OLD Seth p Ames, relative of Cakes
Ames, had but one thought as he APP
preached his 10th birthday. The thought
was to build boat, launch it upon Lake
Saginaw, near which he lived, and sail
by way of the great inland waters, the
st. Lawrence river and the ocean, to
the place of his birth, at New Bedford,
Mass. He was rich, but his children could
not prevail upon him to travel over
land; so he turned the little craft out
with his own hand, and last week had
the qualification of seeing her bob on
the ripples of the lake. Exposure dur
ing the launch gave him cold, the cold
ran into pneumonia, and old Seth died
his purpose unaccomplished.

that he does not know of any nation
whose trade prospects are so gloomy rs

in the volume of value. The balance
OF trade is so overwhelmingly against
Great Britain that he sees nothing ex-
cept ruin for home industries, whether
manufacturing or agriculture, if the

present state of things is allowed to
continue. The export trade from Liv-
erpool to the United States is SO small
that when the restrictions on the i'm
portation of United States cattle are
removed il is intended to make the out
ward voyages with water ballast only,
ship-owners being unwilling to scramble
for the little outward freight recently
carried as ballast at nominal rates.

YOUR LAST CHANCE.

The extraordinary advance in prices of
almost every kind of merchandise, fol-
lowing SO closely upon long period
when values have been depressed alb
normally, leads me to address you these
few lines.
Pig iron that We paid $500 per ton
for last year, is now scarce at $4,000 per
ton, an advance of over one hundred and
ninety per cent. Whether the present
prices for materials can be maintained or
not, is subject on which opinions may
differ; but no one expects in many years
to come, to see prices as low as they have
been. This one fact must be apparent
to you, that we can not pay present pri-
ces, without considerable advance on
our selling prices beyond what they now
are. l have not, and do not now propose
to raise my prices to the standard of
present prices of materials. Favorable
purchases made early in the season, per-
NIT me now offering you my goods lower
than shall be able to offer them if the
prices Of materials remain where they
now are.
Stoves were thought to be very low
last year with pig iron at SI7.0O per ton.
If l now offer stoves as low or lower with
pig iron at $4,000 per ton it must be a
favorable time to buy.

CATO.

Indignation at the result of election
returns is fast dying out.
Miss Katie McCulley of Marinette, is
paying visit to her friends and relatives
in this vicinity.
The teachers meeting of which notice
was given to be held at Grimm's last
Saturday, is postponed until Saturday
Nov. goth.
The village of Cato Falls has resumed
some OF its old time vigor lately. Most
OF the old houses in the suburbs have
been made to change positions within
the last month, and the new change has
given the village the appearance of an
old fence post standing on its head in a
new hole.
The proprietor of one of the Cato ho-
tells Is IN quandary about box of chew
ing tobacco which he received lately.
He has been advised by some experts
who sampled the article to send it back
as 1t isn't fit to use, others claim it is
good and juicy. His anxiety to furnish
the public with good brand of tobacco
causes the quandry.
