New SUBSTITUTE FOR CorroN
Agricultural Bureau at Washington has
just received through the State Depart
ment. from the United States Consul at
Sheffield. England. number of very
beautiful specimens of the raw and man
featured fibre of China grass, { rhea,
grown in the East Indies, and attempts to
cultivate which are now being made in
England OF all the Indian fbres the
one that attracts the most attention in
England is that Of the rhea. As soon as
arrangements have been effected for its
production, along with other species of
nettle which abound in various parts Of
India, it is anticipated that fbres from this
class Of plant will eventually occupy a
position second only in importance to that
of cotton and fax. Late experiments
have shown that the fibre of the rhea can
be turned to account for the manufacture
of variety of fabrics of very valuable
and useful description and its extended
cultivation in India is said to be worthy of
every attention and encouragement. The
desideratum is an efficient machine for the
separation Of the fibre from its parent
stem. Some bales of rhea fibre lately
put up for sale in England, realized at
the rate of four hundred dollars per ton.
The specimens sent to Washington have
been arranged and placed in glass case
for exhibition.

THE CEoPs.-Nye learn from some
of our planting friends that the crops
Ill this county are doing moderately
well, only. The superabundance OF
wet weather has tended greatly to
rctard agricultural. operations, and
the crops are backward. Cotton is
generally up, and looks healthy. In
many instances, however, the seed
planted were dead and brought forth
no plant, and persons who were thus
imposed upon are replanting as rap
idly as possible. Corn is small, but
thriving. The freedmen are working
up to their contracts, as a general
thing. On the whole, planters seem
cheerful and hopeful.

that these ceremonies were held OF
a day with us the busiest of all thu

the pleasure of being present on tn,

OF being able to procure report O
the proceedings from some frient
who was present, we pretermittet
all mention of the celebration in oul

can only record the historical fact
that Canton Lodge No. %, F. and A.
Masons, held a Lodge of Sorrow
in Canton, on Saturday, 14th April,
1866, in cOmmemoration of their de-
ceased brethren who fell in the late
struggle for Southern independence

by the various Lodges from the diff

sron Manufacture in Johnstown, PA.

A correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican, who is travelling through the
mining and manufacturing regions of
Pennsylvania, gives the following
| sketch of .JohnStown: The town lies
close and thick in narrow valley, hold
! ing fifteen thousand inhabitants, all de
irving their prosperity from the opera
tions of single company, the Cambria
Iron Company, who own everything
and run everything. Nature has richly
gifted the location; the hills are iron on
top. coal beneath; limestone, clay, the
material for fircbrick, and water lime
| cement, all abound rs well-everything
at hand for building purposes and for
carrying on extensively the manutac-
ture of iron. The iron ore holds about
fifty per cent. of pure iron, and nets IN
working about thirtythree per cent. 1t
holds lime enough to iiuX it also. The
company confines itself TO manufacture
ing railway iron. turning out 1,2oO tons
OF rail a week, or enough to lay twelve
miles of track. This is about One-third
! of all the rails made i'll Pennsylvania.
The company has capital of 81 ,6o0,O
which is to he increased to three mil
lions, employs 3,2O0 men and boys, pays
81 AZ for its crudest man labor, 81 and
S3to its miners, and So and 81 to tsbest

mcnt to the wives and daughters of its
laborers, the company has jnst built an
immense woolcn mill (from bricks made
on it's own grounds and by 4 machine
that turns out $4,000 day, and rs good
in quality as those manufactured 10y

and will soon have it in operation. The
rails made here are sold now for $50 pei

Three Children Bitfcn by El5id Dogs
-OJr Already Dead.

The first death by hydrophObia which
we have been called on 10 record in thu,
vicinity, occurred yesterday morning in
| Bahytowa. About twcnty-Oue days ago.
three children were bitten 10y dogs, two
of them by one and one by the other.
One of them, little daughter of Mr..
Brehn. was bit just above the eye, re-
ceiving a slight wound. The others re-
ceived a slight scratch, probably not
through the skin. The first mentioned
wound soon healed, and no more was
thought Of il, as ii was not known that
the dog was mad. On Wednesday
morning the child manifested symptoms
of insanity. She was only three years
old. She took n stick and tried 10 in
lure her little sister; she said she was
COW with horns growing ont Of her
head. 4 physician was sent for and
prescribed for the patient, but she grew
worse, and on Thursday exhibited symp-
toms of hydrophObia, complaining of
sore throat, manifesting dread of wa
ter, and disposition to snap and bark
at every one that approached her. She
continued to grow worse, and, yesterday
morning, died, after suffering the most
fearful agOnies. Yesterday morning DR..
Muhlhausen was sent for, but the child
died before he arrived. The other chill
dren have exhibited no symptoms of hy
drophobia, bnt, Of course, after the fear
ful experience of the past few days, the
most painful apprehensions are felt by
the anxious parents. One of the dogs
that bit one of the children is still alive.
and has exhibited no signs Of madness.

ONE AHEAD.-A couple of girls put a
bull-frog into hired mans bed to see
if they couldn't make him talk. Dave
threw it out of the window, and never
said word. Soon after he put half
bushel of chestnut burs into the girls
bed. About the time he thought
"things were workin," Dave went to
the door and ratified the latch furiously.
Out went the candle, and into bed went
the girls; but they didn't stick, though
the burs did. Calling to them to be
quiet, Dave said he only wanted to know
if they'd seen anything of that pesky
bull-frog. He'd give two dollars to lind
il.
