The consolidation of Heath, piings & Co., and the Farmers' tanking and Mercantile Company it this place, undei the corporate lante of The Lancaster Mercantile Company, will give Lancaster one ?i the largest and strongest met antile establishments in the state.

As to the effect of the con solilution upon the business of Lan aster, we are unable to say. The ulure alone can tell. Many are li-posed to take a gloomy view of he situation. They think the conolnlation lneans the death of com ictition and that Lancaster, hereotore known far and wide, as ho cheapest market in the State, >y this change will hecomo one of ' he deurest. Wo hope such will ' ind this not to be the case. The lien interest* d in this enterprise ire all pood business men and for he most part they are public pirited men. It does not stand* o reason that such men would J onsolidate their businesses to aise prices and drive trade from he town, but on the contrary, the front combination of capital re-j luces expenses and enables them ^ o do business at a minimum cost j nd will enable them to <jive the . . oiisumcr the full bone tit in the eduction of prices of poods.? Their object, we hope is to down < inpetition of other towns by anlersclling them, .lust wait and ec. We hope and lielieve it is he intention of the new concern o attract a larger trade here than ^ ianeHster has ever had before. It an, if it will. >w, we do hope that the peo>le of this county, who wo know in fer selling their cotton and dong their trading here, will give liis innrket n fi.irtoul liofirn nwli. - ng (ill t<? some other. With a cot*, on mill here that will consume a argo part of the cotton bought on his market it is safe to presume hat the prices will he ecpial to or ,hove the ncighho iug markets.? i f tlrnv are not, then we say go to he market wheie vou can get the . i uost for your cotton, hut, don't neonvenienee yourselves in going o another market until you have ried \our home marked. We rant to r ee the people of the eoun v and our business men get toether and each work for the bentit of the other. Wlion such gets 0 he the case, we will see the own progressing along commerial and uianufacluring lines and tie county advancing along all loch. "(jit together." JURAT FJRK IN YOKOHAMA.

When tho present cditc be^an occupying the sanctum li found that the greatest imped ment to the progress of tho tow was the opposing factions in tli town. If one man with eapiti suggested an enterprise of an kind ethers would talk against and what one thought was a goo thing another was sure to thiD was bad.

Spain and Franc havo no laws recognizing the da of re t, while Knglaud has he laws preserving this day and thos laws are rigidly enforced, and th results establish the wisdom o such laws, while the status o I'ranee and Spain shows ttie con verso the rule.
