THE LADY'S FRIEND FOR APRIL.
—The April number of this popular
magazine wanes to us with the fresh
ness and life of spring. In the steel
plate "On Guard," the alert watchful
ness of the dog contrasts finely with
the repose of the sleeping boy. The
Colored Fashion Plate is r/ay and
graceful as usual; and the profusion
and variety of illustrations of articles
of feminine use ami adornment give
the ladies every opportunity to know
how to dress well. Those who like to
make for themselves will find assist
ance iu the wotk-table department.—
The stories are very good. Published
by Deacon & Peterson, 810 Walnut St,
Philadelphia. Price $2.50 a year.
Peterson's Magazine for April is al
ready on our table. It maintains the
high character of this favorite lady's
book. The steel engraving, "Eyes
Right," is capital, full of fun and char
acter. The colored steel fashion plate
is superb, excelling anything in its
line we have seen. The stories are by
the best writers in the country; in this
department "Peterson" excels pre-emi
nently. We do not see how anybody
can do without this magazine.—
Terms, $2.00 a year, with great reduc
tions to clubs. Address C. J. PETER
SON, Philadelphia, Pa.
TnE first experience of the women
of Wyoming as jurors proves conclu
sively that in invading the domain
which the masculine biped has hither
to considered peculiarly his, they have
not laid aside the feminine quality of
having opinions of their own and tena
ciously sticking to them. Ihe trial
upon which they were engaged was a
case of murder, and for four consecu
tive nights they had been detained
unable to agree. The dispatch says
that they looked pale and fatigued, but
we can readily imagine that they will
allow themselves to be well nigh starv
ed and become quite ill before any dis
position to give in is developed.
Since writing the above we learn
that the jury has actually agreed—a
circumstance that makes the novelty
of a female jury all the more wonder
ful.
The BODIES OF THE CONDEMNED.—
As some may be curious to know
what disposition has been made of the
bodies of Bohner and Bodenburg, we
relate. On Wednesday Sheriff Neely
iiad appoiuted two colored uien to bu
ry them. They took the bodies to an
open lot in the northeast portion of the
town in the evening; both the gra*e
diggers got drunk and left the job be
fore it was completed, and neither of
the bodies were buried. On Thursday
morning the Sheriff appointed anoth
er party to finish it, but while doing
st) the borough authorities interfered
and would not allow them to be buried
within the borough limits. The bod
ies were then taken to a field a short
distance from town where they were
interred, with nothing but the mound
to mark the spot.— Huntingdon Globe.
FIRE.—On Friday morning last, in
Cumberland Valley township, the
mansion house and adjoining build
ings, belonging to JohnGrowden, were
entirely consumed by fire. Most of
the furniture, beds, c'othirg, Ac., were
saved ; but all the provisions, consist
ing of meats, vegetables, canned and
d-ied fruits, were destroyed. The
house caught fire from a stove-pipe in
a small kitchen, occupied by his son,
John W. Growden, and the fire was
not discovered until the devouring
element had made such headway as
rendered it impossible to extinguish
it. It was not more than two hours
from the time the fire was discovered
until the whole was a mass of ruins.
The loss is estimated at about $2,000.
There was an insurance on the house
of SIOO and $l5O insurance on the fur
niture. B.
LARGELAXDSLID E.—NARROW ESCAPE
of a Freight Train. —On last Thursday
a large land slitie occurred at Cyphers'
Cut on the Huntingdon & Broad Top
Railroad, and the passenger train and
the mails were thrown several hours
behind time in consequence. The lo
cal freight train had just barely pass
ed through the cut when the tremen
dous pile of earth came thundering
down upon the track. It was quite
fortunate that this train got through,
for with no engine on this side the
travelling public would have suffered
great inconvenience in getting to and
from Mt. Dallas. It is estimated that
from eighteen to twenty thousand feet
of earth are piled on the track which
it will take several weeks to remove.
In the meantime passengers and the
express will ba transported over the
road as usual rnaki ig allowance for tke
loss of time required to pass around the
cut.
MORRISONS COVE RAILROAD.—A
large and enthusiastic meeting, says
the Holiidaysburg Register, was heid
in the Court House, on Saturday the
I2th inst., for the purpose of closing
up the subscription to the above road.
With some exertion the last dollar of
thethirty thousand wassubscribed. The
greatest enthusiasm was manifested on
the occasion. There is a great contest
going on between Holiidaysburg and
Newry as to whether the road shall
run from the former place or the road
now running to the latter be extended
on through Morrisons Cove. The
friends of the diffeient routes are work
ing like lieavers. In the event that
the Newry people are successful, Hol
iidaysburg will be switched off and
derive very little benefit from the
road. It is expected that the Direc
tors of the Penna. R. R. will take def
inite action in the matter and decide
on the route, at their meeting in Phil
adelphia, to-day, 23d.
A SPLENDID STRUCTURE.— J. M,
Shoemaker, Esq., has removed his
store into the room just finished, in his
new three-story brick house lately e
rected, on Pitt street. Mr. Shoema
ker's new building is one of the finest
structures of the kind in the State. It
is 133 feet 6 inches in length and 36
feet front. Its height is fifty feet, the
stories being severally 15, 14 and 12 feet
high. The room occupied by Mr.
Shoemaker as a store-room is 70 feet
in length by 24 feet in width. Two
beautiful French plate glass windows,
lOj by 5j feet, form the front of the
room. The rootn iseiegantly fitted up,
with handsomely painted and tasteful
ly arranged cases, shelves aud counters,
and will be lighted with several large
chandeliers. The third floor has been
leased for ten years by the Masonic or
der. It will be one of the finest lodge
rooms to be found anywhere. Ilr.
Shoemaker certainly deserves great
credit for this improvement. To
Mer. Davidson and Horn, of this
place, the architect*.-,couch praise is
due for the skill and taste displayed iu
the constiuction of the building.

THE ROBINS.—"When the robins
come Spring is su -e not to lie a great
v/ay off." The first chirp of these
sweet sorgsters is generally eagerly
looked for by every body. We have
heard them "calling upon the house
top," and from the trees several morn
ings during the past week. The fol
lowing upon the subject of the robins
coming, is the most beautiful we rec
ollect ever havit.g seen :
There's call up*,r. the housetop, an answer from
the plain,
There's a warble in the sunshine, a twitter in the
rain,
And through my hart, at the sound of xhese,
There comes a nameless thrill .
A? sweet as odor to the rose,
Or verdue to the hill;
And all these joyous mornings
My heart oours forth this strain ;
"God bless the dear old robins.
Who have come back again.'"
For tbey bring a thought of summer, of dreamy,
precious days,
Of kiug-cups in the meadow, making a golden
base ;
A longing for the ciovrr blooms,
For roses all aglow,
For lragrant blossoms where the bees
With droning murmurs go ;
I dream of all the beauties
Of summer's golden reign,
And iiug : ''God keep the robins.
Who have come back again."
BEDFORD COUNTY IRON ORES.—
JOHN FULTON, Esq., Resident Engin
eer of the Huntingdon and Broad Top
R. R. Co., one of the best scientific and
practical geologists in the United
States, in a report to the President of
the H. & B. T. R. R. Co., submits the
following in reference to the iron ores
of this county and vicinity :
"The belt of iron ores flanking the
Broad Top Coal Fields ou the west,
and extending from Huntingdon to the
State line, belong to and can be con
trolled by Broad Top interests. The
main portion of it is alongside the
Broad Top Railroad, and will be smel
ted by coke from the Broad Top Field.
The portion of this belt between Bloody
Run and the State line- about four
teen miles of good ore—will !>e smelted
at Bloody Run; the furnaces can be
connected with the Railroad by a short
branch from the west end of River
Bridge, when it shall be built. A
tram-road, witn a small locomotive,
will probably be used in conveying the
iron ore and limestone to the furnaces.
It is a remarkable fate, that the larg
est developments ot iron ores flank
the Broad Top Coal Field. South
ward, up Black Valley, the regular
line of Tussey's Mountain is broken
up by Bean's Cove; near the State Hue
txyond this, the measures are irregu
lar, and split into terminal hills, the
iron ore thinning outand uncertain.
These surgenl iron ores Sinking
Broad Top are again repeated ic the
loop curving around the valley in
which the town of Bedford is situated.
This belt of iron ore is rich and valua
ble, and has, to some extent, been se
cured by parties interested in Broad
Top. The most valuable portion of
this belt is near the town of Bedford,
curving round the Dutch Corner, and
throwing a double prong southward
towards Cumberland. It is reasona
ble to infer that as the ore deposits go
southward they will encounter, inn
modified manner, the Bean's Cove line
of disturbances, declining in quantity
and value.
Bedford, as a centre for furnaces,
will be in a position from which all
Iheoresof that belt can be reached by
lateral roads.
Witn the extension of the Broad Top
Railroad to Bedford, the carrying cf
coal for iron smelting there, with the
native trade of the district, will, in
part, be secured to the broad Top in
terests.
The third Belt of ore, and the last
fn the series as it plunges under the
Allegfanies, is found westof edford,
flanking for quite a distance the pro
po;-ed railroad from Bedford to Bridge
port—sixteen miles. That Broad Top
should secure this connecting link, is
an impotant consideration, in view of
the rapidly growing interest in the i
ron ores, and the ..ow eager pursuit of
their acquisition in a region where pig
metal can be manufactured at a small
cost.
It seems to me that with the well
defined amount of mineral resources
presented in this intervening territo
ry and the sure source of trade which
must follow its manufacture, that it is
of sufficient importance to induce
those connected with the Broad Top
interest to lose no time in securing a
position to command the carrying
trade of this wide field of productive
industry, which will be so much in ad
dition to the business and tonnage ly
ing more immediately on the line of
your Road.
The owners of Coal lands and ship
pers of Broad Top Coal should also feel
a deep interest in securing a home
market for a portion of this coal, at
least, thus supplementing the trade,
and measurably removing the sharp
competition now existing in the East
ern Coal Market.
A furnace of the size of that at Rid
dJesburg will consume in a year 22,000
tons of coal, 8,500 tons of limestone,
and 20,000 tons of irou ore, producing
7,£00 to S,OOO tons of pig iron. Twen
ty furnaces would require 440,000 tons
of coal annually.
It is now decided that at least two
additional furnaces Will be erected on
the line of your Road this season, with
the probability that two more will be
commenced before the close of the
year.
The loop of iron ore around Bedford
contains four millions of tons, calcula
ting the rich fossiliferous ores only,
and the Western line or <ange, three
millions of tons.
The developments during the past
year, of the three bands of iron ore de
posits banking the Broad Top Coal
Field, have exhibited the presence of
almost inexhausible quantities of iron
ore.
It is 20 feet 1 inch thick, near Coffee
Run, in a compact seam of almost pure
ore. This—the Levant iron ore—hai
been tested, and is now being user! in
the Cambria Company's furnaces at
Johnstown.
The Hematite and Fossiliferousiron
ores of the lower deposits, have been
opened and worked at many points in
the region, yielding *uf>erior ore and
showing unusual thickness in the de
posits.
Calculations made with great care,
from reliable data, show that in the
three large deposits of iron ore flank
ing the Braad Top field on the West,
estimated to a depth conveniently
reached above water level, there are at
least five hundred millions of tons of
iron ore. This quantity of iron ore
will require, for its reduction in the
furnace, more than five hundred mil
lions ot tons of coal. The extension
of the main line of the Railroad to
Bedford anil a branch up Black Valley
will develop targe additional quanti
ties of iron ore.
The pre-arrangeuicnt evident in the
topography of the Region for the con
centration of the iron ores, fuel and
flux, on the neutral line of gravity, a
long the Railroad and river base, is
truly remarkable, for the belt of the i
ron ore and the Coal Field are notched
at short intervals, by the valleys and
streams, transversely to their length, so
that locations are epened for gravita
ting the iron ores and fuel to the fur
nace sites along the R'ilroad and river.
Nor is this ne*' and wide field of
productiv > induslry shadowed by a
single element of doubt, for sufficient
practical work has been done in it To
settle definitely and conclusively all
considerations of oal, Coke, Iron Ores
and Flux. They have all been proved
to lie of excellent quality, and the fact
exhibited that e superior pig iron can
tie made in this region somewhat
cheaper than any other locality in the
State.
The outlying and detached position
of th° Broad Top Coal Field, has fre
quently led inquiring minds to inves
tigate the design of its isolated post
ure, standing amongsnd surrounded
by the hold arid trequent flexures of
the Juniata District. The recent de
velopments of immense deposits of i
ron ore, the frequent concurrence of
their outcrops as they rise and sink in
these wave flexures, suggest the con
necting link ; and the answer is evi
dent : The Broad Top Mountain is a
storehouse of tninenl fuel, set out in a
region rich in iron ores lying at tlie
base of the Coul Mountain. The
flames from one large furnaceglare up
like ancient signal fires, announcing
that the design in the deposition of the
ores and fuel is understood. Other
furnaces will rapidly rise up and an
swer this signal, until the wide valley
flanking the Coal Held will glitter
with the fires of furnaces dotted along
its length, and resound with the din
of an industry so long neglected and
restrained."
The Kemble Coal and Iron Com
pany, by the erection of a furnace at
Riddlesburg, have solved the problem
whether iron can be manufactured in
this region at such cost as will justify
the investment of capital in the future
developmen of the ore deposits ly
ing adjacent to the coal measures of
Broad Top. Tiieir venture has proved a
complete success. Whilstseventy oth
er furnaces in various parts of the
State have gone out of blast during the
past year, that at Riddlesburg has re
turned a handsome profit to its owners.
The manufacture of pig iron, like the
prtduction of cotton or the collecting
of the precious metals, can flourish on
ly in localities where nature smiles up
on the enterprise. High protective
tariffs fail to make furnaces remuner
ative which are located at great dis
tances from the deposits of ore and to
which cheap fuel is not convenient.—
They are mere gratui ies paid out of
the pockets of the people to keep life
in manufactories which are not self
sustaining and which must die in
spite of the highest protection, as wit
ness the seventy furnaces out of blast
in Pennsylvania at this day. But the
coal measures of Broad Top, the lime
stone of the Juniata and its branches,
and the great searns of hematite and
fossiliferous ores lying adjacent, laugh
at Congressional uncertainty, for they
are a great certainty in themselves and
will add untold millions to the world's
wealth in spit of the fluctuations of
the tariff. While those who insist on
wasting their means in an attempt to
make iron where God and Nature do
not intend it snail be made, depending
only on the crninbs that may fall from
the table of the general government,
wise capitalists will crc-t furnaces in
this favored region and by the unfail
ing light of their ceaseless fires will
teach the lesson that the successful
manufacture of iron niu-l become a le
gitimate business, ba j " 1 on a judi
cious investment of capital, and can
not be dependent on protective legisla
tion. For nature is reality, but Con
gress is a humbug.

This has indeed been a deep and sad affliction
to the fond parents, to consign their precious
Jewel to the narrow limits of ibe grave ; to think
that they have looked for the last time upon that
lovely faee. and listened for the last time to
the cbiidial pratilingsof his sweet familiar voice.
The beautiful little form that used to welcome a
lather's return, and greet a mother s preaeoce. is
now forever bushed in death. With little Huwdie
the -unshine seems to bave gone out of their home.
He was the loved pet of all who knew hitn, and
in the Sabbath School his bright eyes and sweet
cuily hea" were eagerly waicitea for, by all ths
older children of the school. But while we deep
ly sympathise with the bereaved friends, we
woula say to tbeia .
'ib ! call not back, to earth again, the form of
Howdie dear,
For be is happier, happier fur than when ho
sojourned here ;
And tell disease, no mere shall pale your darling
loved one's brow.
For be has passed away from earth, he is an angel
now.
You loved your darling little boy, you loved him
all too we.l,
And 'twas with saddened hearts, that you
called to say farewell :
In meek submission you should say : Oh ' Lord,
"thy will bo done,"
Yet in your hearts their seems a void without
your dear loved one
But oh you should not mourn him now. nor call
him back again,
For when your mortal powers fail, your Btar of
life doth wane,
'Twill urge your upward flight, and fill your
hearts with purest joy.
To know, in heaven, there waits for you your dar
ling angei boy.
