ENCOURAGEMENT OF MANUFACTURES
We have often spokenof the necessity OF in
creasing our productive industry as the
only means of building up our town. We
want wooden and cotton mills, paper mills,
and great many more workers in wood
and iron. We have the capital and the
material. All we need is the EDUCATED skill,
experience, business capacity and enter
prise. Even these can be had-perhaps in
our midst. a
Below we print an article cut from the
Lyons Mirror. 1t is as applicable and as
pertinent here as at Lyons:
WOODEN FACToRY.-During the past
week arrangements have been perfected for
the establishing of a wooden factory in this
place. Messrs. Overman d Co., have con-
tracted to erect three story stone build
ing, 39x55 feet on the ground, to be ready
for use by the first of January next
A Mr.. Blasburg, who has had life long
experience in the business, puts in the ma
chinery, which he now has on hand. The
latter gentleman will be the sole proprie-
tor of the factory, he renting the building
| of Messrs. Overman Il Co., with the privi-
lege of purchasing it at some future period
| at cost, Much credit is due to the enterpri-
| sing firm that puts up the building, for the
! reason that had it not been for the very lib
| eral inducements offered by them, we
| should not have succeeded in securing this
addition to our manufacturing interests

SHOCKING CATAsTHRoPE - A WHOLE
FAMILY OF SEVEN PERSONS DROWNED
WHILST GOING TO CHURCH.-A shocking
catastrophe occurred yesterday Sunday
morning in Black River township, Lorain
county. Mr.. Herwig, Protestant Ger
man, with his wife and five children, set
out about o'clock in the morning in their
wagon to attend church at Amherst. About
an hour afterwards, as some men were
crossing the bridge at Beaver Creek, they
saw two horses struggling in the water.
The neighbors were alarmed, and the
| horses extricated. When the carriage was
drawn out, the bodies of Mr.. Herwig, his
wife, and five children, comprising the en-
tire family, were found in it, quite dead.
| 1t is supposed that in crossing the bridge
| the horses became frightened and backed
off into the river, where, becoming en-
tangled in the carriage, all seven were
| drowned. The oldest of the children wa
n girl about fourteen years of age. Mr.
Herwig has married sister in this city
| whose name is not known. The funeral
of the family took place at Amherst a
ten o'clock this mroning.-Clepetand( TO-,

What more could be desired? Isn't it time
we were making our choice? 1t won't do for
the Mexicans to be alone on this continent
in imperial glory. The rebels want some
thing Of that sort. The Copperheads say,
"aye.' Why should any one neglect the

SAYS, No.-Our readers are already aware
that the Copperhead Board of Alderman
of New York City lately passed an ordin-
ance appropriating two and half millions
of dollars TO secure the exemption Of GER
tain classes of persons from the draft
All who have any regard for decency or de-
sire to see the laws enforced will be glad
to learn that Mayor Opedike hasvetoed the
ordinance, and that, in doing so, he has
not hesitated to denounce it as a base and
cowardly trucking to mob violence, and
designed to evade and nullify q necessary
act of Congress. While he does this, while
he declares it unwise and dangerous to
propitiate mob by extorted concessions
to illegal demands, he is in favor OF ma
king full provisions, not for the towards
who refuse to serve their country, but for
those who periodically do their duty, and
whose necessities may render such assis-
lance necessary. In this idea all loyal
men will concur. None but Copperheads
could conceive the infamy paying men
to stay at home and sacrificing the coun-
try to traitors.

holding ratification meetings in all the
counties of the State by the Copperheads.-
The fact that there is nothing to ratify-
that they have no nominee for Governor is
embarrassing. But as any lack of nomi-

of platform, we hope the ratification will
go off.

A@Every man who is known to have
been party to the New York riots-every
man who has sympathi1ed with or justin
ed the riots, calls himselfa Democrat Isn't
that SINGULAR We thought Democrats"
were "peace'' men. IL the New York riot
their idea of "peace?" They swear they are
claw abiding men," Are we to understand
that the New York riot, its thousand rob-
berries, arsons, murders, are theevidence OF
their veracity7 and a characteristic example
of the mode in which they propose to up
hold and enforce the law9
Isn't it a shameless instance of brazen
impudence and falsehood, for men who are
guilty of such enormities, who excuse
them, Justify them, threaten repetition OF
them, not only in New York, but all over
the land, to claim not merely to be Demo-
Gratis but the right to lead and guide and
speak for the Democracy? If Democrats
submit to such guidance, if they acknowl-
edge these perjured villains to be their
leaders and to declare their policy and pur-
poses, are they not responsible? Does De-
mocracy mean defiance of the law, hatred
of the Union, conspiracy with armed trail
tors to overthrow the Government? 1T De-
mocracy does not mean that, how can men
who openly profess that and mean more
and worse than that be Democrats and
lead the party? And if these leaders are
not Democrats why do those who are allow
them to speak and act in the name Of the
Democracy? If Democracy, inthese times,
means TREASON, we would be glad to know
it. If it does not, why do not the men who
are loyal, either kick the traitors out of
their party, or make loyal men their speak
ers and leaders? The platforms called De-
mocratic are reasonable. Those who stand
upon them must mean treason, or they Ii
bel themselves.
