The County Commissioners are now in session
at the Cout house. They find the workshop has
been more successful than was anticipated. With
in a month one hundred cases of mems and boys
boots have been sold TO traders within the State.
The Commissioners have had to overcome the
prejudice that existed against prison made goods
until now the product of the shop is eagerly sought
for and gives the most perfect satisfaction.
Twenty-Five prisoners are kept steadily at work.
Instead of the concern running the county in debt,
it is hoped that little surplus may be left after
paying the expenses of stock and running the con-
Germ.

Yesterday afternoon q lady on Gage street left
open the oven door of her cooking stove, when
the cat jumped in, evidently to warm herself.
Accidently the door was shut. A fire was started
for supper, with no knowledge, however that
pussy cat was prisoned in the oven. The lady of
the house prepared her batch of bread, and
opened the oven door to put it in, when there
the cat all baked and ready to be served for tea.

Probable Advance.

The Post says if there are other reasons it is
believed that the war news from Europe will be
sufficient TO induce the Trunk Line railroads to
advance rates. We understand cattle rates have
already advanced. For long time roads taking
grain to and from Chicago have been oppressed
with bus ness, their utmost facilities having been
fully employed. We hear that higher rates than
the roads have been charging have been offered
by shippers provided their stuff could be moved
promptly. With this condition of things it looks
as if the railroad would settle itself, at least
that whstever difference between rival managers
may remain they will be forced from the condi-
