remarks by Abraham Lircoln, in mis- re

him to abolish slavery by proclamation,
reads queerly at the present. What he
refused to the Committee he conceded to
the Loyal Leagues. whose favor he seeks.
His weakness got the better of hls judg,

the pressure Of the fanatics who dictated
to him. Said the President:

and the forging is complete and the shoes
ready to be packed and sent to market.
These machines require the attention of
only two or three men each, and the shoes
are turned out at the rate of eight in q
minute. It is intended to erect as soon
as possible, six additional horseshoe ma
chies, and when this addition is complet-
ed the works will be capable of turning
out about twenty tons of shoes in day.
About halt that amount is now made.
This manufacture of horse shoes by ma
chinery has grown up within a very few
years. Seven or eight years ago, when
the manufacture was first commenced, 1t
was considered doubtful experiment. 1t
was hardly thought that shoes coulc be
made by machinery capable of enduring
as hard service as those made by hand;
But the experiment has succeeded beyond
the expectations of the original movers,
and the establishment has grown in that
time to its present enormous proportions,
with a constant demand for its manufac-
lures beyond its ability to fill.

The hay crop is unusually well secured.
The grass grown in a dry season always
contains much greater amount Of nutri-

grown in wet one, and it may be regard
ed as true that one ton of the hay this year
will be equal to a ton and a half of such as
last year.
For the prompt and excellent returns to
