comprising, within a lofty enclosure, a
set of copper smelting works, and a
long row of dwellings and workshops

300 inhabitants, for whose labor the
works, and for whose lodgment the
dwellings, had been elaborately and
systematically constructed. But not a
single soul now tenants shop, factory
or dwelling. All is as deserted as
Goldsmith's "Auburn." The east wind
whistles through the unglazed windows
of thp cottages, bats fiit, through the
doors, and owls hoot dismally in the
deserted belfry of the factory. And as
the "loveliest village of the plain" was
depopulated by the oppression of a ty

workings of a law of Congress passed
