Asbtabula Harbor never presented such
sight as on Sunday aud Monday last.
The number of vessels lying at the docks
on Sunday was not SO great as on Mon
day, but the sight was more attractive
and gay, from the numerous flags, both
British and American, pennants, union
Jacks, &C., that were flying from their
mast heads. Monday, however, present
ed the largest number Of vessels, there
having been severa. arrivals during the
night of Sunday, and Monday morning
The number-of schooners, two and three
masters. all told, was eighteen; the ma
iority of these were ladened with ore, and
or ofthe number with Canada ore. Be-
sides these. there were two tugs, belong
ing TO the harbor, and the large propeller
w. 81. Barnum. This propeller and sew
eral of the sailing vessels were among the
larger sized craftS-some of them carry
Ing over 1 900 tons of ore. while others
ranged from 800 ions down TO some three
or four The Canada vessels, coming as
they do through the canal locks, are ne
cessarily small These vessels are en-
gagged in the ore trade between this har-
Dor and Marquette, Escanaba. L'Anse,
&C., of The American ports, and Kingston,
and Cobourg, of Canada. While the
vessels from Canada come loaded with
ore, generally, they return with coal TO
Port Colburn, Toronto, Hamilton and
other points, thus exchanging the pro
ducts of the British mines for those of
the STATES, and mainly of our own State.
This amount of shipping begins to crowd
matters little, and shows to our A., Y
& P. folks the necessity for more room for
the growing business, that even in these
sluggish times, is seeking accommodation
at this port. 1t is also forcible argu-
ment for putting forth the utmost energy
by the L. S. & NJ. S. Co., in the building
and completion of their docks, and the
furnishing of facilities for the amount of
commerce that Il has become evident will
make this port its point of business. The
first officer of the Morey, who left VI eye
land on Monday morning, assures US that
he found on his arrival at Ashtabula har-
Dor, larger amount of shipping than
was TO be seen IN the port of Cleveland
1t will thus be seen in this our first W hole
season of business, we have already
eclipsed the port of Erie, and are crowd
ing the port OF Cleveland. That which is
needed, then is the facilities for business,
and the question of its finding its way,
and centering here, may be safely left to
the future, The importance OF Ashtabu-
la harbor as lake port is not among the
contingencies of this world-it is sure
thing.

HEALTH FOR THE NATION IAN aston
ishing discovery was accidentally made at
Fon du Lac, Wis, in 1878. by Mr.. George
Hunter, OF great national remedy for
many of the ills and diseases u which hu-
manity is subject. While sinking an arte-
siaR-well at an unusual depth of 1877 feet,
in order 10 obtain a sufficient flow of wa
ter for manufacturing purposes, vein
was struck, which has since proven to be
highly charged with magnetic and medi-
cinal l-qualities, and many suffering from
diseases of long standing, especially rheu-
matism nervous, paralytic and kidney
diseases, have found entire relief from the
use of these waters, when all other reme-
dies have failed The restorative and
healing virtue Of these waters we feel safe
in recommending TO the afflicted, as we

setting forth many cases which have been

THE MAYOR.
Some days since it looked as though
the Governor would relieve the city of
one ofits greatest troubles by the removal
of HaYemeyer from the Mayorality, but
as his term is short he will probably
permit him to remain. 1t is claimed that
the Mayor is actually insane, and his acts
give color to the claim. he is not in
sane he is the most pig headed. stupid man
that ever lived. Elected as a reformer he
has played perpetuaIly into tine hands OF
the ring, and has openly affiliated with
them. He is very old and is probably
somewhat deranged. This theory of GO
ing 90 grave-yards for officials never did
answer. The citizens will know their
man next time.

Leather and Iron.

t is fact not generally known that
the value of the leather product of the
United States is greater than the value
of the iron product. The following
statistics will be of interest: During
the year 1870 there were in the United
States 4, 237 tanneries and 3,0S2 curry
ing establishments, employing 30,Sll
men, and using 255 $50 cords of bark.
A capital Of S55, 024, 300 was invested

men. The value of the product exceed
ed $3.50, 200, 900 while the value of the
iron business was less,than 100000 900,
of the cotton manufactures less than
SIZE, 900, 900, of wooden goods less than
S20S, 100000. To greater extent than
most other articles leather, when
worn out, is an absolute LOSE, as IL can
not then be utilized to any great extent.
Iron and most Of the other articles
above mentioned, when worn, out, are
utilized and perform important func.
tons in the economy of uses.

local Elections.
Hon. Horace Maynard accepted an
invitation to make speech at Thorn
Grove July 29th. There were between
four and five hundred persons present,
all of whom gave him the most re-
spectful attention for two hours.
He commenced by abiding to times
of the past, when he addressed that
people The last time he addressed
them was thirteen years ago, in 1861
when he happened to pass along that
way and found a company of Home
Guards drilling. They had called upon
him for an address. Since then many
things had happened-some to make
mel glad, many to make us sad. Some
who were present then had passed
away and their places are vacant.
Times have changed. Men have
changed Politics have changed. Some
men were slow to adapt themselves to
changes, while others acted wiser.
He was not going to say unkind
words about anybody. He was not
there to interfere with the local can
vass before the people. He would not
speak on that subject. He would speak
Of the acts of Congress. He had repre-
sented the people for half generation.
He had acted with the Republican par
ty. He had never faltered in his devotion
to the Union. He knew that secession
meant war and had told the people so.
1t was unnecessary to say how his pre-
diction had come TO pass. When the
war commenced there were but two
parties in the country. One carried
the old flag and kept step to the music
OF the Union, while the other trained
under a new and strange flag. He,
with a large majority of those who
heard him, had attached himself TO
the party that defended the old flag.
he then spoke Of the progress of the
war and its results. How victorious
volunteer army, composed of nearly
million of men had been mustered out
of service in a few weeks from the
time of Lees surrender, and had
returned to their places in civil life
without disturbance of any kind. 1t
was most gratifying commentary
upon the character of our Government
and people.
The rebels had tried 10 break up the
Government because they couldn't
take their slaves into the territories,

Meadows and Pastures.

An English farmer of large expert
ence states in the Country Gentleman
that natural grasses on suitable lands,
held sacred from the pillow, are bene-
fitted 10y close grazing and improved
by tramping. Even the meadows by
the Thames river, near London, and
all other mowings in England which
supply the metropolis with hay, are
rolled and bGsh-harrowed and rolled
again, to encourage all the fine thick
set dwarf varieties of grass, which in
England are held in higher estimation
than timothy and orchard grass, which
are never desired alone for pastures or
mowings, and only grown anywhere
as single sorts among scores of other
grasses. The treading of old grass
land by sheep, and by stock generally,
when not wet enough to poach, is ben
eticial to the mowings and all upland
grass which may have been moved for
years, is greatly improved by being
grazed instead of being moved, because
the fertility is increased from the dung
and urine of the stock, which should
always be cows and sheep, and all the
better for proportion of horses.

HE HATES GRANT.

But you think Grants conduct in
vetoing the bill was most admirable.
What were all the appliances brought
TO bear on Grant to make him thwart
the wishes of a majority of the people,
do not know. Grant has the reputa-
ton of having great veneration for
wealth and money,and there is grave
suspicion among some that this rich
committee carried down to Washing
ton stronger arguments in their peck cts
Than they did in theiI heads.
The above extract is from Col. John
H. Crozier's open letter to Truman
Smith, published in Sundays Press
and Herald. Col. Crozier does not like
Gen. Grant We have understood that
he does not like Gen. Burnside, nor
Gen. Sherman, nor any of the promi-
nent Union officers. They were in the
army sent down by the Union people
that did the terrible things he pictures
in the letter from which the above is an
extract. Col. Crozier's hatred of
President Grant prompts him to make
the insertion that he was paid money
by the capitalists of New York to veto
the currency bill. We do not believe
there isan bonest sensible, unprejudice
man in the United States who believes
the charge insinuated in the extract
we have made. If Gen. Grant had re.
ceived cent of money or considera-
ton of value of any kind or amount
for that veto, it would be known to-
day everywhere. 1t would be imposs
sible to keep such thing secret Col.
Crozier shows his hatred and bitter
ness when he makes the insinuation.
He has no proof of it, not even enough
to base a suspicion upon, and he does
his party friends in Knox county no
good when he stirs up bad feeling by
making the statement.

PHILADELPHIA ILLUSTRATES the
influence Of manufacturers in building
up cities. We called attention recent
ly TO her meagre foreign trade-barely
one twelfth that of New York. Yet
her population in 1870 was ga, 022,
nearly five that of New York
S42, 292-occupying 1896 dwelling
houses, three.fourths more than the
number Of dwellings in New York,
64,Oi4. You seek in vain through her
borders for the squalor and degreda
ton which tester in certain localities In
New York, where underground and in
the most wretched novels human beings
are crowded as in the hold of a SLAYER in
the middle passage. Unlike New York
the names on the signs and the LAM
guage in the streets give assurance
that you are in an American city,
among American people. The secret
Of her prosperity, this multitude Of
happy homes lies in the vast number
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1874-08-05

OF her work shops and manufactures,
where everything is made, from an
iron steamship to carpet. The an
nual production is simply enormous,
ana the greater part goes in wages to
support aud enrich the labOrers who
occupy and own the most of these
thousands Of dwellings. Even her
foreign trade, unlike that of other
cities, is made up largely of her own
fabrics exported, and raw materials
brought back in exchange. She, of
all our cities, alone has a line Of steam
ships to Europe. The strength Of her
commerce is at home, with the in
terror. Ceaselessly but noiselessly for
the last twenty years she has extended
her railroads into every part of the
country until now she is the real cen.
ter OF the American railroad system.
Withal, she adopts liberal and en-
lightened policy which gives her an
influence paramount to any other city
in the land. 1t only remains to add
the significant fact that of all our
large cities she alone is decidedly re-
publican in politics.

THE fact that Hon. Horace Maynard
in response to invitations of the PEG
pie, has consented to make two
speeches in this county has terribly de.
moralized the Democratic city ring
who supposed they were to have the
speech making all their own way.
They cry out now that il is not right
for such prominent men as Mr. May
nard to mix up in county elections.
That is a new idea aud has just struck
them. The Nashville papers are be-
fore us, and in them we find appoint
ments for barbecues and mass meetings
for every dayand night until the county
elections on the 9th. Such speakers as
Ex-Gov. Neil S. Brown, Gen. j. NJ.
Quarles, Gen. w. b. b. Bate, ex-
Chancellor Ed. H. East, Gen. w. H.
Jackson, Judge Abe. Demoss, etc,
etc, are advertised to speak. Gov. Jno.
G. Brown writes letter to Memphis
giving his views of the State finances
for use in the county canvass, and yet
the Democratic city ring here, sud
denly conclude that they don't want
any speeches in Knox county. We
do not blame them If we saw defeat
staring us in the face as they have, we
wouldn't want it understood that we
were working any.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1874-08-05

Col. CROzIER in his Truman Smith
letter, says Grant is frivolous man,
possessing neither craftsmanship nor
political ability of any kind" The
Colonel and his friends used
to abuse Grant all during the
rebellion for not knowing anything
about war When running from his
armies so fast that you could play
dominoes on their coat tails, they still
insisted that Grant was no General. 1t
is rather late in the day now to abuse
him. That failed signally in 1872.
