GREEN SrUFFs,-As yet very little
green truck has made its appearance in
market, as the Spring season has been
rather backward than otherwise. Kale
appears to be plenty, and brings twenty
cents per peck. Onions sell at five cents
per bunch, and lettuce at fifteen cents a
quarter OF peck. Radishes arc very
scarce, and readily bring ten cents the
bunch. This Is about all the green stufis
we have in market.

Didn't Want Them,

Some weeks ago Mr.. Clark, OF the Belle sued
Capt Jep. Vosburg for sl5, but the jury disa-
greed owing to the fact that three of We intelli.
gent jury were thrown out of shape, mentally
and morally, by the Squire's saying something
about "prepondcrancc Of evidence" which they
thought might mean some vile put up job by
Capt, Jep, So the trial was set for a rehcarinS
on Thursday last, when Mr.. Clark, having prob
ably decided that his case was deuced weak,
failed to put IN an appearance. The facts in the
case, which have hardly become known, may be
interesting considering that Capt V. is so well
known by every one who travels: When the cx-
cursion Of the Aurora Guards was planned a
contract was made with Clark by which, for $50,
the Belle was to carry the party to Starved Rock
and back, Mr.. Clark to send word TO NOsburg
whether the boat could come ap or not On ac-
count Of the rain and not hearing from Clark,
the pic mic was postponed, On the day the
Guards did come Clark was to receive $50 for
