and Leaves for California.

W. P. Spaulding has disposed of his
South Broad street residence to Mrs.
Cynthia G. Davis for 81. 900. and the
latter took possession yesterday. Mr..
Spaulding and family departed Tues
day afternoon for California by way
of st. Paul.
This is the property that short
time ago was reported to have been
sold to Chas. ]. Macbeth. It appears
that Mr. Spaulding subsequently con-
cluded not to consummate the sale to
Mr.. Macbeth, which was to be
largely trade for land in Wiscon-

Mr.. Macbeth had expected up to
last evening to move into the Spauld-
ing property at once, and had given
up his fat in the Security block in
contemplation of the move. The sale
of the property to Mr.. Davis came as
a surprise to him.

AS TO cows TEETH.

A learned discussion on the subject
Has Cow Teethf" agitated the
Mug House club the other night for
several hours. Farmers, lawyers,
doctors, thinkers, argued pro and
con with much fire. Bold assertions
were made that no ruminant. at least
no hollow horned ruminant, has teeth.
One man said he hal often pat his
hand into a cows moath to see IL she
could bite him, and she could not.
Others were certain that a COW is as
we'll toothed as a saw. The upshot
was no one knew anything about it,
and guessing did not count. Reference
to the proper authorities revealed that
a COW has no front teeth in the upper
jaw, but any quantity of cheek teeth,
with the upper molars REINFORCED
by an additional column on the inner
side. Nothing is so educational as a
