urV."
An Ohio paper under a MiHedgeville
date line wakes even warmer in the
fanciful description of the Diamond
Queen. Among other things this
dispatch says; Miss DeCris, who,
notwithstanding her incarcerat ton on
charge of stealing diamonds. is one
of the most beautiful women in the
state, was accused of INSTRUMENTATION.
AS punishment she was compelled
to partly disrobe and lashes from a
whip in the hands of an officer were
rained upon her fair flesh. - y
she was a society girl, much ad-
mired and liked, and the discovery of
her guilt caused a sensation. Her
plea was insanity, but this proved
unavailing."

Il notice IN your issue of December
Goth, you make comment on the high
price of turkeys, quoting them as sell
at ~ and IA cents per pound, and that
not every one could afford a Christ

very low figure to us; the least tur-
KEYS could be bought here for Thanks

was "a cents per pound, and for choice
26 cents per pound A According to the
large amount of turkeys disposed of
during the holidays every workingman
in the city must have purchased one.
A large retail butcher shop alone sold
200 tons at the above figure. So you
can see the price did not affect their
sale.
