GEORGE TO W N .

Those EMPTY SroCKINGs.-About half-pas
seven o'clock last evening as the secretary aud
treasurer Of the board of trustees of public
schools OF this city was toasting his shns before
a comfortable fire he was startled by a violent
ring al the door bell. The servant promptly re-
spOnded but soon returned and reported til at
there was nobody there but that there was a
string across the door on which was suspended
any number of ladies empty stockings. The
astOnished secretary and treasurer looked at the
servant 10 discover whether or not she
had lost her senses, and finding no trace
of mind demented betook himself
to the door, where, sure enough, he found
the feminine hosiery as described. The string
OF which the stockings were suspended was
taken into the house when it as found that at
tached to each stocking was the name of a
teacher of the public schools Of Georgetown.
The official scratched his head, and finally came
to the conclusion that the siguificance of the
whole matter lay in the fact that, as the
three months they had not the wherewithal
to ill their stockings for Christmas. FINAL he
obtained hint from some source that the per
perators OF the joke were c0ngregated IN an
adjoining mouse, upon which he sent a cordial
invitation for the teachers to make their ap.
pearance. This they did, and were entertained
by the secretary and treasurer in excellent
style. tie explained 70 them his inability, sow
ing to circumstances over which he had no con-
troll, to satisfy their claims, and hoped that
long they would receive the compensation which
they have richly merited by faithful service.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-Un Monday last, Mr..

attempted to cut his throat with butcher
knife while in his room. The family hear him
fall and ran in and found him on the floor. with
the blood streaming from a wound in his neck.
Dr. Davidson was called and dressed the wound
and thinks, with care, he can save his life. Mr.
Shoemaker has been melancholy for several
monthslpast, and it is supposed that in moment
of insanity he tried TO destroy himself.
REV. DIR. HUNTINGTON, who thought of re-
signing the pastoral care of the Baptist Church

New York Wool Market.

The demand noted in our last report
has developed into more liberal sales of
considerable amounts have been closed.
Manufacturers show a disposition to
purchase freely, and only slight shad-
ing from the current quotations would
be necessary to move large amounts of
Wool. There are few holders, however,
who are willing to yield in their views,
and the sales are chiefly on a basis of
full quotations. Fleeces are most in
quired for, and all fine graded Woods
are firmly held. Foreign Woods are
scarce, and the sales are light at about
previous rates, with Australian doing a
shade better The bulk of the foreign
held here during the summer has
been shipped to the British markets,
where prices for some time past have
been better than they were here. Texas
and California Woods are not in very
full stock, and the sales are small. The
bulk of the Texas is held by one house,
and its sale is not pressed at present
prices. Pulled Woods are rather quiet
The sales include 10000 lbs extra and
double extra Ohio, chiefly the latter
within range of 50@45, 5000 lbs un.
washed at 36c, 10000 lbs medium do al
37c, 10000 lbs double extra Michigan

OBITUARY.

Mary, E. Graver was born July 5th
1876. Died December, I'd 1873, being
in the 2Sth year of her age. Mary was
united in marriage with Mr.. Isaac Ora
yer Oct, 10Th 1873, having been marri-
ed but little over six weeks when she
passed away.
She was the daughter of A. Y and
Sarah Mcfarland and grand daughter of
Absalom Denison of Mt, Perry, at whose
home she was married.
Her parents have been dead for some
years, and Mary with three other sisters
were left orphans indeed: But God and
the church take care of such children,
and Mary had Joined the M. E. church
when about fourteen years of age, at
Sumerfeld in 1860. She was quiet
humble christian, true and faithful to
the last, for during her sickness she sang
and prayed trusting in the Lord always.
A few days before dying said: "Tell my
sisters and companions to be good, and
meet me in Heaven" A few hours be-
fore she died, she bid all the friends
present farewell, giving to each her
hand as the said farewell till we meet be-
yond the river. She would often say
am still trusting in Jesus, and thus trust.
ing him she quietly passed to her re-
ward.
