NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
PLANS of Women for the Spring Dress

New York. Jan. Cat this TIME
Of the year women, who do their own
drcssmakinE. or at least. that part
which comes under the heading of wash
dresses are making their plans for the
spring of 1876. The buyer Of one of our
largest NV York retail houses. which
makes special feature of wash goods
gave me a number of advance notes that
may be helpful to our readers.
The new Cottons are already on the
shelves awaiting the inspection of the
wise ones, who, in making their choice
now, have the pick of the most extern
sive and beautiful assortment Of goods
So fine have become the processes used
In the manufacture of cottons that to-
day they are almost as beautiful as
silks; indeed, many of these goods are
mixture of silk and cotton. Imitation
is not a good word to use, substitute is
better term.
The most extensive preparations have
been made for ~ great cotton season.

BEAVERS NEAR OTTAWA.
Little Animals Build Dam Not Far
from CnpltOl Of Cnnadn.

4 colony Of beavers has arrived in
Ottawa. or rather. as near it as they can
conveniently ind II suitable home. and
evidently the little animals intend to stay
for the winter for they have build a dam,
constructed houses and have begun to
lay in supplies.
Without making any inquiries ms TO
rent, they established themselves at a
spot on Green's Creek, near Mr. William
Christie farm. and about three or four
ImileS east of Cummings bridge. How
many of the HEAVIER there are cannot be
ascertained, they only work at night
and do not all show themselves at once.
But they have displayed all the eXcep-
tional intelligence of the species, and
have built u dam about two feet high
and cut down a lot of popular wood for
| the bark, which they eat during the win
| ter.
THAT the animals should come right Ia
| the middle of a settlement is remark
able and contrary to all, their natural
habits. Old hunters seem to think the
animals must have come down the Licvre
| river, swan up the Ottawa and then up
Green's Creek. Several theories have been
| advanced as to the reason of their COM
| ing Some say that they are, perhaps,
| fugitives from other colonies, and consist
of lazy leavers that have been chased out
by their more Industrious companions
because they were on-producers. Others
think that they may be a part Of "A colony
i that had been broken up by hunters and
have sought to re-establsh themselves
elsewhere.
| Though curiosity has attracted many
! to see their engineering skill, no michel
/ has been done to them, nor is it likely
that there will. for there seems to be a
disposition ON the part of the people OF
the vicinity 10 encourage them to stay.

INVENTED FIRST NELOCIPEDE.

For more than half a century the old
man has been the eccentric character
Of the town and through his marked
peculiarities he is known for miles
around by reputation. if not personally.
In his early days he was termed a
genius and his ability as a mechanic
to-day might cause many to envy him.

tho old man, and after they have told
about his peculiarities they will tell of
his ingenuity. They will declare that
h" ght have been worth millions to-
day if he only had money enough to
carry many of his ideas into execution.
More than 80 years ago he rode a
Velocipcdc, one of his own make. which
he propelled through the streets with
levers operated by hand. The machine
was built with three light carriage
wheels and scores of the inhabitants
of the town say that his vclocipede an -
tcdatcd those ON the market years ago.
They easily place the year that he
made his first three wheeled vehicle.
as he narrowly escaped death by col
lidng with a locomotive at tho Jcri.
cho road crossing of the Central Yer
mont railroad in this town after shoot =
ing down steep hill, He was so bad
~ frightened that he gave up the idea
of pcrfecting his velocipede.
For moro than half a century he
has been n veterinary surgeon and his
success was so remarkable in curing
cattle and horses that no veterinary
ever found any business here.
Mr.. Bryant was born within few
feet of where his hut now stands.
After receiving the education which a
village school afforded in those days,
he became a blacksmith and wheel
wright. He was very apt in learning
the business and could do such good
work that he soon monopolized the
business of the town. He was also a
carpenter and to accommodate the viii
layers he made and repaired their
shoes. lie could work at anything his

We repeat again that the spinners
of cotton will never come to produc-

their cotton in such quantities as will
warrant their coming. 1t is well per-
haps to have these conferences with
mill men in order to have a better un-
derstanding as to better handling,
packing and ginning the staple; but
when the cotton farmer goes to the
spinner for help to maintain profita-

simply acting the fool.
There is no other occupation or
craftsmen under the sun that can do
anything to help cotton farmers that
will not try to help themselves. Cot
