IL appears that the expedition which
left for Cuba Monday was larger than at
first stated. The World Gays the sIeam-

having nearly thousand men on board.
Every thing was done openly. The volun-
teers went on board the steamship with
their muskets over their shoulders, after
having parlaken Of dinner at public
hotel.
There WAS no attempt made by the
United States authorities 10 put a stop TO
the expedition, although the administra-
ton must haye been aware of it, as rela-
tiyes Of some OF the young men on board
telegraphed 10 Secretary Fish TO have the
vessel stopped, The United States author-
tiles here excused themselves ON the
ground that, as President Grant has not
yet issued neutrality proclamation, they
are not supposed to know that any insur-
reclion prevails in Cuba, or anywhere else.
Sixty thousand rounds Of ammunition,
several pieces of light artillery, a large
quantity of small arms, one hundred
breech-loaders, uniforms, and a small
quantity of medicines constituted the war
supplies taken.
The Arago cleared on Saturday, for ST.
Thomas, but until yesterday morning che
was lying inside of Sandy Hook, flying the

WHAT MANUFACTURING DOES

Canton, Ohio, is where all the patent
reapers and mowers are made. When
the inventor went there few years ago
it was the dullest and least progressive
town in the State, and was retrogading
in wealth and population. He asked the
citizens for $4,000 for a start, and re-
ceiVed that sum as loan. Results of the
Investments largo reaping and moving
mandatory; two large agricultural
implement and plow manufactures ex-
clusively, one of stoves and hollow ware,
one Of reaper and mower knives, and one
of saddlery hardware, two ofhorSe rakes
one of farm wagons, one of cultivators,
one Of wrought iron bridges, one OF soap
and candles, and others more or less ex-
tensive. The town has tripled 10 popu.
lstion and quadrupled in wealth, and this
helps the farming interest in the neigh

OF Knoxville and all other places in

remark that the rooms Of the Irish Union
