,942, 1888 bushels; Of this ], ,437, $50 bush
els were by solar evsporations, known as
coarse salt, and 6.504, ,727 by fire heat
and known 70 the trade as fine salt The
total quantity produced since 1897, the
date Of the first leases Of lots for this pur-
pose, is stated to be l54, ,9S3, sos bushels
The revenue to the State from 1876 10 1868
inclusive. is S347, 1880. The quantity Of
solt produced in this period was 102, 70S,
348 bushels. The Superintendent recon-
mends an increase Of wages Of employees
of the works, but ssys nothing of ineress-
ing the State duty, which is now but one
cent per bushel; but this will be stoutly re-
sisted by the gentlemen composing the
0AOndags Salt Company, who have yirtu-
ally monopoly Of the whole thing.
The Saginaw springs, which are now
just being developed, produced last year,
over G, 6,000, 600 bushels.

A sharp Confidence. Operation.


One Of our best known and largest Lake
street dry goods houses-Which is not
proud Of the thing, and prefers to keep it
quiet, If possible-was, we understand,
Victimized in very sharp way on Tues
day afternoon last A tall, handsomely
dressed woman Of middle age entered the
store, and after an excessive display of
fsstidiousness, during which she once or
twice turned to leave the store az IL she
could not be suited, purchased twenty
Eve dollar dress pattern, offering in pay
ment hundred dollar bill on Canada
bank. The cashier scrutinizsd the bill
carefully and leisurely, and finally sent out
8 messenger TO the Office of the bank of
Montreal, to inquire into its genuineness.
Meantime my lady got her anger up
Was that the way they insulted their Gus
toners and did she look like swindler ?
She could inform her insulters that she
was not in the habit of passing counter
felt money, SC, SC.
The bill came back, and Wss pronounced
uudsniably genuine. But now the out
ragged dame demanded her money, and re-
fased to take the goods. The clerk return
ed il 10 her, protesting that no offense was
meant; the house was in the habit Of ex-
ereising crest caution the dress was cut
of, and it was pity to return it 10 the
shelf. So last she melted, but declared il
was the last cent she would ever spend at
that establishment She took her SIS in
change, and her dress, and departed.
After she was gone, it was found thai
she had changed the bill while her indig.
nation was bubbling, and had given in itG
stead counterfeit Of the same penomina-
ton, on tho same bank. She has not been
heard from since, and will probably prove
the genuineneas OF her threat to purchase
no more goods of that frm.- Chicago Post
