also found it in uniform purity and general
good qualities, superior to any other oil have
seen, and as SUCH recommended il to nv
friends and the public generally, as the most
reliable oil for family use now in the market.
As Refiners, ] congratulate YOU upon your
signal success in manufacturing an oil posses.
sing the very best qualities, Safety, Purity,
and the production OF most brilliant light.
In using the" Alta Safety Oil in my household
| have found it to give light for reading or
writing superior to gas and believe with ordi
nary care, that an accident with this oil is
impossible, Wishing you, continued success
with the Alta Safety, which you SO justly

the English expert, who was sent ont by

The Columbus. Ga, Enquirer says that
since the 1st of September the manufacto-
ries in Columbus hive taken 6,059 bales Of
cotton, against ,773 the same time last
year, showing an increase of 1,2S6. Last
year, to this date, there were taken ,3ST
bales from this market for the Tallahassee
factory in Alabama. The mills in Column
bus make tie market lively when it is
sometimes at it's lowest pitch. The bales
received in seed cotton still remain to be
added, which will add about thousand
bales to the receipts of the market. These
factories support, directly and indirectly,
thousands of people. The pay rolls every
at least $40 900.
Europe AS in this country, but in quite the
other direction. Not only has London
beeu wbteped with successive snow
storms, and Paris seen more and better
skating than New York. but the streets of
Toulouse, tue fair Provencal city of
Southern France, has been six inches
deep in snow, and the Garonne has been
frozen over completely. In Italy the
country between Genoa and Lsghorn,
whittier invalid Britons ard Americans
have been wont to seek refuge from the
blasts of the inclement North, has been
buried in snow drifts, and snow lies about
Naples and on the very slopes of Vesuvius.

weather has contributed greatly to delay
the operations Of the AIfonsist army against
the Carlists, who occupy region no more
important relatively to the rest of Spain,
than Oregon or Maine relatively to the rest
of the United States, bat who have been
efficiently protected against the national
forces of the snow clad cliffs and peaks of
the precipitous Pyrenees of Biscay.
