SARlu UhmpseS or society Life In O B00uAa ing Western Town.
 By perusing the following clippings from the society columns of the Whoop City Pioneer the reader will gain vivid glimpses of everyday life in that pros. pective metropolis:
 ''Uncle Jackey Rawson dropped in on us, yesterday afternoon, and incident ally mentioned the row at the baptizing out at Jerkwater creek, last Sunday, during which the preacher was drowned. Uncle Jackey, though seventy-two years old, held his own in the scrimmage. Call again, Uncle Jackey.''
 Little Willie Hanks was painfully hurt, Monday. His mother, as is her wont when making him pair of pants, had him lying on the cloth on the floor while she chalked the shape around him. At that moment his father came hurry ing in with the news that there was an Eastern capitalist in town, aud stepped on the poor little fellows head before he saw him.'
 "Revrend Mir. Harps requests us to announce that he will marry all corners at less rates than any one else in the town. Old bones, rags and iron taken same as cash"
 "Wednesday morning it was found that the cashier of the Whoop City Saw ings Bank had fled with the funds of the institution, leaving this legend posted on the door: Bank Suspended The boys caught him later. Thursday morn ing he was found swinging on a jack oak limb with this, legend pinned to his bosom: Bank Cashier Suspended"

Aroused from a sweet dream by this ruthless onslaught, and not being a meek and humble rabbit, we grasped a shooting stick and smote the beast on vulnerable spot betwixt the horns, killing her in her tracks. Warn ed by this proof of our skill, Hank in- stituted the damage suit as before stated, instead blooming to sec us about it. as he threatened"

NEW YORK'S CENSUS

HIS LETTER TO MAYOR GRANT.
The Census Cannot bs Amended Without
 Clear Proofs of Great Errors.

The State Department Forwards the Pro-
 tests of the Italian Colony of New Orr
 leans to the Governor of Louisiana-The
 Conscience Fund IncreAsed-JugigO's
 Case Before the Supreme Court.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.- Secretary Noble has made public his letter to Mayor Grant, denying the lAtter's ap- plication for @ recount of the popula- ton of New York City.
 The Secretary's letter is @ document of nearly $500 words. In it the Secre- tary reviews the correspondence be- tween Mayor Grant and the Census which he makes this decision. The Secretary says that the demand rested solely on the alleged supervision of the municipal enumeration by a represen- tative of the United States Census, and devotss a large portion of the letter in discussing this question.
 The Secretary says that the position that the United States Census is incor- rect must be met by something moro than an assertion that the municipal census is right; and that because 1t shows more inhabitants in New York city in the fall of the year than that taken in June, is not evil dence enough to require a recount.
 The Secretary says that the U. S. Census has been taken at vast expense and the enumeration of the whole population is about to be announced. The U. S. enumerators of New York were its citizens and deeply interested in its progress and distinction. They were intelligent, educated and indus trious. They were paid all the law allowed. and there is no reason why their work should not have been done we'll. They did it, their proper re- turns were made. If this good work is attempted to be amended now for this and that, without clear proofs of great errors, its harmony and usefulness will be soon causelessly destroyed. .

HIS DAY IS NEAR.
All Ready at Clinton State Prison for
 Woods Electrocution.


 PLArTsBURe, N. Y., Oct. 2S. The execution of "Cal" Wood for the mur- der of his father-in-law, Leander Pasco, in Warren County, which is booked for next week, if the prisoners counsel is unable to proure a new trial for the murderer, is now the all- absorbing topic of conversation in and around Clinton State Prison.
 Wood is confined in double cell in the new portion of the prison, that occupied by Joseph Chapleau, the Clinton County murderer, whose sen tence was commuted by Gov. Hill to life imprisonment. But Wood differs from Chapleau in many respects. Chapleau is 8 man of considerable in- telligence, while Wood is ignorant and unoouth. The guards who are watch ing him day and night will be greatly relieved when something new turns up in his case. They apparently dread the coming of execution week more than he does, if appearances and actions count for anything.

 You expect to pay interest when you borrow.-A merchants money is his goods. Can he loan his goods or actual money without interest? In other words can you buy on credit without paying more in the way,.of in- terest? No, you cannot. If you want actual cash value, you must buy at straight cash store.
