SINGULAR MANUFAcTURE.-It is proba-
bly, very little known that an extensive man
ufacture is carried on in this neighbortood
by which old rags are made into new cloth.
Yet such is the fact, and to SO great an ex-
tent does this manufacture prevail, that at
least five million pounds weight of woollen
rags are yearly imported from Germany, and
other parts, for this purpose. The rags are
subjected to machine which tears them to
pieces, and reduces them nearly to their
primitive state of wool (; and they are then
with a small admixture of new wool, again
cardeG, slub0ed, spun, and woven; and they
make cloth not very strong, but answering
very well for paddings, shoddies, and other
purposes of that nature. The ingenuity
deserves praise which thus resurrectionisea
cloth, and gives 1t second existence. There
is nothing whatever of fraud in the manu-
facture it is ajustifable economy to make
the material 60 as far as it will. The man.
ufacture is carried on chiefly in the neigh
borhood of Batiey.--Leeds Mercury.

FeHoU- Citizens Of Virginia AS the
Executive Committee of the Virginia
State Temperance Society, we address
you in behalf of that cause; the final sue
cess of which, is to do so much to bless
the country and the world: We mean
the cause of total abstinence from ardent
Ispirits. III you ask US why we make this
duplication, we reply, by offering the fol-
lowing reasons
Ardent spirits is at this moment bur-
dening and disgracing our country with
three hundred thousand drunkards or one
to every forty of our whole population, as
it stood by the census of 1880. Virginia
contained in 1880, 638-9O4 free white in.
habitants; her proportion of Incorporate,
then, is 10,472. Is this estimate of one
to forty too larger We think pot.
Ii has made at least two hundred thou
sand paupers in the United States; many
of whom once enjoyed competence if
not wealth, and would still have enjoyed
lit, if it had not been for ardent spirit:
1t has annually destroyed the lives OF
thirty thousand of our citizens, con-
signing them to drunkard's untimely
grave, and multiplying widows and or
phans to the number at least of one hun.
dred and fifty thousand:
1t has made an annual requisition upon
our population of at least thirty thousand
citizens to fill the places of those who had
fallen, not 10 defence of their country's
rights, or of the liberties of man, but to
crafty an Unsuitable and degrading appe.
lite !:
1t has filled the jails and State prisons,
and penitentiaries of the u. States, with
more than seventy thousand criminals,
who have been sednced to sacrifice charac.
ter, hope, society and friends, for strong
drink, and compel the community for its
own safety to deprive them of liberty and
the rights of ffeemen:
1t has involved an annual waste of
property to the amount of thirty millions
OF dollars and more, as the first cost of
ardent spirits, to say nothing about the
immense sums paid for it by those who
purchase IL Dy the glass, at taverns and
groceries, amounting TO more than twice
that sum-:
1t has burdended the country with a
tax oil from twenty to thirty millions of
dollars Tor the support of occasional and
permanent paupers, made so directly or
indirectly by ardent spirits.
1t has occasioned a yearly expense of
from fifteen to twenty millions of dollars
in the shape of fees TO lawyers, pay to iu-
ries, judges, sherifis, constables, &c., all
incurred for the punishment of crime, oc.
casoned 10 consequence of intemperance.
These two last items of expense fall upon
the sober and industrious portion of socie-
ty,ln the shape of taxes. Recent exam
nations in every poor-house and Jail of
N. Y. State, shows that two thirds of the
money raised by taxes, is chargable TO
drunkenness:
In fine, it has palsied the industry, bur.

Mr.. Montgomery, the jailor of the coun.

ton, which he says was written by one OF
the prisoners. The falling of the stones
and muscles, he assures US, was witness.

some of whom are in confinement for
debt, others charged with crimes. He,
himself, was in the country on that even-

he picked up muscles on the next MORN
