It says : The shrewdeet deal of the season on the open board was engineered by Charley Cronkhite through his brokers in the wheat pit, Isaac MeyersOo. Cronk- hite was short a large line of November wheat, and thinking " discretionthe better part c! valor," resolved to cover at a fair refit. and to do so sent Jennin , the u er, into the arena with o are to so an quantity of December necessary to brea down the November option. The entire plan was worked after hours, when the heavy operators from up stairs had gone home. and the boys succeeded in breaking down the market 1} cents, buying} back all short wheat for November at anioe T profit. The entire deal wasawell execqu one. Charlie has a large circle of friends both here and in St. Louis. and they willbe glossed to learn of the way he has got on. good authority places the earnings of the shrewd young speculator for the past few days at over 830.000. while he had $70 to start on. This is a most remarkable deal. According to the View: entertained by Dr. Herteen, of Cannes. in France. the o mic acids in grapes deserve more con- ei oration, ’dieteticelly. than they have generally received. and their nutritive value has been as commonly underrated.

These ere questions_ for wise_ Christisns to ask: “v ‘_v_7__ VVV Many of the popular pleasures of the day for the young are not right. There are three or four p0 ular pleasures which are full of great to the young ; for instance. dancing. theatrical exhibi- tions. card playing and summer excursions. The first is unnatural and unbecoming. Dancing, so far as the Bible is concerned. is the dancing of women alone or men alone. but not the dancing of men‘ and women together. Dancing in Biblical days was not a pleasurable but a- religious ‘ ceremony. The preacher quoted the say- 1 ing of Mr. Spurgeon, who said that he never saw dancin that he did not feel an uncomfortable fee 'ng about the neck, and the sight 6! the he“ of John the Baptist rose before his vision. This promiscuous assemblage of men and women, pursued the preacher, is. to say the least, contrary to maidenly modesty. It is not a dignified amusement for a virtuous man or woman. Itis not dignified and it is not modest for men and women to come thus together. Neither is the costume in vogue by females in the ball-room in accordance with Christian propriety and maidenly modesty. Apancing does not make a high type of sOhristisn. How many a. bright girl can I remember who for a. few months worked for Christ. but fashion threw her beck and God departed from her. It is s. peril to Christian lite, and it is not well for ‘ you to encourage it. The rev. gentleman proceeded to dwell upon theatrical amuse- ments. I any further, that these theatres receive every year $7,000,000. while not 33,000,000 are contributed to preach the gospel to the unbeliever. Cards have a. bad name and bad associations. and were the ruin of millions of men end women. Give up these perilous pleasures during the coming winter. ‘Severel dsys ego we published a commu- nication from Mrs. Smith giving an woount of the singular action oiepure white pigeon that re ' ed to the bedside of a sick child of Mr. olds, in Todd oounty,Kentucky, end the evoticn with which it wetched the little sufl’erer.

The Hessian fly was never known to be so numerous in Ohio as it is the present sea- son. One farmer says that he pulled up fifty stalks of wheat promiscuously through his fields and found only one stalk that did not contain the fly. Stalks have been ex- amined which contained from ten to thirty larvae. It is also stated that:a worm, re. ‘sembling a ‘re-worm is doin more seri- ous injury the plant than t e fly, as it kills it at the root. The wheat on the clay lands seems to have fared the worst; the higher points are almost entirely bare, and nearly all wheat on such lands presents an uneven and dead appearance. Many far- mers have sown the second and third time. but with poor success in gettin a stand. The prospects are not more t an 50 per cent. to 100 as compared with the crop of a year ago. It is announced from England that the price of diamonds has risen about 25 per cent. within the last three or four weeks, in consequence of the purchase of the great Kimberley mines. in the South African diamond field. by a com an of English capitalists, who intend to 0] itaproducts for an advance in values. Diamond experts, jrepresenting American houses in Euro e, =re rt that they new experience more di cu ty in obtaining fine stones there than in disposing of them at home. At the end of the year 22,000 black and 1,700 white men were employed at these mines. From the Kimberley and Old De Beer’s mines alone diamonds to the extent of 3,200,000 karate are annually raised. while the other two mines above named yielded 300.000 karate last year.

The writing of the above gives the editor an opportunity of flattering the female popula on of Oxford (the county in which the editor's spler ciron~ lates.) He is not sure that tie county} will be able to en ply its full quota. For what reason ?

Nevertheless it isjust possible that a few are' left. and. if so, pat- riotism will point to them the way of duty in the present crisis.” The other evening the presence of a partly gentleman on the platform at the allaceburg Railway station attracted the attention of parties who hap nod to be there. and speculation was ' e as to his probable weight. At firsttwo hundredwas surmised to be about the figure at which he would turn the beam, but one particular y knowing individual wagered the refresh. ments for the party that the stranger would outweigh two other men who were present. The visitor on being a preached smiled and kindly offered to set a the dis- gute by being weighed. 0n the scales two 1 undred was raised, then another fifty, but still the beam held up.
