The "home made fabricated by the industrious
hands Of our wives and daughters. Blu, one man
within our limits has capital invested in salt works
and The production of iron gives employment 10
ninety .nl"e persons only. In the single gIass house
in the State. but thirty persons are employed
and less than one hundred men are dependent on
the manufacture Of leather for their support.
These comprise the interests, and the humble, of

To proec, ninety nine producers of iron, we

four cents per pound for nails, spikes, axles mill
irons, &c. and thirty per cent on chains. To add

"For the first time, we believe since the seltle-

favor of Cincnni,i $4,000 sight exchange on New
York, Of the frs, character was sold in thi, city
last week, at l.2 per cent, discount. The I'M
mencc amount o! valuable produce now regularly
exported from this point, will have tendency TO
keep it in this favorable position, The introduction
and rapid extension Of the lard oil business, alone
saves 500, 900 to the West annually"
We'll what does all this prove' Why. that all
the groans Of the wings about Exchanges, reg

A dealer in lumber,
Fell in love with lemenine printer,

And her knuckles did squeeze,
But for Stacey she cared not splinter.
Says Stacey says he,
"'Ihere was never a tree
So graceful and slender as Nancy
My heart was rs hard
As Ills TO burn lard,
But you've made an impression, fancy"
Then Nancy did say,
"The impression may stay,
But be off. sir, yourself, and be quick;
Aud think when you're gone
That the tree stands alone,
And that Nancy will stick to her stick"
When Stacey Macomber
Went home TO his lumber.
He thought it was time to be dead
Made figure Of four
With timber score,
And pulled j, right down on his head.

This table shows that the currency Influenced the
amour, of foreign inporlalions, Universal cSpc-
renee will show this always to be the fact. When
the currency is expanded, prices are raised and
it becomes profitable to import foreign goods and
when the currency is reduced, prices go down,nnd
foreign imporialions are no longer probably made
and decrease in proportion to the decrease ofcur.
rency. 1t follows, then, that the amount o. i'm
