] OR Facteries


Itis said matches are made in Heaven, bu,
hhaslong been suspected that there are good
many made elsewhere. That such is the fac,
INV body can ascertain by going to the fac
,ory Of A. n. BurAans & Co., on valley-st.
Messrs. B. / Co., although their buildings
are not extensive, carry on quite large and
xithal lucrative business. They employ some
thirteen hands IN the various processes Of
cutting and preparing the matches, making
the boxes, labelling and packing. The pro-
CESS Of manufacture, although simple, does
require skill, first to produce a good article,
and second, to acquire all the improvements
and use necessary industry to make it pay !
In both these particulars Messrs. B. & Co.
have succeeded we'll. Although but six years
since they commenced the business here,
their matches meet with wide sale, not only
In this State, but Missouri, Illinois, and Min
nesota. They have orders even from St.
Louis, and many river towns below where
their matches are esteemed. And no better
can be made any W here.

Asking Questions.

inquired gentleman with carpet bag, of &
bury Hibernian, standing on the railroad
station.
<.Faith, "was the reply, otis l that can d.
that same. You ee you just go up this stree,
till you come to Thaddy O'Mulligan's chop.
Them
"But don't know where Thaddy O'Mulli-
gan's shop, as you call it, is.''
30, faith, why didn't | think Of that
We'll, then your honor must keep on till We
get to the apple woman's stand, on the cor
ncr Of the brick Church it is, and keep that
on the right and 60 on till We get to the big
watch, and mind you don't fall into the cell
lar thereby, then kape on little further till
ye come to a big tree and after that you
turn to the right or left, by the bones of Saint
Patrick, don't know which,"
The traveller turned in despair to long,
lank Jonathan who was standing whiting,
close BY, and made the same inquiry of him.
"Aia-be you're going to put up there 2''
queried Jonathan.
ssYes, intend to.''
ssDid you come from far off?''
"Yes, from Philadelphia, was the impa-
tent reply. ssBut can you tell me where
tho"
"Got any more baggage?" said the imper-
turable Yankee.
$40, this is all,' said the traveller, con-
vinced that the only way to get the direction
was to submit to the questioning.
"Going to stay long?''
"Coudn't say" was the reply, in rather
crusty manner. sBut Pm in hurry, and
would like to be dirccted-,,
"Wait minute. | reckon you're mar
ned man, amt you?"
"Ne, am not, and now won't answer
anything more till you have answered.
'Well, SQUIRE" said the Yankee, coolly,
"Pd like to oblige you. but the truth is,
have never been in the city before myself.'
Ia less than ton minutes, carpet bag with
man attached was seen hurrying away from
the vicinity. He didn't find asking directions
Of any particular advantage.

First, as tocrops; it has always been found
that season Of severe drought has benef-
cial effect on the soil. so that bountiful crops
are pretty sure to be obtained the following
year. An explanation of this we cannot
attempt now, but we will in our next.) Be-
sides, the drought Of the past year taught
some yaluabls lessons in regard to the impor-
lance Of deeper and better tillage, which
most farmers will put In practice the COM
ing season. i've shall say more about this,
also, befole long.) Then, the hard times
have had the effect to drive men back to
,he.r farms and to industry, who before i'm
agined that they were rich enough to live
more genteely, or smart enough to live more
easily at other employmentE This, together
With the cheaper cost of labor, and the con-
tinued high price of farm products, must
tend to secure a large increase of crops the
present year, supposing the season proves or
dlnariy favorable; and in regard to the
great staple, wheat, already in the ground,
it, present appearance is quite as good, We
believe, az in the average of seasons.
Second, as to prices for the coming sea-
son, We think there is blu: little prospect of
any decline from present rates, and much
probability that prices will advance, espec-
ally OF such articles as are suited for export.
VI course it is impossible at this time to pre-
Diet what will be the extent of the war move
hents in Europe the coming season, or to
what extent these movements will create a
foreign demand for our products; but from
oil that We can see at present, We are of the
opinion that our surplus bread stuffs and
provisions will be wanted to feed the armies
and the suffering people of other countries:
and If our crops are abundant, the tide Of
gold and silver that has for the past year
lowed SO continuously from this country,
VIII DO reversed, and with its return will
come return of prosperity, andth resump-
aon o. our public Improvements.
such are our hopes and expectations for
me fsture; but these results can only be Sc
cured b. industry and frugality, so we must
al learn to labor and to wait for s'the good
tune coming boys.-[ Ohio Cultivator.
