SALT MANUFACTURED WITHOUT KE4
GROESl

The Syracuse (Onondago) Gazette,
speaking oil the increasing manutactore
Of Sal, at Salina, and the works adjacent,
says the manufacture is yet comparatlve-
ly in embryo. Many strangers have vi
sited the works the present season, TO
witness the process both by solar evapo-
ration, and boiling. The following cal
culation will give an idea OF The amount
now manutaclured.-At Sahna there are
about fiiy blacks of buildings-at Liver
pool twenty-ai Gsddes thirteen, averag-
ing fourteen kettles each, and making in
the whole 80 blocks; each IF hese is
capable OF making 40 bushels of salt per
day, amounting to three thousand three
hundred and twenty bushels, or six hum
dred and sixty-iour barrels, which COM
mands a quick sale at As. and As. cd.
per barrel, making the amount manutac-
tured in day equivalent 10 one thousand
one hundred and sixty two dollars, and
exceeding three hundred thousand dol
lars year. 1t is expedent to add, that
formerly many complaints were made,
respecting the quality of the salt, which
has been obviated by the laws enacted
the last session of the legislature, direct
ing the manner of inspection, which rem
ders il impossible for the manufacturer,
if disposed, to defraud the public, as no
salt can be sold previous to inspection,
and the inspectors are careful in the dis
charge of their duty.

SCHOOL FUND RECLAIMED.


o. Thursday LIST two boxes Contain
ing one thousand five hundred and fifty
Ave dollars and seventy-tive cents of the
money robbed from the State b ,nk IN
March last, was discovered by colored
man, conc called in bank of manure Ia
ken from the stable OF the late John +.
M'Collum. One of these boxes was ex-
posed, and from all appearances had re-
manned in this situation for some cons-
derable time, which probably led to the
discovery. The boxes were deposited
in the Bank, and found to contain their
original amount. 1t is believed that
these boxes have never been opened
since they were taken from the Bank
There still remains los, Of the School
Fund, the sum Of $3.50. The loss sus-
tanned by the Rscei, er ofpublic moneys
at this place, and Individuals, is abou
Sl344. There rem aims little doubt but
that more than one person was concern
ed il this robbery, and that the balance
has taken another direction.

A public dinner was given on the 4th u't
at UniontUwn, Pennsylvania, to the Hon. Az
BERT G,LLArIN, on his return from France
to his former residence in that place. " Among
the guests who honored the occasion by their
presence, was the Hon. Jesse y. Thomas,
Senator in Congress from the state of Hi
nois." The following are among the toasts:
The protection of National Industry-The
policy which has enriched other nations, can
not empoverish this.
This toast may have been intended as CON-
pliment to our Senator, for defeating, by his
vote, the bill for the encouragement and pro-
lection of domestic manufactures
Albert Galain--Our distinguished guest.
His services at home and abroad have fulfilled
the high expectations of his country. We cor
daily welcome his return among us.
When this toast was drank, (says the Genius
Of Liberty Mr.. GallatiE arose and delivered
the following brief, but appropriate and i'm
pressive address:

dence, brought me into public notice, and af-
forded me the opportunity of devotng the
best part of my life to the public service of our
comaon country. TO fad that at this time,
and after my long absence from amongst you,
you still entertain the same favorable opinion
Of me, affords me indeed the highest gratfca-

ter to be competent TO this most impor-
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1823-10-04
