MECHASIcsyILLE is certainly the
gayest village in this country. Now
it is a "Social I.evee and Art Dis
tribution" for which invitations are
out at the new Opera Hall, for Thurs
day evening, March 23d, 1876. The
proprietors of the Hall, it appears,
have purchased the ten paintings left
from Gilbert & Forgy's Art Distribu-
ton here-some of them among the
best on the catalogue. and including
Loeb Lomond, the first pTize-and
adding to them enough minor prizes
to make l2o in all, are selling just
that number of shares at 50 50 each.
As this entities couple to the social
privileges of the evening, including
supper, the chance to draw picture
is virtually "ihrawn in." The music
is by the Western Light Guard
QuadrilIe Band.

BUSINESS CnANGE.-The announce
ment that Joseph Mccoy of Stan
wood had purchased the harness and
sadllcry stock and business OF J. +.
Muzzy, made two weeks ago, was as
it appears, quite premature. Instead
of as then stated. Mr.. Muzzy has
more recently sold out to A. S. Day
toa & Son. The gentlemen com
posing the new firm are from Stirling,
ILL.,, where the senior has long been
engaged in merchandising, and the
junior has for several years been in
the same business they have pur-
chased here, aud where he has now
large stock of goods which he pro-
poses transferring to this place. This
will make their stock here very COM
plete and extensive. as indeed they
propose keeping it-offering very
large assortment of manufactured
goods, as well as all articles in the
line.
Both gentlemen will probably find
permanent residence here, and viii
be warmly welcomed both in business
and social circles.

The Council thus elected is OF
course favorable to licence, result
attributable to several causes. In
the first place, number of citizens
who have lived in the vicinity of the
out side "sap houses" have found
such vicinage an intolerable nuisance
which the rest of the town escaped;
and without changing their former
opposition to the traffic, have chang
ed their vote in order to procure, if
possible, a mere equitable division
of its benefits among their fellow cit
liens. Now, don't be hasty to con-
denim! There are very few Of us
who love to make martyrs OF our
selves pro bono pubkco. Then there
was cute electionecring dodge made
on the city scales, which there is no
doubt a large majority Of our citizens
sustain. Although not really nor
properly in the canvass at all, this is
sue alone probably gave capital
enough to change the result.
But leaving causes for their effect,
the fact is before us that the beer
Ncence ticket has been declared cleo
ted. And it IS also TACT mat the IN
dividuals composing that ticket are
good, responsible men, for whom any
OF as could have voted had it not
been for the one question at issue.
Under these circumstances, we will
doubtless accept the inevitable as
gracefully as may be and look to the
new council Ger full measure Of the
regulation" and control Of which
we have been hearing.

The Right Sort OF n Wife,

"Jennic June" writes to the Balti-
moro dmerican Thousands Of Ameri-
cans have spent tho few thousand dol
lars which stood between them and pov.
erty in n European trip, because wife
and daughters had not sufficient occupa.
tion to mako them feel the necessity OF
staying at home. We frequently hear it
said: "WLy, it is necessary to go
abroad; We can live cheaper there than
we can at home" Yes, II living on tho
results Of some other persons labor is
aIl that we have to do, but women who
hayo homes and husbands shoull do
something moro than this-they should
work in their homes, and add the value
of their labor to the raw material which
the earnings OF the man purchases.
One New York woman, not quite
spoiled, has worked this out for herself
very satisfactorily, and her example may
stimulate others. Some time ngo she
lived with hcr husband and two daugh.
ters-one grown, the other still at school
in n nice house, on good side street,
and kept two servants; not m extensive
establishment, but enough with her
small family to obviate the necessity for
much exertion on her part. Whom the
eldest daughter left school like allother
daughters who leave SCHOOL,, she wanted

upon by sympathizing friends, soon be.

the husband giving up tho house and
establishing himself il bachelor quar-
ters.
But the realization Of the dream wns
not SO pleasant as anticipated; or per.
haps the wife found that the husband
became reconciled to their absence too
early. At any rate, after six months oi
absence, she returned without being sent
for, 10 find her husband depressed by
business difficulties, his tenants gone
without having paid the rent, and much
OF the nice furniture ruined. Fortu'
nately, she belonged to good old stock,
who, when they sec their duty, do it.
She rescued what she could OF the furni-
ture, and transferred it to II pretty, but
yery unostentatious flat up town,
above the fifties, and with the furniture
out Of the way and reduced rental,
managed to secure good, regularly
paying tenant.
When the daughters proposed going
to the intelligence Office after "help,
shc said:
"No, my daughters; We willhelp each
other. and in that way help papa out OF
his difficulties.
So they organized their modern house

might very well hire all tho help they

Enemies Yet Friends.

While Pickett's division was before
Sewbern, Gen. Pickett received, by flag
Of truce, letter froma gentleman in Bos-
ton, accompanied by package Of money
containing 81, 900, in which the writer
stated that he had brother, Federal
officer, in the Libby prison ; that his
brother was q former comrade OF Pickett
in the Mexican war, and appealed to
him by the friendship Of their old days
to forward the money to his brother.
The appeal touched the heart OF the
soldier, and he at once dispatched an
orderly with the money to the officer.
The orderly, tempted by the unusual
sight Of so many greeubacks, deserted
to the lines and escaped with the booty.
As soon as Pickett heard OF the deser-
ton he Immediately went to Richmond,
and by mortgage upon his Turkey
island property succeeded in borrowing
s., 900, which he carried to the prisoner
withaa explanation Of andapology for the
delay. The officer, when he learned by
what means the general had raised the
money, declined to accept 81 900 OF it;
but Gen. Pickett compelled him to do
50. The two soldiers then talked over
the days OF the past, when together they
fought under the same flag, and as the
conversation ripened into friendly
confidence, the prisoner frankly told the
geuenl that his object WAS to escape, If
possible, and that he intended using
some Of the money he had paid him in
the effort. The general checked him at
once, by telling him that he could not
receive his confidence in such matter.
That the money was his own, and that
he had right to do with it as he pleased.
but it would be improper for him to be-
come party to his plans. he then left
The prisoner did escape. Gen. Pickett's
estate was sold to satisfy the mortgage
which he had executed.
