Rev. Sterrett claims to have been mors of an oddity twenty-five years ago than now. To-morrow morning he will preach the first sermon be ever wrote, a quarter of a century ago. It is said to to be quite unique.

Tbe Yonkera Gazette says that "one thing in this world that men never to understand is a woman." We never saw one yet that couldn't make herself understood if she wanted anything very bad—for Instance, some of tbe elegant new and nobby stationery for which Button A Co's Central Bookstore has such an enviable reputation, or the elegant books, albums, pictures, mantel and table ornaments, that render the Central so attractive.

Tacitus once said that early marriages make us immortal. If this be so there is a grand army of young men in the country who don't seem to care much for wings, crowns, harps and other celestial furniture. They ought to reform, get married, enjoy tbe pleasures of housekeeping, and buy ther table supplies of Wright A King, tbe popular grocers on the corner of Main and Seventh streets. For it is a real pleasuae to keep house when such a well filled grocery house is so bandy, and where yon. have only to leave orders for anything in season, and it is promptly delivered at your bouse without farther trouble.
