Unexpected demise'

market Of Charley Harding, that old trust
who has been the bare of the butchers in this
place, has departed-a q sad bereavement to
the prinier-Poor pay was the cause of his

Anew way to AdVerIis sc.
An enterprisiug firm in this place have re>
Gently hit upon an entirely novel and appar-
emily successful way of advertising an extern
sve aud elegant stock Of Dress Goods and
Trimmings, CIoakiEgs, Carpetings &c. Their
plan seems to be about as follows: They
first gather up all their accumulated shin
plasters. These they take to the city and
exchange on tie most favorable terms for
elegant styles Of dress goods and other artI-
cles which ladies, do most dearly, love to
have. These goods are then brought here
and sold at marvelously low prices 10 ladies,
who, when they get fine dress, don't care
a fg who sees it; and who, when asked
about the price, allow their mouths to go off.
To hear the dear creatures talk, at some OF
their accidental meetings-where they get
together on purpose to discuss these matters
one would think that Sherman e Lathrop
had more dress patterns &c, than the late
Mrs. Government" and were beating that
lady badly On prices. This funny way
of advertising is giving them crowds of Gus
toners who seizer lke-come, and see, and
take.

sion, statement of a crop Of cucumbers that
have raised this season. planted a very
trle over two square rods Of ground, with
cucumber seed, in drills, and the product is
as follows: While growing, we used all we
needed for table use and gave away a great
many, besides selling about S. worth at one
time. have also picked g. 100 in salt, the
most of which have sold at one collar per
hundred, which will yield about SIS per rod
multiplied By l60-the number of square
rods in the acre-will produce two thousand
four hundred dollars per acre, extra of ex>
pense, as those used while growing will pay
all expenses. Will some of our enterprislng
gardeners beat this in Little Wyoming p
