1t is generally conceded that Tropic
Furnace is one of the most complete
furnaces in or around this place. The
men who had charge of building it are
all men of experience. Ezekiel Jones,
the principal man, has had much expe-
rience at furnaces. He was for long
time at Orange, in this place, and then
he was for considerable length of time
at the furnaces in Clay county, Indi-
ana.
Jonah Jones, his brother, is also prac
tical furnace man.
Daniel D. Morgan, another of the active
partners in the erection of Tropic. is a
man of much experience, and sound
judgment. He was manager at Cambria
Furnace before he came here.
David D. Davis was for manv wears
manager at Cambria, is a man of much
experience, and as business man is al
ways honorable and reliable.
With such force of active, expert
enced men working harmoniously to-
gether, it is no wonder that complete
furnace was the result.

We can say to those who desire to To-
cate in the thrifty, fourishing and pro-
gressive town of jackson, that they can
find almost everything here which makes
it desirable. In the first place our town
is remarkably healthy place. The gen.
eral health of Jackson has been good
during the past eighteen years that we
have resided here, and during the present
when so many places have been scourged
by epidemics, jackson has enioyed its
usual health.
The citizens of jackson are generous,
benevolent, kind hearted sociable peo-
pie. There is nothing little or mean
about them. One little incident which
took place recently will illustrate our
meaning. Our citizens in few hours
raised three hundred dollars to aid our
home band. This was referred to in some
of the papers in the neighboripg counties
as somethingremarkable, or praiseworthy.
But it is just what our people would do
in any other case where a worthy object
needed aid.

We saw Mrs. Sally Rice in town on
Saturday. She is the mother of James L.
Rice of this place, and widow of jeremiah
Rice, late of Bloomfield township. Mr..
Rice was our neighbor at Oak Hill many
years ago. He was one of the Justices of
the Peace in Madison township about
thirty years ago, and held the same office
in Bloomfield some ten years ago. He
removed to Minnesota, where he died.
Mrs Rice is now about 70 years of age.

1t is admitted by all who
know, that J.C. Cahoon can
take as fine likenesses as can
be taken in this part of the
State. All he asks is, that you
call and see specimens of his
work. He has had a great
many years experience in the
business, and keeps fully up
with all improvements in the
business. Remember the

The newspapers in a majority of the
counties in this State are now passing
through their annual abuse of each other,
and abuse of candidates for Office. Dur
ing the past year we have been more
than ever convinced that what the great
Charles Dickens said thirty years ago in
his American Notes. is strictly true. In
speaking of the newspaper press of the
United States he says:
Among the herd Of journals which
fare published in the States there are
some, the reader scarcely need be told. of
character and credit. From personal in
tercourse with accomplished gentlemen
connected with publica tions of this class,
l have derived both pleasure and profit.
But the name of theseis Few, and of the
others Legion; and the influence of the
good is powerless to counteract the NOR
tai poison of the bad
Among the gentry of America, among
the well informed and moderate, in the
learned professions, at the bar and on
the bench, there is, es there can be, but
one opinion, in reference TO the vicious
character of these infamous journals 1t
is sometimes contended-I will not say
strangely, for it is natural to seek excuses
for such disgrace-that their influence
is not SO great as a visitor would suppose
l must be pardoned for saying that
there is no warrant for this plea,
and that every fact and circumstance
tends directly to the opposite conclu-
sion.
When any man, of any grade of desert
IN intellect or character, can climb to any
public distinction, no matter what, in
America, without first groveling down
upon The earth, and bending the knee
before this monster of depravity; when
any private excellence is safe from IFS
attacks; when any social confidence is
left unbroken by il, or any tie of social
decency and honor is held in the least
regard; when any man in that Free
Country has freedom of opinion, and pre-
sumes to think for himself, and speak
for himself without humble reference to
a censorship which, for its rampant ig-
norance and base dishonesty, he utterly |
loathes and despises in his heart; when !
those who most acutely feel its infamy |
and reproach it cas;s upon the nation, |
and who most denounce il TO each other. |
dare to set their heels upon, and crush it |
openly, in the sight of all men; then l |
will believe that its influence is lessening, |
and men are returning 10 their manly |
senses. But while that Press has lis evil |
eye in every house, its black hand in
every appointment in the State, from a
president TO a postman; while, with
ribald SANDER for its only stock in trade,
It is the standard literature of an enor-
nous class, who must find their reading
n newspaper, or they will read at all;
30 long must its odium be upon the coun-
rvs head. and SO long must the evil it
works be plainly visible in the Republic"

We paid the Woolen Factory another
visit. We went up stairs, and there
found Jos. Andres jr., running spinning
machine. There were 24O spindles.
There was large amount of machinery,
commencing with carding machine and
several hands were employed, men and
women. The wool when coming from
the machine was in roll twice the thick
ness of mans thumb, which was con-
tinuous, and wound around large spools.
These were put upon another machine,
and after passing through, came out very
much extended and condensed, and was
but little thicker than straw This was
wound upon small spools. These were
the spools from which the thread was
spun.
In the lower room woman was weav-
ing blankets. There were four leaves of
gears, two of which were drawn down.
and two up as each thread passed through.
