SATTHDAY- Nov ID Il


A general review of the weeks business shows rro
improvement in trade. On the Produce Exchange
there has been rally in the price of wheat from the
lowest quotations. but with the quantity in store at
this port, about S.SO0000 bushels against 172OOOO
year ago. and 100000 bushels afloat on the way
from lake ports. it is doubtful if the rally is
due to anything but speculative causes Corn shows
an advance after several fluctuations of about
cent per bushel over last Saturdays quotations the
quantity in store being about 1900 900 bushels Oats
End other grains are without material change. the
demand having been principally confined TO the re-
Iuirements for actual consumption In provisions
the market has been generally dull and unsettled
any real change in prices having been in the favor
of BUYERS In tobacco the market has haen
inactive and barely steady The stock Oh
hand is large. The cotton market has
experienced the usual fluctuations attendant upon
an article of speculation, but in its final close for
the week shows a slight concession from the open
jng prices in West India goods coffee and rice have
remained steady very small business, while mo-
1sses and sugars lower and slow of sale. in dry
,0Ods the business has been mainly confined TO a
sortiDg-up kind of trade, without any change in
yic.s favorng the buyer. United States

A Model Editor.

Two or three years ago was attached
to the Morning Argus, the only paper
published in our village, and during
my engagement we employed as an as
siStant editor il young man named
Drinker. When Drinker began his du-
ties the manager said to him Z:
''See here. Drinker, among other
things. | want you. whenever you see,
in the exchanges or anywhere, good
biographical sketch OF any prominent
man, to clip it out and put it away, so
when he dies. YOU understand, we can
rush it out us an obituary article, as 1t
were"
Drinkcr went to work, and about
two months afterwards some we'll
known man died, and | examined the
obituary bureau for the purpose of OBJ
tanning his history. 1t was not there
but | discovered that the assiduous
Drinker had stored away in that mortu-
AIRY receptacle one biographical sketch
of John Wesley, collection of anec-
| dotes about General Putnam, and all
essay upon The Life and Services of
John Hancock"
| commmed with Drinker upon the
subject:
''Mr. Drinker." | said. after calling
| his attention TO the article about father
of Methodism. ''you certainly must be
aware that John Wesley died long be
| fore you came into this office"
..N-n-no ~ exclaimed Drinker, with
| IA look of panied surprise upon his face.
"Wh- -wl-what John Wesley dead |!
that great and good man gone Thun
der Why its too bad. No, hadn't
heard word about it. | had no idea
of such thing. What shock it must
have been to his family "
And as for General Putnam. Drinker,
it Is perfectly absurd for you to pretend
that you thought he was alive, YOU
know. Come now. that's tor much"
rs he dead too Well The fact
is I've been living down i'll the country
for two or three years. and | haven't
kept the run of things. And so old
Putnam'> dead That noble old man.
Strange. strange. how we are passing
away ',
And Drinker. you certainly can't he
such an idiot as to have put away this
article about Hancock with the eXpecta
tion that he would die again. You
know he did die once. Why. Drinker,
he died about ten thousand years ago.
Come now - exclaimed Drinker. ex-
ultingly. 1--WE got YOU there. All, ah
Died ten thousand years ago, did he,
Smalty lou know too much. 1ou
think every body'> fool but yourself
Dead. is he Now what's the use OF
your TRYING to stuff that down me. when
know we'll enough that the Democrats
talked about running Hancock for the
presidency at the last election O,

newspaper that's got any sense.
Then Drinker was discharged.

go down to the grave with the firm cou-
victiou that General Hancock is the man
who set the copy for the miserable pen

A Plucky Pauper.

In midWinter. some forty seven or
forty weight years ago. a man by the
name of LoomiS. living in Pawlet. VT,
died after IA long sickness. leaving a
wife and two children. Expenses of
sickness and loss of the wages for daily
labor made inroad> upon the ~scanty
stock of money and provisions. so much
so that the widow was compelled to ask
assistance from the town.
The high official refused her request,
took her little all and threw her and
the children upon said town as paupers.
In those days they were bid of by the
citizens of said town to the lowest bid
der. but they now have a town house.
Mrs. Loomis. with a broken heart and
worn ont 10y attending to her husband
during his long sickness. gave up the
long cherished wish of being a respect
able woman. and remarked that the
town of Pawlet should not want for
pauper foI fifty Years. During the pc
riod of the last forty-seven years she
has made good her word. She is now
ninety->cVen or ninety-eight years of
age. and on her last birthday made her
annual visit from the town house to
PaWlct. Il distance of one and a half
miles. on foot. to visit her old friends
and neighborS. and she laughingly re-
marks she will make good her word,
having to live only two years more to do
it. Her children became respectable
housekcepcrs. and oftentimes offered
her good home. but she utterly refused
to accept of their assistance. She had
many offers of marriage, but refused
them all. saying that she would not swap
off the town of Pawlct for any man liv-
ing. On making the remark that the
town of Pawlet would not he without
pauper for fifty years, she said she be
longed to a family who never died short
of 100 years and the maioaity lived
wears bcvond that.
