John II. Won DOhlen, a German grocer
at Washington and West Eleventh streets,
New York, changed a $40 note for a
strang on Friday, and, in doing SO, dis

and said thoy had made a bet rs to whose
hat would hold the most molasscs.
Dots holdings to me," said Dohlen.
Il know holdings about such pisnesses. "
But the young men were not to be put
off. They said they would pay for the
molasses. The grocer grumbled about
vooishncsses as he took the hat they
wanted him to fill, and went to the rear of
the store. AS he returned with it to the
man who held out his hands for it he
stepped between the two. The ono who
took the hat said
Well, how much does it hold ?"
Before the astOnished grocer could an
swer he was seized from behind, and at
the same moment the hatful of molasses
was clappod Oh his head and pulled down
over his eyes. Blinded aud bewildered he
could make 10 resistance while his money
was taken from him, and when he got the
hat off and ran out on the sidewalk drip
ping molasses, his despoilers were gone.
He lost $274 and the molasses.

THE " DEVILS AUCTION"
lhe Large Audience at Its Product

Ihs Large Audience at Its Production.
On Saturday night the spectacular piece
| entitled "The Devils Auction" which is
! said to have been written by Charles IL.
Yale, comedian, and James Mafiit, the Old
| pantomime clown, was produced at the
| opera house before a tremendous audience.
Long before o'clock the house was full,
and by half past eight standing room was
scarce. The gallery will seat about $50
people yet over 600 saw the show from
that eminence. Messrs Gallagher & Gil
more, prOprietOrs Of the Grand Central,
| Philadelphia, are the managers of this
| show. They sent the party out on q
venture and the play has been so success
full that it will be kept on the road. The
piece is a very poor imitation of tho
"Black Crook and there is little in it,
A great deal is pantOmime and the acting
of Maffit and Bartholomew was very good
They introduce q number of now tricks
and specialties. A ballet was seen at
different times in the evening, and,
although there was but dozen
women in it, they gave satisfaction
as their dancing was very good,
and they were attractive in appearance.
Mile Elise led the party and her toe dane
ing was excellent. Of the speciality ar
fists the Ronaldcs were the best. Their
grotesque acting was received with
thunders of applause. They are a Won
deriul trio and have been seen here
before. Ashley and Hess gave an exhibi-
tion of roller skating and deserved their
warm reception. Their introduction of
the Jumbo policemen was real novelty.
The La Verde Sisters appeared in songs
and dances and their act was entirely
new. Their songs were fresh, but the
orchestra was so very bad that it was
impossible for them to render them we'll.
One Of tho pair suffered from severe
cold, which interfered greatly with their
act.
During the presentation of the piece a
party who We're stationed on the gallery
persisted in Kissing, and although there
| was some poor acting it was in bad taste
and the offenders deserved to be thrown
| out. AS it was the officers were unable to
control the gallery audience on account of
| its size. On a whole the production of
the piece was success and the party will
certainly draw money anywhere they ap-
special train at 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and will at once make for tho West.

Local Tobacco Market.
The damp, foggy weather which has
lately prevailed gave tho tobacco growers
fine opportunity to take their tobacco
from the poles and prepare it for strip
ping, and most of the growers now have
their crops in presentable condition for
examination by the dealers. The increas
| ing activity in the New York market, and
the now very generally entertained belief
that Congress will fritter away the few
remaining weeks of the season, without
| doing anything that will greatly effect
| the tobacco market, either for good or i'll,
| has given heart to dealers, and they now
manifest better disposition to buy them
| at any time previous during the season.
Quite number of them from abroad are
now quartered in Lancaster, and make
almost daily trips to the country in search
| Of bargains. They say they are not buy
| ing much, and are very reticent in making
known the prices at which they purchase.
A number of sales, however, are re
ported, the prices ranging from ID cents
to % cents for wrappers, G to 10 for sec
onds and to for filters. At few of
the warehouses in the city there were
some deliveries during the past week, but
the quantities were small, and the few
dozens of wagons on which the leaf were
brought to town were in striking contrast
with the long trains that struggled for
pre- cedence in unloading last year and year

Thanksgiying-Day.


There is no civilized nation without
its festal days, but the institution of
Thanksgiving is peculiar to our
own country 1t originated with the
'fSthens of New England, after tfeyahad
passed through protracted period of
danger and priNation, as au1mark of
gratitude for the abundant harvest
which had crowned their labors. But
| though a puritan festival of marked re-
ligious characters Thanksgiving is no
idle ceremony. The rich and iocund
autumn has Brought harvest OF sub
stantial joys. We have had sun and
rain in their season, and the granaries
of the, land overflow with the products
of the field, the orchard and the vine.
War has not rayaged US, famine has
not scourged us, pestilence has not des-
troyed us; but on every hand are evil
dences OF increasing greatness and
prosperity. 1t is time for grateful
kthanks-offering and for demonstrative
joys.
1t is a. day of social eand convivial
joy as well asfof worship. Happy re-
unions, long-looked for family gather
ings take place, The old homestead is
thronged with long absent brothers,
sisters, children and childrens' chill
dren. anil the ancient reoftree rings
with shouts of gladness as.the ineath-
ering proceeds! Budding childhood
greets decrepid age, and gay and gal
liant youths pay cousinly salutes to
blushing damsels! And SO the loving
tendrils cluster once more around the
parent vine within their native shelter!
The Heightened board 6feaks- aud
smokes, with the choicest viands of the
season: Fat turkeys and princely PIGS;
spring chickens and prodigious oyster
pies, and formidable rows of covered
dishes whose conteats are provokinely
! concealed! Q The, ,chldrep, are on tiptoe
with delight and expectation. long
cherished dreams ofplum puddings and
mince and pumpkin pies, an inEinitlinl,
are to be quickly realized. And so,
amid the rich savors of plump. roast
fowls and feekings hauhehes,z Good
Cheer rubs his hands. and smaeks, his
lips and loosens bis waist band, and
from over all the land, in mansion and
in cot, from city to plain, sends forth a

and settles down to season of ptire

tinkle of Kriss Kringle's bells, and the
joyous echo of another ''Happy New
Year" ;" Gladness and good-fellowship
are met together. The welkin rings

from under scarlet kistles. Everywhere
