Such is the striugency Of the times thar

During the week the cotton market has
been more inactive and depressed, with
less disposition to operate both among
buyers and sellers than at any time since
the war. Day after day the advices from
Liverpool have reported a downward ten
dcncy until prices became almost nominal
and the market perfectly fiat. On Thurs

the afternoon, kilograms were received
from New York quoting the market strong

ter tone 10 the market here, which we may
expect to be more fully developed on

Several hours were also occupied in

ment>, and church history, receiving also
many concentrations for their success in

leaving a balance of seven dollars III the
hands Of the agent.
Rev. J. NJ. p. Atkinson, D. D., and DIR.

nn,s;on as to their relative merits, Orange

majority.

THE SHORT DRESs.-The New York
Times says that the introduction of the
short dress is attended with considerable
embarrassment. Ladies fear ridiculc, and
imagine that it will have but brief run,
even if it should come into general use.
The short dress is not so very short as TO
offend the taste or the scruples of the most
fastidious. 1t simply dispenses with SUI
periluous length, thereby enabling women
to make some Other use of their hands
than holding her dress ont Of the dirt and
mud. 1t subScrves cleanliness; for the
most disgusting Of all sights is that of
long dress after walk upon muddy streets.
1t removes the extra weight from the
waist, which has heretofore been so de-
structive to female health. In short, with
the thick-soled boots that are coming into
vogue, the short dress is sensible in any
point of view.

NOT WEIGmED.-The Salem Register
hears that man called at provision
store III that city a few days since, and
bickered considerable time about the

ana soon after his departure the propre-
tor missed fine ham. A few hours
iater' a boy was sent 10 the customers

ham returned, a, twas not weighed. The
nnsnSpec,ing wife (her husband happened
TO be OUT immediately gave the ham to the

A long time ago little boy twelve years
old, on his way to Vermont, stopped at
country tavern and paid for his lodging

asking it as a gift. Fifty years later the
