A general revival of buisuess is icpjr -,l matiu ted in the Ohio iron regions, factuerers are overwhelmed with orders j ut advanced prices. Nashville, 'renn, shows signs of aw,ak I Mug prosperity. According to a local journal "$250,000 will not cover I ho cost j of the houses in in course of vctlon and to be erected during the year U*70."

The price ranges Irom twenty to fifty cents per pouud. Tlie Milwaukee (VVis.)

Tho (Cincinnati Gazette has interview ed a number of tlie representative busi ness men of that city with reference to the business outlook for the spring, it finds universal cheerfulnobs and a large increase of business over that of last year. Among the blanches of business which will he affected by the new Canadian g« tariff' is that of trunks. The Newark (N. J.) Journal says:—"Thenew Cana diau tariff* ojierates against the trunk manufacturers in this city, as to that country they have been accustomed to look foi Salem, Mass., semis encouraging news in regard to the shoe trade. The l*ott y of that city, says :—"The spring trade has everywhere the fullest indications of befog better than it has been for years, and all there is wanted now is for the people to fully realize the situation the wheels of business will just lium." A Lewiston (Me.) paper reports that "business at the Lewiston Machine Com ' l ,all > 6 works is now livelier than it has been iu years. Every available space iu the works is in use and a very large force is employed. The foundry is crowded with work. A large quantity of cotton machinery is being turned out for tlie Cabot Company, Brunswick; for the Hullowell Mill, for the Rontiae, for the I York, offc>aco;for tw 1 re i ice and for a mill in Atlanta, Ga. A uuler is being filled for a mill chiefly looms and shafting," The Boston Post prints a bright pic ture, an follows:—"The factories are , generally resuming or making :»«) resume work, ami if the foreign market '■ could ho still more rapidly extended .by ,* Intelligent legislation their prospects I would improve at a much more speedy pace. But it is all certain to come right •r oi time. Even real estate, which is the last to rally, feel« the effect of the reviv ing trade impulses amt improves its ^ figures and pretensions together. Wo have reached a stage, in fact, at which further movement is possible in but one direction. Everything must now go for ward. The country is evidently aoout to enter on a career of prosperity whose P spfeudore have hardly yet been lrnagiu important market. i h Ils in Law at Allan it f *ady to PERSONAL.

"STUMP THE WORLD" PEACH. There is a general impression that this very popular variety of peach, so exten sively supplied to Philadelphia markets from New Jersey, is a native ofthat .State. But a correspondent of The Wettern Ag riculturitt gives the following account of its origin : "I see that some of our West ern horticulturists credit the 'Slump the World'peach to New Jersey. The fol lowing is the correct history of its origin, so far as known : A party of us had be a deer hunt north of Coldwater, Branch county, Michigan, when night overtaking us, we stopped with James Barney for Llio night. In the morning he showed us a seedling peach tree. It was standing in his meadow, between the roots of a very large oak stump (over three feet across). At the time It was shown us (September 7) there were but two peaches oil it ; he said there had been about a dozen. In shape they closely re sembled a large lemon ; in color they re sembled a deep colored sweet orange,with but very little furze upon them, peaches were weighed in presence of nine other persons besides myself, and the weight put down at thirty-three ounces. I cut all of the wood that would do for buds,and sent, them to A. Frost & Co., of Rochester, N. V., with a description. They called it'the Stump Peach;' after it bore they called it 'Stumpof the World.' The original tree did not leaf out the next spring." out The American trunks ate in great demand in Ireland.
