Jones's t.uck. They do tell a queen story of Frank Jones, the Democratic candidate for Governor of New Hampshire. They say that on the night of the election he went to bed early, realizing that he had been defeated. He soon fell asleep, and dreamed that there was to occur a rise on barley. He arose bright and early the next morning, and acting up on his dream, set out purchasing grain. He bought 200,000 bushels. In a few days the price advanced 30 cents a bushel, and Frank Jones,'' of New Hampshire, cleared just 065,000. Stock in dreams will now enj'oy an upward tendency. Another TVest Point. E. R. Wilson, an express agent, who was alleged to have been knocked on the head at West Point, Ga.,and robbed pn Monday night last, confessed that he wounded himself with a knife and then beat his head with a piece of pine wood, and tpok the money. So much for the force of example, and 99 much for living at a place called W$t Point, Cadat Whitaker and Agent Wilson could now go down to posteri ty together but for the whito feather Of Wilson in his confession. Whitaker has better grit. He don't confess, and it seems to pay.
