Dun cotemporaries of the Wing press are making
vigorous efforts to promote, in every section of the
country, the circulation of campaign papers, hav-
ing direct refercneeto the ah-important Prcsiden-
tial contest which is rapidly approaching. m view
Of this fact, as well as of the approaching State
election, to counteract in measure, those cheap
incendiary publications. and also to promote the dis
senination Of true republican principles, we pro-
pose to put the price OF paper during the cam
paign to point at below cost, so as to place it
within the reach of erery man, however oppressed
with poverty and the pecuniary endorsements in
cident to settlers in new country. The Reporter,
thcrefore-beginning Immediately after the Demo-
cratic state Conventions which meets on the first of
June, and ending with one number containing COM
pietc returns from all the States, after the close of
the campaign-will be sent to new subscribers, and

"YANKEEs ARE HARD TO BEAT.'-We
have seldom heard Of a better illustration Of
the ingenuity and perseverance ofthe Yankees,
than is exhibited in the following effort of one
of the Contractors of the Lewiston and Water
vile Rail Road, to overcome an unexpected
obstacle.
Mr.. Briggs, of Lewiston, who contracted to
build the bridge over the Androscoggin at
Lewiston, intended to haul the stone for one of
the abutments on to a rocky island in the middle
of the river during the winter, when the river
is usually frozen sufficiently to admit the pas
sage OF teams but the mild weather has preven-
ted the ice from forming OF the usual thickness
He was desirous to avail himself of the late
snow 10 haul the rocks of which the abutment
is TO be built, directly on to the island, and not
to be compelled to boat them over on the rapid
current. TO overcome this difficulty, he turn
ed on, his men in the night, and threw water
over it. This froze rapidly, and by following
( up the progress, he has made snow q. ice
track of sufficient thickness and strength to
sustain SIX OK teams he ayily laden with stone.
We learn that large number Of teams are
now employed. and that all the stone will be

is an article of exclusive Mexican manuiac-

none OF the fuzzy appearance OF common wool

cl and will, undoubtedly, ultimately become
fashionable al the north. The blankets are

MANUFACTURING LAW IN New Yonx.-A.

MANUFACTURING LAW IN New Yonx.-A.
general manufacturing law has just becn enao-
ted by the Legislature of New York. 1t
removes the personal liability, which has hiih-
erto prevented the formation of manufacturing
companies in the State Of New York, and
confident hopes are entertained by its friends
and promoters, that it will give new impulse
to manufacturing operations, for which the
State possesses so many natural facilities.
The law requires that all capital shall be paid
in in cash, and that the debts must never exceed
the capital Until the capital stock is thus
paid in, stockholders are to be individually LA
bic. Trustees or Directors are individually
liable, if dividend is declared, the payment Of
which would diminish tic capital stock, or il
they suffer the indebtedness Of the company TO
exceed its capital.
