HULL Il THoRsoN.-The way these en-
terprising young men are enlarging their
business shows that they fully understand
the art of trading with people so as to
secure advantage on both sides and con-
stantly increase their custom. Their new
stock of dry goods, Competing, &c, IS SO
heavy that they found their capacious
store too small to hold them, and have
removed their crockery department to
Freeman's block on La Sale street, where
they are now offering the heaviest and
finest lot of crockery every seen in this
city

WALL PAPER, &c.-As this is the time
when people paint, burnish UP, and new
paper their houses, it is strictly in order
to remark, that about the finest new stock
of Wall Paper ever seen in Ottawa has just
been received at the establishment of
SETH c. EARL d SeS, on Main street, west
of La Sale. All the necessary paints and
oils to do the painting up handsomely can
also be had there. A new lot of kerosene
lamps, with the best as well as well as
cheapest oils, also to be found there.

CLorHINc.-Now, then, there is no longer
good excuse for anybody to wear shabby
clothes, for ED. ARMSTRONG has returned
from the East, where he purchased and
has had shipped to Ottawa about the
largest and best stock of clothing ever
seen in these parts. The prices, too, he
assures US, are unexpectedly low, especially
on the lighter spring and summer goods.
Ed. selected them all carefully in person,
and kept his eyes wide open all the time
Now, although it is doubtful whether he
he would know " how to keep tavern" all
are agreed, when it comes to selecting a
stock of clothing, Ed. understands the
business to perfec ton.

CorToN SEED.-Judge CAroN informs us
that he has obtained a few quarts of cot

Dougherty, of Union county, and which
he has placed at the store of Andrew

small quantities among such farmers in
this vicinity as are disposed to experiment
with it. 1t is conceived to be quite posi-

There is no widespread disaffeetion in
the Army of the Potomac, as has been in
timated by pro-McClellan writers. On the
contrary, all goes well. A large portion
Of the army, both officers and men, prefer
any change to the dead inaction which has
SO long characterized MoClellan's army,
and the remainder know the duties Of the
soldier enough to obey orders of their su-
periOrs.
According to army correspondence the
base Of operations will no longer be the
Potomac but the RappahannOCk, and move
ments viii be made, not frcm Washington
but from fredericksburg. It is a good
point to work from. Itis accessible by
water, fact that viii be properly appre-
oiAted when supplies are to be sent to the
army, and it is only sixty miles by good
road to Richmond, to which city it is con-
fdently asserted another change of base
viii very soon be made.
The fact that this change was known in
Richmond almost as soon as in Washington
shows that there is terrible treaohery yet
existing in the high circles Of Washing
ton. It was determined upon on Thursday
night after the visit Of Halleck to Burn
side, and on Saturday night, before the
army had commenced the new movement,
news was learned via Baltimore of the sp-
prehension which the determination caused
in Richmond.

From tho Kannwhn COunrry.

Yesterday we had an interesting con-
versesation with gentleman of this city
city who has recently made the trip from
Wheeling to Bulltown, Summerville, Gau-
ley and other points with view Of finding
somebody supposed to be lost and taking
some "views afOot." The country trav-
ersed by our informant is described as
bearing evidence of q recent visit from the
wreck of matter and the crush Of worlds.
What few natives remain in the country
are in an utterly destitute condition. They
have nothing to eat but fitch and corn
pone. The corn out of which the "pone"
is made is cracked between a big log and
n grind stone in what the natives call a
handmill, and the grains are broken in not
more than two or three pieces. The whole
country is infested with horse thieves, all
of whom seem to be doing good business.
It was understood among the soldiers
that Gen. COx's army or a portion of it,
was moving towards Cumberland or New
Creek RhseliHg LatsIligeHee.

2 Sixty years ago-November 18th, 1902
the first Constitution Of Ohio was adopted
at ehiIlicOthe. The State had then less
than 10000 inhabitants,-now it has near
ly two and half millions. Sixty years
ago there were few sparse settlements
along the DaYigable rivers and upon the
borders Of Lake Erie, these being separated
BY wilderness and connected only by
rough forest roads now, there are 5000
miles Of railroad in operation, at con-
structing cost of nearly S112, 100000. Then
Ohio was the eighteenth State in roint of
population; now it is the third Then the
aggregate wealth of The State was estimat-
ed at $4,000, 600; in 1860 it was over
S272, 5000
In 1910, Ohio had 28O, 76O inhabitants
in 1920, e87,679. Theneeforward it has in
creased with marvellous rapidity in wealth,
population, prosperity and all heelements
which 60 to make up Aourishing com
munity. Her common school system has
received the highest concentrations from
the highest authorities her industrial pur-
suits have given hera high rank in the list
Of producers and manufacturers, and
her future gives promise Of almost inlimit-
able prosperity. In 1850, Ohio produced
breadstuffs enough for four times her own
population, and while she expended in
1881 mora than three-fourtbs oF a million
Of dollars ($7s7, 800 for the support of the
State Government, including the expenses
Of benevolent and criminal institutions,
she disbursed nearly twice that sum, or
about one and one-fourth millions of dol
lars (s1, POS, ,16D for the support of common
schools. With such history and such
present condition, what may we not antiei-
