Yeas. First came Miller Chace, ut the
same time Gilchrist Il ScOtchman who
made oatmeal next came John Har-
vey, then lsreal Nelson came next :;
after me Mr.. Potter, then Hubbard
Bedell, afterwards Miller Gates and
sons. When went to the East Village

David Coe had a queer experience
while out fox hunting the other day.
His hound chased a fox up a cedar
tree, the fox climbing thirty feet into
the tree and hiding in thick cIump of
boughs. When Coe came up on the
track and found that it ended at the
foot of tree, he began to look around
for further traces of cunning Reynard,
not thinking that he had "gone up"
The hound made such a fuss barking
up the tree that COe finally shot four
charges into the tree, and then climb
ing brought the fox down.
The interest in the reading club in
creases every week. There was house

On Monday evening, the 9th, Miss
Maggie Farwell of New York gave a Sc
lect reading in the M. E. church. The
audience was small. Miss FarwelI has
good voice and some dramatic power.
Her best effort was in the story of
George Washington. Young ladies of
the choir furnished good music.
The week of prayer was observed by
holding union services, alternately be-
tween the NJ. E. church and the Congre-
gational vestry.
The good sleighing is being improved

In considering the question of State Fai,

should be borne in mind that the proposition
made by Minneapolis, or Bill King, to St
Paul was to abandon the State Fair alto
gether and unite in a union exposition r.,

Paul insisted on the recognition of the State
Society," The State Society had already an
nounced their fair at st. Paul, and the only
reason Bill King made any proposition was
with the hope that st. Paul would join in his
efforts to strangle the State Society. It
should be understood that st. Paul does not
propose to hold any fair, and has never pro-
posed to hold any. There is No
war between St. Paul and Mime
apolis on the fair question. Mime.

London Letter to New York Tribune1
Extraordinary, bearing in mind the gen.
eral tendency to economy, is the sale of Mr..
Stanley's ssEhroush the Dark Continent
That book it is true, is still in its first edition,
but what an edition! It consists of six
thousand copies. The whole of the six
thousand copies have been sold by the pub
fishers, Messrs. Sampson, Low & Co., and
second edition of one thousand is now
being subscribed" -that is, sent round
among the booksellers, each one of whom
puts down against his name the number of
copies he will take. All such copies are
taken "frm,' to use financial word. The
booksellers in this country, whatever they
may be elsewhere, are not agents of the pub
fishers, but do business Mt their own risk. IF
they can dispose of their purchases to the
public, well and good. If not, they must
bear the loss. Such sale as that of Mr..
Stanley's work is, believe, absolutely with
out precedent. The book was issued at two
guineas ($1O), price at which few publish
ers would venture on printing six thousand
copies, or half that number. But Messrs.
Sampson, Low & Co. showed both enter
prise and good Judgment in this case, as
tney dld IN Mr.. Eugene Sohuyler's "Iurkes-
tan, also two guinea book, and now in it's
fifth edition. I hear that they paid
