Gold opened at 1891, sold up to 14O. and closed at

WAS an abundance of strong buyers. Erie
Common, which has for long time been
controlled by pool, appears to be passing
into the hands of the public, and disposed to
advance, in sympathy with the rest of the railway
shares. AS the stock is probably now better dis
tnbuted and more strongly held than for long
period, its now inquiring why ii is that
this stock is selling from 30 10 20 per cent less than

Reasonable Objections.

The inficity and frequent separations of the
married atI,hicago seems to have caused hor-
ror of rnadmony among the bachelor fraternity
in that cir. which is we'll illustrated by the
means takn by one to break off an engagement
made who he was drunk. He told his own
story in curt, where he appeared to have the
big brothrs" of his afianced put under bonds
10 keep tf peace towards him:
sUntil week ago, your honor, was engaged
to be mar led to Sally, the sister of the prisoners

This shosed me towhat liquor could bring man,

her for tree months, and during that time did
my duty | visited her daily, took her to places
of amusement, and told her sweet lies. In fact,
l did evsything required except to name the
marriageday. In that procrastinated.
She Insisted that We should be married at

me. I kissed her and tried to kiss them-male
and female Then | told her in hic-eoughy
way, that [ had been unable get the false hair
she wished; that they cost too much. That did
the business. Indignant at thus apparently hay-
ing her deaTest secrets exposed to the young
ladies and gentleman there, she angrily told me
to eo-that must never come her again
