The market generally was quite heavy
this week. There was toerably fair
demand for good neat butcher cattle, but
it could not be called, by any means, an
active demand Other grades were ex-
ceedingly dull, but prices for all kinds
were oil ImIc, before the close of the
market top cattle possibly suffering, as
usual, the least. The quality WAS no i'm
provement on that of last weeks Offer
ings; there were scarcely any more of the
tops, while the middles were scarce and
the common grades rs numerous as then.

REMARKS.
The light run of last week, rs well as
the comparatively short supply this week,
has advanced prices !@3c since our last
weeks report. The market, as might &c
expected, has not been active at the inn
proyement, butchers being very 10th to
give the advance, so that operations were
effected very slowly, and but few were
made ut the extreme top limit. The
quality will compare fayorably with that
of last week. Transactions will not be
very lively during the next week, but
prices, it is thought, will be fully main
taincd.

REMARKS.
The sheep market this week may be
considered n little more active and n
shade higher. There is Il slight improve
mcnt in the demand for fairly good sheep,
but dealers very unwillingIy give the
prices demanded for choice Christmas
sheep, which are now Offering, and trans
actions in them are very slowly effected,
and to a very limited extent.
Quotations-4@j!c, and few fancy

How McGinnis Won.

A man whom | will call McGinnis, saws
Max Adeler,representsa county in the State
Senate OF Pennsylvania. He is Republi-
can and he was elected by a large MAORI
ty, although his county hitherto has always
gone Democratic. Everybody was amazed
to find that it had elected Republican
candidate, and nobody could understand
the reason for it, When McGinnis came
to Harrisburg, l happened to meet him,
and | asked him how it was He said
"Now, don't mind telin' you how
worked that thing, but don't want you
to give me away on it. It's secret. When
| was nominated, | saw at once that had
no chance of gettin' elected if the thing
was run on square basis. Douney, my
opponent, was Democrat an church
member, an I'd jest laid low an done
nothin', he'd 'av skeeted into the Senate
like snow slide into a valley. You know
that when people can't possibly get
thing, that's the very thing they want
wuss than anything on this yer earth.-
Now, you can't build a railroad in my
county anyhow you fix it. Theirs nothin'
up Their but hills an mountains, an you
might as well try to bore hole through
the Alleghanies with bar of soap as to
construct railroad over them hills, con-
sequently, the people is jes wild to have
railroad in the county, because it's impos-
sible Well, sir, jes before election hired
a gang of bout eight hundred men, an
bought lot Of chains and spy glasses, an
them instruments that surveyors use, an
putty soon had a lot Of fellcrs layin' out
line of railroad through every garden,
an back yard, an pertater patch in the
county. When a gang would bust through
fence an git to work, the farmer'd come
runnin' out an hollcrin' "What in the
thunder are you fellers doin p an the
men they'd say: "What are we dom?
Why, we're layin' out the line ofold Nc
Ginnis' railroad. Haven you heard about
it2' Then the farmer'd go in an say to
his wife: maria, Pm Democrat, but
I'm gon' to vote for old McGinnis. Why,
gosh he's buildin' u railroad right through
our garden. Wen be worth million
when it's DONE" That's how the old thing
worked. When the election came l scoop
ed the Senatorship by bout fifteen hun
dred majority, an here I am. Smart,
wasn't it?
The virtue of this is, that it is true
story.

blow, never movin muscle, beat all the
plays that ever was. l said nothin' for a

the deck and says to him
u won't touch u hair of your head. nv

taking in cargo, and had pretty nigh got
it all aboard, when one afternoon, / took
n thought 0he weather being murderin'
hot) that l might as well have a bathe :;
and so | did-as jolly one as ever had
yet. was just thinking, after padding
about for quarter of an hour or so, that
1t was about time to be coming out-when
all to once, atwixt me and the ship, up rose
great black, pointed thing, that know
ed directly for the back fin of shark
warn't 'zactly frightened-there amt
time for that in stitch scrapes, all the fright
comes after it's over-I just felt my breath
go for minute, us if somebody had hit me
in the wind; and then found myself won
derin' how the shark 'ud ketch hold O, me
-lengthwayso or sideways or with my head
right into his mouth. | saw him lurcb
round in the water, ready for rush, with
all his big teeth grinning-and then sud
denly there was splash and bubbling,
and up rose the shark almost upright in
the water, wrigglin' like u speared eel, aud.
the clear water round him turned all dark
with blood; and then something gripped me
by the shoulder, and heard Spiro's voice
saying quite coolly, "All right, capitano-he
no hurt you now" The Teller had act
lilly dived under the shark, and cut q cash
in him as big as the mouth of a letter box
with the very same knife he'd been a.
goin' to kill me with.
The shark wasn't quite dead, but he was
too hard hit to 60 far and after they
picked us up, they settled him and hauled
him aboard; and I've got bit of his back
bone now, made into a walking. stick.
Well, after that, Spiro and me was the
greatest chums goin' ; and when the poor
Teller died o'fever, bout year after, l was
as sorry as ifit had been my own brother.
Just after he died, he gave me the knife;
and this is it hangin' round my neck now.
So you see, let Teller be as black as the
mouth of the funnel, there may be good in
him yet. And now, let's go up and see what
kind o. night it is, afore we turn in.

very injurious to peach trees, and last,

SHEEP EATING THEIR WooI..-Instanccs
OF sheep eating their own wool are quite
common, especially during the latter part
OF the winter and early in the spring.
Some have thought the habit resulted
from the presence of small parasites, as
minute as the RED spider of some Towering
plants, which produced an irritation, and
to allay this the sheep acquired the habit
of biting its own skin, and thereby eating
its own wool. 1t is generally believed
that the habit is analogous to that of hens
eating their egg-shells, and the abnormal
appetite of COWS for old bones, wooden
rags, &c. and is caused by an exhaustion
OF the phosphate in the soil. Old pas
lures and fields that have long been crop
ped are deficient in these elements, hence
the absence of them in feed, and conse-
quent want of them by animals. AS
preventive, mix small quantity of bone
meal with corn meal, and give them an
occasional feed. Sulphur, also, has been
found to be preventive of the habit, and
many farmers keep their stock constantly
supplied with it. 1t no doubt assists in
giving healthy tone to the system. Maine
