All's at an End,

The breach is made-false friend, adieu; Alrs at an end between us two. Let others come, with power and praise, To blot your image from my days; That shining past, its colors fade I'll have no more-the breach is made. All's at an end!

The attention of American free-traders who
are never weary of telling us that the policy Of
protection is responsible for combinations,
trusts. etc, ia called to the following paragraph
from the last issue of the London Iron and Steel
Trades Journal:
1.-The practice of combination to maintain
prices in certain branches of the English iron
trade is extending. In the Birmin CHAM district
the makers of carriage, cart and wagon sxles
recently united for the purpose Of establishing
an advance of 20 per cent, and so far the al
lance has succeeded in upholding the higher
rates. We cow learn that the manufacturers Of
sheet iron in the same district have joined to-
gether to prevent free composition. More than
twenty firms have shared in the effort, and the
four or five which declined to combine are aiding
the ring by keeping their quotations at the
same point as those fixed by the combination.
The latter have agreed TO revise the rates every
three months, subject to any alteration in the
intervals which may be agreed upon, the mem
bers of the union ~pledgine themselves to abide
by the decision OF the majority. No penalties
are exacted for breach of the engagement, but
the manufacturers have for some time past suf-
fered SO severely from keen competition that
there is every prospect of the union being main
tanned for a time"

Running Down Ca,,ie-rhieves.

The farmers in the northern part Of the coun-
ty have been annoyed OF late by a band of CATTLE
thieves, whose depredations have been commit
ted as far down as Washington township. Their
operations have been carried on entirely in the
night. and as yet no clew has been discovered az
to their Whereabouts. The Wabash Detective
Association has been active in its eadeavors to
trace the cases that have lately occurred In that
vicinity, and have at last succeeded in making q
capture. Less than a week ago five head u
cattle were taken from the stable of Ezra Ham
ilton, living in Lawrence. and q quiet but
effective search was made. Yesterday two Of
the cows were found in the possession of one
