DR. EDDY GAINED On His 7Sth Birthday,

The Rev Dr Hiram Eddy, of Canaan, Conn has preached the gospel for 8 half century pr more and his record Is we'll known. It is also we'll known that he has been imprisoned-in Libby Prison. He does not deny it and his conduct in Canaan has proved that he deserved to be caned, but he is giant both In stature and intellect, consequent ly no individual unaided would be rash enough 10 attempt to cane him. About forty of is neighbors and intimate friends determined to cane him but even that number deemed it prudent to steal a march on him, therefore they chose lis 18th birthday as the proper time for carrying into effect their long cherished desire. Accordingly at 2 o'clock last evening they met by agree ment at the residence of Mir S. W.
 Barnes and then in body proceeded to
 Dr Eddy's residence When the door,
 bell was answered the attacking party rushed in. surprised and captured Dr Eddy and bls castle. He surrendered gracefully to overwhelming numbers but he was overcome with emotion
 when the Rev T. Fl. Baragwanath, in
 behalf of the visitors, bravely stepped
 mp in front of him and proceeded to ''cane" him in we'll chosen and heartfelt words expressing the esteem and friend ship of his neighbors who as a slight token of their regard had procured gold healed ebony cane which MT Bar agwanth then handed to him. As soon as Dr Eddy could regain his composure he replied in appropriate words and sincerely thanked his friends for their unexpected yet very acceptable gift and all that 1t implies. Refreshments, pro- vided by the visitors, were then served and after couple of hours spent in con- versation and exchange of good wishes the company dispersed, we'll pleased with the success of their plot to surprise and cane Dr Eddy. The inscription on the cane corresponds with Dr Eddy's age and the occasion.
 Dr Eddy and St Patrick were born on the same day-of the month-and in Canaan the birthday of each is observed. In this connection it is proper to re- mark that about 35 years ago when Dr Eddy was pastor of the Congregational church at East Canaan he preached 8 sermon to farmers, urging them to clear their farms, and the highway. of hard hacks, rocks, stumps, brush and weeds. That sermon had the desired effect and has gone into history as ''Dr Eddy's Hardhack Sermon," consequently we append the following: '" St Patrick, tis said, cleared Ireland's bogs,
 Of snakes, reptiles aud insects, toads, tad-
 poles aud frogs" Dr Eddy, tis said. cleared Canaan's land,
 Of rocks, har,ihacks and thistles, stumps,
 bulrush and sand.

Oh the lst Will have on trade generally. In
regard to values, prices were fairly main-
tanned. Some houses in the trade consider
that the tendency is toward an improvement,
both in prices as well as demand, while
others think the contrary. This is probably
due TO the fact that those who have long
established trade have continuous run Of
orders, which enables them to market theiren-
tire output without difficulty at quoted rates.
Those whose brands are less fsvorabi = known,
or where that particular graue is not wanted,
nave no alternative out 10 shade prices.
