very satisfactory to that young lady. Her

advantage in the reading of the selection

manners on the stage were very pretty, and

Considerable excitement exists in Sanford
over the pending tariff bill In case the bill
becomes law the discrimination is said to be
SO destructive to the interests of some classes
OF eastern. manufacturers that they will be
obliged to suspend operations. The Goodall
Manufacturing Company of Sanford is one Of
these. They manufacture q fine goods of
wooden blankets, and the effect will be to
entirely overcome their profit, and render them
unable to compete with more favored sections.
They have therefore concluded to shut down if
the bill goes through, and the citizens are at a
loss to know what can replace the enterprise.
