WARS THE PRICE OF EGGs?-
One day last week, one of our "eoun
try cousins" from Ohio came acros;
the river witha basket of chen fruit.
As he carried them from the wharf to
the store, a young man about town
stepped up to the basket and said,
Whats the price of eggs? Are
they good ones?" And he took two
or three out of the basket and threw
them on the ground to see. The
man that was carrying the basket
was not large, but he was spunky,
and he put his basket one side, wa
ded right in and let the young man
know what was the price of meddling
with his eggs if you did not, want to
buy any. The few that he took, cost
him beating, and then he was ar
rested and fined. -
MoRAL.-Ifyou see a man from
Ohio with eggs, don't think you can
impose ON him, even if he is not very

EDITOR Huntington Adrertiser:
| notice the Irpnton Journal of last
week charges this office with delaying
the Mails passing between lronton
ard the upper part of Lawrence coun-
ty, and in one particular instance of
delaying a single package one week.
Now sir, with all due respect, |
must say that these charges are with
out foundation, and the article refer
red to is gross misrepresentation
from beginning to end. The article
referred to reads:
at is settled fact that it takes nearly
week to get 4 letter from lronton to any
Of the towns in the upper part Of the
county, and nearly week for the return
To show this IS an untruth, | will
state what everybody knows in the
vicinity referred to, that the mail
leaving Ironton on Monday or Tues
day, arrives at all the post Offices along
the river above Huntington aud be
low Gallipolis on Wednesday, (the
mail between these places being only
tri weekly,) and go on through the
week; thus it takes three days at the
outside, instead of "nearly week ;
1--WE favor a project to have the mai
d;stribnted un the Fashion, and only Hun
tington's own mail delivered to be opened
at that place"
This, Mr.. Journal, is the way the
mail is and always has been distribu
ted, by the Route Agent on the
Fashion.
/ would advise the par ercellen
managers OF that paper to obtain fact
before they make another such All un
warrantable attack.
Very respectfully,

The net profits of the season 1S73-1874, as
per profit and loss account, being &7,978, and the
expenses having amounted to l812,17O, it fol-
lows, the factory having turned out 3,414
tierces of sugar, that the profit per tierce has
been R2 6s. 3d., and the cost per tierce SO lis.
sgd.
This prodigious result with a yield so low as
SIS per cent. is a continued proof of the in
comparable skill of our new director, and also
NJ. Bougenot will bear US out in this-of that
of young Octave Hayot, to whom has been
entrusted the management of the works, and
whose zeal and activity give proofs of his de-
votedness to your interests.
Director, manager, and planters, have had
to struggle against a run of bad weather which
took place about the middle of the crop: con.
tinuous heavy rains occurring from the com.
mencement of April till the. month of Noyem.
Der. These untimely rains not only were the
cause of a low density of juice throughout the
island land especially at La Riviere Sal6s
where too much rain is more to be feared than
too much drought but also prevented a certain
quantity of canes from being cut. :
In taking as a point of compassionate lowest
previous yield (7'5O per cent. we should have
obtained 1,84O tons instead of 1850, being a
difference of 100 tons, which at an average
price OF 22s. Cd. per cwt. would have produced
$4,000 without an increase on the outlay, ex-
ceptiDg for hogaheads and colonial duties,

RIVIERE SALEE.-Nomjna1 Capttal 446,4 40

Your committee has to-day to lay before
you not only the result Of the 1891 season
but also that OF the previous one, which we
were unable to do as prescribed, at the end of
December, 1873, through circumstances which
we have not to explain, for you doubtless have
still fresh in your memory the Jews which the
telegraph brought to st. Pierre on the 22nd
December, 1878, at s am, that the Usine of
the Rivi9re Sal6e was burning.
A criminal hand, not discovered, had sworn
the complete ruin of our Company, but a high
er Power enabled the fire to be arrested in its
progress.
We submit to you the situation Of our Com.
pany to the 3lst October last, (lnade out as
exactly as p%ossible) after the first season under
the management of our new director.
