Taking IL Out in Trade.

A day or two since blackberry mer-
chant from the south side of the river
brought in about two gallons of berries
for sale. One of our physicians asked
the man to set a price on his berries,
which he did at 25 cents per gallon,
cash, or 80 cents in trade, supposing the
doctor to be a merchant. The Doctor,
who loves a joke as well as any body,
told the fellow he would take the ber-
ries and pay him in trade. He invited
him to 90 with him to the doctor-shop,
whore he cut off three or four huge blue
mass pills and with them handed his
bill, as follows:
To medicine.
To prescription. .soe

The fellow eyed the Doctor as though
he thought somebody was crazy, and he
seemed uncertain who it was. While
he was reading the bill the Doctor re
marked, stake one of these pills now,
another before supper, and the other
just before going to bed, wash them
down with castor oil, and if they DOM

"No, sir; I'll be - if do. You may

GENERAL.

The situation along the Rio Grande is re-
garded by our Government as becoming
very serious. 1t is understood, from relia-
BILE sources, that a Mexican force is being
organized for the purpose of repelling raids
across the river by United States troops,
and as Gen. Ord's instructions to follow up
all cattle thieves TO their hiding places on
the other side of the river have not been
countermanded, it is not unlikely that col
lision may occur before many days.
Mr.. Manton Marble, the confidential
friend and adviser of Mr.. Tilden during the
Presidential campaign, has published a let

OF Representatives should stand firm in its
constitutional right to share in the count of
the vote, no State to be counted except by
the concurrence of both houses, and each
State lacking the concurrence of the two
houses to be thrown out; in the event of a
failure OF either candidate to secure a ma

Wallingford, Connecticut, was struck by
tornado or cyclone about O'Clock on the
evening of the 9th, which, although brief in
duration, was terrible in its effects. Forty
dwelling houses were instantly demolished,
burying their inmates in the ruins, and a
large number of barns and other structures
were also leveled TO the ground or carried
off by the force of the tornado. From 20 to
30 lives were lost by the disaster and as
many more persons were injured. The
rayages of the tornado were confined
to a district of two miles in length and
about quarter of mile in width

Plains, north of the railroad station. The
tract was covered with small wooden
houses, every one of which was swept away

also unroofed, and the Catholic Church, s

A CARD FROM ROVER.

A strange case, that of Rover's 1t seems
to us that surrounded as it is by cloud of
doubt lit being very far from settled con-
viction with US that Rover is guilty., the Par
doning Board ought to take the matter into
very serious consideration. 1t seems to us
that the prison and not the scafold is the
place for him. The former may solve the
problem to his acquittal. The latter may
send an innocent man to his grave. In the
Reno Gazette of Monday we find the following
communication in answer to cruel attack on
this most unfortunate of men:
Evening Gazette: Article in yesterdays
Journal puts me in mind of neighbor kiles
ass in California, and hearing him bray one
early morn for his provender and was not par
ticular who brought it to him, so he got it.
But that ass was particular about the quality
and quantity, and did not care to have any
other justice counted upon him. 1t is some
times the cas-, that an ass will bray when he
has the stomach and may have been the
case with this one His stomach got over
loaded with shorts, and such being the case
he is liable to burst out y. .vh a bray.

A PET sKUNK.-The Ward Reflex makes
known strange case of animal magnetism in
the following:
At the cabin on John OMeara' claim south
of Ward, a skunk has taken up quarters next
to the chimney, under the earth and stone
that has been thrown up against it. He will
take anything that is passed through a crack
between the logs, and has even ventured in
side the house. Tat kind of familiarity did
not exactly suit the boys, so when he returned
to his hole i'll the wall, care was taken to re-
duce the size of the aperture, and he is now
kept at safe distance, so long as no one dis
turbs him. He is always on hand for his reg
ular rations, and takes them through the
crack. John is thrs .ened with skunk din
ner the next time IL goes over.
