With an Eye to Economy.

A tinware peddler called at a house
on Fourth Avenue the other day to ex-
change some of his goods for paper
rags. The woman brought out sack
weighing ten or fifteen pounds and the
peddler held it up on his spring s1aies
and announced:
"Dere vhas shust six pounds, so help
me gracious
Her husband came out at that moment
and replied that he would not accept
any such weight. He knew there were
at least ten pounds in the sack and he
didn't propose to be swindled.
"My frendt, do you pellet sheat
you?' asked the peddler
"You would if you got the chance. :"
1t was agreed that the man should
take the sack across to the grocery and
weigh it for himself, but he was no
sooner out of sight than the peddler
drove off and did not stop for five
blocks. In the afternoon the man met
him down town and asked:
"Ah! you rascal, why didn't you wait
for me?"

This department, under the efficient

fast becoming well equipped and rem
dered more and more effective. Yester-
day four new wheels for the engine were
received from the manufacturing cOm-
pany, of Silsby, Seneca Falls, \. Y,
which for neatness, strength and dur
ability look like they could not be
beaten. The fore wheels are four feet
and the hind ones five feet in Diane er.
The spokes and felloes are of the best
seasoned hardwood, and to hold them
firm are riveted the one to the other;
the tires, three inches broad and three
fourths of an inch thick, are of steel.
and the hubs are of iron and patented.
a nickel-plated cap protects the hub
from dust and dirt. The wheels are
neatly painted, are very heavy, and will
prove very seryiceable for many year
to come.
