Several weeks ago, when il was supposed
that all the fruit 10 that vicinity had ben
killed by the frost, a gentleman living
near Galena, who owns a large orchard,
offered to sell all the fruit it bore this year
for twenty-five cents. The gentleman to
whom he made the offer accepted the propo-
sition, and paid over the money in the
presence Of witnesses. 1t now appears that
the owner Of. the orchard now desires to
back out from his bargain, as the trees are
full of fruit. The purchaser, of course, is
equally desirous to hold him to it, as he secs
a handsome return for his investment when
the fruit natures. The quarrel between the
parties is waxing warm, the owner claiming
that the sale was only a bit Of fun, while
the purchaser contends that he acted in
good faith and will fight the trade through
the courts if necessary. What will be the
result of the affair time alone will stermine.

One stamp from the wooden peg OF a Union
soldier, and him disfrauchised will be worth

rebel who, shot him. What's cpsious record
