Aberdeen the greatest Envelope Making
City ia the World.

A writer i'll an English journal, describing
the manufactures of Aberdeen, says:
The Aberdonians would seem to be scarcely
less celebrated for the Manufacture Of paper
than they are for granite, ships and conbs.-
Few might be inclined to believe that one mil
lion OF 'snperiine envelopes" are made daily in
this remote region of the kingdom But in ad-
dition to this, one firm manufacture fiity tons
Of writing paper a week. At their mills at
Stoneywood, in the vicinity OF Aberdeen, and
at the Union Works 1.-THE envelope Department.
in the city itself, they give employment to
somewhere about two thousand persons, and
as far as regards envelopes, the great proper
ton of which are folded and stamped by ma
chinery, the Pires are believed to be the great
est makers OF the present day. They contine
themselves to the production of note paper, en-
velopes and cards. The business was common
ed by the grandfather of the present partners
in the year ITO. The manufacture of gray.
brown and tea paper is carried ON at Waterton
and Muggiemoss, two mills a few miles north of
Aberdeen, belonging to a firm who turn out
eiShty-six thousand tons Of paper weekly, and
fifteen thousand tons of grocers paper bags for
which latter they have machine capable of
doing the work of twenty women at any given
time. They employ altogether about two hu,-
dred and fifty hands. The extent of the Aber-
deem paper trade may be gathered from the fact
that there are five paper mills within fifteen
miles OF the CITY, whereat no fewer than two
thousand five hundred persons find EN-
plOy ment." '@-@ 81

Mr. EDrroR:-Perhaps you are not the prop
er medium to express religious views, but as
there don't seem to be any prospects of having
any Churches in the lower part of the city at
present, Excepting the Baptist Society and
having learned that the Episcopalians are NOV
ing to establish Society some time in that Sec
ton, would take the liberty to suggest call
to Rev. Mr.. Walton, late of the Third Parish
Church. as it is stated that he is about to be adj
mltted to the Episcopal orders. think this
would be very acceptable to quite number of
his friends, at least until the old Society gets
under way again. But if We cannot have eth
er, think some of our uptown rich Societies
could afford to send Us a Missionary OCCASION

The Tri,s -, phi Of Law.

The New York Evening Post of Monday thus
describes the effect of the enforcement of the
Excise law in that city on Sunday:
Yesterday was the first day of the full en-
torcement of SO much of the Excise law of the
State as prohibits the public sale of All strono
drinks on Sunday. When the law first went
into effect last spring, its operation was inter-
lerred with by the action of Cardozo and other
local Judges, who soon succeeded in altogether
snspending its execution, until the recent de-
cision OF the Court Of Appeals has restored it
to full force and vigor. The experience of YES
terday is, therefore, the first opportunity to
test its real efficacy. The police department
had judiciously made all necessary arrange
ments corresponding with the Importance of
the occasion, and the result was highly signifi-
can't and encouraging, in the enjoyment of an
orderly and quiet day throughout; showing
that New York can be governed by authority.
OF law just as the rest of the State is governed
Over the whole city the arrests tor intoxica-
ton or dlsorderly conduct were only nineteen!
Only one hundred and eleven persons were
charged with violations of the Excise law. and
Of these sixty-nine We're found in six of the
thirty-two precincts. The average number of
arrests on Sundays for drunkenness and disor-
der.s upwards OF one hundred. The change ia
marvellous, and the effects cannot but be salu-
tary to every good interest Of the people.
What now remains is for all good citizens to
see that it is kept in full operation until its be-
nign effects can be fully seen. In favor of this
we are sure that every taxpayer and every
rent-payer in this city ought to be heartily en-
listed. Those liquor-deaers themselves, who
desire to be known as responsible members of
society, have the same interest with all the
rest of US in favor of the maintenance of law
and the preservation of order. Honest liquor
dealers have special reason for upholding the
present law, because it suppresses the lawless
..,,1 -" -.
payment of the excise duty and sell without
any restraint. The very large sum which this
law is bringing into the treasury of the city,
and the check given to illegal liquor-selling,
with the proof afforded that there is now no
class OF men among us too powerful to be made
amenable to the authority Of law, cannot but
afford great satisfaction to every rejecting
person. We hope it viii prove an augury Of
better days, and prepare the way for the resto-
alton of the city to the position of self-govern-
ma inf B..
