FURNITURE FAcTonY.-We suggest
10 the owners Of the Barrel Factory,

not be better suited if they had been

ture business lisa very extensive and
profitable one at Cincinnati and 9TH
or places on the Ohio river, almost
all Of which places draw their sup
plies Of wood from the Kanawha
Valley and other sections of West
Virginia, and in return send back
to our State all the furniture we use,
minus the profits. Now there is no
reason in the world why West Vir.
ginia should not use up some Of her
own timber, supply herself with fur
niture, and retain within her own
limits a great deal of profit.
SMALI-Pox.-Small-pox of a very

the town authorities and health off.
Ger ought TO see to it, that all are
Naccinnated. If there are any par.
