AUCTION SALE OF LoTs AND
LAND.-Pursuant to an ADVERTISE
ment which appeared for several
weeks in the TINES, Mr.. Thomas
Mitchell, Of Lexington Kentucky,
on W ednesday last, at ten o'clock
in the forenoon, in front Of the post
office, offered for sale at public auc-
ton the property Of So muel Clay,
Jr., in this place, Mr.. Mitchell be-
ing the assignee of Clay. Before
opening the sale Mr.. Mitchell stated
that the terms werescash on delivery
of quit claim deed; that Mr.. Clay's
title was good, he having purchased
the property over twenty years ago
at a cost Of over $4,000, cash, and
paid taxes on it ever since. The
assignee further stated to the crowd
that since his arrival here he had re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. William
Tarr of Kentucky, asking him to
bid on the property for him (Tarr)
and that, therefore, any bids he
would make would be for Mr.. Tarr.
The poorest lots were sold first and
were bid in for Mr.. Tarr without op-
position. For the lots on West
Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Water Streets, and a Diagram lot,
the opposition of bidders was quite
spirited, but in every case Mr..
Tarr carried off the prize. AS il
will interest many Of our readers to
know just what Superior lots will
bring under the hammer we subjoin
a list Of the lots with the prices OBJ

TEMPTATIoN.-We have great
deal to say to our young friends
about temptation, because IN youth
persons susceptibilities are great
er than at any other time. There
is much to be said besides telling q
person what he should avoid, or ad-
monishing him to shun this or that.
The best way to avoid a thing is
20 cultivate something antagonistic
to it; in fact, if one does not do
this, his chances ofsuccessfully car
rying out his resolves are only half
what they might be. If a person
can acquire relish for GOOD. whole
some, improving society, he will be
in less danger than if he simply
summed bad company, and the same
may be said of a good many other
things. Among the greatest pro-
tective agencies is a taste for read
ing. One seldom sees a person of
such tastes in the ranks of the fast
young men who are getting in their
crop of wild oats. There is nothing
much cheaper than such a taste; it
is wonderful how cheap are all kinds
of culture compared with the diff
ferent sorts of dissipation. A
young man who has his business to
study and whose livelihood and
hope of advancement in the world
depend altogether on his own ex-
ertions, will have brief time to de-
vote to other things, but such time
may be well filled up, and by culti-
vating taste for that which is
improving and eleva ing in what
ever department it may be, any in
clination in an opposite direction
is effectually destroyed.

age Of cheese from Gardeners
Cheese Factory, recently started at
Audubon, Minn. The article is as
good as any we ever tasted-in fact
az to taste, flavor, color and consis-
tency it seems to be perfect cheese.
The factory is located three miles
north Of Audubon, on the bank of u
small lake, with stream of pure
cold water from large spring
near by running through it. The
country thereabouts is dry and
rolling, the water pure, the pasturage
unexcelled and all the conditions
are most favorable fer a first class
article Of cheese. Three thousand
pounds of milk are daily delivered
by twenty-five patrons. The fac
tory is in charge ST r. J. Andrews,
who ran the factory at North
Branch for two years, the product
of which sold higher in St. Paul and
Minneapolis than that of any other
factory in the State. Mr.. Gardner
informs Us that he will sell cheaper
than St. Paul. TIE manufacture OF
cheese is new industry in this up.

Are you gaining knowledge every

The property, not including the

make about 900 ordinary Superior
lots, and was so advertised, i is
known as an ordinary eighth of a

all paid, and no reason can be given
for the nominal prices obtained, ex-
