| Jim B was always rather mischiev-
/ Gus one, and for some years was acting
Clerk of our city court. While thus en-
gagged he was called ON by one Michael
Shaugnessey for marriage license, which
was granted. The next day Michael
called again. After sitting silent for some
time, and stroking down the hair upon
his forehead, as only q bashful Irishman
docs or can do, he opened his business:
Mr. B, you mind got license from
you on yesterday; now, Mr.. b, don't
you tell anybody, but I've gone and lost it,.
Now, what's to be done?'
After amusing himself little with the
poor fellows perplexity, Jim kindly made
out and handed him duplicate; and
Mike, with many bows and thanks
started. Just as he reached the door, Jim
called him back.

lips, as Mike broke into long trot, which
he never broke until he had found his girl
and trotted her to the church, where, on
that same Thursday afternoon, the twain
were made one flesh.

COMMERCIAL.
WHOLESALE MARKET REPORT
CORRECTED DAILY BY

Market Place,
Produce and Commission Merchant,

KNOXVILLE. TENN. July %, 1872.
The transactions in wheat during the past
week embraced the sale Of about 600 bushels
of prime White at s$l.25, and the shipment of
several car loads of previously engaged Wheat.
The absence of mill orders and want of con-
idence on the part of spectators, places the
market in q nominal and unsatisfactory condi-
ton. 1t is now apparent that opening the mar
ket at LOO was an error. If the first purchas-
es had been on a basis of $l.25 for White, mill
ers' orders would have produced a lively COM
petition and kept the trade in healthy condi
ton. As it is, the reaction runs prices below
actual value. Mill orders can be obtained only
by offering inducements.
Corn continues inactive, except for local sup
plies, at former quotations.
Oats are freely offered at 30 TO s. cents, loose
Several car loads were bought at these figures
Bacon and Lard are in good demand at former
quotations.
Our market is we'll supplied with Vegetables
and Fruits.
Poultry Butter and Eggs find ready sale at
fair prices.
No demand for hay except for local wants
The crop is short, but good. If pro
| ducers and shippers will combine interests II

article, we can soon make this an important ar

Beecher on ChrIstian Gentlemen.

l feel very proud of being a Christian
man. | feel proud of the rights of a
Christian man. There is nothing that is
right for any man to do, that it is not
right for me, being a Christian man, to do.

the question of right than anybody else.
l think this is particularly the case with

Hem to see these black coats sit around
at home, you would think that they were
so many black crows on a branch; but
during vacation, when they are away from
h me, they will roll ten-pins and play bill
lizards and be as jolly as anybody" Now,
the fault is, not that ministers roll ten
pins in Newport or at the White Noun
tains but that they do not do it at home.
1t is not that they laugh away from home,
but that they do not laugh at home. If a
man when he is away from home shows
an aptitude for pleasure and none for Sc
riousness; if he manifests a desire TO be in
the joyous concourse and none 10 be in the
religious conference, he is very Justly q
subject for criticism and rebuke.

When found she was hanging in the house
and after being cut down, it was with great
difficulty that life was restored. 1t was
supposed to have been caused by suffering
from neuralgia.

HOUSEKEEPING AT FAIRS.

HOUSEKEEPING AT FAIRS.
A person who takes the correct view
| OF horse racing at our agricultural fairs,
writes as follows: who are to blame
for our fairs being managed by dishonest
and immoral men? No one but ourselves.
We have been negligent and idle, and
have allowed the fast men to take the
reins out of orr hands and drive off With
our own team. Brother farmer, let us
awake and take care of our interests In
the future, by managing them ourselves
or employing those who sympathize with
US. As the officers of our societies have
heretofore been cons tituted, it has too Of
ten been the case that if you spoke to one
of them about change cf premiums from
fast horses to horses of usefulness, and to
the best cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry,
or farm produce, his answer has been:
We cannot raise the money to pay the
expenses of our society without these at
fractions.
NUMBER OF EGGS IN A HEN.
1t has been ascertained that the ova-
rum of fowl is composed of 900 oYules

of her life cannot possibly lay more than
600 eggs, which, in the natural course,
are distributed over nine years in the fol-
