WOol.-The New York Mercantile Journal Of
last week says the market in fne fleece woods
continues without features worthy of general
interest. The demand is light aud confined to
small lots for immediate requirements. But the
supply is also light, and the tone is not en-
couraging to active business transactions. The
unsettled condition of affairs will most likely
continue until the new clip is ready to ind a
market Fine AaHassaie- - f-i-ir -s-iut-;-.A,
but inferior descriptions rule weak.
Foriqn Woods Of the finer grades are held with
considerable conf lence, but the demand is only
moderate. Stocks are not large, but manufac-
turers are not disposed to operate, as the new
clip OF domestic will soon make its appearance.
The common and inferior grades OF foreign are
in liberal supply.
We give below special quotations, revised May
80, for Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, which
are fair average for the other states also:

Roberts, nox Factorv.--Aa The pioneer

Roberts, Box Factory. --As the pioneer
establishment in the way Of making fruit box
es, the enterprise Of Mr.. @. q. RoBBRTs IL
we'll deserving a passing potioe, both on ac-
count Of the amount Of work executed and the
very skilfnl mechanism which has been con-
trived to facilitate the execution OF that work.
Mr.. RoBERTs' attention Is now wholly devo-
ted TO the manufacture Of boxes for containing
grapes OF which he turns out about 900 per
day. In this business the sowing machine
plays an important part, the circular strips Of
veneering which form the upright portion Of
the box aud coYor, being stitched together
with spool-thread the work passing through
the machine with great speed and precision
Of execution. Mr.. r. has invented and secur-
cd two patents, one for guage attachment to
the sewing machine, regulating the size Of box
and cover, and the other for packing grapOs
into the boxes. The bottom packer is in the
shape Of tin box which nts snugly inside Of
the grape box, with plunger inside. In
using, the packer is filled with grapes and
tho bnx showed down over II, when the pack
er is withdrawn the pluuger holding the grapes
firmly 10 the box.
Nor has the enterprisiug manufacturer stop
ped here he has Ia addition a machine for
driving tacks, which unite the sides of the box
with its top and bottom This machine was
invented by ADDISON Smith, Esq, Of this
place, upon which patent has been granted,
and is a marvel In its simplicity Of mechap-
ism and the success which attends its per-
formance OF work. As compared with manu-
al labor its achievements are equivalent to
those Of at least seven men. The little imple-
neut will soon be presented for public patron
rye, when its efficiency will attest its merits
far more forcibly than we can describe il. To
those who may feel interested in seeing it
work we would suggest visit TO RoBSRrs'
Box Factory.
We trust the worthy inventor and his pat
ron may each realize a handsome compensation
for their skill and enterprise

Celery for winter

This valuable esculcHi SO much priz-
ell by all, may be easily kept in Winter
by placing the plants in narrow tren-
ches. OH their own roots. drawing the
earth about the plants nearly to the
tops, taking care that the earth does not
enter the crowns ofthe plants. Film
the earth as solid rs possible, and cover
all safe from rain and frost. Celery
should never be handled except
when the weather and plants are per-
fectly dry. To obyiate the necessity
of opening the trenches daily, have u
box of sand in the cellar sufficient TO
pack celery enough for week or tel.
days use. Take the celery from the
trench and carry to the cellar, and pack
in the moist sand by making first a
layer OF earth about one inch deep !:
then layer Of celery. placing the
plants just far enough apart not to lay
against each other. and alternating
earth and celery until the box is filed,
having the first and last layers. Of
earth. Thus You may have this delie-
ious relish always at hand and of the
best quality.

The Result in Indiana.

. The more returns we get in from
Indiana, the more complete and vaIu-
able the Republican victory becomes.
Take it for all in all there never has
been State election more fruitful in
good results, achieved at such serious
hazards, as the October election in In
diana has been. Among the best of
these are;
/. We have elected our entire State
ticket, with the possible exception of
the candidate for Governor, who is de-
feated, if at all by the most unblush-
ing frauds. which it will be the duty
of the Legislature to rebuke by un-
seating Mr.. Hendricks, if the certifi-
cate is ever awarded to him.
2. We have gained four Congress-
men, viz Williams and Orth, Mem
bers at-large; Hunter in the Sixth dis
trict and Cason in the Fourth.
3. We have defeated Dan VOORHEES,
in particular, and saved American pol
itics from. the disgrace Of fostering
one of the worst cases ofpolitical pros
titution ever known. And this has
been accomplished in the face of a
Democratic majority of 1,425 two
years ago.
4. We have made most sweeping
triumph in the Legislature, overturning
the Democratic majority of eight, and
replacing it with Republican majori-
ty of at least fifteen on join ballot.
5. We have thereby insured the re-
election of Oliver p. Morton 10 the
United States Senate, one Of the ablcst
and also one of the best abused states
man in the country.
We have also by the same triumph
secured a fair re-districting of tht
State for future Congressional cleo.
tions, and prevented foisting debt o
$40, 100000 upon the State by thu
holders of the Wabash canal bonds.
We have in addition to these ani
various other minor benefits, convinc
cd the country in spite Of the lies o
| the Greeley press, that the West is no
fooled by the illusory promises o
Cincinnatia and Baltimore, but on th
contrary stands as firm for hberit.
and right as they ever did. In othe
words, that it will go as heartily TO

HIS Endorsement OF the Adnainistrd-
ton and the Republican Party.
The following latter was addressed

AUBURN, Sept. IL, 1872.
Nh Dear Mr., johnson Although
! have occasion to write much, am
obliged now to use another's hand
Yon will not be surprised, therefore,
to find me an irregular correspondent.
At the moment when the country was
called to confront the last civil war, in
consequence Of its adoption of the po-
licy of restricting slavery, ] was re-
quired to take upon myself part in
the executive Administration. knew
then very well that liberty, constitution
and union were inseparable, and that
q failure Of the Administration to save
them would consign all concerned in it
to eternal infamy, / thought, ON the
other hand, that my own part, however
humble in the rescue, ought to be
enough to crown loyal ambition.
/ knew, moreover, that could not per-
form that very difficult part successful-
ly without making q sacrifice of all
personal and party prejudices and as
pirations for after-life. therefore
cheerfully and openly pledged myself
to that sacrifice. thus secured . re-
tirement from political life at the end
of the struggle, which has become
pleasant to me. If any of my fellow
citizens think am not entitled to en-
joy it, for the reasons have mention
ed, they will concede 1t to me when
they know that it has now become in-
dispensable to the preservation Of
health in advancing years. Now,
however, not less than at any other
time, do think it the duty of every
citizen to leave no uncertainty to exist
concerning the principles and policy
which carried the country safely thro
the civil conflict, or from the party or
ganization and candidates who repre-
sent them. This must be my short re-
ply to your long and much esteemed
letter. Very sincerely yours,

Your neighbors arc correct. We
should never cover potatoes or other
roots, finally for winter, nor even put
them in bins in the cellar, until they
have undergone this seasoning. unless
very late. Our practice is to dig aud
place them in piles and cover, leaving
an oriiice on top for the escape of
steam. but keeping them from direct

got their glorious victory down in
Georgia:
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 8.
To Hon. James ". Ednsunds.
No Republicans were admitted as
managers or clerks at the election ON
Wednesday. The officers were all
Greeleyites. They refused to open
Republican precints, and free-holders
attempting it were dispersed. Demo-
cratic votes were received as fast Ms OF
fered, and Republican votes only when
no Democratic votes Were otlering.--
Republican precints voted only one
per minute while the Democratic pre-
cincts were rushed through at the rate
of six per minute thus thousands of
Republicans failed to get in their votes.
Exhibition of tax receipts was unlaw-
fully required Of Republicans, but not
of Democrats.
Republican leaders were arrested
early, under false charges in order 10
intimidate voters. Challenges were
made to delay voting, and to intimi.
date Republicans. Those attempting
to assert their rights were assailed, and
in some cases were murdered, foui
were killed. At Macon the enforce.
ment act was openly detied. Many ar,
rests are being made by United States
Marshals. Less than half the Repnb.
lican vote was polled.

No one will deny that great care
should be observed in selecting seed
corn to plant, and yet numbers offarnl-
ers never see their seed corn until il j.
carried 10 the field at planting time.
We think The best plan Is to place a
barrel IN corner OF thecrib and throw
into il every large and vigorous ear.
Shell of about two inches of the large
ends. in order to get the largest and
most prolific grains. This produces u
large and healthy plant. that grows
much faster than small oi,es do.
AT husking time select the best ears,
aud place them where the air will have
free access, and rain tonch them not.
and there will be no trouble IN having

This distinguished statesman died
suddenly at his home in Auburn, N.
r, ct 5 Is this p. m.
Our dispatch is brief and gives
no Particular. His death must
have been sudden, as we have had NO
notice Of his illness. Mr.. Seward was
born In Florida, Orange county, N.
r., May l6, 1901. His parsntage mp
on his fathers side was Of Welch ex-
traction, and upon the mothers side,
Of Irish. His father Samuel Seward,
vas successful merchant and amass-
cd . large fortune. He gradusted ct
Union College, in 1880, and was adj
mittedto the bar In 1929. He was
nrst State Senator Of New York
He was next nopinated for Governor
and beaten BY ", l. Marcy, In 1884.
In 1888 he was again nominated BY the
Wings for Governor, and beat his old
competitor by 10000 majority. He
was reelected in 1840.
In 16A9 following the election ofZach
AIRY Taylor to the Presidency he was
chosen o. 8. Senator from N. Y. His
record - such Senator is one of the
most distinguished in the annals Of
American history especially is this 30
In reference to the strong ground he
took for the freedom Of our territories
and the rights Of man. He remained
in the United States Senate until Mar.
4th, 1851, when he was made Mr.. Lin
coins Secretary Of State.
How faithfully he discharged the
grand momentous trusts Of that posi-
tion during the nations trying hours ID
familiar 10 all. Next comes his con-
nection with A. johnson As President
and here we prefer to stop with his po-
litical history, and leave the historian
OF the future to pass upon it. He was
among America's ablest Statesmen and
jurists but suAsrsd like many another
great man with an oyerweaning am
bitioar forthe Presidency ii his later
years Yet though he did this, We
greatly honor him for hb great and
goble deeds for the right.
