In consequence of the recent great improve

from the expectation that it will be cheaper ut

have given our productions the very highest rank
among time-keepcrs. Commencing with the dc
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
watches our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, We have been unable
to supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-

ton to more than eight hundred workmen.

EMIGRANTs.-We conversed on Tuesday
with MIR. Coffin, the Agent, who had in
charge company of four hundred emigrants
from this State going west. He informed us
that they came principally from the Counties
of Randolph, Guilford, Davidson, Alamance
and adjacent localities; and that the large
majority of them were children under twelve
years of age Some of the emigrants will
stop in Indiana, Others in Illinois, while
many will go beyond Missouri to the new In
dian reservation. Mr.. Coffin says that there
is no larger exodus of emigrants from this
State at the present time, than before the
war; but they now go in parties and thus
attract more attention. Before the war; en-
igrants went by wagons, now they take the
cars.
1t is sad thing to see so many of the
best and most industrious of our citizens
leaving.

A FERoCIoUs MANIAC.-There is maniac
now living in auckland, Mass, named Josiah
Spaulding, who, the Springfield Republican
says, has been confined in an iron cage for
over fifty years, and for more than thirty
years has not stood erect. He has become
so deformed that it is impossible to straight
en- his limbs by manual force. He refuses to
be clothed, and will not suffer anything to
remain on him, and is only kept warm in
winter by warming the room in which his
cage is placed He is the son of Rev. Josiah
Spaultling. When he first became insane
he endeavored to murder his father, mother
and sister, and 1t became necessary to con-
fine him so that he could not harm any one.
JEFF DAvIs.-The Charleston Courier of
September 26th says:
From {. private letter which we have re-

learn with indispensable regret that his health
continues to decline, and that the pecuniary
circumstances of his family are becoming
very embarrassing. Nothing is known to
Mrs. Davis of the probable future of her
husband, and we confess we see little encour-
agement to hope for his early release.

Wool In MiehiSan

The Detroit Post, of the 2sth inst, gives
the following report Of the condition Of the
wool market from the interior of the State OF
Michigan:
ColDwATER-Wool continues to come in
freely. Probably about one third of the
whole clip of this county has now been sold.
The maximum price holds at 62jc.
OwAsso-The wool market s supplied with
buyers and money, but the wool growers pre-,
fer to wait for higher prices. But very little
has been purchased in Shiawassee county az
yet. The rates paid range from 40 to IS cents
for the small lots brought in. The farmers
are asking 60c.
FEsrosvnLE-Woo is coming in rapidly,
and ranges from So to 62ic, which Is the
highest paid so far. 1t is doubtful whether il
will go higher,
THREE RIvERs-On the 22d, choice lots Of
100 sold readily at Coo; on the 25th, the ru.
ling price was 58c; on the 26th, buyers were
not disposed to go much beyond Sc and 67c.
The decline is anything but satisfactory to
growers, and there is perceptible falling of
in the receipts.
At Lansing, the market is more active and
the ruling price is 58c; Ovid, sales at Asa
DC, average 63c Linden, 55a 6Oc Ridge.

GOO good at 56c, one third of for bucks
feeces.
JAcKsos-Y esterday the wool market was
little more lively, and larger stock on the
streets for sale than we have hitherto seen in
any one, day. Prices ranged from SIS to 621
cents per pound. This is higher price. we
believe, than has hitherto been paid in any
part Of the State.-Jdckson Citizen.

told OF WlGrALL who at the collapse Of the
rebellion, fell into the vicinity of party Of
Union soldiers in Texas:
Being well disguised, he entered freely into
conversation with the soldiers Of the guard,
and in the course of the conversation asked
what they would do with old Wigfall if they
were to catch him. "Oh, we would hang
him, certain was the reply. "And YOU
would serve him right" replied Wigfall.

The wheat Crop in Central y. York

We are informed by gentleman who has
made extensive inquiries concerning the con-
dition OF the wheat crop in the central por-
ton Of the State. that the prospects for large
yield are unusually good The farmers an
agree that their wheat looks we'll, and there
is no disposition to indulge in the usual
amount of croaking in such matters. Spring
crops are generally somewhat backward, but
the warm weather of the past few DAYS will
have a powerful effect in speedily bringing
them forward. The prospects for crops and
fruit in this State, may be set down as good.
