; The iron business iu Lebanon county,
sa ys the Courier, is in a frightfully de- ,
pressed condition. Neither of the five
North Lebanon furnaces is now in opera- j
tion ; and the two splendid new furnaces
which were recently erected at Cornwall, *
near the Ore Hanks, will not be blown in.
It is feared the blowing of them into oper- ;
a tion might 44 have a bad effect on public ■.
opinion in England."
JAMBS C. TAYLOR, of Atlantic, N. J.,
writes to the American Agriculturalist as ■
follows respecting the planting of Corn :
44 I had the benefit of soaking corn in
saltpetre, to plant, well tested last year, on
a small piece of ground, planted late. I
had not enough soaked to plant all the
piece. Where it was not soaked, the black
birds pulled about one-third ; where it was
soaked they seldom touched a hill. But
what was most peculiar, there happened
to be one row planted with dry corn be- •
tween two rows that were soaked ; of the i
dry they took several hills clean, and, al
together, about one-third of the row, while i
they did not take more than one hill of the 1
two saltpetre rows.
DROWNED. —We learn from the Bellc

iloating logs to the Mill, and for the pur
pose had constructed a small float or raft,
upon which he was observed a short time
before his disappearance. It is supposed
that the logs of the raft parted and that he
fell through, and thus got under it.
