SHARP.-We heard Of nice little
bit of financiering being done in this
city this week by young man who
has just started out in life. He has
bought farm near Peoria, but still
owes u nice little sum upon it, and o.
course wants to make every cent he can
He owed q small debt to an old farmel
in that part Of the country who agreed
to take wheat at rs cents per bushel IL
payment after harvest. The time rolled
around, and the young man, who nc
doubt wishes to gain a reputation fol
business capacity and fair dealing
thought he would save money by pay
ing off his debt in greenbacks, whlct
was accordingly done. He seemed tt
understand very well about the tel
cents difference in the price of gold ant
greenbacks, but didn't think it made
any difference if wheat had fallen tt
Sc cents. Query-Which was it tina
got greenbacked? p?
ST. CHARLES HoTEL.-Within thu
last week the proprietorship OF thi
popular hotel has changed, Mr.. N. ;
Dubois having sold out to Messrs
Mathews & Morrison, Of Portland. Th
new proprieto1s are both gentlemen 0
considerable reputation and have hH
a good deal of hotel experience, botl
on this Coast and in the East. The,
expect to run first class hotel, on
that will be acredit to our city, an
second to none in the State in the wa.
: of comfortable lodgings and well-se
, tables. We hope they may succeed il
bringing it up to that standard, an
l when they do so it will bountifully re
munerate them for their trouble.
