To LETTER WRITERs.-Persons should

A Rich SELL-A short time since, an
Irish woman called upon merchant in
Clarified, to inquire the the price of pork
and, on being informed it was selling at ,
cents, she departed. A few days ago she
sent hog to the store, and then called for
her pay. when she was told it was worth on

not give more than ten cents, or he would
lose money, as in cutting up the hog he
could get but little for the head; in fact, he
would take 3 cents pound for it. She at
once replied, Faith, an I'll take it at that
price, whereupon he sold her the head at
cents a pound and then paid her 10 for
the hog all round. The Irish woman was a
little too sharp for the merchant that time
she having made eighty five cents in the
head transaction.
