A bar fif teen inches long, about two inches wide and threo sixteenths of an inch thick, is worth about $1,000. It would makn 300 four ponny.weight rings. A dozen processes nnd twenty minutes tunc are required to change tho bar in to merchantable rings. A pair ot shears cut tho bar into strips. By tho turn of a wheel, ono, two or threo times, the guillotino blade of the shears cuts tho bar into slices, one, two or three-sixteenths of an inch wide. A rolling maohino presses out tho strips and makes them iiat or grooved, liaci strip is then put undor a blowpipe and aunoaled l ho oxldo ot copper comes to tho surface, nnd is put into a picklo of sulphuric acid, and tho bit of gold is stamped with its quality and tho namo of tho maker, ami is put through a machino that bends it into the shapo of a ring of any size.

The church had been with out a regular pastor for a short timo ii-ioi- to 1 833, and Dr. Lyman Becchcr, lii- "on-in-law, Kov. Charles E. Stowe, and other professors from "Old Lano" i i i i : i i . unit occasional services ;um hujii uu c e mi tho littlo flock in Batavia. In 1833 Itcv. tieorgo needier was caned to tho pastorate, and remained in charge till 1837. It was while Ins old er buMier was the pastor that iienry Ward first entered tho pnlpit. lie had boi-n a btudont at Lane for a year, and wr.i "pending a week at his brother's houso' when Judge Owen T. tisliback, who had somehow becomo imprcssod thai the young man had more than or dinary ability, persuaded him to preach on I'tio Saturday night. When tho timo camu the sexton light' ilthe tallow candles in the tin (court's hanging against tho wall, rang the 1'ieer, squeaking old bell, and so cubed tho villagers together. It was gfiii-rally known who tho speaker won I be, and most of tho congroga ti'Mi were drawn by curiosity. Many kni"i him as a rather "green'' youth, haii'ly out of boyhood, and full of praii s of all kinds whenever opportu nity nffered, and thoy exchanged glanc es with each other as they saw "Hen ry'' in the, box like pulpit, evidently ui'iii' than half frightened at the or- ileal i eiorc him. iNObouy ncro can re- all i he text or much of tho sermon, cl all who heard it concede that the spe:ikt r had more than ordinary talouts. Uncle John White, a young man leu, says of it: "His appearance was ag-iui-.t Mm, tor lie was a shy, boyish ooking young nun, but betoro ho got thio-iijh ho cast off his scare, and I likul him belter than his brother ?! ;o. His contrast to tho stern, un- iu! 'big Puritanic stylo of his revered fat r was marked by all." M . Lowe, at that timo a young la- ly or Batavia, says: Young Beechor's sermon was a grand effort, mnthodical urn to and impassionato in delivery, though he was greatly in fear and tru biing until neatly half way thrmuh. Then his timidity left him, and he closed in a most ablo and happy maniicr." .In! n W. Ivain, the oldest of Bata iaV citizens, was a man grown when Bo' uher preached here, and still retains viv l recollection ot the impression t in i In on him. Says ho: "I liked his jib uu 1 stylo, becauso I thought hr had memo in him, though most of tho youu : folks thought ho was poor tim ber, owing to his greenness. And I was light; for, after a hesitating pray. er umiI a timid way of reading tho lijinn. nnd after stumbling somo in tho ginning ot his sermon, he warmed up and went through his discourse which was a doctrinal one, in a manner strongly indicative of his futuro sue- cer". Although not a church member, I wi so moved that I wont up after the congregation was dismissed and congratulated him on his success in his first ITort." The old chinch was sold in 1859, and a brick edifico erected for tho grovx'ng congregation, and in timo tho old building became a part of tho 'll'i'i'iltoninu houso" hotel property, and is now used as a carriago-liouso and stable, whilo on Sundays it is not infrc'piontly tho resort of thirsty lop erf, who smuggle into it the whisky and beer tho town ordinance docs not allow thorn to enjoy elsowhete.
