The company's aim is to first place the cigars in the consumers' hands, anticipating a large wholesale demand as the result of sending out a good vigor and awarding au impartial and satisfactory distribution of prizes, sell- ing direct to the consumers. The whole1e and retail profit i$ received ; the retail profit is returned to their patrons in substantial prizes. As in- vestors get value in good cigars, they are nothing out, and the enterprise appears very fair and feasible, and ehould certainly meet with decided *motes. Business is quite as good and the situation of the country quite as en- couraging as we ought to expecte There are many workers out of em- ployment. and hardly any enterprise, is making welch looney, yet people are getting enough to eat and enough to wear, and are living along in happiness with reasonable euunomy. The coun- try is rich and sound at the core, and when allthe inflated and delusive con- cerns are settled up and cleared away, we shall find that we are a great deal better off than the philosophers of ca- lamity and despair have inaginea.— .:1.

Let every Ca• nadian factory continue to merit the confidence of the foreign trade, by turning out only prime full cream cheese. The same authority states that many merchants have suffered heavy losses last year by not selling or consigning their supplies of batter when fresh The mistake of holding for firmer markets, till butter gets off flavor, results in a loss in nearly every instance. The sagacity of cows is generally Bey. linderated.
