CLoTnING.-The competition in tho
clothing business, in this city. has
reached a point which renders that
trade particularly interesting at this
time. Every device in the advertis-
ing line is tried to the extreme limit
of attenuation to attract the myriads of
woods men, who have come from their
camps or are expected in few days,
and if people will only avail them
selves Of the suggestions offered and
the redundauce Of advice rendered
without money and without price,
as also unquestionably without hope
of fee or reward, we shall very soon
have the proud satisfaction of know
ing that no more elegantlys comfort
ably, fashionably or tasteiully dressed
community adorns any considerable
patch of the round worlds surface
than those who live, and breathe, and
buy their clothing in this delectaLle
Valley. There are very many places
to buy, but tie place, if we credit what
the individual subject of this notice
says, by way of advertisement, is at
the store of II. Koch, opposite Ban
croft House.

TIE LANEReANs.-Mr. & Mrs. j. NJ.
I4anergan, whose talent in the Dra-
matte business we are certain has no
where been more generously acknowl-
edged, normore thoroughly appreciated
than in eur city, are at present playing
a star engagement at the Young Mems
Hall in Detroit. The Free Press thus
notices Mrs. LIS Fanchon, in which
character in our humble opinion she
has few, if any rivals:
The play of " Fanchon, the Cricket"
was presented last evening to a very
full house, Mrs. J. NJ Lanergan APP.
pearing as Fanchon. 1t cannot be
denied to Mrs. l.. that she is entitled
TO position among the first in her
profession as personator Of charac-
ters like Fanchon. True in every
phase of character she represents,
graceful and powerful as the progress
of the play requires, she carries the
listener along with her so charmingly
and'in such sympathy that no one
could suggest wherein her part could
have been rendered better 1t hardly
seemed part" in a play, it was done
so naturally. The audience demon
strated that she was great favorite
and fully met their expectations by
their repeated manifestations of APP

prosErR ForspRr.-Ths Iron works
in this city lately belonging to Messrs.
Warner & Eastmen; since purchased
by Messrs. j. II. Hill & George Nor
ris, were established in 1854 by
Messrs. Warner, Eastman s. Chand-
)lers, who mauaged the same for sew
eral years. Afterwards the Messrs.
Chambers sold their interest to Mr..
Shaw, and the firm was changed to
Warner, Eastman 4 Shaw. Mr. Shaw
after time, Withdrew his interest
from the concern, leaving tho busi-
ness in the hands of Messrs.r Warner
& Eastman, who continued the same
until April, 1866, when they sold TO
Messrs. Hill s Morris, the present
proprietors. The first steam engine
manufactured in Saginaw Valley,
which is the one now used in driv-
ing the machinery, connected with
the foundry, and planning mill attach
cd, was built at this foundry, by Mr..
Morris, who was the superintendent
of the works, and is as reliable and
serviceable piece Of machinery as was
ever turned out from any works. Mr..
Morris is an "old hand atthe bellows, "
having had from fifteen to twenty
years experience in the Foundry bust
ness, with this ample experience and
superior facilities in the way of ma
chinery, they are prepared to fill orders
for the manufacture of machinery,
mill geering, SC. &c, in the shortest
possible time. They employ large
number of men in their works, and
also have connected with the Foundry,
a PnniAg mill whore they manufac-
ture siding and flooring. The Messrs
Hill & Morris are both prudent busi-
ness men full of the ''go-ahead' spirit,
so requisite in this business. Their
success is foregone conclusion.

There is a semi-weekly line on this
track-we have a Tuesday and Saturday
steamer. This line has been in exist
enee for many years, and has always
beenIpopular With passengers and ship
pers. Commodore Munroe Ayres has
done more 10 :buildIup. this trade than
any other person-he may be said to
have been. brought up in the trade. BE
understood his duty In all its details;
his word could at all times be relied on;
his business transactions were certain
to be done ina satisfactory manner,
and he was one.of those high-mindedl
men that would do Just what was right,
let the consequences be- what they
might. Standing on the wharf one day
during low water, we saw him refuse to
carry iron to Wheeling ut so cents per
hundred, while at the same time his
boat was loaded with GAINESVILLE freight
at 25 cents; we inquired the reason his
reply wasr manly and to the point:
consider it my duty; particularly dur.
ing low water, TO load my boat-the
Emma Gtaharn-to all the water with
ZanesviIleo and .1Iuskingum river
freight at twenty-five cents in prefer
ence to carrying freight TO other points
even at one dollar per hundred" The
iron. was hauled away. The Commo-
dorre was true to his duty.s This noble
specimen of u Western boatman has re-
tired to private life; he carries with
BIN the good viii Of all honorable men.
His successor on the Emma Graham

sad-hearted, middleraged old man who
can creep into the heart of child and
interpret it, and show forth the new. ma
ture to us In the subtle efosS-hghts OF
contrast and suggestion. ImaginAtively
thus, the wrinkles of age become the
dimpleS of infancy. Wordsworth was

features the fine chisels of thought and

Is not the monopoly OF blooming young

Thereis a slow growing beauty which

promenade. Husband and wife who
have fought the world side by side, who
have made common stock of joy and
sorrow, and aged together, are not un-
frequently found curiously alike in per-
sonal appearance and in pitch and tone

needing Of Iron Manufacturers.

From the Pittsburg papers ofyesterdny.l
A meeting of Engine Builders, Boiler
Makers, and iron manufacturers gem
orally, was held at the Board of Trade
Rooms, yesterday afternoon. The meet
ing was organized by calling Mr.. A. w.
Foster, of the "Heron Works." to the
chair, and appointing Mr.. William Rea,
of the firm of Robinson, Rea q Co.. sec
retary. aa-lii - ssafsztJ nr
The chairman stated that the meeting
ing into consideration the equalization
of taxation. The branches of industry
represented were compelled to pay a
tax upon their manufactures from
which the mercantile and various other
interests were exempt. This tax had
become onorous, and although they
were willing to render all possible sup
port to the Government, they wished 10
see the iarmer,. The dealer in foreign
goods, and others, do the same. u
Mr.. William Smith, of the firm of
Smith, Park & Co., suggested that the
gentlemen present, who had made an
estimate of the tax they had paid on
their manufactures during 1865, be re-
Iouested tomake statements 10 the meet
ing. A number of gentlemen reported,
when those who We're not prepared to
do 50 were requested to prepare esti-
mates and hand them to the Secretary
before noon ON Thursday. ~. efi
Mr. H.M. Bole did not believe the
Government intended TO oppress the
manufactures, but they were doing so
through the counsel of their agents
who did not understand the meaning
or design Of the revenue laws. A man
could erect a house without being taxed
for the materials, while six per cent.
was required for building a steam
boiler. The engine builders were COM
PEELED to pay an enormous tax, while
they were receiving one fourth less for
their manufactures than last year, The
material they nsed had decreased very
little in price, and wages were the same.
The mechanics, however, were not re-
ceiving too much, and he would rather
increase than diminish their remunera-
ton. The meeting should take some
definiteiaction in the matter.
Mr.. Smith moved that a committee
of i've be appointed 10 prepare 9 me
mortal to our representatives at Wash
inRton. for the modification OF the Rev
en1e Tax Law. The motion was
adopted. and the following COMMITTEES
anofnled:I yMessfs. Alex. w. Foster,
VIM. smith, ID. F. Agnew, Robert Lea,
and H NJ. Bole.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
at the call of the committee. l{fit4
