turned on again yesterday, and the truck
and engine sent to Church Hill returned
to their usual quarters, Broad street
near Ninth street.

Mr. Editor:
Some of your readers may be in
terested in the singular combina-
ton of the unlucky number 13:
John McCulloch, whose name
contains 18 letters, and associates,
composed of 13 letters, sold to
George M. Shurtz, whose name con
tains ID letters, tract of land
numbered on the recorded plat No.
ID. Before this the syndicate had
sold twelve pieces of the Charles
IT. Beale land making this one the
18th. The name of Charles IL.
Beale contains 10 letters. There are
100 acres, or ten times ID acres in
the tract, which was sold for sixty
times ID dollars, of which a pay
ment was made of fifteen times 13
dollars. The deed will be written
by Samuel Spencer, whose name
contains ID letters, and is to be de-
hvered on April 18th. April thir-
teen contains ID letters. TO close
the sale Mr.. Shurtz will sign his
name to twelve notes and one trust
deed, making 10 signatures. Thus
you see we have 13 combinations
of ID.
Can anyone beat this on legal
sale?
You will also observe that l
sign my name with 13 letters.

Things TO FORGET.

III you WOulu increase your nap
piness and prolong your life, for
get your neighbours faults. For
get all the Islander you ever heard.
Forget the temptations. Forget
the fault-fnding, and give little
thought to the cause which pro-
voked it, Forget the peculiarities
of your friends, and only remember
the good points which make you
fondsef them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you may have
heard by accident, and which, if
repeated, would seem thousand
times worse than they are. Blot
out as far as possible all the disa-
greeables of life; they will come,
but they will only grow larger
when you remember them, and
constant thoughts of the acts of
meanness, make you more familiar
with them. Obliterate everything
disRgreeable from yesterday, start
out with clean sheet for to-day,
ap1 write upon it for sweet
memory's sake only those things
which are lovely and loveable.
