An Influential Voice from uFeE ."e
River.
MoRRlsrowN, o., Jan. 18th.
EdI.op IntelltEeneer.
Asst has become so common for persons
in various sections OF the country TO ex-
press their views, wishes and opinions
upon the choice OF q candidate for Presl-
dent at the coming Chicago convention, |
thought that our town and vicinity should
let their choice be known. Therefore,
please allow me u short space for this pur'
pose.
While we have the highest admiration
for General Grant, and accord to nm
superlative honors as q military chieitean
we are opposed to placing him In nomina'
ton for q third term. General Grant mas
proven to the world his great military
ability, and we are, out here, Just rs ready
10 acknowledge it and do him honor as
any other people. But we are not willing
to sacrifice the interests OF the party u
crafty Grant or those who seek TO iofce
him on the convention. 1t does not iol
low that a great military man must neeo
be a great statesman. History is repiete
with illustrations OF the truth, that ability
10 perform any required use in o success
full way il, or ut least should be, the true
ground and reason for placing that use In
the hands OF the man TO whom 1t Is en-
trusted. 1t seems TO Us that We as a ma
lion" have too much interest at stake tt
ignore this historical fact.
Were we called to choose a military
leader, we would certainly say grant Vi
Grant, but were We going to select q can
didate for the presidency, We would choose
a score before we would come to him
Washburne, Sherman or Blaine woult
unite all the Republican forces out here
but Grant could not carry many Of tn
strong Republican counties, and certainly
not the State. The Camer0ns do not owl
the Republican party in Ohio.
As for %oursell, l would prefer Grant t
any opposition candidate, but scores o
good Republicans are determined to e
the election 60 by default rather than volt
for the pet OF u certain clique. 1hope tn
convention may act wisely, and not dis
regard the wishes Of teus OF thousands o
the best Republicans in the land, ant
thereby not disorganize the party as wa
the case at the close OF Grants secon'
Term. OBSERVER.

The Food OF the Danes.

london Society. 80,
The Danes mostly make q substantial
breakfast about 10 A. NJ, and dine at 8 in
the afternoon, the cravings of hungerbe-
ing subsequently, allayed with schnappS'
beer and slices OF brown bread and butter,
covered with a piece Of smoked salmon or
some similar delicacy. Every true Dane
delights TO begin the day with q basin Of
"ol6rodsuppe," composed Of black bee,
and cream, with slices Of brown bread
floating therein. 1t Is said 10 be very,
nutritious. The strangest compound OIL
which II ever became u lot to partake
was called "Rumpsuppe," and was COM
posed Of milk, rum and. preserved cher
ries, made hot and whipped into a iroth.
At q dinner commencing with such a
dish, it may be supposed that 1t VS.
difficult mattert to choose what TO drink,
and the after consequences may be I'm;
ayined, but need not be described. Several
Danish dishes look more peculiar on the
menu than they do upon tho table; tor
instance: "Forloren Skilkpaddle" (mock
turtle), "RGget Gasebryst Smoked goose,
breastj, etc. The proverbial honesty oil
the Danes shows Itself on the tariffs In
the restaurants, where "Latitte" figures Al
5 francs per bottle, "Real LATTE" ID
francs, and so on.

House RuiIding In New York.

New York Sun.
The very decided increase in building
in the city, TO which we called attention
last spring was maintained throughout the
year just closed. Though a number OF
structures of which plans were filed with
the Superintendent OF Buildings was
about 100 less than in 1S7l,-a year Of ex-
ceptional activity in this direction ii far
exceeded the total OF any year from that
time until 1870. The number Of buildings
proposed to be put up last year was zoos,
OF an estimated cost Of S22, 5G7 ,Sl2, against
1872 in 1873, OF an estimated cost OF Sl5,-
i $3.50.
It is noticeable that among the plans
fled the largest number, 1G4, were Tor
what are denominated iirst.class houses,
while OF French flats or apartment
houses the total was 253, a number fully
equal to that Of the second-class houses.
The rapidity with which New York is
filling up with these apartment houses
proves how great is the demand for them,
and it ought to result in a marked rcduc-
ton in the rents OF the flats, which are
now disprcportionately large. Such
buildings are among the most remunera-
tive a landlord can own. Even at lower
rates than now prevail, they would be
more profitable than the average Of houses
for single families. Yet good and light
apartments, Notwithstanding the great in.
crease in the number Of French Hats, can
not even now be obtained at prices which
suit the purses OF families OF small means.
The prospects ola renewed and increased
activity in building in the spring arc very
encouraging.
The architects report that there will be
an unusual number OF important and ex-
tensiye alterations in business buildings
down town next spring. These additions
will generally consist OF further stories,
aud such alterations will render necessary
the putting.in Of elevators, which now
have become requisite in lofty buildings
used for offices. The improvement in
business is creating a demand for offices at
lair rents, and landlords find 1t to their
profit to modify their buildings to attract
tenants, who now are i%ndisposedto climb
many stairs.

IN, sbeep poom In west virginia.

Hon. Ruben DAVIDSON brought into tins
county last week over three hundred heau
of fine wool sheep, which he had pur'
chased in Pennsylvania and let 10 the
farmers on the Share plan. Harbour
County FiaiRdca!cr.
The above is one OF several such items
appearing lately in our interior West Vir'
pinia exchanges. They show that the in-
terest in wool growing in this State is TAX.
ing deciIed hold upon tho farmers, and
that in the course Of tho next year or two
the amount Of sheep and wool grown in
West Virginia will be heavily increased.
For the first time apparently in the his
o Of the State the idea is abroad among
farmers that our soil and climate are just
as well adapted to sheep culture as that oil
Pennsylvania, orof the Panhandle here, or
the Ohio side Of the river. In q billy
country like West Virginia, where grain
growing is expensive, and where the soil
becomes rapidly washed and impoverished
by culture, an industry that will combine,
us sheep culture does, to make the hill
land available, and ut the same time keep it
enriched, must commend itself to all intel;
liyent agriculturists. The experience OF the
farmers in this part Of the State, and OF
our Pennsylvania and Ohio %neighbors. is
that, taken one year with another, no
mode Of farming pays as well as sheep cul-
ture. 1t saves not only the land land en-
riches it), but it saves also a great deal OF
the hard and rough work attendant on
active cultivation OF the soil, in the way
Of plowing, sowing and harvesting. Not
that we mean that plowing and sowing
should be given up on farms, for that
is not the practice in this region, but
simply that it should be made subordin'
ate and tributary to the grazing Of sheep.
West Virginia is able 10 raise her own
breadstuiTs, and the doing SO will only in
volve n judicious alienation of the soil
where sheep culture is the main object in
view.
The fact that land is cheap in West Vir-
ginia, and taxes very moderate, should
give the sheep business prominence on
our soil as compared with the higher
priced lands OF this immediate locality. II
we could turn the agriculture OF the State
mainly into wool growing, mutton breed
ing and the dairy business, VIC should add
largely to the exportable prOdnct OF the
State, and to the value Of the soil, and
make money easier than it is generally
made by the farming in vogue at this
time.

The immensely of the Present Wheat
Speculation.

bieGNItttibus
We have by telegraph this morning the
comments Of the Mark Lane Express on
the status OF tho wheat market in England,
by which it appears that buyers on that
side are h~esitating about going in and
solving the problem connected with the
great wheat speculation now in progress
in this country. Bad rs have been the
English land whole European) harvests,
and bad as tho weather has been for get
ting in their crops for another year, yet it
would seem that they cannot, as yet, work
themselves up to the views entertained Of
their ultimate necessities by the great
syndicate speculation on thisside ofthe At.
Iantic. 1t is not improbable, however, that
the European buyers will have to yield their
conservative views, and raise the present
unprecedented grain blockade in this
country. AS showing the extent and
character OF this immense blockade, We
append the following New York dispatch
in regard to it:
NRw YoRE, January l9.-The great cor.
ner in grain was the II topic to-day in
the Produce Exchange. All sorts OF ru.
mors were flying around Of organized at.
tempts to make n raid upon the Syndicate
and break the corner. 1t was said that
they had purchased every bushel Of grain
In Chicago, and that warehouses and ele-
Vators were running over. In this city the
store.hOuses and elevators are full to over
flowing, and there is not An empty canal.
boat. Some weeks back the Syndicate had
quietly engaged every canal'boat that was
empty, or likely to become empty, at the
rate of$6 per day, to receive grain on stor.
age. In addition, they are saving storage
on over G,0OO,OO0 bushels OF wheat In
store.houseS at the rate Of one.hnlf rent u
bnshel per week. They have altogether
nearly 10, 100000 bushels OF grain in this
city and in Chicago, and on the railroads
about l7,0O0,00O bushels
A large operator in grain saidto.day that
a prominent railroad man had assured
him that the Company which he repre-.
sented intended to build an extra building
for the storage OF grain in Chicago, and that
unless the deadlock in tho market was
broken this week they would u%ndoubted.

constructing tho new grain depot. He
also stated that his railroad would use its
rolling.stock to its fullest capacity to bring
grain from the West TO New York; and Il
The Syndicate maintained the present high
price OF grain, they would have to pur.
chase three million bushels OF grain per
week for several weeks, and then have no
place TO store 1t,
''There is no market for grain" said the
broker; mo orders from Europe, andnone
will come at theprescnt prices for some
weeks. By that time the stock ofgraiu on

nearly exhausted, and then the Syndicate
expect orders IN such numbers aud OF such
magnitude that It will take all the grain
they have here or that can reach tide

according to Government statistics, WAS
four hundred million bushels, and
the country could well spare 4~OO,OOO,OOO '
