. requested to aid in the completion of the mon
ument proposed to he placed above the grave
Of General Lee, in the chapel of the Wash
ington and Lee University The circular
says:
eve believe the completion of this work
to be dear to the whole people of the South /;
that there is not man OF woman in our land
who will not esteem it privilege to aid in
erecting this simple yet beautiful testimonial
Of peoples love and gratitude over the
grave ofour lamented Chief. May we not,
then, confidently appeal to the women of the
South, who so nobly bore their share in the
trials Of the war, to come to our assistance in
this effort to cherish its holy memories, and
TO honor the dust of one who has conferred
such imperishable honor upon our cause and
people"

ganized effort be made to raise the money
needed, by private contributions, fairs, sup
pers, concerts or lectures. The particular
means to be resorted to in each locality to be
left to the discretion of the ladies.
We trust the ladies of Hartford will respond

engaged in furthering any laudable Or patri,
otto undertaking, by taking steps to have
either concert or lecture, at the Court House.

interesting:
The Friends Society held their quarterly meet

Beside goodly number of members of the soci-

FORMER CONTRACTOR.

1t will be seen that on the present bids the new
Arithmetics are somewhat dearcr than the old ,
but from the gradual method of introducing the
new books, the additional expense will be very
slight, and will be less than the cost of the old
Arithnletics last gear.
In reference to the rejection of these books by
the Baltimore City Board, after their use for six
years, 1t might be well to suggest to those who
have read the remarks heretofore made on this
subject, that the Baltimore City Board, did not
adopt the book that we have just rejected, us might
seem to be the inference, but OH the contrary,
they refused to adopt that book and took an en-
tirely different one, and at higher price than
Brooks.
By comparing the list of prices just given, it
will be seen that the old Readers are from to
331 per cent dearer than the new, except in the
case of the LIST Reader, which is the same price.
The Primary Speller of The new series is slight
ly cheaper than the old one and the Pronoun-
| cling Speller about a per cent. dearer. Smiths

will ofcoursc save the difference between its

BURNING OF A HOTEL IN NEW YORK.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, caught
fire on Tuesday night, and the two upper
stories were destroyed None of the guests
were injured, but after the fire was subdued
the bodies of eleven women, servants in the
house, were found lie an upper room, charred
and burned beyond recognition, some of
them havinglapparently died in great agony.
The windows of the room in which they slept
were barred, and the flames preventing their
escape by the staircase, they were obliged to
resign themselves to their horrible fate.
The proprietors of hotels should be held to
a strict accountability when they fail to pro-
vide means ofegress not only for their guests,
bnt also for their domestics, in case of fire.

commit rape upon the person ola little white
girl, seven years old. The child, whose name

Saint Louis.

The Saint Louis Republican, which We have
often spoken of as the ablest and most enterpris.
ing newspaper concern west of new New York
city, if indeed any establishment at the east can
be justly excepted, occupies some thirty.si1 col.
umns of nonparei, in its issue on the 1st of Jan.
uary, with a minute statistical review of the
business of st. Louis for tho past year. The
amount of matter thus compressed in the col.
umns of single issue Of this mammoth sheet
would fill an ordinary octave volume Of three
hundred pages Without pretending to Ego
through" this voluminous array Of facts and
figures, we give from tho Republ,can's resume of
the whole, few figures indicating tho grand
result: t-
Despite the unfavorable condition Of the riv.

terially reduced the business Of the city, there
is not branch of trade which does not show
material gain. In general merchandize-dry
goods, groceries, Observation-Disclosures shrink.
ago OF values common to the whole country, tho
gross sales of the year show An increase of fully
80 per cent; our iron manufacturer, delayed, as
they were, by low water in the rivers, have in.
creased their manufacture of product from e..
600 to "a, SOD tons; tho receipts Of grain have
Increased from So,3Uo,JlU bushels IN 1870 to ~.

1851 900 in the preceding year and to accom-.
modate this increase in trade our banks have
added nearly q million dollars to their capital,
and the deposits and discounts have increased
fully rs per cent. The tables furnishsd BY the
custom-house not only shsw that St. Louis Is
the first of all inland cities in its relations TO

gress recorded in manufactures, in which there
has been an increase in the aggregate capital
from $4S $50 in 1870. to So, 5sO,7Os in 1871,
and in value of article produced from $1O9, 1913.
$50 to $142,36e,135. That this increase in bust.
mesa has been followed BY . corresponding gain

OTTAWA TO HAVE
THE STATE FAIR
For the Next Two Years.

A despatch received Yesterday from
the committee of our County Agricultu-
raj Society, who visited Springfield to
secure the next State Fair for Ottawa,
announces the deciion of the State
Board in our favor: the same fact is
also announced in the Spring ield des-
patches to the Chicago papers, SO that
the thing is settled. What conditions
are annexed to this descision are not
stated, though it is intimated there are
some. The conditions doubtless have
reference to raising the necessary funds
to procure sufficient ground and to erect
the necessary buildings to accommodate
the fair, conditions with which, it is
needless to say, La Sale county now
must comply or suffer everlasting dis
grace. But on that score we do not per-
NIT ourselves TO entertain doubt. La
Sale county will have her fair grounds
in order in due season, and Ottawa will
be ready to give her %, 900 visitors dur
ing the fair week cordial and hospita-
bic reception.
The location is for two years, and the
far next summer commences on the
10Th of September.

little girl of 8 years out of the city and
committed upon her brutal outrage, OF
which the child will probably die. The mig
ger was arrested and lodged in Jail; but the
people became so excited on hearing the de-
tails OF the outrage, that large mob col
lected in front Of the Jail, and demanded the
negro, to inflct on HIM summary punishment.
The Sheriff resisted, called the local military
to his aid, the mob was fired upon, and
several white men killed and wounded. The
city is still under military patrol, and
intensely excited.

Notes from the Agricultural R.n,r.

Notes from the Agricultural Report.
We are indebted to the Agricultural Burean
at Washington tor copy of the last monthly
report, from which We CLEAN few items:
The quantity of corn produced in the
United States in 1871 is estimated at 81. O92.
900, 900 bushels
The total production of potatoes is larger
than that of last year IN all the Middle States.

X and Nebraska. The average reduc-
Il Ne Southern States Is 5 per cent :.
-t. &c per cent: Missouri, 90; Kentucky.
20 INDIANA, Is, and Michigan, 81.
In nearly all the States the buckwheat crop
is light.
In Bucks county, Pennsylvania, the plant
ing of tobacco is increasing annually.
The pecan trees broke down with fruit in
San Antona county, Texas. The crop will
bring over 100000 in that immediate Sec
ton. The price is $3.50 bushel.
A farmer in Beaufort county, North Carroll.
ma, raised 10000 bushels ofpea nuts this year.
The average yield in that State is from 40 to
80 bushels an acre.
Cranberries grow wild, in immense
quantities, in the marshes of Prince Anne
county, Virginia. There is full crop this
year. They sell readily at $3.50 and $500 a
bushel.
The banana crop in Florida is promising
Not so with the oranges.
Everywhere an extraordinary quantity of
mast is reported, which accounts III part for
the cheapness and abundance of pork the
present year.
Jute seed has been planted with success in
portions OF the South.
James Smith, of Ce2arville, Washington
Territory, raised 1000 bushels of wheat ON &c
acres of land-46 bushels to the acre. In the
spring of 1870, he writes, the land was COW
cred with brush and timber. 1t was cleared
in the summer, and got ready for sowing
February 1, 1871, without blowing, and the
seed was narrowed in by February 10. Fin.
ished thrashing on the 9TH OF September.
Italian bees imported into Utah last spring
have proved a decided success. They are
much better than the Attic bees.
Pulaski county, Virginia, is said to be
beautiful blue grass region. Superior coal
and iron of good quality are found there.
Food fishes are rapidly increasing in mum.
bers in the rivers and streams of Great Brit
ain. The increase in the salmon supply is
especially noted. The fishermen of the Cor.
nish rivers agree that where there was one
salmon or salmon trout last year there are fifty
now
