cents. A day or two afterwards
it advanced on an excited city
market to so cents, and in some
cases probably cent or two in ad
vance of this. The quantity thai
has been bought by our grair
merchants during the week pasi
has been very large, perhaps the
crops of majority Of our farm
ers. The closing of the northern
canals by ice and the blocking OF
!. the western railroads by snow has
caused this squirt in the market
The Western crop of corn is large
and when it is put in the market
the prices will doubtless be fatten-
ed.
Cold Weather.-The present cold
spell which commenced on Satur-
day, still continues without any
signs of abatement, and it is pre-
dicted it will last somme time. The
thermometer has ranged from Il
degrees to fourteen degrees the
past three mornings and ice has
formed on the ponds between two
and three inches thick. In the
West the thermometer has fallen
in some places Is degrees below
zero, and snow has fallen from one
to two feet deep. 1t looks as if
winter had set in in earnest, with
a speedy cessation of business on
our rivers and canals.
New Residences-Joh E. Tygert
has purchased of William w.
Tschudy a lot, corner of South and
Union Streets Con the opposite cor
ner from Mr.. Tschudy's residence)
having a front of 123 feet and run
ming back ITS feet for S775.
Herman S. Tygert has purchas-
ed of William w. Manlove, the
property on Methodist Street (now
Mt. Vermont fronting Delaware,
known as the "old red house., 12O
feet front, for $3.50. Both intend
to build themselves residences, but
as the weather has set in cold will
defer it until the spring. Each lot
contains a half acre or more beau
tifully situated, and we have no
doubt they will build houses and
have grounds that the town will
be proud of.
Mr.. E. Harry Beck has purchas-
ed of the heirs of Major John G.
Black lot adjoining their resi-
dence on Main Street, for $500
cash, and has staked out the
ground for the erection of a new
residence.
Isaac Truax has recently had
erected on his farm near town
where he resides, new stable 80
x 81 feet, which will accommodate
5 head of horses, also a wagon
shed and tool house 55 x IA feet,
and other improvements. Mr..
Truax intends charging his dwell
ing in the Spring, and making 9th
er improvements.
S. w. Hall, at what we suppose
will be called Halls Landing, near
Leipsic, has one building raised
and another under way for his new
cannery. 1t is said that Mr.. Hall
contemplates spending about $780,
BOO in buildings and other neces-
sary appurtenances to the bust
ness.
In digging the cellar for his new
house, A. P. Griffith, obtained two
wagon loads of stone suitable for
purposes-an unusual
