THE Pittsburgh Manufacturer OF last
week makes the following report on the
nail trade:
The nail trade is still all upside do Sn,
and but few are being made here. Nails
made outside of the city are being sold
at Sl.92 a key. As there are 100 pounds
in a keg-or ought to be-this is at the
rate of % cents pound, or only very
small fraction of cent more than bar
iron sells for. How manufactures can
come out whole at such rates is one OF
those things which mo fellah can find
out" The card rate for nails as estab-
lished by the Association is as follows:
lOd. to God, S2.l5, 90 days, > per cent.
Otffor cash, with an abatement Ofl0 cents
per keg in lots OF 200 kegs and over at
one shipment, How many manufac-
turers west OF the Alleghenies live up TO
the card is impossible for US to say.
Manufacturers here say they DO not sell
for less than 500 cash in large lots, and
the fact that so few of their machines
are in operation seems to back up their
assertion.

TIE Bellaire and Southwestern rail-
rpad may be said to have nj last tri-
umphcd over an opposition, to have
overcome every obstacle, amt 70 nave
set at nousht the false prophets. On
Saturday the first train arrived at Arm
strong's Mills, which, though not the
final terminus of the road, has long been
the virtual objective point. This event
marks an era i'm the history OF Bellaire.
The road makes a tributary to her of an
entire county, one of the richest
and most fertile i'm the State,
and divcrts from other points
the trade of almost one-iourth of Bel
mont county. IL can but prove to be
EcIlairc'S most important feeder. IL
pours into her Golfers the wealth Of %
hitherto inaccessible region, and it calls
upon her in return for the development
of that region The roal has already
achieved phenomenal success, paying its
expenses first when but five miles were
iu running order, and afterwards when
but seventeen miles were completed
The operation of trains as iar as Arm
str1u.'s will assure the Immediate COM
plctiou Of tine other part Of the road,
which is already i'm condition to receive
the ties and rails.

PROVERBS OF OUR sOLEN

PROVERBS OF OUR SOLEMN UN.
If it be true that industry is death
to genius" the funny man of the Steu-
benville Gazette must work awful hard.
How consoling is the thought that
like ocean fog we shall be mist when we
are gone.-Ncr York Ners. Yes! but
air long we will be fogotten. That is
what clouds our brow.
MANY of our exchanges object to the
Introduction put upon the importation
Of American swine by several European
countries. The editors doubtless con-
template going abroad this summer.
The name of the late editreSs of
Godcy's Lady's Book as,IIale. The new
editress is Miss Frost. We could make
an ice pun upon this subject, but the
sex OF the parties named Shields them
from such insult.
The Boston Transcript thinks that ii
Secretary Sherman "onCe gets on the
Presidential race-track, backed by the
Republican party, he will stand the best
of chances to come in ahead" Yes;
head behind, as it were
\ CERTAIN poet I'VE omit his name
ont Of respect for the family propounds
the conundrum,
Have not the waves a spirit ?''
The only waif with whom we are per-
sonally acquainted has SO many spirits
that she spends the larger part of her
forenoons in getting fined.
Now rhubarb come,h tendcrly

And every little boy is known
In May-dme for his pIe-c .ty.
IT was prophesied some time ago that
the lion and the lamb should lie down
together; but it was reserved for a west

a hon. 1t says that Lamb is always a
lvin'." The slandered man will proba-
bly, lam the editor, and so fulfill the
scripture propheSy.

TIE splendid rain which fell in this
vicinity Thursday and Thursday night,
frightened up grain, grass and vegeta-
ton in general, and the warm weather
which succeeded the rain has set every
thing growing at rapid rate. While
vegetation in general is not in so adj
vanced state as it was at this date last
year, it is as thrifty and bids fair to do
as well. Wheat will be shorter in the
straw, but it may head as well. The
meadows will be less productive, but
with seasonable weather for the next
four weeks there will be hay enough
and to spare. Old hay is still abundant
throughout the country.
A hasty trip through the counties OF
Jefferson, Tuscarawas, Coshocton, Lick
ing and Franklin, on Friday and Satur-
day, revealed to us the fact that the
farmers hereabOuts have better crop
prospects than many of their Ohio
neighbors. A portion OF the country
passed was formerly celebrated for its
heavy wheat crops, but on this trip We
saw but little good wheat. Many fields
had Jared badly from winter freezing,
and those which had escaped this mis-
fortune had suffered from the drought
both last fall and this spring.
