SusPENsIoN..-We are sorry to learn
that VIM. Dean & Co. will suspend opcr-
ations in their factory, near Newark, O
short time, owing to the low prices and
accumulation of large stock of goods.
AS soon as the market becomes more ac-
tive and sales are made, they will resume
work. The factory has been of great ad-
vantage to the town, and we regret that
trade has not been more active. Mr..
Dean is an active and intelligent mana
ger and fortune has smiled upon his well
directed efforts. .-Dct. Republican.
THE MIDGE.-These tormenting little
insects are thicker than ''lcaves in Vallam-
brosa." In some instances the walls OF
houses have been black with them. They
crawl over your neck, hands, and face in
to your eyes, ears and nostrils, and worry
one out of all patience, this swelterine
weather. As the philosophers tell us that
nothing was made in vain, will some en-
tomologist tell us what the midge was
made for ?-what its utility, and what part
it bears in the great animal economy of the
world.
