APPLES EXTRAORDINARY car
loads Of apples-two hundred and
seventy barrsIs-were received in two
days last week by Bagley & Ingman,
grocers at this place, and the greater
part of them disposed of in the same
length Of time, more than one hundred
barrels being sold and delivered the
first day after their receipt. This is u
pretty large stroke of apple business for
q place like Upton; but Messrs. Il. 4 I.

AGAINST TIME.-A raid OH time has
been made at the Union School House.
Wednesday morning the clocks were
missing out of all the school rooms save
one-the Primary; and examination of
the stoves developed the fact that they
had been wantonly burned up. This is
malicious mischief of the untimeliest sort,
and will bring it's perpetrators to grief
If discovered. The intention seems to
be to find them out, too, IS S25 reward
las u--u offered ny the School Board
for information leading to their detec-
ton.

Court, grew out Of the affair; this, also,
springing up while the decision Of the
main question was in allegiance. When
the District Township Board, by some
OF the intermediate decisions, were in
the ascendency, it proposed applying
the money raised by taxation for the
purpose Of building large school
house in No. l as at first contemplated,
to the building OF two smaller houses
instead, which the new districting had
made necessary. Toprevent this, when
it looked imminent, Hinkhouse and
others obtained q writ enjoining the
Treasurer, District Township Board,
and all others, from using said money
for any purpose other than that for
which the tax was levied. Trial upon
that motion is still pending in the Dis
trict Court, and will, probably be had at
the December term; after which, it is
certainly to be hoped, for the peace Of
the community and the good of the
school interests, that the Sugar Creek
School Case will disappear from judicial
records. After having been twice before
the County Superintendent, twice be-
fore the State Superintendent, and put
ting in All appearance once each in the
District and Circuit courts, besides keep.
ing whole township in more or less Of
q ferment for months, it can certainly
be bid adieu without much regret on the

STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.-A meeting
of the stockholders of the Merchants
line of Memphis and St, Louis steamers
took place in the Chamber OF Commerce
last afternoon Capt McManus stated
that they had hoped to absorb the prin-
cipal part of the trade between St. Louis
and Memphis, amounting to between 5000
and 1000 tons weekly. The cost of the
boats already built reached 100000.
The original capital of the company was
$4,000 of which $4,000 were paid in
The boats had been insured at cost of
$4,000 each, and the official expenses
amounted to about $4,000. Expenses of
running up to present time foot up
about $4,000. The present liability of
the company is something about $40, 600
Some means, he said, must be pro-
vided to meet these liabilities 1t was
agreed that "the Directors have discre-
tionary power to run or lay up the boats;
that they be empowered TO raise money
in the most feasible manner to meet
present obligations, and be authorized
to institute suit against delinquent sub
scribers." The meeting then adjourned
