A Fortune Whitfield Away.

A family residing In the Second Ward

they brought with them from New
Hampshire to this sity, some thirty eight
years age. Ii has been used as tObac-
co box during these many years, and in
to ii has been placed on IA average two
pounds OF tobacco per week, making q
total Of 1852 pounds. Allowing 1870 pipes
of tobacco to the pound, which is fair
estimate, we find that the family has
consumed 1860 pipsfulls Of tobacco,
and used $3.50 pipes during that time.
Allowing that the tobacco cost an aver
age OF 40 cents per pound, and the pipes
three for cents, we fad that the con-
