STATISTICS OF MANUFACTUREs.-Asu supple
ment to the census of 1850, giving some inter
esting facts in relation to manufactures, has just
found its way to the public eye. Why they
should have been kept back so long, is best
known to the indolent officials having them in
charge, at Washington: This supplement
shows that the whole number of manufactur-
ing establishments in all the States in 1850
was III 1893; the total amount of capital in
vested in them, S525, las, l09; the cost of cot
ton, wool, hemp, and other raw materials con-
sumed by them, s554, 7s3, 917; and the total
value of the manufactured fabrics S1,0l0, $685.
779. The number of male operatives was
713,454, and of females, 225, 491-to whom
wages were paid to the amount of S232, 957,
440 per annum.
The State which takes the lead in manufac-
lures is New York, whose products amounted
to two hundred and thirty-seven million dol
lars next Pennsylvania, with one hundred
and fifty-five million; third, Massachusetts,
with one hundred and fifty-one million; and
fourth, Ohio, with sixty three million. No
other State exceeds fifty million in value
Rhode Island exhibits the greatest value of
manufactured goods in proportion to her popu-
lation, being twenty-five million dollars worth,
or one and half million to every ten thousand
inhabitants. Massachusetts stands second in
proportion to population, Connecticut third.
and Mississippi last.

20 The destruction by fire of the Exchange
Hotel, at Hartford, brief account of which
we gave yesterday, was the work of an incen-
diary. The fire was discovered at four o'clock
in the morning Some of the inmates barely
escaped with their lives, minus other clothing
than their night dresses. An old gentleman
of 70 years escaped by letting himself down
the wall, outside, by making rope of the bed
clothes. The hotel was built in 1894, and for
many years was considered one of the best
public houses in New England. 1t was the
greatsta Office, from which over thirty coaches
left for all parts of the country. Since the adj
vent of Railroads, the old hotel has gradually
declined in business and importance, and now
the incendiary's torch has levelled it with the
earth. The last owner was DR.. Marcy, of
New York. 1t was insured for 81, 500, about
half its value.

CoTToN.-The receipts of the crop are now
nearly million bales in excess of last year,
the aggregate at last dates being 1889, 784 bales
against 1,372518 at this time last year. 1t is
thought our own mills will this year consume
10000 bales, or 100000 more than in the
year 1856, when the consumption was the
largest ever known in the United States. Last
year the consumption was only 452, 900 bales.
The Boston Traveller gives the following
advice to those interested:
"Our manufacturers are still doing a fair bust
ness, but they should keep good lookout for
any falling off in the demand upon the Man
chester manufacturers for India and China, as
this would soon turn the tide of business, which
is at present kept up by this extraordinary de-
mand, no doubt to great extent speculative,
though the consumption of the European
soldiers and sailors in that part of the world is
unquestionably large"

A RASH SUIcIDE.-On Thursday after
noon, as the freight train on the New Bedford
and Taunton Railroad had proceeded about
seven miles from this city, young man was
seen walking along the route outside of the
railroad track at some distance ahead. Before
the train had got to him. he stepped into the
middle of the road, took off his cap, and wav-
ing it over his head threw it upon the ground
then deliberately laying his neck upon the
track, awaited the almost instant approach of
the train, which passed over him, causing his
instant death. The body was placed in the cars
and taken to Taunton. 1t was identified as
that of John Martin, a young man about 20
years of age, belonging in this city. His
mother widow, resides on State street.
We understood that he had in the early part
Of the day declared his intention to proceed to
Boston, and accordingly took his seat in the af-
ternoon passenger train, from which he was
excluded at distance of about three miles
from this city, for non-payment of his fare.
He then proceeded several miles on foot, until
overtaken by the freight train as above mem
toned. There can be no doubt that his rash
and suicidal act was from momentary aber-

DoINGs AT THE HosPITAL-Our friends
at the Hospital are enjoying round of amuse-
ments this winter, such as renders their CON
dition, in this respect, somewhat enyiable.-
We have already referred to quite number of
these entertainments, and have now to notice
another of the excellent series of scenic exhi-
billions, now in progress at the chapel, which
took place last evening. 1t is saying great
deal, to say that the tableaux on this occasion,
representing domestic, national, and Shaks-
pearian scenes, exceeded in splendor those of
any previous evening. The general absence
of the tragical, and of all parts of an exctabe
nature, is very commendable feature in these
exhibitions, especially in view of the char
acter of the audience, in whom an appeal to
the sorrowful and mournful feelings, in
which a majority of the class to whom
they belong, are always too apt to indulge
would not be advisable. Family devo-
tion," that most admirable domestic scene
from real life, in which the venerable parents,
with their children and childrens children
surround one common altar, while hovers near
them the guardian angel of the household
waiting to bear up the expectant prayer to the
mercy-seat, was again represented last even
ing, and might still be repeated with good eff
feet, for it is a scene of surprising beauty
awakening in the breast the dearest memories
of life, and waiting us upon the wings of the
most holy thought, back to the sweet associa-

profitable intellectual repast

of seeing them. 1t will be open this after

THE Rosebud IN THE CoFFIN-Some
weeks since we published in The SPY beau
tiful incident connected with the burial of lit
tie child at Sharon. AS the reader will re-
member, rosebud was placed in its hand, in
the coffin and when the parents went to take
last look of their beloved offspring, the bud
had become full-blown rose. This event, so
typical of immortality, is thus rendered in verse
by one of our lady correspondents
They placed in its hand, so cold and white
From ''Sharon's Rose bud most bright
Then closed the cothn-id and said:
"The future looks dark, for baby is dead.n
A few sad hours had passed away,
And they came to look on the ifeless clay,
And to kiss the dear face, white and cold,
Ere the dark dark tomb their treasure should hold
They gaze! and their tears now cease to flow,
For now their souls assuredly know
That cruel Death has lost has power,
For the bud on its bosom is now flower
Now upward they look, with Faiths clear eye,
To the gardens OF beauty, beyond the sky;
And they know that beneath their Fathers care
Their sweet rosebud is blooming fair.

New INvENTIoNs.-We have had the oppor-
tunity of examining the models of two new
machines, recently invented by our townsman,
j. C. Stoddard one OF them an adjustable
horse hoe, so fitted as to pass between the
rows, and answering the double purpose of a
plough and hoe; doing the work of both in the
same time that is required for ploughing alone,
and with but little increase of power What
Mr. Stoddard claims as one of the peculiar ex-
celencies of the machine, is, that it is adjusta-
Bile, instantly, to the width of the rows so as
always to perform its work perfectly, whether
the rows are wide or narrow. The other ma
chine is quite curiosity in its way, exhibiting
much mechanical ingenuity, and, if it should
answer Mr.. Stoddard's expectations in practi-
cal use, it will be a greater gain to the farming
interest than even the horse rake or the now
ing machine. This is a machine, primarily,
for planting and harvesting potatoes, but may
be used also for horse hoe, yet on a principle
differing from that of the above named ma
chine. For planting the machine burrows the
ground, drops the potatoes, few or many in the
hill, as may be desired, spaces the hills near
together or farther apart, or drops the potatoes
in drills or rows, and covers them, at any depth
that may be preferred.
For harvesting potatoes, a portion of the ma
chine used for planting is removed, and anoth-
er apparatus substituted. This is the work of
but few minutes. The machine is then in
order, and first pulls the vines by an arrange
ment at the forward part, then takes the pota-
toes from the ground, raises them, cleans off
the dirt, asserts them, and deposits the differ
ent sizes in separate apartments, ready to be
transferred to the basket or cart, when the re-
ceptacles attached to the machine are full. This
is all accomplished at the same time and is
done as fast as the horses will pass over the
ground. 1t leaves the earth in fine condition
for the next crop.
By emitting the planting apparatus, and that
for elevating and asserting the potatoes, the
machine becomes simply plough and horse
hoe, to which adjustable wings may be added
to accommodate it to any desirable width of
rows.
The importance of such machines, in reliev-
ing the farmer of SO heavy portion of his work,
just at the season of its greatest pressure, and
when it is often necessary to have it done up
quickly, must be apparent to every one, and
create an interest in Mr.. Stoddard's entire sue.
cess.
1t may be proper for us to add, that Mr.
Stoddard is the inventor of the Calliope, the
steam music machine whose sound is now
heard on board the principal steamboats, on our
great Southern and Western rivers, and which
has already been brought into use in Europe.
