There are hopeful signs in the
South of an abandonment of the credit
system, which has dono much toward
keeping the people, from planter to
field hand, in a ruined and exhausted
condition. Early in the year factors
and bankers adopted resolution not
to make any advances on crops, and
very few planters have been able to
oct supplies Of provisions or loans OF
money without substantial security
This will be better for the planters
Let Southern employers adopt the
same rules in the payment Of their
help as prevail at the North, no pay
until work is done, and industry will
be quickened by the hunger Of the
lazy.

WOODEN DoLLs.--Tho Cooperative
Co., of Springfield, with capital of
$4,000, failed last fall. The real
estate which cost $4,000 has been
sold for 47,l10, and Hydraulic press
that cost $4,000, for less than $500.
The stock in $40 shares was largely
taken by working people, including
widows, orphans and yoang ladies'
One man lost his house, Others all
they had, All the property sold went
to pay the debts.
The cause Of the failure is thought
to be the high cost of making the
dolls. There is no proof of fraud or
embezzIement. The man who was
about to commence proceedings
against the company for al infringe
ment Of his patent for COMPRISING

Charles Backus, an employee OF

Rutland, while undressing on Tuesday
night, OF last week, fell backward into
a chair in which was set, bottom side
up, a common tumbler of small size.
Mr.. Backus's weight was about two
hundred and forty pounds, and in his
fall he struck the glass squarely within
his lower bowel, or rectt0a, and with
such force as to drive the lumber so
far as to prevent its being dislodged
from its very singular and painful
position until the next day. The
wound was so severe, however, that
inflammation set in and he died on
