BUSINESS IN ENGLAND.

The contest between the business
boom in this country,and England is
shown from an article quoted in the
Chicago Tribune from the London SPEC
bGl., complaining that the large decrease
i'm the Treasury receipts from customs
and excise indicate that the depression
i'm England still continues and is affect
iug every one except the rich. Its
presentation oi the subject is very
gloomy, and i'm marked contrast with
the buoyancy and chccrtuIness which
characterizc our own industries. IL sees
no hope even in the present squirt in
the iron trade, for, while the Steel-mak-
Ing trade is better. none OF the mining
interests have improycd-lcast Of all,
iron. The cotton and woolcn manu-
lectures are yielding no profit.
The production OF food not only
pays no profit, but is eating
into the capital invested. II says: The
classes connected with that industry are
the greatest single order OF buyers, and
for months, certainly till next harvest,
they will restrict their purchases to the
barest neceSSaricS. We have not only
to reckon up their losses, but the effect
of the panic about those losses upon
landlords, tenants, and country bank
ers' minds. They will buy as little as
possible, they will knock down sellers
as much as possible, and they will post
pone every payment they can 10y any
cuntriyance avoid

Toads in Trees and Stones.
From Chambers Journal.

From Chambers Journal.
A large toad was found few years
ago in an old apple tree at Wonham
Manor; il came TO light when the tree
was blown down. The Memories ofthe
French Academic des Sciences contain
a description OF living toad found in
the heart of an old elm tree. Near Nam
tes, when an old oak was cleft open, a
toad was found in the very heart-wood,
although no crevice or channel OF en-
trance could be detected; there were
about ninety rings in the trunk OF this
oak, leading to the inference, according
10 one theory, that the animal must have
been in his prisOn-hOuse ninety years.
Mr.. JEST, in reference to frog found IN
the trunk of 4 mulberry tree, expressed
belief that the annual rings had been
gradually but surely inclOsed the rep
tiles. Toads in clay have been more
frequently met with than in trees; some
times a whole family have been thus
ferreted out at once. In 1856 toad
was found at considerable depth ct
Benthall, near Broseley, Shropshire. Mr..
Bathurst, earthenware manufacturer at
Benthall. ascertained that the creature
was met with about six feet beneath the
surface, in layer OF tough clay custom
arily used for making coarse brown ware.
Above this layer, in successive strata,
were ferruginous coal OF poor quality,
clay, loan OF clay and gravel, and
meadow turf at the top. The toad was
found filling cavity as wax does a seal.
A minute examination of the superin-
cumbent strata failed to detect any fs-
sure through which the animal could
have entered. The light of day seemed
at first to distress it, but this it soon be-
came accustomed to; the eyes were bril-
liant, the skin moist, the mouth quite
| closed.

NOW THAT THE SMOKE OF BAT
TILE HAS CLEARED AWAY.

Nearly every body has made up his
mind about the Ohio election, and don't
care 10 hear more OF it. If he is Repu5-
lican he has settled down into the con-
viction that it was glorious victory,
and If a Democrat, that it was an in
glorious defeat.
But a truthful history is not written
until the subjects with which it deals
have gone by and can be looked upon as
a whole, when mems passions have
cooled and their prejudices have moth
ing left to feed upon. We have yet no
history OF the rebellion that a man cares
to lay away in his library, although
there have been nearly fifteen years in
which to write it. This generation will
have passed away before the accepted
history of that period is written.
For the same reasons we were not in
a fit mood, when elated with the victory
or depressed with the defeat, which fol-
lowed the announcement OK the result in
Ohio, TO turn it over calmly and look at
it on all sides.
Since the official returns have come to
hand, we find much instruction in the
figures. From an analysis OF the vote
made By the Pittsburgh Pos, We gather
the following: The aggregate vote on
Governor this year is 66S,667 against a
total vote of ESQ., III cast at the Presi-
densial election of 1876. This large vote
is remarkable, and marks how thorough
" the political field was plowed over by
the two parties. Fosters majority over
EWING is Il, l29, and over all 1855. Ew-
ING's vote falls below TrLDENs 1850,
while FosrER's exceeds HAYES 1858.
EwIxG's vote is 1880 larger than
Bishop had in 1877 when ne was elected
by 22,590 majority, and is much the
largest vote the Democrats ever pOlled
in the State with the exception OF their
vote for THDEN in 1876.
Anybody who imagines the Demo
cratic party is on the decline in Ohio
should cast his eyes over these
figures, giving the total Democratic
vote at each election for the last eight

A GROSS INJUSTICE.

4 correspondent of the REGISTER,
writing from West Union, Doddridge
county, took occasion to refer unfavor-
ably to the official conduct Of the Prose-
cutting Attorney of that county, Mr.
GANo. From information received
since the letter was published, We are
lcd to believe that our correspondent
did Mr.. GANo a great injustice, and We
hasten voluntarily to make what repa-
ration is in our power. In letter writ
ten by the official criticised, he says:
For almost three years past l have
been engaged in prosecuting the pleas
of the State in this county. Have had
as will be testified to by the clerks of
our cuurts-large numbers of witnesses
summoned before the grand jury for the
purpose of indicting parties for violating
the law in selling liquors without Ii
cense, and when the grand jury would
not return rreSentments, | would in
Uuirp the why and the wherefore, calling
attention 10 certain witnesses and their
testimony and receive in reply, that
those parties had sworn they never
bought any whisky, although the fact was
and is notorious that those very charac-
ters are drunk fully one-half of their
time.
Mr. Editor, permit me to ayin plain
words, that lmay not be misunderstood,
that | neither encourage the sale Of
whisky by word or deed, that do not
''ioin in the ring dance" nor "smoke
the pipe of peace" with those who do,
nor with those who sell, and the man
who so reports OF me is wilful, malicious
slanderer.
81 have opposed the sale of whisky in
this county ever since | became citi-
zen oft, and expect to so long as re-
main
We also pint in another column a
letter from agentleman of reliability and
honor upon the same subject. He ex-
oncratcs Mr.. GANo and reflects severely
upon the correspondent who apparent
" let his prejudice influence him to
write something he should not have
written.
