THE little village of Shanghai, on
the other side of the mountain, is
showing considerable business activ
ity. An organization, to be known
as the Shanghai Manufacturing
Company" has been formed, and
has gone actively to work erecting
buildings, putting in machinery, &c. +,
for making barrel slaves, grinding
bark and sumac and saving lumber.
The company will be ready for work
early next week, and will employ
from twenty to thirty hands. One
or more citizens of this place are
members of the company. We wish
the enterprise success.

mother of Hon. John Blair Hoge,
our present representative in Con
gress, departed this life at her resi-.
dence, in this city, on the 2lst inst,
at the ripe old age of 84 years. She
was an exemplary christian lady, and
died as she had lived, in the full hope
of a blissful Immortality. She was
kind, charitable and hospitable, and
general favorite with young and
old. Truly can it be said of her,
''None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
Funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian church, conducted by
Rev. f. M. Woods, and attended by
a large congregation of relatives and
friends. The funeral sermon was an

a beautiful and fitting tribute to the
worth and memory of the deceased.
The remains were inferred in the

their last resting place by a large
procession of sorrowing friends and
relatives.

HOW TO RAISE CORN.

The way is simple and easy. Use
Pacific Dissolved Bone Phosphate,
which is the cheapest and best corn

Give the Pacific a trial on your
