Boarders from neighboring hotels had heard of the affair, and were presentin' full numbers. Deacon Straw, of another Society, had also heard, but was unable to be present. He sent to the ladies a turkey, however accompanied by a note in which he expressed bis good wishes, trusting thatthe gift might sell for enough to Impart a grain of gladness .to some poor family. The proceeds of the night's salo were to be devoted to the deserving poor of the city. Brooks read the note, and put up the turkey. Just as the plump fowl was exposed a new comer entered the room. He was a stout, roughly clad, brown-face- d man, with astoutstickin his hand, and in the end thereof a long iron brad. ' He had, in short arrived that very evening from Ohio with a drove of hegs, and was ready for purchasers at fair prices, Tho selling of this turkey arrested his attention. As he remarked to a companion who had followed him into the room, this would give hlmian idea of the condition of the marketin Detroit". Meantime Brooks went on with his sale. The boarders of the Exchange and the Mansion House viewed with each other in the effort to enlage the grain of gladness" which should flow ' from the Deaoon's turkey, and finally the boarders of the Mansion House took It at one hundred dxXtars. The man from Ohio fairly jumped' in an ecstasy of delight and satisfaction. Slapping his companion upon the shoulder, he cried, Jewhittakerl We've hit it this time Zed.
