W. order 's tss otser a ag
from a party out of
town who wanted Draper
les and other articles for a
summer cottage.
The letter evidently was
written by a lady, and one
who was somewhat famil-
lar with our stock, altho'
we have learned since that
she had gained this knowl-
edge mostly from reading
our advertisements. She
knew what she wanted,
however, and it was graft
flying to know that our Sc
lections gave entire salts
faction.
She said: 81 have dark
olive shades at windows,
which the owner of the
cottage says came from
your place last season; now
! want some cheap drapery
curtains for five windows;
and if the kind you adver-
tise for 75c. a pair would
be suitable, please send
them.
"Would also like two
large rugs, such as you
have sold at $500 each. l
saw one at a neighbor's
in rather bright oriental
colorings. One good ham,
mock with pillow attached
and woven closely SO that
the children won't get
their feet through it.
"Would also like two ten
mis- rackets, for ladies' use,
price about three dollars
each, one bottle bay rum,
box OF Pears transparent
soap, and a good bath
sponge, not too large.
Kindly have them packed
and send by express, TAX
ing the pay from enclosed
check, balance, if any, to
be returned in the bundle.

An Oak BLIGHT.

A curious blight has attacked many of the
white oak trees in Deering. Had shower
of liquid fire fallen upon the leaves they
would not be more shrivelled and blackened.
The edges are curled up, and examination
shows nothing but little black dust to ac-
count for the phenomenon. Aside from this
the foliage this year is most beautifully lux
uriant. The elms in particular exhibit this
wealth Of delicate, graceful verdure in album
dance almost unprecedented.
