The farmer and the owner of homes is presented
with a Company to insure him which takes no greater
risk than fa: m property and single dwellings and
their contents. - - - . ' '

,It appears lhnt in the accounts at the
Comptroller’s ofilee the city is re resented
as having paid between January, 866, and
J lily, 1870, $463,000, to Mr. G. L. Schuyler
for lumber. while Mr. Schuyler isa perfect]
honorable man, and whose word no one wi I
doubt, states that during the whole period
he received only $49,000, for which he gaae
full value in timber and lumber. . His pay
for this he did not receive directly from the
city authorities,but through a lhll'd person
to whom be assigned his claim on the rec-
ommendntien of Janus WATSON,'. County
Auditor, now deceased. This third person
whose name Mr. Scum does not ' give,
altered the claim by adding $415,000 to it
after which he obtained the money, paying
Mr. Schu ler his share, and dividinglhc
amount 0 the robbery with some member
or members of the Ring. Other instances
of the same sort of fraud are plenty.-’-—Sun.

Shefiieid.England,w‘rich has made cul-
lery for all creation, begins tolremble before
American ingenuity and enterprise. A
member of the trade, wri ing to a Shefleld
paper says that “the manufacturers of .able-
knives here seem to have one as low as
they mm in price, and that hefileld s
can just compete (with the American , and
that is all.” He continues: “The Ameri-
can madc one and live-blade pocket-knives
are beginning to push out sim' r
made in Sheffield all over the ,west and
northwest." And what is more, the writer
admits that this is deservedly 'the' case, the
American knives beingwell and handsomely
made, beyond anything turnedout in Shef-
fie.d, except by the most famous .manuihc—
lurers. Even the name of “ Rogers ,”- or of
“Jonathan Crooks” on a knife-blade. is no
longer potential ; and the writer in question
actually advises the sending out of two
smart men lo America to learnrour latest
inventions in the knife-making business. So
much for superior intelligence and enter-
prise, in spite of higher cost of living and
the other disadvantages 'infiicled,.espccially
by the war upon our manufacturers. ;
