SAwDUsr BRANDY.-We are sorry to learn that
a German chemist has succeeded in making q
first rate brandy out Of sawdust. We are friend
of the temperance movement, and We want it to
succeed, but what chance will it have when man
can take rip.saw and go out and get drunk with

smashes out OF the shingles on his roof, or if he
can get delirlum tremens by drinking the legs of
his kitchen chairs? You may shut an inebrate

at reform must necessarily be failure. Il will

ANOTHER SAD AFFAIR.-A Young
Man and Horse Drowned.-Henry
Dickel, young man aged about IS
years, driver of Mr.. F. Petrikin's Ex-
press wagon was together with the horse
be was driving-which was also owned
by MIR. P.-drowned in the West
Branch river, at point called Char
ney's eddy, on Friday afternoon last be-
tween TIE hours of l and 2 o'clock. 1t
is believed the unfortunate young man
drove his wagon into the river for the
purpose Of catching driftwood, and in
doing so miscalculated both the depth
of the water and the force of the current,
as his horse stood in the river but few
moments before he lost his foot hold and
went down. At this moment, it is
thought the young man could have saved
his own life IRON the position he cccu
pied, but it seems he left the wagon and
sought to aid the horse, and in his eff
orts to do so became entangled with the
lines or some part OF the harness and
was dragged to the bottom. lmmedia-
tly after the sad affair happened hund,
reds of persons lined the river bank and
many were the efforts made by our citi
zens to recover his body, but not un
til Monday last were any one successful,
when it was found about one mile from
where the drowning took place, on the
opposite side of the river.
A coroner's inquest was held by Jas
Whitby, Esq, and verdict of accidenta
drowning rendered.
The body of the horse, with part o.
the wagon attached was found near Glel
Union, about Is miles below this place
on Saturday last. Mr. Pertikin had al
insurance policy of 500 on the life o

PHILADELPHIA CARPET WEAVING
The Ledger gives some figures show
ing the importance Of carpet weaving
as an industrial interest For twenty
five years it has been steadily increasing,
until within the last eight years the ag-
gregate amount Of ingram carpets made
there exceeds the total of similar goods
manufactured elsewhere throughout the
United States. There are now in
Philadelphia abont $50 factories, with
1000 looms, and before the strike the
production averaged $4,000 pieces of
l25 yards each, or 100000 yards per
month, or 100000 yards for the ten
months that the factories are iu opera
ton. In the busy season about 5000
persons are employed in the factories
directly, independent of the dryers and
others remotely interested, Involving a
monthly outlay for wages of about $780,
900. The amount of capital invested
may be estimated from the fact that the
yearly sale of carpets alone, reach over
100000.

OUB POPULATION, 26,OS7.-Thc
appearance of the City Directory has
been eagerly looked for in order that we
might know how fast we have grown
during the past four years. The in
crease is about 6, 100, aud although it it
not so great as many had supposed, We
have reasons to DE proud of the figures
which will be found on another page
They show that Erie is a thoroughly
live and progressive community,and that
we are rapidly assuming that position
among the prominent cities of the coun-
try which our natural advantages and
enterprise entities us to take. Of course
our growth from 1870 to 1880 will be
much greater during the last half OF
that period, but even at the present
ratio we shall have a population OF So
600 in 1880; though it may be safely
estimated at 10000. The sleepy Bor-
ough has outgrown It's lethargy (who
knows but that much reviled class, the
"carpet baggers," may have had some
thing to do in arousing the sleeping
giant?) and henceforth she will display
all the vim and energy Of the most ac-
tive municipalities. Let us crow.-Ertc
