A Remarkable business Year.

NEW York, December 81 The Evening
ErpreSS, in It's annual review If the PCS
wears business Of the country, says
Viewed from business Standpoint, The
wear has heen remarkable ore; probably
the most remarkable IN the history OF The
country. There hes been Il great reylval IN
trade. and the volume OF legitimate business
during the year was beyond all precedent.
This improved condition Of affairs was the
natural result OF large crops. good export
demand for our products, the growth
OF country, the heavy influx OF gold from
Europe. and the complete restoration or
confidence growing out OF the success OF
specie-payment. One Of the most crafty
ing features OF 1880 has been the great fall
ing of IN The number OF failures and the
amount Of liabilities of suspended mer-
chants. TIE growth OF the country and large
additions 10 the national wealth. during 1850
are strlklDgly illustrated in the products
OF the soil, OF which we raised 475.000,000
bushels Of wheat 15j,000.000 bushels OF
corn. 4l3, 900, 900 bushels OF oats, "a, 100000
bushels Of rye. 40, 000, 900 bushels OF barley.
and 5000. 900 bales OF cotton 10 say nothing
OF tobacco. sugar, rice. hemp, bav, aud other
crops, and hogs aud dairy products, which
Weld an immense sum OF money in the ag-
gregate. In plain words, the United States
now raises enough TO feed her own 100000
600 Of people aud 10 supply the deficiency
Of balance the civilized world. During
the year more njilCs Of railroads have
| been built, more consultations and
combinations have been entered into, and
more freight aud passengers have been
transported more money earned, and more
interest and dividends paid, Than IN any
former year. The commerce Of the country
during The year has made rapid progress,
and caused the United States 10 take sill
higher rank, being now thetbird among The
commercial nations of the globe.

 ED. NRws:-I wish to make a correction of the article in your last issue headed "An American Scotland" The writer, in illustrat. ing the patriotism of the inhabitants of Sails bury, speaks of the leaden statue of George the Sd as having been brought to that town, and by them made into bullets for the use of the Army; whereas it was to Lstchtaeld the statue was secretly smuggled. As I write look out upon the old orchard under whose trees it was hacked up, and onto the Wolcott mansion, Greeted in l750) in whose ample fireplace it was melted and made into bullets by members of the Wolcott family and their friends. Again the author of the article al luded to locates the old law school of Judge Reeve, which was the first, and for some years the 0asiy law school in the United States, at Salisbury, while supposed any Connecticut schoolboy knew that Litchfield was its real location. The oll building in which it was held has, until a comparatively recent date stood within stone's throw of my window, and is now removed to the suburbs of the vii iage for tenement house.
 While I take too much pride in the fail fame of good old Salisbury to rob her of any rightful ho1ors, yet the memory and traditions of our own ''palmy days" are too highly treasured to relinqulsh any that, of right be- long to us,
 Or to allow our sister town
 To wear our jewels in her crown.

across the fields, through which we could drive, although the cobble stones were nu. merous. We crossed in safety, and came up in the rear of an elegant farm house, tired and hungry, but the latter feeling was soon relieved by the Cook, who took in our situa- tion at once, and proceeded to spread a boun. tiful rspast, which all can vouch for her abili- ty to prepare, that have had occasion to eat at her table. There where we have passed 30 many happy hours together, we fingered awhile to renew the scene, situated as we are, on the banks of the beautiful Konkapot, which reminds us that our future life must be like it's waters; at times with overfowing, bright and sparkling, then again low and dark. Having rested for awhile, we started for our home, distance of two miles. The road beng familiar, the time seemed short be.
 fore we arrived at the home of my father, and were receiving congratulations under my own parental roof. IS.
