Ax eichange says that the printing press has made presidents, killed poets, furnished bustles for beauty, and pol­ ished genius with the sandpaper of Its criticism. It has made the world get up to roll cill every morning; given thk pulpit lungs of Irou and a volcj of steam. It has set the price on a bush­ el of wheat, and made the country post office the glimmering goal of the rural scribe. It lias curtailed the power of kings, embellished the pantry shelves and bursted rings; It has exposed fraudt brought criminals to punish­ ment; It has furnished the whole fe­ male race wiih dress patterns; it has converted bankers into paupers, made wood sawyers college presidents; it has educated the homeless lad robbed the philosopher of his reason; It smiles and kicks and cries and dies--but it can't be run to suit everybody, and the editor is a fool who tries it. We learn that Win. Huffman, of Nunda, mat with a serious and painful accident on Thursday of last week. He was raising a heavy pump from a well with a windlass and when nearly out ths chain silpptd and the sudden jerk broke his right arm near the shoulder joint, and also threw his shoulder out of joint. At last accounts he was suf­ fering considerable pain, but getting along as well as could be expected.

CHICAGO, ILL„ June 8th. 188S GRAIN: The grain market for the p<tst week has been quite active and wheat lias been de :ldcdly strong owing to the official report that Ohio will give only SI per cent of tier average yield of this cereal, and the Kansas crop ia man? -sr.Uoos Is pronounced almost a total failure. The Spring Wheat districts however report chances for a heavy crop, never better. The total receipts of wheat and corn at the leading markets In the U. 8. for the past week was, wheat. 3.716,500 bus., or ever 600.000 more bus. than the week previous. Corn 4,061,000 bus. which was over 850,000 bus. more than for the week ending June 1st. There aro more sellers thfu buyers in the market, nevertheless prices hold llrm and Cash Wheat No. 3 red Winter sells for We; No. 3 Spring for 88c; Corn 46c; Oats tnd Rye 65 to 66c, Coin still refu«es to sympathise to any ex tent with wheat. anJ <>a*s Is sold al­ most entirely to actual dealers an l consumers, speculation being quite light. As the warm and favorable weather ceiitiiiuescorii aud oats do not advance a-y In price. LIVE STOCK,--The receipts for |tne past week amounted to 30 946 liea I of cattle. 99,010 hogs and 10 874 head of sheep. The receipts for the previous week amounted to nearly 35 per cent more. Prices for cattle are aHtt>e lower than a week ago. Shipping grades are quoted at $4.65 to 15.65 cows at 92.50 to 94.75; veal calves 94.50 to 97.00; bulls at 92.75 to 94.15; Texans 93.50 to 94.75; stackers 93 50 to 94 35; and feeders 94 35 to 95.00. f Hogs are active at a slight advance; rough and mixed lota bring 93.70 to 93 95, while heavy packing and ship- ping bogs bring from 93.95 to Light hogs and readily at from 94.85 to 95.25. All the leading packing houses are now cutting, and last week many of the establishments had buyers daily in the hog market. The season's packing to date is much In excess of any previous year since 1890. BUTTER.--Which for the past two weeks has been almost a drug In the market Is stetdy, and bottom prices htve been reached for the present. Creamery faucy Is quoted at 16c; com­ mon choice 13 to 15c;choice dairy is quoted at 13 to 13c. The heavy stock has been largely un­ loaded and an advance can be expected. CHEESE.--There has been no rurther decline the past day or so in this staple which is considered rsvorable to better prices. Sales are light at the follow­ ing quotations: Young America full cream a.t 7 to 7}c; full cream Cheddar 6 to 6Jc; flat 6( to 6|c; skimmed choice 2 to 3c. EOGS --Jkx* thill o # I ng to the warm weather aq^l heavy supplies op Jiand. They are selling from 10 to ll)c. Fresh northern eggs bring the best price. No Imnedl .te prospeots for better prices. POTATOES.--The old stock Is almost entirely driven out by new, which sell resdily from 39 to 43c, depending upon quality and kind, the Butbanks selling at the highest price quoted. POULTRY.--A better feeling prevails and old hens sell from 9 to 9Jc, while spring chickens bring 93.00 to 95.00 per dos.; ducks sell at from i to 9cper pound. > EDITOR PLAINDEALKR:--In the last Issue of your paper of June 3d there appeared ap article from your Rich­ mond writer. In which it is stated that large crowd gathered to witness a race between Prairie King and George El dredge's little mare. I waa not aware that there was any race, nor am I now aware or It. It stated that Prairie King or his owners boast of a fast record for him. They can well do so. He gained his reoord of 3.-35 as a five year eld at Springfield, Mass.. Sep­ tember 7th, 1882, and it was the fourth heat of the race. In 1884, at Racine, iu two weeks training, he trotted la the 3:36 stallion race, which he won in three straight beats; fastest heat was 2:28} In that race. This was en September 6th. 1884. Prairie King is in service this season, and lias up to this date served 51 mares,and |s not In condition to trot | but on Sundsy last I extracted a needle rrom his knee that made him break on last week Thursday. Could you explain to me how that needle got Into his knee. Well, there was no In­ tention to trot him, hsd ha not been lame. All that was Inteuded was to show him on the stretch and that was the Instructions given to his driver; but if Mr. George Eldredge thinks his mare can beat Prairie King, I will simply say that I can distance his mare auy time that he will give me seven days not ice- that is ill the time 1 will ask, out or service. The gate money to go to the winner. I think It will be a one* heat race, for I am sure 1 can dlt» tance hia mare in a half mile.

Almost every place of business in Mareniro was closed on Decoratio.i Day. Whv was it not so in Woodstock?--Democrat.

We have never sent a list of wedding presents to be published in our column, and never intend to, although we have been importuned to do so upon more than one occasion. In more than one-balf the pretents published (by request) ths whole list would not cost over ten dollars when pur chased of dealers who have stocks of "odds and ends" for such purposes. It is simply the poor in purse trying Jo Imitate and make the same exhibition at such times as their more fortunate fellow beings can. To us it has ever seemed a foolish practice,of no bene­ fit to any one outside the immediste family and very intimate friends of thore who re­ ceive the presents,* and the printer has to do tbe labor gratis or be considered a bog. There are no presents for him In the matter and we have<never heard of muclji wealth falling to the correspondents who are-ia the habit of sending long list of presents to the poor prin- ter to set up for nothing/ The practice is a nuisance and ought to be abolished by all con- cernpF;- Kow A WD AOAIW.
