Juhilatiom ~ the New "Ameri-
can.''

On the evening Of the 9th inst. .
number Of our citizens met at the
hotel formerly known as the Ameri-
can House At Clarence 70 welcome
the advent Of Mr.. Alfred Day and his
excellent and accomplished lady as
smine host and hostess" of the old
American, who have given the house
such repairing, painting, papering,
cleansing, carpeting and finishing Ms
caused US al to doubt our eyes that
we we in fact inside Of what WAS
once the American.
After . season of friendly greeting
hand shaking, the doors Of the dining
room were thrown open, and tht
our eyes met such . loaded table,
rich aud tempting with delicacies and
substantials for the inner man, as VIC
are seldom permitted to enjoy at a
country hotel. 1t is useless to sa.
that each one Of our company did full
and complete justice to himself and
to that table for the next half hour
after being seated.
After eating, tossts were given
over little harmless wine which the
host kept in his cellar, and jovial re-
sponses made, expressive Of the opin-
ions which the various individuals
entertained of the new landlord.
Not satisfied, however, with the
sentiments of the said toasts, aud
feeling that there vas still something
else to be said that had not been
said, it WAS thought Sitting and prop
or to resolve something; and there.
upon q committee was appointed
consisting Of Il. b. Simmons, J. A,
Snyder and NJ. Mclaughlin, to draw
up and present such resolutions ss
would more fully express the sense
| of the meeting in relation to the good
things Aforesaid, ETC.; whereupon
said committee retired, and after q
brief time Of conference, returned
and presented the following, which
were unanimously adopted:
Resoired. lst. That We all appreciate
good victuals.
I'd, That Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Day
know how 10 get 'em up.
Sd, That We have watched witt,
pleasure the enterprise Of our new
landlord In fitting up ct great cost ami
labor the old "Amerlcsn," making j;
instead Of the old. dingy place II Oncr
was, . "thing OF beauty and JOY fr
ever" to the hungry Or the wear y
| traveller.
4th, That We cordially welcome
Mr.. and Mrs. Day ~ citisens Of Clar
ence, and that We will, - citizens,
strengthen their hands aud encourage
their hearts by our sympathy and our
aid.
5th, That these resolutions aud the
proceedings OF our meeting bs for
warded to the TIPToN ADVERTISER
for publication.

The following is the letter written
by Congressman Cotton to the Da-
venp Tt Gazeffe, with commenta hy
that paper. Il appears that Cotton
thought i,~ had bribed the G0-ees- in
the same easy manner with which he
bad been able TO supply '.principlesi'
to other paper in the District, and
was 40 surprised TO find ont his mis-
take Is to be betrayed into writing

Mr.. Cotton evidently desires 10 see
this in priut, and we publish il accor-
dinghy. As to the matter complained
Of we supposed it was notorious that
Mr. c declined to meet Lef6ngwell
in the canvass OF 1872. Our recollec-
tion is that Left. spoke twice here,
and We understood ut the time that
Mr.. Cotton WAS invited to make ap-
l,ointments in Davenport, but neglect
ed to do 30. The Desaocut Of this
city boasted that Cotton did mot dare
10 meet l1eG.. sMl other papers Of that
ilk indalged in the same brAvado.--
Perhaps Mr.. &. did not formally de-
cline, but he certainly did not accept
these challenges, and it is Irob~bly
just xs we'll that he did not.
The allnsion to the little patronage

A Grand Variety Of Products by
the Different States.

A recent report Of the Agriculture |
Department summarizes the agricuL
tural industries Of the different State /.
rs follows: In Maine, hay occupies
the first place. and dairy husbaDdry
the second hay and stock raising are
Of equal Importance in New Hamp
shire; dairy-husbandry stands high in
its prominence in Vermont in Mas
sachusetts. hay first, market garden
ing next the garden and the dairy
divide the honors in Rhode Island ;
and Tobacco stands FIRST in Connect
cut. There is much diversity in New
York, but dairy -husbandry is far III
advance, being the choice Of one-thirl
of the counties. There is much varie
ty in New Jersey; though market
gardening stands 6rst. In Penns,l-
vania manufacturing and mining
make varied production most popu-
lar, few counties exhibiting very de-
cided preference, though whoat, as {, v
would suppose, holds its place in one,
sixth Of the counties. In Delaware
tobacco; in Maryland tobacco and
fruit-growing. OF more than fifty
counties Of Virginia, sixteen favor
tobacco, nine mixed husbandry, six
corn, FIVE stock-raising, Eve market
gardening, and others peanuts, shee,'
husbandry, fruitgrowing and wheat
In North Carolina corn stands before
cotton. In Florida sugar canc is pre-.
ferred, while cotton predominates in
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi and in Texas. In Arksn.
sas corn stands first, and in Tennessee
hay and corn are preferred. In West
Virginia, corn and stock-raising: in
Kentucky, tobacco and com: in Ohio
great diversity appears-sheep hus
bandry corn, general cropping, wheat
hay and fruitgrowing. Corn il king
in Indiana, and hay next thereto
corn is also FIRST in Illinois, and whea
next. In Minnesota, wheat; IN Wis
consin, wheat and the dairy; in low,

and wheat. The order in Kansas IN.
Nebraska is wheat, sheep-husbandr.
and fruit-growing. In Oregon, whea

The London Telegraph says Of the
visit Of the Cxar and his suite 10
Woolwich: @
The party made their longest halt
ia the factory where the Nasmyth
hammer, the largest IN the world
fitted with top steam--is worked.
Adding to the forty tons failing
weight Of the hammer, the ffty-one
tons added by = full pressure Of steam
above, blow equivalent TO q weight
Of ninety -one tons can be given by it
with as much control as q child may
exercise over toy mallet. The I'm
perixl party occupied . specially
erected platform to witness the weld
ing of the trunnion coil Of . thirty
eight ton gun. The massive door Of
the furnace was raised, and in FIRE
terrible from its ferceness of its gold
en- glow stood the white hot coil--a
cylinder weighing twenty three tons
aud half This trunnion coil con-
s,s,s Of two thicknesses Of bar iron,
coiled upon the other, and the work
OF the steam hammer was to weld
them into = homogeneous cylindrical
mass. The powerful crane was set
in motion, and the swarthy smiths
spr,ng to the beautifully adjusted
machinery by which the fiery mass
wa, seized by giant tongs, swuag
glowing and hlssing out Of the ERE,
AMI placed under the hammer
Blasts of hot air rushed across to-
ward the spectators, but the vast size
of the building rendered eye protect
ors unnecessary. The coil, it ID need
less to say, was welded effectually-
the very floor, although its foanda-
tiuns sre ON = rock, vibrating with
the tremendous blows. The force
welded by but . dozen men at the
lever Of the crane was astounding !;
yet the hammer was subject 10 .
steam power more formidable than
itself. In their anxiety to see the
next process the visitors passed hur-
ried.y through the heavy turncry and
sigh,iug room, where they might
have seen thick slsbs of metal peeled
Oft the partly built gums, as spples
are peeled by dessert knife. The
party, without bestowing more than
psssing glance 1t the great guns
on the hthss, went into the open air
10 witness the shrinking on the
breeeh coil Of . thirty-five ton gun.
Lying side BY side, smiling in their
polish, lay remarkable collection of
guns ready for use. The largest
cannon was the famous thirty-eight
ton gun, the largest yet completed.
The Woolwich Infants (thirty-five
tons) were m interesting family Of
four; of TWENTY-FIVE ton guns there
were twenty-five; and twenty Of
eighteen tons, Af,cr these frightful
engines of destruction no one troab-
led himself much with the smaller
cannon, whose name WAS legion.

The following timely precautions
ry instructions are given in the Paint
aud OIL Journal: 49,
AS the handling and using Of dry
Paris green, especially by persons un-
accustomed to its use, is attended
with considerable risk, and often fol-
lowed by serious consequences, ve
make the following suggestions,
founded ON our experience As manu-
facturers: s,sss
All packages, whether large or
small, should be plainly marked poi
son. - s sa.a
There is great danger in the mix
ing Of this green for potato bug and
cotton worm poison, owing to the 6ne
dust which arises in the process,
which is inhaled and also rapidly ,ab-
sorbed by the pores Of the skin, g.
pecially If the person using il should
be in . state Of prespiration. To
guard against this, the hands and
face (psrticulsrly nostrils) should be
protected as much = possiblA and
should be carefully washed after
working in il, Or in any Of the prepa-
rations Of which it il IN ingredient.
As il penetrstes and poisons wood,
gets into the seams and creyices Of
articles made Of metal, and. even into
esrtheaware that i 1t III porous, al
household utensils, Or anything in
barn oe stable which cattle or horses
could have access to, in which the
article may have been mixed, or from
which it has been used, should be
carefully set aside, and never again
used for any other purpose.
Malignant sores are not infreQuent-
ly caused by scratching the skin
when itching or irritated from hand
ling the green. II should be con-
stantly borne in mind that it is more
dangerous and sasadly poison Than
arsenic, and farmsEA planters and
