Death of the Inventor of spool Thread.

Death of the Inventor of Spool Thread.
The English papers by late steamer an
nounca the death at ripe old age OF Mr..
Andrew Clark, the celebrated manufacturer,
whose name has been associated both in the
new world and the old with the famous
thread which is in universal use. He was
virtually born to the business of thread
manufacture, bis father having been engaged
in that line in Palsy, Scotland. But tie
Young inventor soon effected improvements
which revolutlonized the trade. He brought
the process of manufacture to its present per-
fiction, and was the inventor of the process
of winding it on spOols for consumers. Mr..
A. T. Stewart, of New York, with charac-
teristic sagacity, saw the Importance of the
improvements, and he introduced the arti-
Gle in this country under the name OF "Ster.
ling" or &c. S. L." thread, of the firm of
A. T, Stewart & Co. Like all inventors
Mr.. Clark was self made man. He COM
menced business in small room, but his
improvements were so valuable that his bus
mess seemed only limited by the capacity
to supply the demands of consumers, and
for wears before his death he was at the
head of the largest and most celebrated fac
tory in the world.

above question. The report, which was
unwilliTgly made by the gas company OF
the above city, shows its gross receipts for
the past year to have been $17O,991, and its

S63, l7S or 27 per cent. of the gross sales.
The actual cost of producing 1000 feet OF

Hinder instructions from Col. K. r. Cobb,
Supervisor of this distric', the Internal
Revenue officers in the 4th district OF len
n sses and Sd district of Alabama organ
izad themselves into raiding parties, on the
2Oth and 24th of last month, and proceeded
IN the regions in those districts which have
90 long been infested with wildcat or illicit
distilleries, and succeeded in finding great
deal of fraud upon the revenue, which they
were quite successful in suppressing.
Assessor j. W. c. Bryant, of the 4th
district of Tennessee, with his usual trusty
assistants. Billy Nicks and j. II. Morris,
Assistant Assessors, U. S. Gangers Barnes,
A. o. Nicks, Hammond and Bryant, with
quite number of other revenue officers,
started from Mulberry village, Lincoln
county, on the oath of March, and were ten
DAYS in the saddle, riding over 300 miles
over a territory % by Is miles. They cap
tured 20 prisoners, who were bound over
to appear at the April term of the U. >.
Court at Nashville. Some are to appear as
witnesses only, while the greater portion OF
them are charged with Illicit distilling.

Ions singlings, 200 bushels meal and malt,
and 600 gallons whisky, and shipped seven
barrels of whisky and 60 head hogs to U.
S. Marshal Spence at Murfreesborc. 1t is
thought by the officers who made this sad
havoc amongst the Illicit dstilleries, that
this is the severest blow the wild cat busi-
ness has yet received il the 4th district.
Many of the parties arrested were old OF,
tenders, for whom warrants had been out
for long time, but owing to the desperate
character of some of the men, their arrest
has been difficult.
Just previous TO the starting out OF the
above mentioned party, Collector Ephralm
Latham, Sd district of Alabama, started out
party of revenue officers from Huntsville
Ala, and the following is the result OF their
work: Destroyed eight copper stills. II
worms, enc ''cooler," 200 tubs, 10 gallons
singlings, 10,625 gallons beer, 20 tubs O
