The old saw mill near the gap was burnt, and the young timber on three or four hundred acres considerably injured.

ADDRESS OF THE CHIEF BURGESS. Gentlemen of the Town Coutu il— By the partiality of the independent voters of the Borough of Lewistown, 1 have again been called to preside over your deliberations. In taking upon myself the delicate and respon sible duties of Chief Burgess, I feel as if I ought to foreshadow to some extent the prin ciples which shall govern me during my ad ministration. But in running out a Platform upon which I intend principally to stand, I do not wish it to be understood that I will fol low up and carry out a pre-conceived idea, i'lght or wrong, to the weal or woe of the community, Lut when right points to a new idea, and justice lead* the way, will join in ; with it m the spirit of a true reformer. There I are many subjects to which I might invite 1 your attention, a*d the first is that of clean liaess. 1 his is of vast lznpoi tanceat all times but particularly in the summer season is it necessary to adopt such sanatory measures as will guard the health of our citizens ; and as cleanliness is one of the principal guaran tees of the health of the people, any measures you may adopt to promote that desirable ob ject will meet my decided approbation, and I shall use all the power invested in me, in conjunction with the police, to carry them into effect. The prosperity and happiness of our town depends to a great extent on the manner in which the municipal government is administered. Strangers, in seeking a neat, pleasant town as a permanent location for themselves, and where they can raise and ed ucate their children, have a keen eye to the manner in which it is governed, and all its institutions conducted. Bad government and poorly conducted institutions, will doom any city or town to an inglorious existence and a premature decay. I would call your attention to the streets, lanes, and alleys. There are & number of places along Market, Main, and Wayne streets, which need repair. Care should be observed that the convex form be maintained in repair ing or paving the streets. Mill street is now traveled as much as any in tewn, and should be put in proper order, as nearly all our means of subsistence comes in that street. — The pavements along the above mentioned streets are also in bad condition. In many places along Market street they are torn up, so that it is dangerous for pedestrians to make their way over them. The pavement at Logan school house is rooted up, and along \ Third street, and McNeal's row, there are dangerous places almost amounting to dead | falls. The alley from the foot of the Odd 1 Fellows' Hall lot, running eastward to the foot of Mrs. Randolph's lot, is in very bad condition. There is considerable travel on that alley now, and it ought to be stoned, and that on the concave plan, so as to carry the water in its proper direction more effectually. There are, doubtless, many other repairs needed throughout the town that have not come immediately under my observation, | and many necessary improvements which , ought and can be made within our means, if | judiciously and economically managed, which j will add much to the comfort and convenience ■ of our citizens. All the improvements undertaken by the Council should be well done. It is poor economy to do things half, as in the end they cost the Borough more, and are no credit to their projectors. The doctrine of " penny wise and pound foolish" is too far behind the age to rule the counsels of the present day. The running at large of hogs within the borough limits has been heretofore a most intolerable nuisance. It will be the duty of the High Constable to carry out the provis ions of the ordinances on that subject now in force, to their full extent. Those who are determined to raise their own swine flesh within the confines and crowded limits of the borough, ought to be taught that the hogs must be kept from running at large, and the pens kept in sucb good order as not to offend the olfactory organs of all the neighborhood, with the very disagreeable and pestilential effluvia which generally arises from neglected pig sties. The money already expended in filling up the " Frog Pond" anf other health ful improvements, will be of little avail, if these, and overrunning cess pools, are per mitted to exist in every portion of the town, spreading sickness, death, and sorrow all around. As great a friend as I am to the canine race, I would not omit to suggest that too many of them are permitted to run at large in the hot season, subjecting our citizens to the danger of being bitten and becoming im pregnated with that fatal virus which always ends in hydrophobia. It will be the duty of the High Constable to see tl.at they are muz zled during the h->t months. There is a great amount of rowdyism in our town which should be suppressed by all means. It is well enough for Americans to rule, but " Young America" should be taught not to begin before their time. The police are either not vigilant enough, or are too weak and inefficient to maintain good order in the town. I would recommend that the police force be re-organized, and a new and semi secret plan, something after the model of the French system, adopted. If that plan were put in execution, the rowdyism which has BO much disgraced us would sown disap pear from our midst. There has been considerable disorder crea ted in our midst by drunkenness; and as to the best means of applying a proper remedy to that alarming evil, some of our citizens have differed with others who were probably too extreme- and over zealous. It is not for me to say which side had the right. My opinion is that extremes in anything are dan gerous. A middle course, so as not to com promise with truth and right, is always safe, and seldom leads to fanaticism. While 1 give our sincere temperance friends credit for their laudable efforts to reclaim drunkards and to persuade those who sell liquor to discontinue the traffic, I must commend ray predecessor and the members of the Town Council for the courageous manner they pursued that course they thought to be right, regardless of slang from any quarter. Should a similar case oc cur during my administration, I will be gov erned in my action by the circumstances sur rounding it, and pursue that course which will be most likely to produce the greatest amount of good to the greatest number. I will endeavor to make the best out of the town property, discriminating as well as 1 can between the different objects for which the Town Hall may be wanted from time to time, ami my hope is that I may succeed in pleasing all and at the same time have an eye to the revenue for the borough treasury. I cannot close my address without congrat ulating the people of the borough on the sound state of our financial affairs. We are out of debt, and have still a small amount in the treasury. The councils, for the last several jearß, deserve great credit for tin ability with which they have managed the affairs of the borough. They hare made many valuable improvements, paid large amounts of old debts, and have lately introduced gas for the public use, and put up iron lamp posts throughout tho town. They also saved the people fifteen hundred dollars in not laying a tax two years ago. And I ain also inclined to think that, notwithstanding much seems to be against us in a moral point of view, wo have still made some progress in morality and religion. In conclusion, I would say to the present council, take up the good work so nobly be gun by your predecessors, and carry it on. Iho same effort to get into debt will k fi ep us out of it if reversed, and our borough treasury will be kept par, and all our orders promptly paid, which, after all, forms the crowning glory of any people who desire to be free and happy, whether it be in individual, municipal, county or State affairs. 1 he lighting of the street lamps was allot ted to l'hilip ltnyiner, at §7O per annum, he being the lowest bidder. Resolved, I hat a tax of three mills be lev ied for the ensuing year, and that R. D. Smith be authorized to make out a duplicate from the county assessments. Appeal day, 20th April, 1858. The High Constable was instructed to re turn an old house on the corner of Wayne and Water streets to the Grand Jury as a nuisance. 'I he High Constable was also instructed to give the usual noiice relative to Swine, Sheep dirt, &c. p by the 10th April. Resolved, That the use of the Town Hall be given to the Public Schools for Exhibitions on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings without charge. TEE IRON ORE IN TIIE RIDGE. —In an swer to many inquiries touching the recent discovery of Iron Ore near this place, Gen. IRWIN lias furnished us with the following interesting details, which also contain ma ny geological facts of value to the general reader. For the Gazette. THE ORISKANY HILLS. A traveler westward over the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, in passing out of the Water ' Gap of the Juuiata, near Lewistown, in at tracted by a range of heights which traverse I centrally the-valley lying between Shade and Jack's mountain. Tbe highest of these par allel ridges is distinguished by a crest of sandstone having at a short distance the ex act appearance of a vertical wall, unbroken for several miles. These hills are never seen in Europe, this sand rock being whslly absent there. It is the Oriskany Rock, thus described by J. P. Lesley, Esq., in his admirable Man ual of Coal and its Topography : " There runs through these wide valleys a subordinate range of bills, the outcrop more or less dis tinguished of a peculiar, but subordinate sand rock, called the Oriskany Sandstone No. VII, fuil of fossils, which when once seen can nev er be mistaken. Its topographical exhibitions are extraordinary. The Pulpit Rocks of tbe Juniata arc fragments of its horizontal layers. The rock is remarkable in many ways, it may be said never to vary its character, always a hard, rugged, cellular, iron stained chert. It is the point or plane of originator for a total change of life, one of the mosi striking of the phenomena of geology. A new creation begins here. It underlies a black slate deposit, which is the earliest known attempt at making coal. In this last point ol view it is of peculiar significance." In the Fourth Annual Report ol the Geological Sla vey of Pennsylvania by Henry I>. Rogers, .State Geologist, Formation 7 from Lewis town to Maryland is minutely described, (p. 88, 80, Ac.) and a peculiarity is several times noted, that the Oriskany "includes a narrow zone of the dark slates of Formation 8, lying atony the trouyh in its summit." This district of Pennsylvania was assigned by I'rofessoj: Rog ers to Dr. Andrew Henderson, now Surgeon in the U. S. Navy, and his explorations are marked with all that accuracy, that force of analysis, that powerful reach of investigation which distinguishes genius when combined with labor. Among other interesting facts which drew his attention was this one, that all the Iron Ore workings among these hills of 7 were in the same part of the slate of 8 held in the embrace of the sand rock. I quote from same Report, page 94: "Iron Ore in Formation B. The discovery of the true nature and exact position of the iron ore connected with this formation fur nishes an interesting illustration of the utih ty of geological researches systematically prosecuted. The ore having been previously dug at the outcrop only at remote and scat tercd points, no general clue to its position applicable in practice had been detected, nor was it probable that any could be, until the order of super-position had been minutely and mctli dieaily studied. No sooner was this done, however, than we perceived that all the outcrops of the ore, accidentally dis covered in the formation, belonged to one solid extensive band, rcyularly interstratificd in the lower part of these slates, accompanied by such well marked features in theadj lining rocks as to render the tracing of its cour-c with proper skill and knowledge a matter f ease and certainty. From the descriptions given above (he is referring back to p. 88, 89 of the several belts of Formation 8 in the long and wide valley of Lewis/own, some idea can be had of the truly prodigious body of thin ore which yet remains undeveloped." This was published in 1840, aud siuc.' this time the di-c very of the very valuable ore banks, the McGirk and Snyder, belonging to Etting, Graff A Co., the Watts n Bank, tie* Galbraith Bank. Ac., prove the correctness of the statement, for in each of these the ore is found in separate but exactly similar belts ol 8, and in the same position in each belt. In examining the ground cKise to Lewistown with the view of discovering the ore close at hand—so as to save in that ruinous item, transportation—l was struck with the bold outcropping of the Oriskany in the second ridge north of the town, and the preservation of the included slate of 8 which i i-es near to the summit of the sand rock. The cross section of the strata made by the side-cutting of the new turnpike leading to Bollefonte, gave me a fine opportunity to study the entire formation—the Limestone C, Oriskany 7. and the Olive Slates, Cement Layers and Buff colored Sandstone of 8, lying in the Synclinal Basin. Repeated and careful examinations failed to detect even a trace of the Iron Ore along the road, although on the opposite side of Kishacoquillas creek the bog ore, so char acteristic of the carbonate of iron, showed itself in Col. Banks' meadow, and his bank and that of Mr. George Sigler were in the same line with the laud of Mr. 11. Shaw, which 1 was examining, and apparently ex actly similar in formation. Leaving the Creek. I had a small proving shaft sunk about 30 feet from the sand rock, hut passing through the calcareous or cement layers, we struck a highly carbonaceous shale, (the de ceptive shale whieb has led so many persons to ruin in pursuit of coal,) which readily ig nites and burns with a red heat until its per centago of carbon, about 30, is consumed. We were evidently below the Ore—" it lies usually closely contiguous to the calcareous or ceinent layer- of the formation, overlying them only a few feet, (Rogers' Report, 1840, p. 95.) Abandoning this shaft, 1 determined to run the line of the strike of the Rock from the mines on the opposite side of the gap in the Ridge, trusting that as the Ore was Grat ified, closely resembling in this respect a coal seam, this line would delect its outcrop on the Shaw side of the Creek. This line was carefully run by Capt. Franks, an admirable Civil Engineer, and John R. Weeks, Esq., our former County Surveyor, and I had a small trial shaft sunk on it on or about a level with the outcrop at the Banks Mine. It showed in a few feet tho Slate above the Ore. A abaft intermediate between tho first and second, it was expected, would intercept the band of Ore, and one was sunk and a drift driven from it toward the Ridge; in a few feet we struck the calcareous layer, but no Ore! and what was most singular, no roam for it between the Cement and the Slate ! It wi. most surprising and puzzling. We could, looking in a direct N. E. line from our shaft, see the position of the Banks ore mine, from which we were separated only by the creek, which here makes a deep gap in the ridge. We were on their line, at tneir level, and working in their slates and clay, but we had no top ore, no bog, nothing in fact to hang a hope on ; and yet I was im movably convinced that we were near the Ore, for its stratified and regular character were proved by cumulative evidence of the clearest kiud, and wo had the formation full and undisturbed. It was therefore almost impossible that tbe Ore should be wanting. I had a master miner, Mr. Alexander Berlew, a most faithful man, and thoroughly acquain ted with the working of this Ore. I gave close attention to his description of the work ing of the Wattson Bank, and found that there was, if he were not mistaken, an inver tion in the strata near the Ore, or at least a marked extraordinary change. This descrip tion was BO evidently truthful, that we made renewed search for auy leader, and found faint traces of the bog oxide in fields adjoin ing the Shaw lands, but further from the ridge, and a spring there also showed stroDg marks of the iron. We resolved to abandon the work on Shaw's land, which mainly lies on the S. W. slope of the gap, and sunk a se ries of small trial shafts on the second bench, going step by step towards the Oriskany out crop. Being deeply interested in the solu tion of a problem which I knew t( be of im mense importance, I carefully recalled the descriptions of this region given in Rogers' Report, satisfied that I had omitted to note some condition in tbe formation on which the position and the discovery of the Ore depend ed. While anxiously rellecting on the sub ject, it flashed across my mind, that there was a trough in the lower layers of formation 8, and hastily turning to Rogers' description of this very ridge in 1840, 1 read in page 80. "Another sandstone ridge, the most south eastern of the series, seen immediately north west of Lewistown, extends for several miles along the Huntingdon turnpike until it ter minates about half a mile north of Strodes' .Mill. This belt of sandstone, like most oth- | era, .supports a narrow strip of formation 8 j atony its .summit, protected from denudation I by Mc.eupving the middle of a trough in the I strata. Here was the key of the region—the 1 difficulties all vauished, the problem was j solved, the ore was hidden in a narrow, deep ! trough lying atony the summit (not the crest) of the outcropping sandstone, which like a rugged but faithful guardian, held within its embrace and protected from destruction this mineral treasure. Professor Rogers justly characterises it " as a beautiful provision for the protection and distribution of the Ore." It is another among the innumerable instan ces of the wisdom and beneficence of the Al- : mighty Architect of the Earth and the Hea vens. That your readers may understand clearly the position of the ore-bearing por tion of this formation, it must be remember ed that geological and geographical height are entirely different from each other, and that the various-layers, strata, or plates of rocks, clays, Ac., of this formation were orig inally laid down horizontally, and that the ground between the first Limestone ridge X. H . of Lewistown and the Sandstone ridge parallel with and next to it is completely fil led by a basin or synclinal axis of Formation 8. Lay down several sheets of paper one ov-r the other in regular succession, bend them upward at cacti end, thus you have a synclinal axis, the ends are synclinal ridges, tli** centre is occupied by the higher and the lidos by the lower layers, although they ap jwar to be the highest; now mark atony the side-' near the edges a trough running paral lel with them, and you have the position of the Ore in a synclinal axis; it is within this trouyh and no where cist ; hut in the hills of the opposite or anticlinal structure the black slate and the ore occupya narrow valley, with the coarse sandstone of 7 on one side, and hills of the grey sandstone and olive slate on the other; cut a slip through the upturned edges, shaped like the letter V, with a long sloping side to represent the right bank i f the Kishaeoquillas, at the gap at Shaw's you will see at a glance how the trough is cut away by the creek. On visiting the new shaft which was started on Kline's land adjoining ( Bhaws. 1 found that it showed the black s'ate dipping steeply, not from, but toward the ridge. Another small shaft ten feet nearer the ridge brought us to thin seams of cement, and small fragments of oxidised ore. We w re rapidly approaching the Ore beyond; doubt. We moved yet nearer the ridge and on Saturday, after working all day in the -and which had washed down from the sides if the ridge, we were sure of the prize if we , had hut daylight sufficient to work. On Monday morning, very early, the work was renewed, and about eight o'clock the Ore was struck—an ample compensation for all the difficulties which we had encountered. It lies undisturbed in the deep, well guarded channel prepared for its protection, a regular, heavy band of the proto carbonate of iron, \ oxidi.-ed at its outcrop, " precisely similar in j chemical composition with the nodular and plate ores of the coal measures," (Rogers j Report, 184<i.) easily mined and smelting with great ease ; the carbonate of the coal measures 1 yields when smelted alone one of the finest metals in the world," (Lesley, Manual of Coal,) and there is no reason why this Ore will not give a similar yield, for it is exactly similar in character. There is not a doubt of its presence in yreat force for 4 miles atony the summit of the second ridge N. W. of Lewis town, ami among the other iHirallel sandstone riilyes, wherever this trouyh remains in posi tion. The application of a single, well ascer tained fact in practical geology has cleared away all difficulty in finding this valuable mineral, and there is no more guess work or mystery about it. I forbear any comment on the importance of this discovery further than to say that every reflecting and intelligent man will see in it the real basis of the future prosperity Of this district—a future not dis tant if we would but appreciate the undevel oped wealth that surrounds us. In another paper I will present some con siderations in regard to the management of this Ore in a furnace, which I trust may prove interesting to your readers. Very respectfully yours, March 30, 1858. " WM. IL IRWIN. Married. On the 25th March, by Rev. J. A. Hess, MATTHIAS BENNER "and Miss MARY MARTHA SMITH, both of this place.
