The largest number Of live cattle ever

near 600 head As possible. The greatest
number taken over up to this time was

the freight charges were nearly $4,000.

ton Of live cattle Is on the increase.
The total exports Of the former since the

American Carpets.

/ Oar production Of carpets is larger
than that Of any other country in the
world. In 1875 the value Of the product

tons of carpeting amounted to nearly
5000, 900; in 1877 they were only 1884,
Oil. In their report as to the character
Of American carpets, the Centennial
Judges said: "The proofs a: the Erhibi.
zion Of our attainmepts in this manufae-
ture were observed with no little surprise.
It was manifest, from the absence OF rival
foreign exhibitions, that in respect to the
carpets Of the cheaper and medium quail.
ties, up to the two and three.ply ingrains,
the competition is confined to our own
manufacturers. Even rival English manu-
Lecturers generally admitted that in the
production Of jacquard Brussels, tapes
tries and Wiltons, and narrow Amin
sters, We have nothing TO learn from them
either in design or fabrication.
It Il worth remarking in this connec-
ton that when American inventors IN.
dertook the taSk Of devising carpet-weav-
Jog machinery, the work Was all done nu
hand looms BY men. Now women and
boys do all the manual labor. In 1874 4
man with q helper could weave not more
than seven yards Of Brussels carpet in 3
day. Now q girl will weave fifty yards
in that time.-Seieah6s American.

State but met with such rebuff as to
unbalAnce his mind and ever since then
he has been considered by his nearest
friends unfortunately 3 ft, but not dan.
gerous subject for 4 lunatic asylum.
This we plead in his behalf that the many
readers Of your excellent paper may not
condemn him too harshly for hisbitter and
malignant attack upon the honor and in
tegrity Of Grafton and her citizens. The
present indebtedness OF Grafton consists
Of one bond for Sl5, 900, held by Elizabeth
Ralba, not widowed lady, but the wife
Of George Ralba, Of Chicago. Her an
nual income il ten times more in
amount than all Harmon's wealth,
although she has never had the opportu-
nifty Of cutting the public treasury.
Mrs. Ralba has never complained Of
mis,reatment by Grafton, and why Har-
mon sinsel, man who claims to be the
daddy Of the State Of West Virginia
should father suchuntruths with regard to
the finances Of Grafton can be explained
on no other theory than the mental
weakness heretofore limited.
In spite Of the written and sealed
agreement Of some Of the most responsi-
Bile citizens OF the county we'll known
throughout the State, Harmon persists
in declaring that it will cost the county
$4,000 instead Of 5000 to build a
Court House II this point, He is lead
into this error from the fact that he takes
a his basis OF calculation s., 900 school
house that he charged 5000 for build.
ing and $1,000 jail that he charged the
county 5000 for building.
There now exists ieud about this
same "jail store" between Armstrong and
Sinsel which came very near eliminating
in the loss to the county ola good clerk, in
the loss TO Harrison Of good son, and
has cost the county in the past two years
more than all the Whisky busi .ess from
the town Of Grafton.
