'nrocesses with sufficien, fullness and partic-
ularity for manufacturers. This will require
volume, which is now in course of prepar
alton 1t may suffice now merely TO give .
general idea Of the Improvements, and II the
erroneous impressions now prevalent, that
the object sought is impossible. can be re-
moved, an important point will be gained.
American farmers cannot be expected to
grow flax extensively if they must go to the
trouble of prepariu. the liat for market IN
the old way. II, however. fax mills were
now to be generally established over the
country affording a market for unrotted hax
in the straw, the case would be different
The seed alone pays well for the entire crop.
and what they get for the straw IS clear gaia.
While fax grows in all latitudes, cotton Is
limited to hot countries. Europe will soon
make linens 50 cheap that her demand for
cotton will gradually diminish. She now
uses far more linen in proportion to the pop
ulation than we do. Linens are cheaper
there because they are manufactured there.
Linens sell here for about double the price in
Ireland, and if we had not wisely establish
ed cotton manufactures in this country, cot
ton goods would sell for at least double what
they now do
The first establishments for manufacturing
linens by the new mode would be likely to
succeed well. financially, as the goods would
go into the market in competition with other
linens. Twenty large factories would hardly
affect seriously the prices OF linens THIS
view will be confirmed by reference to the
history of cotton manufactures. The earlier
manufacturers Of cotton. with Arkwright's s
invention, made princely fortunes. Grad
ualy their profits fell off by the power of
competition, and now their margin of profits
is very small II is easier to make satisfac
tory estimates showing profit of one hun
dred per cent by the manufacture OF flax in
making either linen. bagging or rope, for
ten years to come. or for one year. than TO
make one showing that cotton can b, manu-
iactured without loss.
By the new mode of manufactures, all flax
straw, coarse aud fine. make fibre equally
fine. Even hemp by this mode will make
ine linen. In the process OF growth. the
intintely fine hbres Tapped upon each
,ther and cemeated by a glutinous substance.
The rotted flax. as now used for linen, con-
sists of flaments or haris of these fbres.
connected together. more or less. by gluton.
and here has been the gres dadlculty In It's
manufacture. This gluton undergoes in the
rotting process only partial di,integratlon
1t occasions a loss in manufacture of from 30
to 50 per cent, and still much remains dis
coloring the fabric. rendering the bleaching
process not only diff ;ult and expensive, but
frequently destructive to the fibre. All this
the new process avoids.
In my next. this topic will be continued,
with some observations on the manufacture
of rope gying and other coarse fabcics
from flax. y. ,. l..

The New York Ledger tells the following
good story:

throat the affectionate old gentleman had
thre eatened to cut from ear 10 ear. /; seems
that the mother. the widowed mother. of this
fugacious son-in law was youthful sweet

him in a peculiarly cruel manner. Hence
his hatred of her son. and his wrath when he
learned that his only daughter. whose dying
mother had confded her 10 his iendeiest care,
had married that son, and his threa: 10 cut
that sons throat.
the ireful father in law had little difficulty
in finding the boarding house Of the youth
full pair but was deferred from visiting them
by learning that they were guarded by the
widow herself-his old and ai,hless betroth- :
ed. After much skirmishlng. however. he
one dsv ventured 10 riBg at the door. when
he supposed the widow had gone out. and
was ushered into the parlor where the wild
ow herself was sitting. With a deep frown
he turned to retire. but was detained by a
small hand laid gently upon his arm. II
was the widows hand. They were soon
seated-not far apart. Explanation was sat
isfactory. She had always loved him; why
was he so rash as TO marry another before
she had time to explain?
Ii was rash. he admitted; nay, more--it
was rrong; and he was not the 10 let a
wrong go unrighted if he could right il; SO
there he was old. to be sure, but tough and

folks say? '.No NATTER said the tough old
fellow, "we'll elope, we have as COED right

Election In Findlay and Ftndiay Town.

The election in the township ant
borough OF Findlay, on Monday last
came off quietly. The ground was
pretty warmly contested by the two
parties, bat no bad feeling was man.
ifested. The Republicans succeeded
beyond their expectations, in elect
ing their entire ticket, except one
Councilman. The majorities on the
township ticket, range from IL to
112. The majorities on the borough
ticket, are much larger than usual.
Last Spring the Republican csndi-
date for Mayor had but eight of a
majority; this Spring, Mr.. Brown,
the Republican candidate, has sev-
enty -four of a majority.
The entire Republican borough
ticket might have been elected, had
not local questions and personal up
position influenced number OF Re-
publicans to spill: on the Councilnen.
1t is astonishing that the party sue
ceed as well as they do, in the face
Of the divisions that have distracted
them for the pas. three years, in
the borough. DR.. Beach, who was
defeated, we believe, made good
officer, but an impression having got
abroad that he would not favor i'm
provements in the lower section OF
the borough, many Republicans were
induced to vote against him. This,
we feel assured, was without found
alton.
