The heart OF Steubenvile is sad so
sad that she don't know Whist to do. The
csuse which produces sIl this sadness is 8
mitch IN her pottery enterprise. And
very serious hitch it is, although We do
net think 1t is irreparsbe One OF the
main spokes in the wheel has been
knocked out in the person Of Mr.. Rigby,
the msn who proposed 10 cone to Steu-
benville from Esst Liverpool and invest
$4,000 in the business, besides being the
practical msn o. the eStablithment. Hon.
j. Dunbar to-day received letter from
DR.. Johnson, of East Liverpool, stating
that Mr. RIgby would not come to Steu-
benvllle, and that he proposed 10 with
draw his proposition. There does not
seem to be much doubt that the
news is bona ItC, Ss DR.. johnson WAS
was one Of the Liverpool gentlemen who
were here sgitaung the enterprise. This
state OF affairs does not cause Mr.. RiGby
70 show up very well NJ msn OF in.eg-
rity snd reliability, for there Is ro room
for any other supPoSltion than that he
has been offered inducements by East
Liverpool TO prevent his coming here, in
order 10 keep = monopoly OF the business
there. But We sheuld not lot the with
drswal OF one man from the contract in-
terfero with the carrying cut of the en-.
terprise when II has Just come 10 be
established surely, for certainly there are
other men who know how 80 manutac-
ture pottery besides this one man who
halls from up the river, and II there are,
they can be procured If sufficient induce.
ment is held out 10 thom. IL
would be queer thing II East
Liverpool possessed the only man or
men in sll this wide world who knew
how 10 make esrthenwsre. Let our peo.
pie move along with tho other polnls
necessary TO be perfected to establish the
business here, and there will be no DIM
Guilty in getting mSn 10 take charge oi
it. who perhaps knows as much as Mr.
Rgby or any set OF R'gbys.
