Flour is now worth §2 50 per band- red in this market; beef 8 cents. Twenty-two persons happened into a private residence and took dinner, last Sunday.

M. Thatcher left us last week and has not returned yet. Could the edi tor of the T idings give us any inform ation as to his whereabouts, as bis part ner is too much engaged in waiting on the fair sex, since he became a store man. S. Worden and G.
