 The Mite Mission Circle of the M. D. church held it's semi-annual tea party at the home of the Misses Martin last Thursday afternoon.
 Our village people have been aroused by bold robbery. Sunday night burglars entered the home of Dr Knight and removed the silver, carefully sort ing out the solid, but leaving the plated ware in the cellar. After helping him self or themselves to whatever eatables could be found. the robbers departed, leaving doors open behind them. It seems that then, the night or early morning air being cool, and the silver somewhat inconvenient to carry, they just stepped over to the R. 0. parsonage and borrowed an overcoat and travelling bag from Rev Father Fox. Since ther the party or parties have not been heard from. E. w. Spur did thriving business in bolts, locks, padlocks, etc., on Monday.

A private letter from New York in speak
ing of hops says: 1.-The market has been
very firm again this week, but the actual
business transacted has been small. Pur-
chsses have been made by dealers at an ad
vance of one cent per pound over last
weeks prices, and the tendency is strong
for further advance, but the demand from
brewers still lags, and shows close hand
tom uth policy. Exporters are ready for
business when samples are shown them
which meet their views on quality, but as
such are very scarce and held above present
quotations, but few are changing hands.
The present position of the market is
rather difficult to define Sales of choice
States to brewers are reported in few ex-
ceptional instances as high as twenty-four
cents, yet we do not feel warranted in QUOT
ing this as the market price. it being well
known that hops good enough to bring
this figure are not floating around the mar
ket Bets have been freely offered-and as
freely accepted-that we would see thirty
cents per pound for choice State hops in

there will be no material advance until

the first issue it will merit and no doubt
receive liberal patronage. The editors
declare that they will present to the
people clean paper, which shall contain
no matter unfit to be read in the parlor Of
any citizen in the presence of his wife and
children and that they are : not in the

their enterprise is deserving of substantial
recognition by the people of this city.
