CATTLE-The great proportion of the cattle
on sale to day were OF the better grades, con-

had it not have been for the one great draw

doubtless, been a good one, and all the pens
would III all probability have been cleared by
10 O'Clock NJ. As it is, there were quite
number left over, and we heard of several car
loads that were not put upon the market at ALL
There was considera ole inquiry for stock steers
and but very few of them on sale, which as in
the case of fat cattle, owing to the fact that
they are worth relatively more ia the west than
they will bring here. This class of stock may
be quoted at 51S96. Prime Iat steers and ex-
ira do SL49S15 with but very few sold above 81.
SHEEP.-The number of sheep on sale was lar
ger than it has been COR several weeks daSt
about l,200 head: the market was slow. the
butchers taking hold rather sparingly and so
far as we could learn, there was only one bunch
sold to go East. Holders, eowever, were pretty
stiff. refusing to mako any concessions in Or
der to effoet sales and they could not well do
otherwise, as they had to pay more in the coun-

cents per pound. One bunch of fancy, averag-

simplified. Learning to read language would
be very difficult If all the letters of the alphabet
were round, and only known by their position

round letters in learning 10 read, as for the use
of round notes in learning to sing.

-'The Chronicle claims to have larger circu-
lation than we have and calls upon us to take
umn. When the Editor satisfies us that ne has
larger bona fide circulation than we nave we
will do so, but not till then.
P.S. Since writing the above we have re-
ceived letter from one P. o., stating that the
Editor sent q lot of his Chronicles TO persons
who do not take it, and the Postmaster had
orders to return them. This is the way the
Editor claims a larger circulation. We too,
could print . few more qu1res and SEND them
out, but wedon'tt think 1t would pay."-Gazette
We have on several occasions offered
to leave the question to the pressmen of
the two Offices, who know just what
amount of papers each Office, prints and
the editor of the Gazette declined the
proposal. We then offered to give to
charitable purposes certain sum if we
did not have the largest circulation, if
the editor of the Gazette would give
like sum if we did have. This was de-
clined. We then asked the editor to
take down that Haunting lie' at the
head of his columns, and he answers
that he will when we satisfy MIN that
we have the largest circulation. He has
heretofore declined all the proposals we
have made by which we proposed 10 sat-
isfy him, and refused all the known
methods of determining the question
and yet refuses to yield the point unless
unless we do satisfy him. We will be
very much Obliged to him if he will in
dicate how it will be possible to satisfy
him.
We assert that no postmaster in this
county has written him any such letter
as he speaks of, and we dare him to name
one who has. 1t is mere trick, lor every
intelligent man knows that a parto the
oath of postmaster is not TO make pub
lie the affairs of his office, and EVEN if
the statement contained in the above
was true, no postmaster would throw
himself liable to censure and removal by
making such q communication to him.
In order however, to knock the wind
out of that little trick we make this pro-
posal: If on examination by disinter-
ested persons-one selected by each edi-
tor and third one to be selected by the
two SO selected-there are tot two
st. Clairsville Gazetts uncalled for in
