notwithstanding the low price of
corn, farmers are compelled to sell
more or less. and our buyers are stor-
ing away immense cribs of it, They
donot feel entirely safe in paying even
the low prices they do for corn, at pres
nt,and think they are running great
risk. It is the expressed opinion of
some Chicago merchants that corn
cannot be higher next summer in
that city than 80 to 35 cents. unless
something occurs to make a demand
for grain more than is now apparent.
+ There is now just possible chance
for great European war. but the
prospect is not deemed sufficiently
great to gamble largely upon.

We have never seen this question

Is of interest to tile whole country.
He says:
"Thare has not been a licensed sa-
loon In this county for over twenty
five ye,rs. During that time our Jail
has moi averaged an occupant. This
county never sent but one prisoner to
the Penitentiary, ard that man was
sent up for killing his wife, while
drunk, on whisky obtained from a IL
censed saloon in an adjoining county.
We have but very few paupers in our
poor house, sometimes only three or
four. Our taxes are 32 per cent lower
than they are in adjoining counties
where saoons are licensed. Our peo-
pie are prosperous. peaceable and So

The different terms of our Circuit

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1878-05-29

Once there was mule. He had pair of
timber legs with heels at the end of them.
Mule thought bis master did not give him
enough corn to eat. SO, one day, as the boss
was passing behind him, he lifted up his heels
and boosted kim to the other side of the barn.
This is what Mr.. Mule called strike. He
thought he could get all the corn he wanted
now.
Presently he wanted water. lie didn't get
it, though. lie wanted more corn. He
didn't get that. He went to bed that night
without his supper. Next day he didn't have
to work he didn't have to eat, either lie
didn't have any company. All he had to do
WAS to stand still and think. He couldn't
think why that master of his did not come
and feed him. The next day was the same,
and the next.
Before that mule got anything to eat again,
he had grown SO gaunt and gentle that he was
willing to keep his heels en- the ground. The
strike was ended.

at all, and closed his side If the debate with
the common remark It's all money given
to the aid Of the newspapers. Nobody reads
my advertisement or thinks Of it, or looks
after it, except your foreman and collector

failed to meet the eyes of parties with mer-

merchant 80 and set up supper for the two.
During the day of the first appearances of
his experiment, the merchant called at the
Register Office several times. He looked as
though he vas in trouble, appeared nervous,
looked over his shoulder like one who is pur-
sued by a terrible bore or persistent dun. FL
