this is to be understood as q final and
complete dissolution OF partnership, it

Wool sales since January have been
{, 794,2OO pounds, against 7,062, 600
pounds in the same time Il year ago.
The falling of has been nearly onc-half.
The promise OF free wool and lower
wooden duties has accomplished this
striking decline in the home market for
n great American industry. and there is
no other market to turn to. This is

patriotism.
BY the election OF Mr.. Charles W.
Frauzheim, of this city, to its first vice
presidency the United States Potters'
Association has recognized the clear
headed ability of one Of the younger and
most capable men in the trade. There
would have been no mistake if Mr..

Forty-niners about in these days?
The faculty OF Jefferson Medical Col

favor of a four years. course. This
places the standard none too high and
is in line With the tendency OF the time.
WE take the liberty to discredit a
dispatch in the Cleveland Leader which
tells that the flag is NO more to float
