Example of Yankee Shrewdness.

"Talk about Yankee shrewdness," said
the travelling man. II was in little tav.ss
ern up in Connecticut not long ago and q.
farmer came in with eggs to sell. The;
transaction took place in the bar room OF
the establishment. The proprietor agreed
to take two dozen, and when the farmer
came to count over the contents Of his
basket he found that he had twenty-five
eggs. The proprietor wanted the extra
egg thrown in for good measure. The
farmer didn't see it that way and they
argued the matter. At last the proprietor
said he'd take the twenty-five eggs, give
the man drink and call it square. The
farmer agreed and pocketed his money.
"Now, what'll you have?" asked the
proprietor.
The Yankee farmer was ready with his
reply:
"Sherry and egg," he said.

KEARsE, April live had our first,
last, and best pindar popping at the hos
pitable home of Mr.. Jno. Ritter last Fri
day evening. After the joVial crowd had
gathered the pindars were brought out to
be she!led. When they were shelled We
very kindly left the hulls for Mr.. Ritter,
but the crisply parched nuts inside were
too great temptation-we enjoyed them
very much. If the rest of our farmers
would adopt Mr.. Ritter's plan, they would
get their pindars shelled more willingly.
After the pindars came games, music and
dancing, and, at last, after spending a
most delightful evening, the guests de-
parted for their respective homes.
