territory of a new Diocese. The reso-
lu,ions looking towards this however,
were voted down by large majority,
the members from West Virginia, Tor
the most part, l believe, not voting. 1t
is very gratifying to the frlenos
OF the proposed new diocese OF
West Virginia tina, most OF the
clergy AID parishes of Jefferson and

gracefully their opposition and will come
with us. and no doubt they will all do so
at no late day.

quite harmonious and pleasant.

Cotton manufacture in England was in
n very primitive state up to the time oil
the Revolution, and flax took the lead in
the spinning and weaving districts. The
cotton yarn used was made in private
houses, mostly By women, and the process
was so slow that much OF the weaver's
time W as taken up in going round TO buy
yarn. As neither wheel nor hand could
spin more than one or two threads at a
time. and they could not supply the de-
mand for yarn, a series OF Inventions soon
followed. The story of the spinning jen-
ny is well known. what an uproar was
caused by the first improvement on the
spinning wheel, and how the inventor OF
the jenpy was mobbed and his machin-
eryAestroyed, while he was driven from
Mis- hone. AAherwards, when the spin
ming jenny began to come into general
use, the alarmed spinsters, fearing their
occupation was eone. arose second time,
secured the country. aud broke to pieces
every carding and spinning machine to be
found. But all this tumult was OF nc
avail for the spinning wheelwas doomed.
