superior judgment for the purpose Of
protiting by his calamity. The man
who steals at a fire acts from the same
motive. Don't do it,
ID, When you bid At an auction, don't
be 50 foolish as to bid high under the
belief that the auctioneer will return
your money, uaiess he says he ,riv, be-
cause you stand good chance to lose
your investment.
Sd. When stranger is making gifts
to his acquaintance don't let your love
, of gain make you so impolite as to crowd
yourself forward for the purpose of
appropriating all the gifts to yourself,
for 1t don't show good bringing up.
4th. Never try to take S. from a man
without giving an equivalent; but re-
member that honesty is the best policy.
9Th. If your sole object is to make
money, remember that others may act
toward the same end, and that common
sense yields very large profit and is an
excellent safeguard. -..
9Th. Should you conclude to take IS
from man you suppose to be crazy,
and should You in your efforts discover
that the man is sharper than you are,
and that the v has gone the other way,
don't be so foolish Us to work yourself
into passion, for it only adds loss of
temper to loss of money and enhances
the value of the joke which has heen
played at your expense.
18th. When the man to whom you
have sold cheap, gets we'll away with
your money in his pocket and agood
team before him, don't follow on foot
with q view to do him serious injury,
for the law is strict against assault and
battery. s,. r,a - ... .-sa.sss s...

o"ID F.-heTcHaDEs intending
to retire from,businessp are apt to "clos {
OUT their stock at cost; but a number o1
our citizens, who have been In business
for many years, were "sold OUT at auc.
ton, last Saturday, so as to lose in the
aggregate, $s5. Whether they design
retiring from business il not known: but
some good business men think they
should retire. The facts are as follows.
A stranger came into town, procured
an auctioneer's license and proceeded to
yend his jewelry on the street. By way
OF preparation, lie proclaimed that he
had more money than he wanted and
was travelling for the purpose of giving
1t away, rs 1t was amore blessed to give
than to receiye.' He accordingly sold
$40 for 80; s. for 81. &C., and finally scat
tered among the crowd some small
change. He then brought out his brass
Jewelry and sold some rings for ten cents
each, returning the money to the pur-
chasers a. soon as all the rings were TAX
en-. After selling several lots in the
Same way, but at different prices, he
sold number of loclets for $5 each, re-
turned the money and informed the by-
ISLANDERS that he had given them enough,
that he wanted to GO and sell to another
crowd little further down the street,
and that he did not want them to follow.
He accordingly moved forward q few
rods, but many of the crowd concluded
that he was fanatic who did not know
the value Of money, and that there was
fine opening for making something
out Of his weakness, and not being viii
ling to yield such an opportunity to 9TH
en- they followed him. He commenced
selliRg again, without promising to re-
turn the money, but returned it each

for S. each, when he quietly informed
the ptrcfia1esxth at the money was his
and that he hhdsaot promised to give it
back.
Some Of the purchasers quietly hung
their heads as if endcavoring to discover
something. Others felt streak break
through them suddenly. This was fol-
lowed by a feeling of intense chagrin,
which soon ripened, in some cases, into
ungovernable rage. The auctionecr did
not wait to see them work out their feel
ings but went his way. When he got
well out Of town several Of the victims
made psterile endeavors to capture him;
but their cfortsonly increased the laugh-
ter which was already shaking the sides
OF half the town.
Seventeen persons wore enlightened
to the tune Of S. each. Many Of these
wero old men; and some who had travel
ed number Of years, had their "eye

Capt. Spicer was born in Tioga county,
New York, Feb. 18th 1928, and moved
to Iowa and located in Upton in 1854.
He was an honorable and liberal mind

by all who knew him. At the time OF
his death we gave short account of his
military career, and do not consider 1t
necessary to recapitulate; suffice it to
say, in all departments Of the service,
he was always where duty called him.

DISCRETION AND ELOPEMENT.- bur
town is now fast spreading itself" up
on the faceof the. earth, an occasional
incident is necessary in order to develop
"city STYLE" and make it as notorious
for crime as Muscatine, Davenport,
Chicago, and other small places. On
the 18th inst, one Powers, who former
+ly lived in this place, arrived in town
in company with his wife, and put up at
one Of our hotels. Afterremaining here
three days, he stated he had some stock
at Clarence, and it was necessary he
should go there and ship 1t to Chicago,
and would return on the following Fri
day. His wife often had reasons
for believeing he intended to- desert
her, and strongly suspected him at this
time, and consequently requested him
to leave her enough money to pay her
board. This he refused to do, and at the
same time neglecting to pay his own
bill ut the hotel. Powers went to
Clarence finding his wife's trunk there,
he rified it of its contents, and sent it to
her-thus robbing her of all her cloth
ing except the garments on her back.
He also found his stock at the railroad,
consisting ofan out-cast named Hannah
Wise; and in company with her elopea
for parts unknown. Wcunderstand that
the deserted wife has received money
enoughs through the liberality of our
citizens to pay her expenses to her
home in New York. This is the first
incident, Of this kind, which it has been
our duty to record, and hope it will be
the last.
