-. CONCENTRATED LYE.4A firm in Pitts
burg have recently commenced manufac
turing an article called "Highly Goucend
trated Lye."! !-, It is very good for making
Soap, if the directions are carefully OBJ
seryed. and IS sometimes used in a diluted
state in pfitsing- Offices, to clean the type.
We'll, we infer from the following article,
which we clip from; the KanaDha Valley
:4Star. that poor. Rumble has. purchased a
:, quani y Of it, and does not understand its
use., Instead Of .diluting. and rubbing it
oyer, the type,,ws suspect Fthes fellow has
e.swallowed the stuff itself, and is working
it off through the columns Of his. paper.
The resemblance, between the following
editorial and highly concentrated lie, ," is
peculiarly striking: We recommend his
friends, if the symptoms increase, to ad
minister water, in large doses. 1t needs
to be dilutsd=coaS idetaJiy.D

.,~ r.sA lot of Kanawha salt. brought here
Yesterday, on the Quarter, - Immediately
FOUND a purchaser az is cents per bushel,
who reshipped it last night for Pomeroy
and Marietta, on the Baltimore. This is
Z, remarkable freak in tfale--selfing snlt' to
manufacturers of the articteIiI4
The act, iss eorrecGly stshed AS .we are
infnpnaoh hu thu nfiisprS off The s. Ina -
but the Commercial is wrong in classifying
this among "the freaks in trade" The
true explanation is in the superior quality
OF Kanawha sail for curing meat.
~ The Pomeroy works had been in oper-
alton but a few years before it vas ascer-
"tained, by fair trial that the salt was un-
suitable for packing purposes; -consequen-
,tly the prudent farmers in that vicinity
have almost universally sought Kanawha
> salt. This is not only the case at Pom
indeed. throughout the whole west, the
.prudt mt practical men have expressed The
fame preft e'.ce: 20 'A' ~ ~. a. t.~,
Al Wheeling the dilapidated remains of
i. some 2O0O bushels. Pomcroy salt ups1ld
for two or three years past commemorate
Is in icrily. Instead OF buying this, the
POih OCo OLD "CtiO W pay
Sets p rtushel more for Kanawha than the
vgPomei oya was offered to .then4-a!l the
while steadily refusing, tle Pomeroy salt
price. The Parkers burg dealers have ex-
pressed the same preference We might
enumerate examples were it necessary.
81 AT thetime Of the sale and shipment
spoken Of by the Commercial, we learn
that PomeIoy salt was freely offered at ii f.
teen cts per bdshel 1t is no "freak in
trade" when consumers will pay more for
good article, than; forf an indiferent one.
,. = Hitherto the, P0meroy salt jhas, been
bought by our Kanawha salt Companies
and has been marketed in connection with,
and otter sold, by a little management Of
agents, as, Kanawha salt; but :his year the
two articles stand before CONSUMERS upor
theirsrespectiye merits. We viii know
more at the close of the pork season when
estimates can be made Of the favor which
each article meets lin, market by the
amount of each held over unsold.
70 AS far as we can learn the Pomeroy salt
II made with great care: is quite fair hand
some, to the eye, is good for stock and fol
tableuse: butts not safe for curing me al
or for-saIlng butter. The salt business is
one ofimportaneseto this, Valley and we
will take occasion to, refer to it again whcr
we have time and space to do the subject
Justice. t<@ &t,z4-
We have only to add that If the Sal
Manufacturers Of Kanawha had any thing
TO do with the publication of the article
above quoted, they must be ina dssperat
condition-that's all. We ''.i - ,a@ ,@.,..
