Our correspondent n, writing from Lyons,
c;ves some Interesting details Of the immense
,ilk-weavins business of that city. He says:
There are within the walls 10000 looms, sup
porting 100000 of the population, and when
the trade 10 depressed&here is great want and
desutution among the workmen. There are
no large manufacturing establishments, as
WIN us, employing large numbers of opera
lives, put the manufacture is done mostly by
nand, the large dealers giving out the raw silk
TO the weavers and dyers.
The weavers are an inferior looking class of
men, and with their families live in houses OF
immense height, having their looms in the
same apartments that they occupy. The
swarming population of these quarters are

fabrics which minister so much to the taste
and luxury of the civilized world.
I visited one of the establishments where
the richest goods are made. It was upon the
heights on the east side of the Rhone. A rail-
way up an inclined plane conveys passengers
and loaded cars, through tunnel, to the top

every floor lived weavers with their families
who carried on different branches of the man

looms where the weavers worked, were con-
nected together. The looms were rough look
ing machines, but quite complicated, and the
work required the earnest attention of the
weaver, who, with his feet ON the tIeadles, BEN
over the loom giving the pattern his closest at
tention. Rich brocades, elegant embroidered
silks and the incest of velvets were beine
made. The weaving of velvets is a peculiar

across the warp, a fine brass wire is inserted

AN EXCITING AFFAIR IN VIRGINIA.
following extract from letter written from
King William County, Virginia, shows how a
Maine man has recently attempted to avenge
his domestic wrongs: at
We have had very exciting affair here. A
Mr.. G. d. Ulmer, of Rockland, Me-, came di-
rect from his home in that State last week, for
the purpose of shooting a Mr.. John Hit, Of
Thomaston, Me-, who was engaged in cutting
ship timber on the Pamunkey river. 1t ap-
pears that while Ulmer was in the army as
quartermaster of cavalry, John Hit became
criminally intimate with his wife, and contin-
ued to have improper intercourse with her up
to the 10Th of September last, when Ulmer dis.
covered the fact, and his wife confessed the full
extent of her crime. He then commenced an
action against Hit for adultery. and sued him
for $4,000 damages, attaching his property in
the county where he lived. The assault of Ul
mer upon Hit was unsuccessful, the latter
having received timely notice of his presence
and intentions, and surrounded himself by his
friends. Ulmer's fire was without effect, be-
cause he was afraid of injuring some innocent
party but his intentions were evidently good
enough, and he told his wronger that although
unsuccessful this time, he might consider thji
only preliminary action. Ulmer is in King
William county jail. Hit is Ulmer's wife's
uncle, and the case is represented to be mos
atrocious in the details. The sympathies o
the parties who were present when the rem
counter took place are all represented to bt
with Ulmer, and he has the earnest wishes o
the community for his prompt relsase from
Imprisonment.
