| To n, Editor Of The n. y Tribune.
SIR: In your paper of the 18th inst. noticed
an article headed "Sraw Paper" in which the writer
calls in question the assertion made by Scion Robinson
upon my authority. in your paper Of Sept. % thss
the late Hon. Henry Peitehone Of Wilkesbarre. Pa.
was the first make the suggestion that paper could
be made from straw.
now merely wish to give you the version Of it, -
learned IL from Mr. Pettebone while visit to this
place about five years ago
He said that when lie was In charge Of the Neadyne
Academy. during tie years ls22 to le24 while near an
ashry where straw used in teaching had been thrown
out he met Mr.. Magaw who is the paper maker named
by your spondent aud that lie took handful OF Il
aud manipulated 1t his presence. and finding it very
flexible lie suggested to Magaw that paper could be
made from i The idea struck Magaw fayora0ly ane
he remar kcd that lie would try the experiment lie diQ
80 aud have little doubt made TIE nrst straw paper
ever made In this country.
The fact that your correspondent never heard MI M
state the circumstance is kind of negative testimony
that should weigh but little against the statement Of
Judge Petlebone whose reputation Tor trutEiuneas
was proverbal.
and merely mentioned il M a strange circumstances.
while visiting the Niagara Mills
But the importance of the discovery cannot be mag
piied. Ii is the agent through which cheap paper -
be furnished to publishers and cheap knowledge con-
sequenty. TO the people.
Tie day Is fast approaching when with cheap
change. We shall have cheap chemicals; when labor
and materials must settle reasonable standard. aud
the great end be accomplished without the doubtful
Congressional experiment Of forcing the well known
laws OF trade and cheapening the products OF the
II, by means Of unwisc legislation
We. at Niagara are doing our fun part 10 accom-
psh these great results. and hope II successful il
our experiments. 10 greatly reduce the price Of osH
manufactures during the present year
five do we shall feel that while we have contributed
TO the public great boom shall have to
gratua,e ourselves and you. dear TRIBUNE upon our
success. l.. PEIrEBoaa.

Bishop Potter Is OF especial interest to Episcopal oer
gymen and churches
REVEREND AND DEAR BRETHREN. II viii be rcmem
bered that in the Diocesan Convention of lnoJ. resou-
tons adopted requesting contributions from the
parishes OF the diocese with view 20 aordin- relief
10 such of the parochsl clergy might be drafted into
the military service OF the United States The parishes
kindly responded TO iha; call and a fund provided
which has been the means Of preventing much inconye
nience and distress among the cercymcn and
their families and tie Congregations whom they served
But that fund is nearly exhausted. and the present
draft adds 10 the number OF oergyinen needing the
assistance II designed 10 afford. IL is believed TIA.
if each parish wold contribute equal 70 half Of
its former contribution the Ct relieving oil who
are likely 20 need relief would be- obtained. | would
