 A genuine surprise was given to Conduc- tor Charles M. Lockwood, New Years morning, when he was presented with q handsome lantern, byJ. H. Husk, baggage master, who in behalf of himself Oliver Miller, fireman Travis Miller, Fred Am- bier and Frank Rockwell, brakemen, on the freight train, made the gift as slight token of their regard. Mir. Husk did not make very long speech, but it was suf1i- cient to knock all the Spanish out of Charlie However he feels exceedingly proud as this evidence of the good will of these friends and prizes the gift highly.

 Now here is sealed instrument, sign ed by the parties, containing their whole argument, and it is neither legal just, nor true, to add to, or take from that agree ment. It will be seen that Mr. Wells did not sell his business, or 'tgood will, :. as it is usually called, nor his right to mend boots and shoes ill Chapman's store, or to sell them, or i'll any way to get his living at his trade.
 This agreement was reduced to writing and signed by the parties after Mir. Wheeler had had full opportunity of ex- amining and knowing precisely what he had bought, and at his request, through Mr. Wells at the very time of the exe- cutting the agreement, offered to pay back the two thousand dollars already paid and give him fifty dollars besides. It seems idle to complain now. MT. Wells would be glad to-day to pay back all that has been paid him, if the same stock we I sold could be restored to him and pay a bonus of more than fifty dollars. It was no object to MT. Wells to sell out. He could, in short time, have realized from I the stock he sold, together with his labor, sum equal to that Mr. Wheeler paid him. brief statement will show this The location of the shop is by far the l best and most desirable in town. MT l Wells sales have been from nine to clever thousand dollars per year for the lasl five years. The profit on sales coupled | with labor, was not less than twenty three hundred dollars in any year, ano some years as high as thirty-one hundred I dollars. Two-thirds of the sales were te persons from neighboring towns. MT Wells claims to have told the. truth in re gard to his inventory, and every othel l matter stated to Mir. Wheeler. Jus tice" has not disproved it. and the con ] tract proves that Wells told the truth The contract was signed Sept. 11th, 1878 and it was not till Oct. 3rd, that MT ]. Wheeler. requested MT. Wells to add tt l the agreement that he would not go ints business again in town, which he yer, properly refused to do, but told him if h, was dissatisfied he would pay back wha he had paid him and a bonus of fifty dol ! lars besides.
