by Us for many years, but we never saw
a sale like the one at Mr. Larock's near
Oakley, on Monday last If the influence
oi the advertising columns of the Chron-
icle brought about such an effect, we will
attend no more safes advertised in its
columns when we are hunting for bar
gains at public sales. The people We're
there ia large numbers, and fairly tum-
bled over each other to get articles at the
prices OF new. Amy article brought new
prices Que man remarked, that If the
auctioueer we're to put up a one dollar
bill, it would bring at least 81 z5 at that
sale. Bedsteads like those which cost
from 81 to S. sold for $3.50. Chairs
worth 81 new, brought 81 30. A china
set sold for 500, and everything else in
proportion. Every body men, women
and children we're well equipped with
ready cash, and made things lively.
