BOSTON, Feb. 3.-The announcement
of the failure of r. G.. & S. c. Sayles,
Dayville, and S. l.. & 4. 4. Sayles, of
Versailles, Connecticut, created sens
alton among the wool merchants of
this city. These concerns, in reality
one, have been in existence twenty
five years, and were the largest manu-
facturers of wooden goods in the coun-
try. The mills at Mechanicsville were
the finest in the State, and run fifteen
or sixteen set of machinery. The mills
at Dayville contained ten or twelve set
of machinery, and those at Versailles
fifteen set, making an average of about
forty set of machinery, which were
employed exclusively in the manufac-
ture of cashmere. The product of the
three mills amounted to one and half
or two millions of dollars in value per
annum, and these goods were consign-
ed to the house of Low, Hartman &
Co., New York. The capital invested
in the mill property is estimated at
between $3.50, 900 and 81 1000. 900. the
entire village of Mechanicsville being
owned by the firm of III, G.. & S. L.
Sayles. The failure falls heavily upon
the wool merchants of this city, who
were creditors of the two firms to the
extent of $3.50, 900 or $4OO,OOO. The
suspended firm were the largest pur-
chasers of wool who came into this
market, and scarcely a single house
has escaped the blow. It is estimated
that three-fourths of the loss by this
failure will fall upon Boston merchants,
although it is impossible to state the
extent of the liabilities. The failure
is attributed to depreciation in the val
ue of woolen goods. and the inability
of the concerns to obtain assistance
from local banking houses, upon which
they had formerly relied.
The failures since the beginning of
this year don't seem to have diminish
ed materially in number or amount.
But then resumption is secured. and
what difference does it make how
much business men may suffer or how
much the people may be compelled to
sacrifice that the bondholders and
money lenders may be enabled to de-
mand glittering gold for their claims
which were created, as they tell US, in
q "depreciated and worthless curren-
cy."
CAPTAIN HENRY BOIL, q leading
merchant tailor of Warren, has made
an assignment to John Koehler, oil
that city, for the benefit of his credi-
tors. The Captain Is a genial gentle.
man and has many friends here who
will sympathize with him in his mis-.
fortunes.

And the smile Is scarcely fitted ere tho an

Fol without the droary winter there has new

And the tcmpests hide their tcrrors I'm the

So this dreary life IS passing-and we move
amid its maze,
And we grope along together. half In dark

And orr hearts are often hardened by the
mysteries of our WAYS,
Which are never all I'm shadow and never
wholly bright.
And our dim eyes ask q beacon, and our
weary feet "A guide,
And our hearts of all lifc's mysteries, seek
the meaning and the key;
And "A crOss CLEANS DER our pail way. on IA

And he answers all our yearnings by the
