To EXCHANGES AND CORRESPONDENTS.
Our exchanges and correspondents will con-
fer favor upon US if they will address all
papers and letters intended for this Office
plainly to Ch"r1estOrn, J.:6erson County, Vest
Tirginia. Large numbers of letters and
papers which should otherwise reach us
promptly are miscarried to Kauawha c. H.,
[Charlestou.) and the greatest source of this
Inconvenience is the neglect of our editorial
brethren and correspondents to place the name
of our county upon our pOstOfice address
Our friends will confer favor by applying
the proper remedy in future.

unusually small advances they obtained on
the same, and that they are consequently now
able to hold or sell the remainder without
necessarily requiring advances or payment
until the time when the money will be needed
for the preparations for raising the new crop.
As an evidence of this statement, the Sdran-
nah Advertiser mentions several offers in the
market by cotton factors of loans at rates
ranging from to 10 per cent.
The export trade of Boston seems to have
suffered q decline of fully ten per cent in
1874, as compared with the preceding year.
This decline, however, was by no means gen.
eral, but was confined wholly to provisions,
in which the falling off aggregated over

on the contrary, an increase in the exports of

have remained nearly stationary. More than
one-half of the whole value Of exports of
every description went to Great Britain, as

A Child's Honor of Kellogg.

LAFoURCHE, JAN 25, 1875.
Mr.. Eaitor-I hope you will excuse the lib
erty take in addressing you; but wish to
relate little incident which happened at our
home day or two ago. We are all great
readers and Padmirers of the BULLETIN I
have little sister, Katie, four years old, who
constantly hears us speak of Kellogg in no
very loving terms, and listens to the noble de-
nuncia1ions of the BULLETIN whenever it is
read aloud by one us; and so, of course, i'm
AGNES him dreadful monster. She has fire.
quently heard the sheriff would sell us out if
we failed to pay our taxes-not even sparing
her favorite doll Very innocentlv, the other
night she said: Mamma is Kellogg the
sheriff. Thus showing that even the little
children of our land regard with holy horror
the detestable usurper who tyrannizes over
our people.

VARIETIES THEATER.-On ordinary occasions
lnclement weather and an overcast SKY would
deter theater goers from venturing out, but
from the house present at the Varieties last
night it was evident that there was more
than an ordinary attraction. The programme
for the evening was a second performance of
''Self," with Mr.. John Owens in the character
of John Unit
| We have had the pleasure of sitting before
the foot-lights when this cultured gentleman
has acted almost his entire repertoire, and
we are satisfied with the exception of his
masterpiece, Caleb Plummer,) he has no
character in which he evidences his genius
like that of Unit.
Miss Ada Gilman has already drawn the
public toward her. The true simplicity of
style, fervor of pathos, and maidenly bearing
shown throughout, was meritorious.
The whole cast was far beyond that pre-
sented when Mr.. Barretts company was here,
and was noticed ky those fully competent to
Judge.
There will be grand Owens matinee
| to day.
| ACADEMY OF Music" Diane" in which
the Linguards have achieved the most bril-
liant and substantial success, was repeated at
the Academy last night to an exceedingly fair
house, considering the weather
AS the Countess of Lys, Miss Alice Dunning
Lingard displayed considerable power and
intelligence, and personated the part with
great sweetness and naturalness. VIM. Hor-
ace Lingard, without having much scope for
fine acting as the Duke De Riva, was careful,
played AIaximillian De Ternon in a very
manly and effective manner
The support on the whole, however, was
cold and monotonous; this was especially no.
ticeable in the leading business. At the
matinee to-day and tonight "Diane" will be
given for the last time.
ST.. CHARLES THEATER-Joe Murphy ap-
peared again last night in his great play
"Maum Gre" before good audience,
Maum Gre is q first class play of the
age, and in it Murphy needs but to be seen to
be appreciated.
The audience present was large considering
the tempestuous night, and that gentleman
has reason to congratulate himself upon his
reception.
The play passed off smoothly, and when
the curtain fell it was upon pleased and
well satisfied audience.
A GRAND CoNCERT.-There will be given at |
Grunewald Hall, on Friday, February 5th, a
concert of talented amateurs, for the benefit |

GAYETY THEATER.-A crowded house last |
night, despite the weather, were on hand at
this popular variety theater. Schumann's
Transatlantic Combination have proved
strong attraction, and coupled with host of
other talent, it is no wonder that the theater-
going public are not slow to recognize this
