In discussing the lime interest, our
Knox County correspondent says:
| AT a meeting OF the lime manufacturers
OF Knox Co. the Goth, the plan of coop
GRAFTON abandoned one year ago was dis
cussed 1t is to be hoped by all interested
in the financial prosperity Of the county,
that the old plan may be readopted There
are a tew-but one or two-who, under a
mistaken policy insist upon standing out
| side the association.
| The wisdom Of the cooperative policy
should be too apparent to need demon
| stration, yet many who are not lime man.
utacturers, and know nothing compare
| lively Of its trade pulse, or its manipula-
ton from the quarry to the consumer,
stand ready to swear down anything, if
by so-doing they can make selfish capital
theretrom. The lime balances on the
wrong side Of profit and loss the past
year, are not alone due to the demand
The years ~ and 10 were years of I'M
parallel prosperity to the lime business Of
Knox Co. Although the demand for the
latter was much less than for the former
year, vet there was handsome profit to
rise up as a swift witness against the
abandonment Of the policy The average
price OF lime sold by the association for
the two years named, was $l.0G. The
average price OF lime from this county in
"a, as nearly as can be computed is 81
cts. Thus an enormous loss has actually
been sustained. The difference IS due
wholly to the dissolution Of the association
This difference is worthy of note, not
only to limeburners, but to every citizen
OF Knox Co. Figures will not lie. Knox
County produced in 1874, about 100000
barrels of lime. Sold at the average price
OF all lime ever sold by the association, a
difference of 25 cts per barrel would have
been realized $25O,000 would make
ANYTHING but trivial difference for the
year. 1t is hoped that those who are
disposed to throw obstacles in the way
Of the reinstatement of the association
policy, will not stand in their own light,
that shadow may fall upon another.

The suicide Of Rev j. n Coombs,
pastor Of the West Presbyterian Church in
Washington on Sunday, was altogether a
sad affair 1t appears that he had been in
the habit Of visiting bookstore on Penn
sylyania avenue, examining the books,
but never making purchases. The book
seller has frequently missed books, and
was on the alert to discover the thief On
Saturday Mr. Coombs visited the store and
proceeded to examine the books While
the attention Of the bookseller was divert
ed, Mr.. Coombs left the store Upon look
ing for the volume he had been reading it
could not be found. The proprietor I'M
mediately went in pursuit OF Mr. Coombs,
who was soon overtaken and charged with
the theft> Mr. Cocmhs became painfully
agitated, admitted the charge, restored
the distracted volume, made his name and
profession known, and pleaded piteously
not to be exposed. SUNDAY morning Mr..
Coombs read in the papers IN account of
the theft, whereupon he repaired to his
room, and nothing further was seen of
him by the family with whom he was
boarding. His congregation had assem-
bled as usual tor public worship, and after
waiting beyond the regular time for his
appearance, messenger was despatched
to his residence. His room door was
forced open, when a horrible spectacle
was presented. The unhappy man had
almost severed his head from his BODY.

miliar names OF Stewart, Cooper, Bryant,
Evarts, Dodge, Field, Taylor, Johnston,
Belmont, Schultz, Claflin, Cisco, Morgan,

which New York has yet given; and it
calls upon the people to rise above all
municipal and State jealousies, and give
to it their sympathy and practical support

a SNAKE SToRY.-A gentleman living 10
the lower part of Caroline county, Informed US
the other day that mammoth snake was kill
ed some two weeks ago at Mr.. Robert Ryland' $
MILL 10 King William county. Our informant
got the particulars aud size OF the monster
from relative of his who lives near the mill.
The snake was black. aud measured fifteen feet
10 length, nine inches iu circumference. and
was either four or six inches between the eyes;
our irturmant had forgotten which. His snake-
ship had been resident in and around the mill
for probably two years, and had lived pripcl-
pal!y on rats, &c He had often been seen, but
no special steps had been taken to get rid OF
him, as he did good work 10 keeping the mill
clear of rats and mice. However, it became
known throughout the neighborhood that such
a monster was Strolling about the mill, and the
ncighbors became unwilling to send their child
rem tor meal, aud the colored people were SO
frightened that they would not think OF visit
ing the place for fear of being swallowed alive.
1t is said that the mill was losing custom so
rapidly that the proprietor kept sharp lookout
for his snakeship and the first opportunity Of
fered he was killed, after which he was meas
urcd and the dimensions given us as above
