TIE Cincinnati Gazette notices, by u
comparison OF the Christmas advertise
mens in its exchanges, some curious
facts. 1t finds that in New York, for
example, books occupy little space, while
the commentators Of dress goods, Orna-
ments, &c, spread over whole columns.
In Boston the reverse is true. Books are
much tho most largely advertised arti-
Giles supposed to be suitable for presents.
In Philadelphia and Cincinnati there is
"a more equal division between clothing
for the body and food for the mind, the
former still prepOnderating, however.
Dainties for the Christmas dinner are
much more conspicuous than in New
York or Boston.

In the bark with a Wolf.

The Fishkil Journal tells the follow
ing ON the authority of a Delaware
county gentleman of undoubted veracity:
ga number of years ago wolves were
quite thick in the town of Chichester,
Delaware county, N. Y. Sandy Lown,
on n occasion, tracked two wolves into
a sort of cavern in the rocks. Unlike
Gen. Putnam. who had a companion 10 as
sist himlowering him into the den, Sandy
was all alone. Nothing daunted, he pro-
cured a light, crawled into the den, and
with his trusty rifle shot one of the
wolves, his aim being guided by the
glazing eyeballs of the savage beast, ap-
pearing like two balls of fire as they re-
fected the rays of the light. But, hor-
rible..to relate, just as Sandy discharged
his piece, his light went out, and he was
left in darkness with one live wolf in
the den. However, he CROPPED his way
out, procured another light, went back
and shot the other wolf. He brought
both their carcasses out, and exhibited
their heads as trophies, obtaining the
reward allowed by the town.

A Little Game of "Draw.Y

1t was a pleasant and right sociable
little party that sat around a little pine
table, in the rear of a @ street grocery,
night before last. There were five men
in the party. and they sat on candle
boxes, end up. A candle illuminated
the board, enabling the reporter (who
had dropped in to get a pound of sugar.
to see that each man had a number of
white beans in front of him. They
were playing cards, and kept pushing
from one to the other a big jack=knife,
which they called "the buck" proba-
bly, from the fact that it had a buckhorp
handle, maybe, perhaps. One man
seemed to be doing most of the talking.
His name was Sam Griggles. He talked
like a philosopher, and the reporter sat
down on a beer keg and listened to him.
GRIGGLEs ON wEDLooK.
ct tell you there's nc Use talking.
The best thing a man can do is to git
married. Gimme three and bet you five
beans. Bein' single has its advantages.
See it and raise you six. But the COM
fort a man takes in havin' O wife and a
home of his own cannot be told. Raise
me ten, eh2 See it an call. Dammit,
you've got the pot agin'. Jim, put a BIT
of ice In mine an a dash O bitters.
Yes, boys, a wife's a good thingl you
bet your bottom dollar. Whew! Ten
to come inl All right, Jim ; straddle
your blind. Now when a nan gets
through his days work an feels tired
an worn out, what's nicer'n to go home
an find a good 1itfle wife vaitin' fur yor
ready to throw her arms round yer necl
an'-Oh Lord |"
wEDLoCK ON GRIGGLES.
A hush fell upon the orner grocery a
she walked in with a shawl over her heat
and brought him one on the side of tn
head that sent his cards flying and upse
his cocktail. Neither of them spoke
word, but he looked as if he had los
one foot of his six as he followed he
out. Even the subdued smoker behint
him couldn't make him look meaner.-

FINANCE AND TRADE.
weekly Review OF the Chicago Mark

weekly Review OF the Chicago Market.
FINANCIAL.
The money market was quiet, orders being
less numerous, and the general trade of the
merchandise markets less active. Money is
plenty at 6@10 per cent, according to time
and the class Of security offered. Government
bonds firm and in fair demand.
BREADsTUFFS.
The grain markets have been quite active
during the past week, but at the same time a
very unsettled feeling prevailed, and values
were irregular and subject to both frequent
and quite severe fluctuations. At times prices
for wheat were higher and also lower, but
the closing quotations for futures do not show
any change as compared with the opening,
although the premium for cash wheat has been
lost. The corn market was active, but unsettled,
although averaging, and closing 2@3c higher.
Demand mainly On speculative account. Oats
were rather quiet, but very firm throughout,
and higher. The receipts Of all kinds of grain
were lighter, and fair shipments were reported.
New York and Liverpool advices we're rather
favorable for corn and oats, but not encourag-
ing on wheat. Rye and barley steady, and
without any important change for the weeks
average. The markets all closed quite firm.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and at the close of the past
week

An Innocent Man Hung.

There is a very painful suspicion,
growing every day more and more into
certainty, that the people of Bellefon-
tame, Ohio, hanged the wrong person
the other day for the murder of Miss
Laughlin. The facts, as they come out,
coincide with the dying declaration of
Schell that his wife was the murderer
that she was jealous of the girl; and, after
enticing her into a lonely place, MUIR
dered her. They further go to show
that, while Schell was undoubtedly q
brute, his wife was a fend, whose con-
fession caused the hanging of her hus-
band. With regard to these facts, the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
"The most startling bit of evidence
against Malinda Schel came out in the
morning. 1t had been overlooked in the
excitement of the lynch. In the hand of
the dead girl, tightly clenched, has been
found some threads of hair. In her
death-struggle with the enemy, she had
torn these from the roots, and held them
like a wise. The hair was fine, dark and
straight. They were supposed at first
to be from Schell'shead, but, on examine
ton under the microscope, they appeared
darker and coarser, for his own hair was
uncommonly fine, and what settled the
matter as to Schell, the hair rangedfrom
10 to IA inches in length, and no hair in
his head measured half that. We're they
Alice's2 No /; her hair was a dark au-
burn, and finer in texture. Whose then2
They belonged to Malinda. In length,
color and texture, they were an exact
counterpart of this woman's locks. In
order to shield herself, while her hus.
band was in Jail, and public opinion was
ready TO silence him forever, she had
evidently manufactured the greater part,
if not all, of that horribly strange story
