The shipments Of these companies to foreign
countries do not begin to equal the home con-
sumption, and the large export trade Is carried on
by the Tudor Company, OF Boston, which ships to
t6e East indies. The Knlckerbocker, OF New
York, ships to the West Indies, to Charleston
and other Southern ports to Mexico and to Spain.
THE LOCAL TRADE OF THIS CITY
presents many curious general features. Private
families are not as many believe large con sumers
ing to the quantities they buy
Lager beer brewers.
Pork packers.
Ice cream makers.
Fish merchants.
Hotels
Butchers
THE LAGER BEER BREWERS
are by far the largest consumers in this market.
They buy their Ice by the ton, and sometimes at
happens that the Knickerbocker Company supplies
1900 or 600 tons week to the market, and yet
the officials assert That very small portion
OF this Ice goes to family consumption. Another
large class are ''the independent Dealers" who buy
in wholesale quantities, and with several wagons
they put up sign and pedde the ice around the
streets in minute quantities. They are the Chat
nam street operators OF the Ice trade, and do as
much as the companies to enhance the cost.
FAMILY CONSUMPTION,
however, is OF the greatest interest to the trader
as ice enters into the household economy OF every
establishment In the city. The family, as under
stood In Its ordinary sense, consumes from fifteen
TO twenty-five pounds day, which, II delivered in
quantities OF over thirty pounds at time, costs
nifty cents per hundred weight. The officials OF the
knickerbocker company maintained yesterday that
the prices would vary little from these figures but
the other companies did not assent to this propo-
sition The average family consumption Is about
100000 tons after the waste is excluded so that

house of this county a large and enthusi-
astic meeting of Republican voters, who,
after being eloquently addressed by
Messrs. w. I. Farley, Montgomery
Simms, A. w. Alexander and others,
on the issues of the day. passed the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That we, the Republicans of

w. Hughes, O. P. Ramsdell, and Judge
Fultz by the Lynchburg convention for
the offices ex-governor, acknowledgement,
and attorney general Of the state of Vr-

true who have heretofore acted with the
Conservative party will overcome their
prejudices, forget the past, and help us to
reform and rebuild in harmony with the
advanced ideas of the age and in response
to the urgent demand of the hour, that we
heartily endorse the platform adopted by
said convention, and call on all regardless
OF color or nativity, to place themselves
upon it.

Facts Well Put.

TO Tie Editor Of The State Journal:
In your issue of the 25th, | find your
gentle reply to The Dispatch in its structures
upon Americans at Vienna on the 4th ofJu-
ly. nc. and you have well and truly said the
men who did the fighting in the Conled-
crate ranks generally are the first" to ac-
knowledge and enjoy equal rights and citi-
zenship, &C., with all parts Of the Union.
They have long since left off grumbling,
fault-iinding, and whining, accepted the
situation, and gone to work, whilst
this home-guard, as you term it-these men
who were at first SO very anxious to have
war that they swore-some of them-if
Virginia did not secede they would quit
the state and ''go to Stafford" or South
Carolina one, they didn't know which.
All! how they did strut about with their
little cockades like chicken cock on an
ash pile. They were actually "spoiling for
fight" But hold on it soon turned
out there was something more than an
empty sound i'll war, and when the tocsin
sounded, these were the first to seek
bomb-proof departments, and cry out
go on boys mot come on, but 20 on), we
will stay at home, take care of your fami-
lies, get them some salt, &C., and keep up
the fences, and keep the darkies from going
to the Yankees. At first the cry was, we
will make one common lot of it not only
our lives, our sacred honor, but our pro-
perty. 10 the front, men! Your country
calls. Away with debts and money, they
all must go up now. We must give all to
the country and its cause. These were
the incipient war men. Soon the conflict
commenced in dead earnest. Where
were they? Echolanswers where ? suffice it
to say, with here and there honorable ex-
ceptions, they were not on the battlefield.
They were literally non-combatants ma
iority Of them lodging and skulking the
conscript officers worse than they did Abra-
ham Lincoln, Mcclellan, Hooker OF
Grant; blockade running, specializing in
the products of the country and upon
the needs of the poor Confederate SOL
der, seeking little Offices, civil and
political, from a magistrates place to
seat in the Confederate congress, There one
could generally find these original ''per sc"
diSjointers, and worst Of all was, when the
struggle closed, every mothers son of them
who held a piece of paper as large as
nlnepence the very moment the courts
were organized. let loose their dogs of
litigation and hunted their poor creditors
to judgement liens and despite the wall
ings OF the mother or pitiless cries of the
child for bread Or home, their money and
nothing short of their money. In vain the
poor ragged. war worn soldier would point
to his Scared breast and bruised arm, and
remind him of his bygone patriotic appeals
and philanthropic promises and pledges.
But enough of this for the present. Mr..
Editor, you have given us honest truths in
the article alluded to, and we thank you,
whether we agree politically ornot. "Trib-
ute to whom tribute is DUE" is our motto,
and we render to Caesar the things which are
his. Then hit these grumbers again, and
oblige many readers.

Horrible Confession of a Murderer.


On Thursday afternoon, Nelson Wade,
who murdered Mrs. Isabella Mcbride in
Lycoming county, made confession,
which he preceded with the remark that he
didn't 'care d-n what was done
with it." He admitted that he committed
the murder, but denied that he shot Mr..
Mcbride, as the coroner's jury decided.
The fatal injuries were inflicted with a
club. While at q farm house near by he
learned where trunk containing thous-
ands of dollars was located, and about how
much the couple were worth. On reaching
the house on Tuesday evening he asked
Mcbride for milk, and was directed to the
wife, who was about the cellar. She told
him that he would have to pay if he wanted
it. The murderer continued: | returned
to the house and found the door bolted.
The old man finally opened it, and I put my
my foot to the inside. He struck at me,
and knocked him down with my fist, as
well as silenced the dog, who made an
attack on me. | then struck Mcbride three
times with the club, and he crying murder,
| hit him again. then killed Mrs. Mcbride
with the stick, and coming back to the
house found the old man up and the dog
licking his sores. l gave him another
beating and broken open the trunk 1 was
after. | had to make two trips to carry
away the money in it. Igot between $780,
600 and $4,000 dollars. Will not tell
where it is. When die l will reveal il
to poor man, but no rich one shall have
it. Two bags of the money are buried in
Williamsport, two above and two below
the city. | have killed several women
before, and am willing to hang tomorrow.
The prisoner laughs and discusses politics
with relish. Harrisburg pa Journal.

Fruit-Trce Rorers.

The Germantown Telegraph says
Let not our readers forget that much Of the
weakening of our fruit trees is owing to
absolute starvation caused by the workings
Of slem-borers. The supply of sap up
ward is cut off by every hole which they
make, and it is just so much put in the
way OF the tree getting all the food it
needs. 1t is no use to manure trees, and
keep our eye on all other cultural details,
if these rascals are permitted to continue
their depredations. This is one of the best
seasons of the year to look after and de-
stroy them. The eggs laid during the sum-
mer are now developed to considerable
worm, and it is working its way
down between the bark and wood, or even
into the wood, so as to get comfortable
quarters for the winter. Their presence
can be readily ascertained by noting a
little fresh looking matter like sawdust
near the tree at the surface of the ground.
which the larya eject in their boring
course. To destroy them get a trowel and
dig away q little from the stem. so as TO
find exactly the opening OF the channel
made by the insect, and then thrust down
piece OF stiff wire upon it, which will
generally end its day. To many this
looks like a considerable job but A
smart hand can get through with several
hundred trees a day in this search. as the
fresh dust affords an unerring clue to the
direct whereabouts Of the marauder. This
is not only q good season to look after
this pest on this account, but as it is the
cider time the owner is generally abont
the orchard now and can oversee the
work and aid it by his advice or personal
assistance.
