Saturday last was quite a busy day in
town, rs u great many farmers are
through harvesting and came to town to
take "a little recreation and purchase Il
few necessaries of life. Thursday was
quite a law day, as there were several
eases before Esq. Gilmore, but all were
postponed until next Saturday, when we
almost expect to see the Circuit Court
of Andrew county outdone.
On Saturday George NJ. Gregory sold
his country residence, containing fifteen
acres to James McCreary for five hun
dred dollars. Mr.. Gregory intends en-
tering mercantile pursuits. Success to
you, George.
DIR. c. w. Spicer has made quite n
tasty appearance to his residence by
adding a bay window to his east room.
He also intends building a barn as soon
as he can get it up. The DIR. is a live
man, and goes in for Improvements and
not being outdone by his neighbors.
Red-top and timothy hay is selling
quite readily for from five to eight dol
lars per ton.
Some two weeks or more since, a
Professor, with perfect musical talent,
paid our town a visit. and attended a
neck-tie party given by the Good Temp
lars at the Masonic Hall, and while
there during the absence of parties con-
cerned, followed out a large and fine
cake, leaving nothing but the shell. 1t
is generally supposed he Intended to
make a bell to ring up his musical in
t~ellect, but upon the entrance of those
interested, proceedings stopped and the
bell is yet without a elapper, conse-
quently it has not been tried, to see
whether its tone is clear or not; at any
rate, the bell does not ring.
We also append the following letter
picked up on our streets a few days
since, which we herewith style
