Y ork last week. They were sold by
Messrs. Geo. Hammond & U. ID. witch
ell. Messrs. Cherbino & Williamson re-
turned from western Pennsylvania
few days since, where they disposed of
three hundred ewes and nineteen rams at
good paying prices. We are much pleas
ed to chronicle these evidences Of the re-
turn of activity in the fine wooded sheep
trade. The advance in the price of wool
in both New York and Boston within a
few days will give more activity to the
sheep trade, and probably advance the
price of good blooded, fine wooded sheep
within short time.
We copy the following article from the
Budget knowing that it carries truth with
It's statement. Messrs. Buttolph & Miner
sell these stoves in this place.
TROY STOVES AT THE STATE FAIR.
Whenever a manufacturing place runs
to speciality it ultimately reaches very
near to perfection in the get up and com {.
pleteness of the article to which it special
y devotcs its attention. Troy runs to
toves, and manufactures more probably
than does any other locality in the uni
verse, and we are happy to say of more
complete and perfect kind than are made
anywhere else. This was we'll illustrated
at the State Fair at Albany last week.
In the matter Of cooking stoves, Troy was
especially away ahead of all competition,
for it carried off the two first premiums
for the best cooking stoves, and as there
was wide competition it may be set down
as toerably certain that these two stoves
are the best Of their kind produced in the
world. The first premium awarded to
Paris q Co. for the Mansard stove was
for a wood cook stove, and the first pre-.
MUM awarded for the best and most per-
feet coal cooking stove was awarded to
SWEET, Qumby q Perry's New Empire
hot air, gas and base burning cooking
stove As the great mass of purchasers
want a coal cooking stove, and not one
adapted mainly to wood fuel, the first
premium awarded to the New Empire is
the tribute of superiority in which the
public have most interest. Tho New
Empire has taken first premiums this Fall
at the following fairs: Western New
York state fair, New England fair, and
Minnesota state fair, besides county fairs
too numerous to mention. This stove
has been out about three and half years
and there are about 10000 of them now
in USE This year SWEET, Quimby & Perry
will make and sell about 10000 of the
New Empire cooking stoves The New
Empire has received food of tcstimo.
mails from all over the country, and the
State Fair, in awarding it the first pre-.
MUM, has only echoed the popular yer.
dict. We are glad to know that Troy
firm makes the best cooking stove in the
world.-Troy Budget.
METHODIST PULPIT The Chicago
Fire was made the basis of the sermon
at the Methodist church. Text las. 3
"Behold how great matter little fire
kindleth." lst. The preacher dwelt or
the hour and circumstances Of the fire as
contras:cd with our own on the Sab
bath evening Of its occurrence. He Their
applied the text as follows First the
little fre-the Irish woman and hel
lamp. 1t was "a little fire. but its re-
suits, through careless handling were APP
paliug. Here he dwelt on the need Of
care in the smallest acts Of life. Often
mighty forces are effected. Great cner.
gies tho latent, are at every hand. The
connecting line between them may be
perfect and immediate as at Chicago

piled this to moral life, and illustrated
the effects on man Of slight events,
through the close relation which Chris
tianity enabled us to hold in these latter
days. The responsibility Of ALL by this
circumstance was tearfully increased
Both the means of doing good and evil
were fcarfully augmented. He deduced
from these facts, the necessity of every
man looking after the things of his neigh
bors, the rich after the poor, the forum.
ate after the unfortunate, and thought if
they did not, painful recompenses and re.
venges would be exacted of them. He
dwelt on the event as one which, while it
awoke the benevolent sentiments of the
community, also illustrated the ordinary
selfishness which prevailed. 1t was a

as it could be done, by seeking to render
all individuals more knowing, more wise
