MANuFAeTURB OF RUM.-Probably
the only manufacture in the Northern
States, which is carried on profitably at
the present time, is that of rum, and this
was never before 50 profitable as at the
present time. The distilleries all through
the country have orders for many weeks
and months ahead, at prices which yield
them hundred per cent preft. This
state of things has been occasioned by
the prohibition of the distillation of grain
in France and Belgium, which has caused
large orders from those countries for rum
from the United States. Every packet
ship from New York for France and Ger
many, now carries out all the rum which
can be had in the market as part of her
cargo. The article sells at 47a4S cents
a gallon, and the profit may easily be
calculated when it is known that the
molasses costs but little more than 90
cents a gallon, and 100 gallons of mo-
tssIes Will make 95 gallons of rum. A
large portion of the tnolasses in the
United States has just been brought up
on French account. At Portland 5000
hogsheads were purchased last week for
shipment to France.

MURDER FORTY WARS AGO

i
The recent excitement occasioned in
this city and vicinity, by the sudden and
mysterious disappearance Of Miss Emma
Moore, has brought to our attention an
account of horrible outrage perpetrated
more than forty years ago, at Athens,
Greene county, N. Y, the perpetrators
of which were never detected, and so far
as they are concerned, the affair is still
shrouded in mystery, probably never to
give SO much as is known of the affair, in
brief, condensed from a statement pub
lished in Hudson paper at the time.
Those who can see the motive for the dis
appearance of Miss Moore inconsistent
with her safety, may learn in this dread.
full tale of fact, of a tragedy quite as hor-
rible as the most amongst us have imag-
ined the missing woman to have been
sacrificed in, and discover that the pas.
sion which prompted one still burns
fiercely, and may have induced the COM
mission of more. But to the story:
Athens is Aourishing and ancient
village on the Hudson river, opposite the
city of Hudson, and will long be remem.
bered as nearest to the scene of the sad dis.
aster to the steamer Swallaw. In August,
1913, Miss Sally Hamilton, an accom-
plished and beautiful daughter of Samuel
Hamilton, Esq, in her twentieth year,
went to her sisters, half mile from her
fathers house in Athens, to visit. At
eight o'clock in the evening, she started
homeward, accompanied by some female
friends, two of whom, elderly ladies, ac-
companied her to within twenty rods of
her fathers door, in a thickiy settled
street in the village. She was never seen
alive after this time. She was not missed
until the next day, as her parents sup.
posed she had remained with her sister
all night, and her sister thought she had
returned to her fathers.
Great excitement followed the announce
ment Of her disappearance, and search
