A LUDcRous MIsTAKE. A Cincinnati gro
Gerry house, finding out that cranberries COM
manded six dollars per busbel, and under the
impression that the article could be bought to
advantage at st. Mary's, wrote ont 10 Gus
toner, acqnainting him with the fact, and re-
qnesling HIM to send Zone hundred bushels per
Summons" (the wagner usually sent.) The
correspondent, plain uneducated man, had
cons derable difficulty in decphering the fash
ionabIe scrawl, common with merchants clerks
of late years, and the NEST important word
''cranberries,' he failed to make out, but he did
plainly and clearly read-one hundred bushels
PersimmOns. AS the article was growing all
around him, all the boys in the neighborhood
were set to gathering it, and the wagner made
his appearance in due time in Cincinnati with
eighty bushels, all that the wagon-bed would
hold, and line from the country merchant
that Lte remainder would follow the next trip.
An explanation soon ensued, but The customer
insisted that the Cincinnati house should have
written By Simmons and not per Simmons.
