SHERIFF WARREN of York county, writes

SHERIFF WARREN of York county, writes
us to correct certain reports about the jail
trouble at Alfred which have hitherto been
printed. The charges was made because, as
Mr.. Warren says, Warden Rice and the In
spectors of the State Prison complained that
girls in the employment of Mr.. Bennett cor
responded with the inmates of the Thomas
ton institution. Sheriff Warren, thinking
that this was improper, asked the jailor to re-
sign but he refused to do SO, and was remov-
ed on Wednesday. The Sheriff says he pro-
poses to keep Jail himself hereafter.

WHEN the reports of. the imports of the
country for the fiscal years ending June 30th
1872 and June Both 1873 are compared, it
will be found that during the latter period
the amount and value of manufactured arti-
Giles and luxuries have largely fallen off in
comparison with the previous year. This
indicates that American manufacture
ers are successfully competing with for
eign nations for our own trade, both in the
variety and value of their products. 1t also
indicates that our people are getting over the
idea that no article of apparel is stylish
unless it is made in Europe. If some of the
surplus pride that our people exhibit about
the national honor in reference to inter-na-
tional disputes could be changed into just
regard for the results of American industry
and would show itself in determination to
make the nation independent of the skill of
other countries by patronizing our own, q
great benefit would result to the nation
therefrom which now is entirely wasted,
