AnntGrrTEII nuTLnoIK.

The following interesting article on the
brighter prospects for the spring trode,we clip |
from the Philadelphia Duly Record of last
With the advent Of March and
its clustering winds comes the opening ofthe
spring trade. The hotel registers show an
increase Of at least one-third oyer last year
in the number Of buyers arriving The
railroads, which maybe not inaptly termed
the "weathcr gauges7 Of trade, also report
an enormous increase especially in east
bound tonnage. The amount Of freight Of
lered to the Pennsylvania Railroad is 80 great
that they have not enough rolling stock TO
transport it. More flour, grain and meats
are passing over the road than ever before,
and according to the reports from different
places a great increase in freights will take
place during the present month. On the
Reading railroad the freight shipments for
February were largely in excess Of those Of
the same month in 1879. This applies
largely 10 the shipments of merchandise to
interior towns in theState.
Railroad men say the trade prospect for
the next three month is brighter than for
any time since the war.
Iron is booming along The demand Is
for more than can be supplied, and manu-
facturers are refusing orders for delivery
three months hence at present quotations
Old stocks of pig iron Are rapidly clearing
out, and new furnaces are daily lighted CON
sequently there are advancing prices, and &
healthier tone to coal and relative interests.
Coal men say that the market is empty
from Maine to Georgia. That last year on
ly 100000 tons were consumed, and tina
the demand for this year will be 23,OO0,OOO
which is as much as can be transported. o
course, then, they look for profitable year
Wholesale dry goods men foot up tn,
totals of the past two months as far ahead o
the same period in 1873. They say price
have been maintained by the frmness o
the cotton market, while in some classes o
= goods there has been slight advance. City
! trade is better than for many years.
One class of trade alone is dubious as t
t the spring outlook. The wholesale grocer
say that the immense number of unemploy
| ed has restricted the business of the retail
} shops, ana the result is that the retailers ar
, only buying what they pay for and sell
Trade with the West, however, is good.
, Retail dry goods men are jubilant. AS
rule, February is next to the dullest mont
in the year, but last months sales equalle,
the April trade. Then, too, goods of bette
: quality are bought. One retail house say
it doubled its sales upon February of 1873.
: So that, with an increase in buyers, witt
, railroads offered more freights than the.
can handle, iron advancing in price and las
months sales showing heavy increases, ther
is good evidence that the tide has turned.

Every lover of the horse should read
the following notice from the Western Sports
man and livestock Ne,0S:
"a Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases, )"
by DR.. B. j. Kendall Of Enosburgh Falls,
VT, is a book that every owner of horse
should have. and no breeder of horses can
afford to do without. 1t has thrty-fve en-
cravings illustrating positions assumed by
sick horses, and gives treatment of diseases
in such plain and comprehensive language
as To be readily understood by any one OF
ordinary intelligence. The price is only 25
cents, but we would not exchange it for any
book on the horse and his diseases that we
have ever seen, and we have read some books
Of the kind that cost $40. 1t contains large
number frecipes, any one of which is worth
double the price Of the work. The book
may be had of the author as above.

And have a family of children running
about the house making time pass pleasant
ly both to parents and children, and should
discover at any time that one of those bright
eyed, rosy checked children are troubled
with Cough, Cold, lIoarseness, Difficult
Breathing, or any Affection of the Throat,
Bronchial Tubes and Lungs, leading to Con.
sumption our advice is. go Immediately to
some druggist and get bottle of "HALE's
HONEY OF HoREHoUND AND TAR" an arti-
Gle which, we understand, was used for
years in the private practice of DR.. HALE, a
celebrated physician of Europe, to the en-
tire satisfaction of his patients. The article,
we understand, is now manufactured accor-
ding to the original recipe, by C. N. CRIT
TENToS, Of No. Z Sixth Avenue, New York,
who is now the sole owner and proprietor,
he having paid a very large amount oil
money for the right of same, and from what
we hear he is selling very large quantities.
In fact, he has had to enlarge his laboratory
and increase his help to supply the constant
| ly increasing demand, which is good evi-
dence Of how the article is appreciated. Ev-
| cry mother is well aware of the medicinal
| qualities Of HONEY and HoREHoUND in sooth-
| ing and scattering all irritations and inham7
| atiOns, and that the TAR BALM clednSes ana
heals the throat and air passages leading To
the lungs. Fire additional ingredients in
this article keep the organs cool, moist and

the popular feeling in that State, nearly all
condemn the Presidents veto Of the Anti
Chinese bill. The journals published in the
interior are more decided in their censure
Of the President than those of San Francisco,
some of them "pretty well exhausting the
language of denunciation." Meetings have
been held in various parts of the State to ex-
press the general indignation, and, in some
places, flags have been half. masted and the
President burned in efIigy. The feeling in the

minors, for a balance of about 81, alleged to
be due on the purchase Of a brass horn,
which the plaintiff sets forth that he pur-
chased for, and sold to the band about two
years ago. Such a crowd of boys and Others
gathered in and around the Squire's Office

he postponed the case until Monday even
