Judge Longstreet says =" Small is the sum
that is required to patronize newspaper, and
most amply remunerated is the patron. | care
not how humble and UMPIRE ending the gazette
which he takes, it is next to impossible to fill a
sheet fifty-two times year, without putting in
to it something that is worth the subscription
price. Every parent whose son is off to school
should be supplied with newspaper. | well
remember what difference there was between
those of my schoolmasters who had, and those
who had not access to newspapers. Other
things being equal, the first were always deci-
dedly superior to the last. The reason is plain
they had command of more facts. A news
paper is a history of cnrrent events, as well as
curious and interesting miscellany, aud which
youth will peruse with delight when they read
nothing else"

Ohio now sends by way of Dunkirk, over the
New York and Erie Railway, her chickens and
turkeys to New York City Market as a consid-
cradle profit to the enterprising owners, the
price of chickens in Ohio being a dime, and in
New York from 30 to 81 cents. Three cents
covers the cost of transportation. This is not
the only profit; the western chickens are so Ella
ted at the different value set upon their heads
in the eastern cities, that they lay large eggs
every day on their journey, out of gratitude to
their owners.

JENNY LIND AT DETRoIT.-The Detroit Trib-
une, of Monday, says that the agent of Jenny
Lind was in the city, on the Saturday previous,
and gave assurance that the fair songstress
would give one or more concerts there, about
the first of October
The use of the first Presbyterian church has
been rendered for the purpose. AS it is not
probable that Jenny Lind will visit the interior
towns of Michigan, general rush may be ex.
pected from different parts of the State to hear
her at Detroit. Adrian Watchtower.

MANUFACTURES OF Stoves IN ALBANY.-The
Albany Register publishes some statistics of
the manufacture of stoves by two firms in that
city.
"The engines used in each are of forty-fve
horse power. The three furnaces, which are
used eleven months, in each, melt forty tons of
iron per day. The average number OF moulds
on each floor is thirty-fve hundred. The am
cunt of iron used by each is three thousand
tons per year, which, at $24 per ton, amounts
TO an expenditure of $4,000 in each for iron
alone. Each part of the bushes is carried on
in these establishments, from the melting Of the
iron to the finishing up of the stoves, and the
average number Of stoves manufactured by
them amounts to fifty-ive annually. The diff
ferent number of pieces of castings will num-
Der one million five hundred thousand yearly.
The number of men employed in both estab-
lishments is from four hundred and fifty to five
hundred, and the wages in each establishment
amounts to 100000 annually The average
sales of each establishment amount from $3.50
900 to 100000 annually. There are at the
least calculation, fifteen thousand tons Of iron
used in the stove manufacture in that city, and
the number manufactured reaches one hundred
and fifty thousand annually. The aggregate
sales amount TO over million and a half of dol
lars. The number Of hands employed is four
teen hundred"

A FORTUNATE EDIToR.-The editor of the
Montain Banner, published at Rutherford, N
c., being about to start on ramble in search Of
health "and vigor, both of body and mind, and
subscribers for the Banner" briefly announces
The fact to his readers, and then adds:
During our absence our paper will not suf
fer, but, on the contrary, will probably be much
bettered. Our better half, who has been pro-
nounced by competent judge the smartest
man of the two" will have jurisdiction over its
columns. She is a staunch democrat, and deci
dedly opposed to the new innovation on female
costume; and our only fear is that when we
return our readers will insist upon our going
again."

Though printer may be sitting all day, yet
in his own way he is u great traveller, Cor nj
least his hand is,) as we shall prove. A good
printer will set 5000 ems day, or about "a, 900
letters. The distance travelled over by his hand
will average about one foot per letter, going to
the boxes in which they are contained, and of
course returning, making two feet for every let
ter he sets. This would make distance each
day of $4,000 feet, or a little more than nine
miles; and in the course of the year, leaving
out Sundays, that member travels about three
thousand miles.

A HOPE IN HEAVEN.

When golden hopes delusive ray
Has from the heart been rudely riven,
And rainbow dreams have fed away,
How sweet to have "a hope in heaven"
When crushed are all the buds of earth,
To which the soul was fondly given,
And prospects persisted in their birth,
How sweet to have "a hope in heaven"
And when upon the couch Of death,
The spirit from the body driven,
We must resign our fleeting breath,
How sweet to have a hope in heavenp

Sin is kind Of insanity. So far as it goes,
it makes man an irrational creature-it makes
him fool. The consummation of sin is, ever,
and in every form, the extreme Of folly. And
it is that most pitiablc folly which is pulled up,
with arrogance and sef-suliiciency.

N, The iIth instant, in West Feliciana

79years.
On Monday, the 18th Of April, a. hei
resdruce. near WoodVille, after a lingering
illness. Mrs. MARGARET DuNLoF, in the 62d
year Of her age.
The subject Of this notice was born near
Baton Louge, Louisiana, but spent the
greater part Of her life in Adams county
Mississippi. Il is now about three years
since She removed to this county, where she
became widely known and endeared to
many hearts.
By nature, Mrs. Dunlop was endowed
with a clear and active mind, with good
Judgment, with an energetic will ana WIN

con6dence and affection of al who knew
her II was her aim and effort to make
others happy, and to be useful in her ap-
pointed sphere.
Religious principle was for years the
main spring of her conduct, and the source
of her usefulness. The lustre of a cheerful, /,
intelligent piety was ever shed over her
character, and its influence was felt by all
within her reach.
Owing to long continued lndisposltion,
she was, in a measure, secluded from society
and the privilege of public worship; but her
affection for ner friends and for the house of
God did not diminish. The cause Of Christ
was dear to her heart, and one Of her last
public acts was to unite her prayers with
others for Gods blessing upon the church
and the world. ,
But now her work is done. She has !
rested from her labors, and her memory is ;
blessed. Her family is deeply bereaved. E
Her friends will long mourn her loss. The a
Church to which she belonged will miss her C
PRAYERS, and her silent influence for good {
