The Wishes of Three Women.

IE1Op0 the 6QClu80c1O &n20UosI 4AVAAoosooOsJ
A rather odd circumstance happened
recently. Mrs. A. and her daughter, Of
Pynchon Street, called upon her rela-
tive, Mrs. B., of Central Street, to
spend the day and evening. On their
wav thither they remarked how pleasant
it would be if Mrs. BIS daughter, Mrs.
G., Of Hartford, could only be there,
too. This remark was repeated
to Mrs. B. upon their arrival
vt her house, and she said that she
thought of the same thing. Then one
of the three recalled the old proverb
that the combined wishes OF three
women can bring any person from any
place, and the reply was made that IT
wishing would accomplish anything
Mrs. G. would surely come. Mrs. B.
prepared strawberry short-cake, for
tes. saying that her Hartford daughter,
Mrs. c., was fond of it, and that she
was gong to lay a plate. for her at the
table, just az though she were there.
AS they were sitting down b tea the
door-beii rang, and in came the much
wished for Mrs. c., greatly to their sur
plise. When asked how she happened
to come, she replied that she had no idea
Of coming till that day, and that she
decided to 60 because she had been
.stormented with the impression that
somebody wanted to see her." SO, act
ing wholly on impulse, she started of
a. she was, without stopping to
sspripk." ;" and took the cars. She is not
accustomed to come to Springfield often,
not having been here before for about
q wear, fact which makes the circum-
stance all the stranger. It would cer-
tainly seem as though by means of some
occultmental telegraphy the wish 90 ter.
vently felt and expressed in Springfield
reached and impressed itself upon the
womsn's mind in Hartford.

The Price OF Corn.

The low price of corn this fall is fa
from satisfactory to our farmers, ruling
Az 1t does several cents below the pric'
of last year, with no material ch ang'
in the product at large. "Will Their,
be an advance" Is the anxious ques
ton; g. or shall we SELL The follow
ing extract from Western letter OF
the grain market may present some
idea of the condition and prospect of thu
market:
The movement of corn throug hout
the entire country has been small dur.
ing the week, and the receipts at the
principal interior trading points have
been light. There are indications now
Of a better movement in the principal
corn States, and while the weather is
not very cold, 1t is frosty enough TO be
favorable for getting the new corn in
condition to ship. Hence, an increase
in receipts, especially at the lake mar
kets is anticipated, especially as the ad-
vanced prices will induce farmers to
market more freely.
/" The visible supply of corn in the
United States has decreased 315, 900
bushels since last weeks report. The
corn MARKETS of the W,st and North
west have been excited, stronger and
higher during the week, with an almost
steady upward tendency in prices.
"This state of affairs has started
speculation very actively, and resulted
in the present advance in provisions
and the opening of French ports for the
admission of American hogs. Many
dealers now look for much higher
prices, both for corn and provisions
The advance, however, has been large
and rapid, so far, and reaction may
be expected"

the hostile Arabs In check, that the
Khedive's Gov rnment has decided to
