JOHN BLAKK, our enterprising Fur­ niture dealer, sold 9165 worth of furni­ ture on Saturday last. One hundred dollars worth was sold to one man, Frank Cox, of Nunda. This, consider­ ing the dull times, we consider a very food day's trade. But then Blake Is an enterprising man, keeps none but good Goods, sells cheap, and advertises In the TLAINDKALER. All these things taken together is sore to draw a big trade. AN eminent lecturer, in reply to th question recently made, "What do yoi think the tendency of newspapers is a present?" said: "the papers of the future I think will be newt papers. The editorial is getting shorter and •horter. The paragraphist la taking the place of the heavy man. People rather form their own opinions from the facts. Of oonrse, good articles will always And readers; but the dreary, doleful, philosophical dissertation has had Its day, ^ • The Conneaut Herald thus addresses Itself to business men: A word to our business men. It Is well known that you have no very kind­ ly feelings for thesis persons who go out of town to trade when they could probably do as well at home, bid you ever think of applying the same rule to your own actions? The papers are here for tiie purpose of working for the town and for you. They are rim by competent men who understand their business, end can do any work you in ay wish at reasonable prices. Then they exchange trade with yon. and the profits are equally divided. Remember that you owe It to yourself and to them to give no work to traveling agents, at lea*t until you have satisfied yourself by Inquiring at the home of­ fice* that such is the proper course.

AN exchange tiny* talks an­ cient history of base ball: We read a good deal about the flrst. base-man. the second base-man. and third base-man; and also of the shortstop man; and it occurs to us that Cain was the original first base-man, Judas Iscari.tt secor.d. and Nero third; while the Wandering Jew may be regarded as the original short-stop, for he never made anyLhing but a short stop wherever he went. Noah was probably the llrst pitcher, for he pitched the ark withiu and without. AN exchange thus laments over a de- linquent subscriber: , He went to Dakota, Or sotne place remote-ah 1 • (And we are out 5 years* subscription ) Our long experience in the news­ paper business has demonstrated the fact that there is more truth than poetry in th« above quotation, and that it is too true that there are men mean enough to take a newspaper Ave years and then cheat the publisher out or his pay.

Chihlt^n's Wear In the -eAnnty at bottom prices at Perry A Oweu'a, EDITOR PUINDEALER.--I had sup­ posed that the last word had been said touching the matter Biolic&l broached by Mr. Bassett some six or eight months ago, and consequently, was not a little surprised to find the topic revived in your last iSsuo. I am not qtiite sure I understand the purpose o,~ said article, though its drift is apparent enough In the following sentence: "That an «®- judgc should fall to prove from Matt. 24 a personal appearing or Jesus Christ, and a literal ending of the world dis­ appoints no one who has looked critic­ ally at the subject." Waving the point raised In the assumption as to the pres­ ent writer's identity, a fact In itself wholly unimportant, and, In this con­ nection simply interesting n8 furnish­ ing a fresh illustration of a singular propensity to take tilings for granted in the absence, I wish to note a mis­ conception on the prrt of my neighbor as to the part I have taKen In this dis­ cussion. I am not aware that I have attempted to prove anything on the general subject here designated. I have simply ventured to dissent from Mr. B. and to give my reasons therefor^ Not accepting his theory, my object was to show its weakness, not to establish a counter theory in Its place. If this gentleman has anything further to offer affirmatively on the main issue, or anything to say as argument In reply to my strictures, it is his privilege to do so. Or does he suppose the subject already exhausted? If he does not, and wishes still further to prosecute the Inquiry, I should be moat happy to ren­ der him any assistance In my power, and would rather agree thah disagree if it were possible. But I must protest against gratuitous assumptions. Sub­ terfuges are degrading at all times, au'd figurative mist ideation on a subject so grave and awful, Is an exegetical outrage. A PRIORI.

We are Informed that the other expenses paid amount to over totir hundred dollars more. How much better it would have been if the people's money, thus needlessly -wast- ed, had hern paid over to the town of MeHenry to help pay for the bridge. The Messrs. Cole have been busily engaged Tor months in repairs on tlie flouring mills, the object being to con­ vert the mills into the new process of manufacturing Hour by rollers. Eight or ten men have been, busily engaged most of tlie summer, and, we are glad to state, have got nearly through, so that the mills will soon be turning out the "new procets' flour. It has cost a large sum of money to make tlie change, aud we hope it may all come back in an increased patronage. We notice that some of our boy friends are raising young, crows for pets, and, for their benefit, we will give them onr boy's experience with the same black rascals. Last season he caught two young crows and brought them home. Tliej were kept in the barn until they were pretty well grown, and they ate an immense amount of fresh meat In the meantime. They were at length given the freedom of the premises witlf the chickens, and showed no disposition to leave. • As soon as let loose they refused their or­ dinary food, and we thought they were Jiving on bugs and worms. Not so. We had a large number of blooded chicks that summer, but the number grew steadily less as soon as tlie crows were given the liberty of the yard, but SA cunning were they that they had killed and eaten thirty full blood­ ed Light Brahma chicks worth a dollar apiece, before we caught tnem at It.
