JOHN J. SPALDING is happy again. Ilis
good wife has returned after an aosence of
several weeks, during which time JOIIN kept
••bachelors hall." He says he got along all
right until all the dishes had been used, and
the beds occupied until tbey were as bard as
a board, after that he thinks he would just as
soon take up with the fare of a first class
watering place hotel. But the beds have
been stirred up and the china washed and
put in order; hence JOHN'S serene appear
ance.
It lias been said '• corporations have 110
souls," and circumstances often seem to con-'
lirm the charge. After seventeen years of

salary, our esteemed friend, T. M. WOOD
RUFF, was on Monday notilied, without any
previous warning, that his place would here-,
after be occupied by another. We suppose
tbe Erie railway company understand their

perintendent LYON says it is not improbable
that the shop will be rebuilt at the Foot of
Flano. The origin of the fire is not known.
