CORRESPONDENCE.

SOmethi@g About the New Haven Ruf-
 file Company.
 ON THE CARS, March 4. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Since began writing you letters, which is now some years ago, people both in our city and away have desired me frequently to write business of ruffie making, for somehow the idea has gone out that we are making an i'm mediate fortune. So if you will kindly allow me few statements I will gratify your numer- ous readers, and at the same time tell them some points that may be of interest, because of the fact that New Haven occupies more of a position, as manufacturing center, than is generally known. People who live within its delightful limits (for 1t has DO equal on the face of the globe for residence" city) lit- tie dream of it's being anything else but a beautiful place in which to have home, when the fact is it contains the largest manufacto. rles in the known world of rubber goods, corsets, and also many kinds of articles made up from the baser metals into small and use- ful things for household furnishing, &c. Now it is also becoming famous for the making of neck rufding for ladies' wear, and in short is the modern home for the producing of that article Our own business is but an offshoot
 
 which held for years national reputation, and our success has been due to 8 combina- tlon of such circumstances as follows For many years your correspondent, thro ugh oyerwork, was so affected by a nervous pros tration that he was forced to resign position in one of the largest New York houses then paying salary of nearly five thousand dollars per year, and do some kind of lighter work, and fell in with this business in way that you have already made your readers familiar with. As soon as the merits of the machinery we now so thoroughly con- trol the work of making ruffling with was made known, a stock company was formed, and having the experience of several men, each of whom had spent greater part of lifetime in his own department of this business, any one could guess the result. Probably the man at the head of our machinery has few superiors and with his own inventions, which we exclusively control, we can produce more goods with less hand labor than any other factory. Again, while I do not pro- fess to be 8 smart correspondent for newspaper, I do think I can sell goods, and with the skilled assistance which the ladies in our employ give us Git being such help as we could not get anywhere so well as in New England) we make goods for such houses as R. Fl. Macy & Go. Acknowledged to be the largest retail house in this country) in quantity that no one except those acquainted with the facts would believe to be true. This, added to the fact (and we cannot, with all our advantages, compete with too frequent dishonesty in imported goods) that we charge only moderate manufacturers profit and are satisfied to- increase our business in these improving times upon that basis, is giving yet another name to the industries of our city, which we hope to make worthy of the good name it now has in other branches of making goods, with skilled labor, improved machinery and 'fYankee invention"

When the sweet refrain dies away in the crowded concert room, and hearts are hushed with soft emotion, then too frequently com mences 8 lugubrious racket of unmusical sounds caused by imprudence in sitting in a draft. One after another coughs and hawks until the ear is pained. The use of Roberts Syrup of Tar, Boneset and Wild Cherry pre- vents the aggravation from cold, by healing the air passages and relieving the tickling and scratching of the throat. It is to be had at the drug stores. Sample bottle ten cents, large size fifty cents.
