 When a certain young hcrdwar' merchant in town returned from lfs dinner the other day, he found "a large crape, tastefully arranged tack ed to his store door with the following appended: "Busted!- Sheriff7s Sale tO.morrow-Gone~ to dinner"
 Encias Hinton las layed the law aside and turned his attention to that of a carpente CT. He is making himself a real.'.jingerhread" yard fence, and while welding the saw and hammer he says the paridy ar married life comes very fOrcibly to his mind,
 Mir. Rosamon pastor of the Baptist chnrch, prea aohed two very learned and eloquent discourses on the Jewish Tabernacle, last Sun day. Mir. Rosamon, though com paratively young in years, is one of the most learned theOlo gians and deepest thinkers in the coun. try. The Baptist church should be, and doubtless is, very proud of him.

Certainly no town tpf any importance on any other railroad would be so cOntented with such "sittins rOOm'' as the ono for which tho Prescott depot is notorious.
 This piece of information has been going the rounds. We do not doubt tine truth of it, but you can take it for what you think it is worth. It is as follows:

And when it quit raining he thought he wonld vacate the log, but to his surprise the log had swelled so he could not release himself. He began to think of all the meanness that he had done. and remembered that he hol not ,.,;I tho nrintar If ma1a
