A liberal Proprietor.

--Sir Elkanah Armitage, of Manchester, England, has fed and clothed the whole of his work-people, some twelve hundred in number, ever since the mills have been closed, and intends to do so as long as the necessity may last. He has been heard to say: ‘"I will share my property with my distressed work-people as long as I have a shilling left; this is my special mission; and as I do not ask the public to give one who has been in my employ, but take the whole burden on myself, so it will account for no large sum appearing against my name in the subscription list."’
