A complete list of articles made of
paper would be a very curious one,
and almost every day it becomes
more o Among other things exhib-
tied last year at the Berlin Exhibition
were paper buckets, "bronzes,," hrns,
asphalt roofing, water-cans, carpets,
shirts, whole suits of clothes, jewel
ry, materials for garden walks, win
dow curtains, lanterns and pocket
handkefthiefs. The most striking of
the many objects exhibited in this
material was perhaps a fre-stove with
d cheerful fire burning in it. We
have from time to time noted the an
nouncements of newly invented fail
way carriages and carriage wheels,
chimney pots, four=barfels, cottage
walls, roofing tiles, bricks, and dies
for stamping, all made of paper. A
material capable of so many uses, so
very diversified in character, Is OBJ
yiously destined to play a very i'm
portant part in our manufacturing flu
ture. Articles of this kind, which
have just now perhaps the. greatest
interest, and which are among the
latest novelties in this way, are paper
/" blankets"

We we're pleased To receive visit,
last Tuesday, from State senator
Melvin, of this county. In converse
ton he informed us that among other
amendments made to the road law by
the Legislature was one striking out
the clause exempting persons over
fifty years of age from the payment
of the head tax for road purposes.
By this amendment, it is calculated,
the fund for road purposes in this
county alone will be increased some
six or eight hundred dollars. The
law prohibiting certain stock from
running at large, Senator Melvin also
informs us, not only goes into sBect
in a county upon an affirmative vote
of a majority of the people of a
county, but may be voted upon and
put into effect in any district of a
county, by a vote of the people of
such district.
