Washington, Nov. 8th, 1891.
The Marvcrick Bank failure is another
one of these unaccountable, it would hard
ly do to call it an accident, but we will say
accidents that sometimes happens. Noth
ing but the grossest carelessness on the
part of the Comptroller of the currency,
a carelessness which amounts to crimi
nal negligence as it did in the case of the
Keystone Bank, could have permitted
this great bank to be ruined by three
men, and allowed these three men to bor
row all the money, which the depositors
put in the bank, for their own use upon
wild cat securities. Yet that has been
going on for months and years right un
der the noses of the Comptroller of the
Currency and the Bank examiners. It is
time that the National Bunking laws
should bo amended so that some protec
tion can be given to depositors as well
as to note holders.
Some years ago large coal fields in
Kansas belonging to the Government
were leased for a term of years to parties
who were allowed to take out the coal.
These parties have continued, since the
expiration of their lease, to take out coal
and have not paid anything to the Gov
ernment in the way of a royalty. Suit
has been commenced against these coal
field parties, who are a part of the Kan
sas ring, to recover the monies duo for
their long unpaid term and to dispossess
them of the mines which, can now be
leased on much better terms.
There does not seem to be much left of
the Alliance in Kansas. In the Judicial
election there the Alliance men elected
two of the judges. Seven Republicans
and three Democrats were elected by a
fusion of the Democrais and Republicans.
In eighty four counties out of the one
hundred and six heard from, the Alliance
carried ninety-four of the county officers,
the Republicans two hundred and forty
eight and the Democrats ten. Last year
the Republicans had seventy one of the
officers in these counties and the Alliance
throe hundredjind fifty three. The Re
publican gain "over last year's vote will
not be less than 40,000. It is rather
singular to consider how the Republicans
have been treated in Kansas. Ex Sena
tor Ingalls did not go near the State dur
ing the election, but was off lecturing for
from three to five hundred "dollars a night,
while Senator Plumb was making a most
vigorous canvass.
Some of the candidates for Speaker
have already opened their rooms in
Washington city and are making ready
for the battle which will continue until
after the Democratic caucus makes its
selection and that will not probably be
before the fifth of December. There will
probably be much discussion among the
leaders of the party as to who would be
the proper man. Mr. Cleveland's friends
and Mr. Mills' friends seem to be work
ing together with the idea that Mr. Mills
should be Speaker, and that the whole
canvass of next year should be made upon
tho tariff reform idea and the silver ques
tion be ignored. This will hardly suit
the Democrats of the South and West and
if it should become apparent that some
thing like a union has been formed be
tween the Cleveland people for Mills it
win excue very great vppueiLiuu. uuo
of tho clearest headed of the Democratic
leaders says that the party cannot afford
to make Mr Mills Speaker. He has de
clared in the last Canvass for a tariff for
revenue only and on such a platform as
that the Democratic party would be
beaten out of sight. Another one of
the serious questions involved is how to
dispose of the Speakership in a way to
satisfy that element in Congress which
represents the rural districts. It is very
clear to every thinking man that the
Democratic party of the South and West
has to conciliate that element and to put
Mr. Crisp to the front, who has openly
antagonized the farmers' vote, would be
like shaking a red rag in a bull pen.
Quite a number of the advanced thinkers
consider Mr. Mills and Mr. Crisp, though
they will each receive a large vote in the
caucus, as practically out of the race.
A Southerner on War with Chili.
To the Editor of the New York Bun :
Sib : War between Chili and the United
States would end forever all sectional talk
in this country. A call for volunteers
would meet with instant response from
every southern State.
The men of the north and the men of
the south marching together to uphold
the Republic's honor would disrupt the
two old political parties.
The southern soldier marching to the
music of "Yankee Doodle" would cause
groans of anguish from the politicans who
delight in fanning alive the slumbering
embers of sectional hatred.
A war with Chili would unite our
country in a new brotherhood. Then,
indeed, it would be a blessing in disguise.
Ex-Southern Soldi eh.
New York, Nov. 2, 1891.
HIT" The Courier Journal says: "In
both Massachusetts and Iowa the people
are thoroughly aroused on the question of
tariff reform.
"It is an issue which unites the Demo
crats of every section of the Union. For
it the leaders of the party have since 1876
contended with great courage, with great
wisdom and under much discouragement.
At last victory is within our reach. The
whole organization, from Massachusetts
to Texas, is inspired with enthusiasm and
supported by tho hope of victory.
"On this issue, and on this issue alone,
can Democrats everywhere be brought
face to face in solid phalanx with the
Republican hosts. It is no time now for
new issues or for the discussion of ques
tions involving another educational cam
paign." There is wisdom in this.
For Bishop of Georgia. Atlanta, Nov.
8. It is believed that the problem of se
curing a Bishop for the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Georgia has been
solved by an understanding already ar
rived at unofficially to select the Rev. Dr.
Cleland Kin lock Nelson of South Bethle
hem, Pa. Mr. Nelson was born in Cul
pepper in 1852. He is a great-grandson of
Gen. T. A. Nelson, one Governor of Vir
ginia, whose statute is one of the group
at Richmond on the pedestal of the eques
trian statute of Washington.

Extracts from Gov. Holt's Address
At the LayiDg of the Corner Stone of North
Carolina Steel and Iron Company,
Greensboro,sNov. 5, 1891. r
This day we celebrate a most auspi
cious event in North Carolina.
We crown the king of industry.
Wo hail the enthronement of that
monarch who rides foremost in every car
of civilization throughout the countries of
the world.
The first iron ore found in North Amer
ica of which we have knowledge, was by
Raleigh's colonists, in North Carolina in
1585. The first effort at the production
of the mental, was in Virginia in 1619, but
this was broken up by Indian alarms and
wars.
Subsequently to this Massachusetts
persevered in an effort io produce the
metal in sufficient quantity for tools and
domestic utensils, and finally began its
export to the mother country. Very
much of its after prosperity is traced to
successful industries in iron at an early
period.
It is in its politico economic results to
the South, that the manufacture of iron
and steel is of deepest consequence to the
student of men and affairs, and the results
that are to flow from the establish ment of
this furnace whose corner stone wo lay
today, and the line of its success wijl
be of such importance to the people of
North Carolina as to make this occasion
a mile stone in history.
But the recent progress of the South, in
this development is a bright augury of
her own future. Also there was a time
when she Borely needed it. When iron
clads were built, that like the glorious
Virginia, whom history persists in calling
the "Merrimac" and were covered with
rail road rails for lack of suitable plates
or machinery to make them when rams
of wonderful ingenuity were constructed,
without engines to drive them six knots
an hour, for lack of material when Grant
ran his supplies and reinforcements by
rail around Petersburg, and steam was
opposed by starving mules, and super
human courage in tho defenders, there
was woeful lack of iron, save in the im
perishable steel of the soul, which
sustained her people through the night's
darkness unto the sunlight of her happy
prospects today.
The iron production of the South in
1880 was 394,000 tons, or one half of that
of the Union in 1855, but in only ten
years, or in 1890, it bad advanced to
1,686,000 tons, or more than the entire
United States in 1868, which was 1,603,
000 tons.
These figures are eloquent indeed.
What could convey a cleverer idea of the
extraordinary natural advantages of our
lovely Southern land, for this great indus
try, than the bare fact that the gain alone
in production in only ten years after there
habilitation of the South had occurred,
actually about doubled the entire output
of the United States six years before the
civil war.
But the excellence of our ores, was re-,
cognized as far back as the days of the
Revolutionary war, and only want of
transportation prevented toe development
of the superb deposits of magnetic and
specular iron ore, of the haematites, and
other forms, abundantly described and
tested by Emmons, Kerr and other emi
nent geologists, and within easy and
convenient access at last to Greensboro.
It is to such enterprises as the one we
rejoice to honor to day, that North Caro
lina, is to own the exploitation of her
grand array of 160 minerals, and take her
rightful place in this, as in other great
fields of human effort.
When the fires shall be lighted for the
flow daily and hourly of this steam of
wealth, Greensboro will shortly find by
her side a new town of skilled citizens,
building in turn all her other interests and
extending her limits far and wide with
happy homes, where honest labor and
domestic love, and restful peace shall
make their abode.
That is the population that all lovers of
.North Carolina long to see assembling in
her borders, enjoying a cheerful welcome,
helping to bear the light burdens of our
State government, fortunate in its simpli
city and economy, and yet broad and
comprehensive in true liberality.
Let us acknowledge that skill must
come from experience, and experience
must be brought from abroad, and freely
too. But I have such respects for the
patriotism as well as the intelligence, and
practical wisdom of the honored citizens
who lead this enterprise as to feel con
vinced that they will not hesitate to make
some sacrifice, in the beginning to scruti
nize the character of those whom they
bring to the bosom of their people. And,
furthermore, I believe they will encourage
a disposition at home to learn the me
chanic arts will give the sons of their
workmen, and the children of other North
Carolinians a chance to fit themselves as
approved and skillful workers.
As one by one the glad furnace fires
shall be lighted, that shall flash for each
other the new day of glory from moun
tain to valley, and back again through
North Carolina, let them fall upon indus
try that has virtue as well as skill.
May the humbiest man who rakes and
piles, who moulds and puddles, who draws
and punches, and rivets and hammers,
look with pride to the company that is
too noble to do ought but justly and
liberally by him and tho little family he
loves.
Manufacturing towns where this spirit
prevails, whether organized upon the co
operative system so-called or not, will be
co operative in a very high sense. They
will give to the Stato hor brightest glory
in peace, her stoutest defence in war.
Ilonor the men who this day invito the
iron king to make his lasting habitation
among us.
An Apple Salad. For the basis she
used solid tart apples, pared and cut into
small bits. With this she mixed an equal
quantity of celery, cut in bits of the same
size. After thoroughly mixing, she
dressed them in the salad bowl with a
simple mayonnaise made as follows:
Into the yolk of one egg, previously
beaten, a sufficient quantity of salad oil
was slowly dropped to make a thick
cream, which was then thinned to the
proper consistency by vinegar, added as
carefully. Add pepper and salt to taste,
and the mayonnaise was ready to dress
tho salad.
. JIT Some persons who have seen
chrysanthemums in Australia rather
pooh-pooh New York's flower show.
Chrysanthemums eighteen inches in
circumference are not uncommon in Aus

surpass in size and equal in color the finest
exhibited at the flower 6how. All this is
not remarkable, however, in n land where

The Flight of wild Geese.
Their Annual Journey from Arctic Regions to
the South.
Of all the migrating birds none are
more interesting than these great and far
journeyers, which are, with the exception
of the wild swan, the biggest of them all.
One of their mysteries is the wonder how
they contrive to live as they do till
November, in the upper regions of Baffin's
Bay ,and even up to latitude 80 or there
about: for the waters on tho shores where
they live must all be frozen hard and fast
by that time; and under such conditions
how do they get the marine plants on
which they largely subsist ?
However that may be, here they come,
sweeping southward through the cold
autumnal sky, either in a straight line or
(as is quite often the case) in two great
lines, converging to a point at tho head
and flying generally very high. That
one object at the pointed head of the
columns is always an old gander. His
round honk, honk, heard faintly down tho
wind as a veritable voice from the sky,
leads the farmer or tho pedestrian to look
up and to search the gray sky for a sight
of the well-known V-shaped lines of these
sky voyagers "who bring the cold weather
following after them.'' The leader's
frequent call is answered by the members
of his large company in a half gurgling,
indescribable sat of notes as if the
leader had asked : "How are you all get
ting on there behind ?" and his followers
were responding : "All's well, all's well."
They fly over the continent in a direct
line. They take the most direct route,
be it over land or water, and they are
likely to alight for rest and food on some
water, be it on the shore or inland, at a
time when they are not likely to be seen.
But their too sociable calls and noises be.
tray them and in such places as the
ponds and coves about Long Island's
Montauk Point, where they always pre
ferred to stop for a good sociable time,
they have been so mercilessly pursued by
sportsmen that they are less seen there
now than they once wero. They delight,
like the wild swan, in such feedinggrounds
as are afforded by the bays and sheltered
waters, half fresh and half salt, of the ex
tensive tract on the North Carolina coast
known as Albemarle Sound; a region
where they linger long and stay late, and
would perhaps, but for the hunters, many
of them, all winter. Hartford Times.
The New Coinage.
Description of the Accepted Designs for the
Halves, Quarters and Dimes.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 5. Under
the authority contained in tho act of Con
gress approved September 26, 1890, the
Director of the Mints prepared new de
signs for our silver coins which have met
with the approval of the Secretary of tho
Treasury. The new designs are intended
for tho subsidiary silver coins, the half
dollar, quarter and dime. The new de
signs may be described as follows : On
the obverse or face of the coin is an ideal
female head, representative of liberty,
looking to the right with a calm and
dignified expression, with an olive wreath
around the head and a Phrygian cap on.
On a band or fillet over the front of the
head is inscribed the word "Liberty,'
and over the head at the top of the, coin is
the motto, "In God We Trust." Around
the medallion are thirteen stars, repre
senting the thirteen original States, and
at tho bottom the date of coinage. On
the reverse or back of the coin appears
the seal ol the United States as adopted
in 1782, which may be described as fol
lows: An eagle displayed with open
wings, charged on tho breast a shield ar
genta, six palletts gules, a chief azure,
holding in the dexter claw an olive
branch representing peace, and in the
sinister claw a sheaf of thirteen arrows
representing war. In its beak the eagle
holds a scroll containing the motto "E
Pluribus Unum, ensigned above and
about the head, with thirteen stars en
vironed by clouds. This will bo the de
sign of the half-dollar and quarter-dollar,
while the dime will have for the face the
samo head as the half and quarter dollar,
except that in place of the stars there
will bo the inscription, "United States of
America' The motto, "In God Wo
Trust," will be omitted from the dime.
The reverse of the dime will bo the same
cmocxntt $,1tKxXdtUr gU
as at present in use. The design for" the
reverse of tho half dollar and quarter
dollar is a return to the design of almost
the first coinage of the country.

"Since 1866, we venture to say that the
taxes taken from tho whites to educate

Mr. A. E. Wilson, of Morganton, who
is stocking a farm ou Toe river, has re
cently, the Morganton Herald says, pur
chased a large herd of Augora goats, in
Texas, and has bad them taken to
Mitchell to be wintered on the farm.
Mr. A. C. Stroup met with a horrible
accident while attending his cotton gin,
near Lowell, on Friday last. In at
tempting to brush the motes from under
the gin with his hand his right arm was
caught by the saws and mangled up to
the elbow. Alt. Holly News.
As Col. McLaughlin and myself passed
through Matthew's Station, said to be
the largest town in N. C. of its size wo
met there Mr. Joseph Starnes father of
C. R. and J. B. Starnes of Gastonia. He
is 82 years old and looks youngest of the
three, taking everything into considera
tion. He is a fine wood workman. Capt.
Renfrow came to his shop and asked him
if he could make him a set of wagon
wheels that would hold up 5000 lbs. He
told him he would try it. He mado the
wheels and Capt. Renfrow's team came
through Matthews with a steam boiler
on them that weighed 7000 lbs. See
what a man 82 years old can do. That
load just lacked 700 lbs of coming up to
the dutchman's load of iron. Gastonia

Machine-made Eggs that Approach Very Near
the Genuine Article.
Washington, Oct. 27. There has been
quite a sensation in Washington during
the last few days on the subject of arti
ficial eggs. A persoa who claims to have
invented a process for making them
patent duly applied for has been ex
hibiting samples and giving them away
about town. Some dozens have been
served in the clubs, boiled, fried, poached,
and scrambled, and the general verdict is
that it would be impossible for anybody
to distinguish them from real ones. Ex
ternally they look exactly like the sort
laid by hens. Break the shell of a raw
specimen and the contents flop into a
glass in as natural a manner as possible,
the yolk and white unmingled. It has
been claimed that no imitation eggs could
ever be made to "beat up" for cake, but
these do perfectly.
The inventor says that his eggs are,
chemically speaking, a precise reproduc
tion of nature. Corn meal is the basis
of their material. The white is pure
albumen, of courso, while the yolk is a
more complicated mixture of albumen
and several other elements. Inside the
shell is a lining of what looks somewhat
like the delicate, filmy membrane formed
by the hen, while the shell itself is stated
to be made in two halves, stuck together
so artfully that no eye can discover the
joining. ne very germ or tno chicKen,
with unnecessary faithfulness oi imitation,
as one might think, is counterfeited.
The eggs are made of various shapes
and tints. One will be able to buy, as
soon as they are placed on the market,
counterfeit pullets' eggs or eggs laid by
elderly hens, likewise select white eggs
or dark-colored eggs, according to choice.
Most surprising of all, they will be sold
for only ten cents a dozen and they never
get rotten. To confectioners and others
who use largo quantities of eggs the
yolks and whites will be sold separately,
put up in jars, and hermetically sealed.
In this shape they will also be convenient
for household employment.
For the purpose of gaining advertise
ment for these preparations it has been
suggested that the inventor may have
conceived the plan of distributing real
eggs in tho guise of artificial ones. This
is certainly not tho case, however, be
cause there are certain points which ren
der these artificial eggs distinguishable
as such. For instance, the lining is evi
dently made of some sort of silk like tissue,
and one can see that it is woven. The
shell is said to be cast in halves out of a
lime composition, the lining being put in
and filled and the two halves thereupon
joined together.
Chili's President.
Valparaiso, Nov. 5. As was an
nounced a few days ago, tho Liberal
party in Chili won a sweeping victory in
the recent elections, and this fact makes
the election of a Liberal President a fore
gone conclusion.
The constitution of Chili provides that
the electors chosen by the people shall
meet and elect a president of the republic.
The Liberal electors met in caucus yes
terday and nominated for President of
Chili, for the ensuing five vears Admiral
Jorge Moutt. The nomination is eauiv-
alent to an election.
The ceremonies in connection with tho
inauguration of the new President will bo
held in the capital, Santiago de Chili, on
iecemoer zo.
Admirable Moutt ia extremelv nonular
with all classes, and his selection is hailed
with much satisfaction on all sides.

A Farmer of Renown.
. The New York Herald of Wednesday,
publishes the following handsome notice
of a gentleman well-known in this section.
The notice as published in the Herald is
credited by that paper to the JNew Haven
Journal and Courier and is as follows :
"Farming pays it you farm in the right
place and in the right way. William Jj.
Kennedy, of FalliogCreek, Lenoir county ,
N. C, has shown what can be done. At
the close of the war Kennedy was 18
years old. He had carried a musket for
two years, and returned home to fand the
family fortunes broken. Uncomplaining,
he went to work as a day laborer on his
father's plantation. After what might
be termed an apprenticeship of four years
he became ambitious to farm on bis own
account. A 300 acre farm was in the
market, and as payments could be made
by installments young Kennedy bought
the property. Tho prico was to be $30
an acre. By dint of hard work this was
paid for in a few years, and Mr. Kennedy
now owns two plantations of about 1,000
acres each. He puts in all kind of crops,
and sells everything that can be produced
on a Southern farm. He plants two
hundred acres of cotton and obtains a five
hundred pound bale to the acre. One
hundred and sixty acres are given to corn,
40 to wheat, 75 Co oats and 25 to native
grasses. Peas and sweet potatoes are jx
tensively cultivated, the peas bein sowed
on wheat and stubble. He has a herd of
100 cattle, and milks 25 Jersey cows.
Every year he sells $600 worth of butter.
His pigs, of which he feeds about 125,
bring him in asnug sum of money. With
turkeys Mr. Kennedy has great success,
many of the gobblers weighing forty
pounds when they are killed. He feeds
them on wheat bran and clabber. Twenty
men and their wives and children are
employed on the home plantation, the
other being leased on shares. Each man
has a house and garden free and is paid
forty-five cents a day. The women and
children receive from twenty to forty
cents a day."
Norih Carolina's Great Advantages.
North Carolina has advantages which
show that there is nothing to impede her
progress to greatness. Her population is
homogeneous and her climate is unsur
passed. There is every reason that you
should be proud of her boundless wealth
and her boundless possibilities of advance
ment. You are destined to far outstrip
many States of the North. When we
cannot produce articles as cheaply as you
can we must stop.
North Carolina has a climate altogether
suitable for cotton manufacturing; grows
cotton upon watercourses that never
freeze. Your labor is cheap, but not a
bale of cotton should leave North Carolina
to be taken to the North and manufac
tured and then brought back to you for
consumption. That is nothing short of
insanity ; no New England Yankee would
commit such folly. They have lived a
half century upon the blindness of the
South. I want to see your cotton go to
your own mills, and there be spun and
woven. I want to see the South as great
as God designed her to be. Prosperity
can be easily accomplished here, and when
you have it ihe North will join with you
and help you.
North Carolina is essentially an agricul
tural State. Ten years ago when I ex
pressed my confidence in the South I was
jeered at, but now there are men who
realize that I was right. Of all sections
into which I would turn immigration for
development, the South is the one. Es
pecially would I havo tho tenants and
small farmers of Pennsylvania and of the
Northern States to come here instead of
going into the distant West. Extract from

her if she did not stop he would send her
away. 1 he offence was repeated and she

toddled off, and as she reached the door
she turned around, looked firmly at Gov.

Record is in Raleigh at the exposition.
He writes to his paper as follows :
"The visitor to the South today finds a
different significance of the words, "On
to Richmond," than he did a quarter of a
century ago. In the place of a hostile
foe he will be received with open arms
and a hospitality that is unbounded in
its genuineness, a true, warm hearted
people, who are using every human ef
fort to bury the past that contains so
many bitter memories. In place of the
scenes of bloodshed and devastation of
that day, he will witness one of the most
wonderful industrial revolutions that it
is possible his mind can conceive. He
will see cities and manufacturing enter
prises that have sprung up as if by magic,
and a country whoso mineral wealth is
inexhaustible."
Intensive Farming. Alpharetta, Ga.,
Nov. 3. Mr. B. R. Devore is demonstra
ting what intensive farming will do. He
informs us that be has a plat of ground
two and a half acres from which he has
gathered this year 195 bushels of grain,
wheat, corn and peas, which is seventy
eight bushels per acre. The land was
sown in wheat last fall, and after tho
wheat was cut was planted in corn and
peas. Mr. Devore has just finished sow
ing the same field in wheat again.. He
put on it 200 bushels of cotton seed, 600
pounds of guano, and several loads of
barnyard and chip manure. The land
was broken twice and pulverized as much
as possible before the seed was sown.
The land is very dry and could not be
put in as good conditio as was desired.
Land manured as this was hardly ever
fails to make a good yield.

The Postmaster-General's Bricks.
Some time ago ho started a mission in
one of the worst sections of Philadelphia.
He wanted to build a large church, and
while he was willing and able to con
tribute all the money that was necessary,
he thought it would be a good plan to
interest all the Sunday school scholars in
the enterprise. With this end in view he
told the school one Sunday "that he
wanted each scholar to bring three bricks
tho next Sunday as his contribution to the
new building. A brick, my children," he
said, "will only cost a few pennies, and
you can all deny yourselves some little
thing to help along the gooa woric, anu
please the God who has done so much for
you." The next Sunday Mr. VVana
maker's face fairlv beamed when he an
nounced to the Sunday school that over
. . . . . .
3,000 bricks bad boon contributed by ine
irood bova and ffirls of the school. "Now
T" O
trv the same thing again." he said.
am proud, very proud of you," but the
next sundav there was a ciouav resting
on the superintendent's face, for 30 of the
"erood little bovs" had been arrested for
stealing bricks and the owners of the brick
yards in that part of the city had waited
on Mr. Wanamaker in a body and de
manded that he should cancel his request
for bricks, as his scholars were stealing
every one they could lay their hands on.
It was a preat shock of Mr. Wanamaker:
the request was canceled, and the church
built on the good old fashioned Dlan. The
story of " Wanamaker's bricks" is often
told, and it is said the Postmaster-General
enjoys the telling of it himself as much as
anybody. Scientific American.
Gil Baths for Lead Pencils. A new
discovery has been made by railroad clerks
in Pittsburgh regarding the saving of
lead pencils. This will be a great boon
to those who are continually using exple
tives and borrowing pocket knives on
account of the frailty of good, soft lead in
a pencil.
Hivery one who has much rapid writing
to perform prefers a soft pencil, but noth
ing has come to public light so far by
which the lead can to an extent be pre
served. The P., C. C. and St L. clerks
have brought about a new era in the
pencil business ; also have they morally
benefited humanity, inasmuch as they
decrease violation of the third command
ment.
The new idea to preserve a soft pencil
is to take a gross of the useful article and
place them in a jar of linseed oil. Allow
them to remain in soak until the oil
thoroughly permeates every particle of
the wood and lead.
This has the effect of softening the min
eral, at the same time making it tough
and durable, it has been found very
useful and saving, an ordinary pencil
being used twice as long under the new
treatment. Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Great Crop of Apples and Cider in Niagara
County. Lockport, Nov. 7. Niagara
county's yield of apples is in advance of
all the wildest anticipations, and leads any
of the fruit counties. It is estimated that
over 250,000 barrels will be marketed,
besides thousands upon thousands sent to
the large cider mills. The two largest mills
in this part of the State are in this county,
Oliver Brothers' at Lockport and Haynes
& Booth's at Gosport. They make in the
neighborhood of 100,000 barrels of cider
apiece. J. ho large cold storage bouses
here and at suspension Bridge will prob
ably put in 100,000 barrels.
Ihe prices lor apples are not what the
fruit growers desire. From $1.25 to $1 50
are the prevailing prices on greenings and

Jab. II. Webb, Sec'y, Washington, D. C. :
Dkab Sib I have been using; one of your
Zaectropoises for four years, upon a little in
valid son, who has been afflicted with a pul
monary trouble and a dropsical tendency. I
have found great relief for him in the use of
the Electropoise, when the doctors had failed
to give him any permanent relief, and I am
satisfied that but for its use we should have
lost him. I have never seen It fail to reduce
his fever, or to bring: sound sweet sleep. I
would not be without it for many times its
cost. Yours truly, J. C. BUXTON.

to mafce surpass all our former efforts. Known;
that money is scarce we have bought our entire

that everything in the hands of producers is
being sold at a low price, necessarily making
money scarcer, and people will want all for their
money they can get, we have priced this mag
nificent stock lower than ever, and no one will
do themselves justice unless they call and inspect
our stock and get our prices. We have been
handling for several seasons a line of

This season we have bought more than evir,
