4 New PATENT OF REAL MEaIr.-Very
many Of our farmers have used the patent
hand corn huskcr which has been Offering
in onr markets for a year or two back, and
arc well aware Of its value. Its inaexibility.
however, prevents its use except in cases
when i: nicely fits the hand. Mr.. o. NJ.
Pond, of this city, has just received a vent
on great Improvement over the old husker
in the respec. that an elastic is substituted
for the brass back of the husker, admitting
Of close and at the same time perfec,ley
easy Ct to any ordinary hand. Every one
who has used the old husker will at once
comprehend and appreciate the improvement.
We understand Mr.. Pond contemplaies the
manufacture Of the improved husker in this
city. If 80. we hail it as another step in
the establishment Of that system Of manu-
features which is TO give additional impetus
to the growth Of our city.

EXAMINATION OF FouRryER-The exam.
ina,ion ofJohn Fourtner, Mr. Lilies hired
man, so mys,eriously tied by the burglars
who robbed the house, was held before Jus
tice Wear., on Tuesday last, and resulted in.
his being bound over for his appearance at
the next term of the District Court. He
was unable to give the necessary bonds,
which were fixed a. $1,000, and was conse.
quently sent tojail.
1t was developed during the examination
that Fourtner was the chief conspira,or in the
affair, the other parties having been nvei.
gled by him into engaging in the scheme for
the robbery Of Mr.. Lilies house. Four,ner
had long known that Mr.. Lille had large
amount Of ready money, and his cupidity
being excited by the dazzling prize he took
steps to secure it. Lacking the courage to
steal the money himself, he planned to have
the money taken by Others in such way
AS to avert suspicion from the real crimin>
ais. He found reedy confederate in Shat.
fer, and the two induced Curtiss and South>
worth to unite with them. Fourtner, well
aware that Mr.. Lille would attend the lee.
,ure Of Fred. Douglass, with the most Of his
family, arranged with the others some time
previous to that event, to make it the oppor.
tunity for the accomplishment Of their de.
signs. Some time after the departure Of Mr..
Lille for the lecture, Shafrer, Southworth
and Curtiss approached the house, aud one
of their number first went to the door aud
called for Fourtner so as 10 make sure that the
way was clear. He reported favorably to
his companions and they unitedly burst into
the house, siezed Fourtner, tied bis hands TO
gether behind his head, and proceeded to
turn the house topsy turvy 10 search Of the
money; but without success. Mr.. Lille
had only the day before deposited his funds at
the bank. Two little girls we're in the house at
the time, but were SO terrified as to be unable
to obtain very distinct idea Of the thieves
who had disguised themselves by backing
their faces. Upon their departure Fortner
cried to the girls to loosen him from his disa>
greeable position. These are the leading
facts in the case, and they indicate coolly
calculated plan Of robbery, with FORMER as
the leading spirit

Grand Manufacturing Scheme on Foot

The original wooden mill organization has
been disbandcd, but only to give place to n
new and far more comprehensive manurac.
turing scheme. About the middle Of last
week, Messrs Sherwood and Clark proposed
to the wooden mill corporation to raise stock
to the smount Of $5l 900 and purchase Of
them their whole water power urd mill
property at $4,000, to be turned in as stock,
which would thus amount to a total Of ATE /.
ooo; the new Company to erect both wool
en- and Touring mills Of large capacity. At
meeting Of the wooden mill stockholders
on Saturday this proposition was accepted,
and the old organization abandoned. Stock
to the amount Of $3l,0 900 was taken in the
new enterprise on the spot. This has al
ready been raised to about 5000 and
there can be no reasonable doubt OF the en-,
tire success Of the project. Our capitalists
are wide awake to the absolute necessity Of
manufactures to the continued prosperity Of
the city, and It is not probable that this
golden opportunity for the right improvement
Of our water power will be allowed TO pass
unimproved With the whole water power a.
command, there can be no doubt Of the
profits Of the enterprise. The company will
organize as soon as the required amount
of stock is taken, and will doubtless push
forward the work Of building the mills with
all possible vigor.

EMERSON.

The reputation of Ralph Waldo Emerson
is so wide spread that it were more than use
less to urge all people Of intelligence to at
tend his lecture, TO be given at the Baptist
Church, on Tuesday evening next. There
NAV be more brilliant orators, but it is ques
tionable whether there are more profound
thinkers in the nation than Mr.. Emerson.
His lecture will be literary, and will be an
intellectual feast such as presents itself bu.
seldom during ones lifetime. Let the pub
lie remember that in attending these lectures
they are assisting in building up the Lyceum
Library.
