Tlie l*oor Blouse Farm.
It has been a question for several years
whether it was not an error in the first
place to purchase a valuable farm near
town for poor purposes; and especially one
destitute of timber. For a time however
it answered the end designed, but of late
years objections and disadvantages have -
manifested themselves which clearly show i
that the purchase of a smaller tract far- j
ther from town, with a good supply of I
timber on it, would be a, saving to the
taxpayers in the end. Next we have the
fact that the present buildings are in a
great measure unsuitable and inconveni
ent for all classes supported at the public
expense, in evidence of which we need
but cite the proof that last year tlie Di- j
rectors paid the State Lunatic Hospital j
$811.17, or the interest of $13,569.50, a
sum in itself sufficient to build a commo
dious house. This was paid for the sup
port of four or five persons who could
easily be kept here with proper accom
modations We long since came to the \
conclusion that a Steward cannot well j
farm 200 acres and properly attend to his i
other duties, and that where one would
do it ten would not. New buildings arc
now required, and the whole thing is
therefore reduced to the simple question j
whether from $20,000 to $25,000 shall be
levied and collected from the taxpayers
for the purpose of erecting suitable build
ings on the farm now owned by the coun
ty, or whether that farm had not better be
sold, and the proceeds applied to the pur
chase of a cheaper tract and the erection
of suitable buildings, without taxation f
This is the case in a nutshell, and will
enable all to judge whether a bill now
before the Legislature authorizing the
sale of the farm by trustees named in it,
and paying the proceeds into the county
treasury, is right or wrong. For our part, j
we hope our members will see it through
as we are satisfied that in the end it will ;
save money—will prevent a great deal of
pauper loafing about town—and do awav
with a legion of applicants for Steward, a I
position of onerous duties and little pay !

Passage of the Reconstruction
Bill!
As was expec ted Johnson vetoed the re
construction bill passed by Congress, but
two-thirds of each house adopted it over
the veto on Saturday evening, and it is
therefore now the law of the land. The
tenure of office bill and several others also
became laws in the same way. lieverdy
Johnson of Maryland expressed his sur
prise at some of the President's views,
which he declared illogical and contrary
to law, and also stated that many south
erners assured him that the South would
organize under this bill and accept its
conditions.
The new Congress met at 110011 on the
4th. Mr. Colfax was re-elected Speaker,
and Mr. Ed. M'Pherson Clerk.
Unlock the Rock*.— The great cost of
silver and gold arises not so much from
their scarcity in the earth, as the difficul
ty of extracting them from their stony
combinations. Dr. J. C. Aver, the well
known chemist of Massachusetts, has
cut this gordiau knot. Al'ier having mer- j
ited and received the gratitude of half:
mankind, by his remedies that cure their
diseases, he is now winning the other half
by opening for them an easy road to the
exliaustless treasures of the hills. He has
discovered and published a chemical pro
cess, which renders at little cost, the hard- j
est rocks and ores friable like chalk, so !
that the precious metals are loosed from j
their confinement, and easily gathered.
Mines too poor to pay, may be worked at !
a profit now, and the yield of rich mines
is largely increased, while the cost of ex- j
tracting the metals from the ore, isdimin- I
ished. Either is a great achievement, to
enrich mankind, or cure their diseases.
But we are informed our celebrated coun- '
try man adheres to the latter, as hisspeci- j
ality and chief ambition.—[Buffalo Sen- !

Important Improvement*. —The Penn
sylvania Bail road Company have been i
tor a considerable time engaged in eon
structiug a wall of solid masonry in Jack's j
Narrows, about a mile above this place, ;
to accommodate a double track. This is j
perhaps one of the most difficult points j
on the road for the construction of an a< -
ditionul track, the rugged, almost perpei -
dicular, ascent of the mountain on the I
right making it absolutely impossible to j
lay a track on that side, while the canal
hugs the present track closely on the left, i
and the river beiug in close proximity to
the canal. The Company were therefore
compelled to build a wall into the canal
for the new track, and on this work from
30 to 35 men have been constantly em
ployed for two and a half or three years
past. The wall is 3400 feet in length
(almost three-quarters of a mile) 20 to 2-5
high, and 0 feet thick; making about half
a million cubic feet. The work is now
approaching completion, and it is exact
ed that a double track will be laid within
the present year. The work has been un
der the supervision of Mr. Paul Smith as
chief engineer, and reflects much credit
on his ability in that capacity.— Mount

FRIENDS EDITORS: A writer in the
Gazette who signs himself a Farmer, has
called the attention of the citizens of the
Valley to the great importance of a Rail
road from Reedsville to Millereek, a dis
-1 tance of only 24 miles. Now at the rate
it cost to make the Railroad Irom Lewis
town to Reedsville it would only cost
some SBOO,OOO to construct a road through
the valley from Reedsville to Millereek,
and what would the expenditure ofSvSOO,-
000 be to the great people o£our great val
ley ? Be sure they would rather travel in
mud hub deep than to have anything to
do with so trifling a thing as a Turnpike.
What they go in for, is a Railroad.
The writer says it would pay better than
Oil Stock, but we can assure the writer
that oil stock paid well to the Managers,
and a Railroad project may pay as well,
if managed by men in whom the people
have always had confidence. Let an El
der of a Church contrive the plot, another
Elder of the Church engineer it through.
When .you take subscriptions, if the sub
scriber has not got the ready to plank
down, take a negotiable note, and be sure
to sell it forthwith ; do not let it get warm
in your hands, for that would be danger
ous.
In this way a Railroad project through
the valley might be made to be profitable,
at least to those in the inside ring. So,
hurrah for the Big Valley Railroad ! Look
out for the locomotive Toot, toot, toot.
ANOTHER FARMER.
For the Gazette.
SHIRLEY, February 28, 1867.
Messrs. Editors—But a few days ago,
whilst in McVeytown, I was invited by a
friend to visit Gen. Ross' iron ore bank,
and was astounded at theexhaustlessness
of that rieii body of ore, so recently de
veloped and now rendered certain by the
<leneral's indefatigableseaivh thro' shafts,
feelers, fee. It is believed by men of
judgment that this is one of the most
valuable bodies of ore in the State. The
bank is about three-fourths of a mile from
tiie Pennsylvania Canal at McVeytown,
with a gentle slope for road the whole dis
tance. The body of ore is so extensive,
and so free from clay and foreign substan
ces, that a miner can raise from eight to
ten tons per day, and that so clean as to
supercede the necessity of washing; and
can therefore be mined and delivered on
the bank of the canal at McVeytown for
one dollar and ten cents or less per ton,
with good profit to the miner.
The ore is by convention called Hema
tite, a generic term too indefinite for prac
tical use, but doubtless the practitioner
would pronounce it very rich. It is very
heavy, and in divers forms, such as skulls,
eups, tfce., and when broken presents a
very rich nietalie appearance.
Now is there not one amongst the thou
sands of our enterprising countrymen who
will stop for a moment to visit this rich
and inexhaustible field of iron, surround
ed as it is with sueli vast agricultural
wealth, and decide for himself whether
iron can not he manufactured cheaper at
McVeytow n than at any other place in
the State? The greatest benefactors of
our race are, first, those successful labor
ers for the development of the intellectual
and moral powers of the human mind.
Next are those who employ all their pow
ers of body and mind to bring to the sur
face those hidden treasures in the form of
iron and coal which lay concealed from
human view for countless ages, locked up
for our benefit, and which are now almost
cropping up and inviting u> to lay hands
upon them. Unanticipated demands for
iron are just as certain as that we are to
remain a prosperous and happy nation.
Our sources of lumber are so rapidly di
minishing that it is difficult to conceive
how or where the supply will come from
in a few years. Its use must soOn dimin
ish, and its place to a great extent be sup
plied with iron ; and the time is not very
distant when, from necessity, farms must
he fenced and dwelling houses built with
iron. And hence, we honestly believe
that the safest investment which can now
he made, either of money or labor, is in
the iron business, and that the sooner it
is done the better.
The sluggard never hitched the light
ning to the car and bid it waft you hun
dreds of miles, while you took a gentle j
nap under Morphia's soothing wand. He
never made a pathway through the bo- I
so ill of the Atlantic ocean, and hid the
obedient electric fluid carry dispatches
from our Government to all the courts of
Europe, and return their answers in a few
moments. He will never unite the At
lantic and Pacific oceans with bands of
iron, unbroken by the Allegheny or
Rocky mountains. But he will go down
to an* tinlionored grave, while the works
of the wise and enterprising will speak of
them long after theyare sleeping in the dust
Let practical men call and examine the
field of iron opening up by Gen Itoss, and
if they do, we are greatly in error if Mc-
Veytown does not soon become the thea
tre of active life, where iron may be man
ufactured cheaper than any other place in
Pennsylvania.
A FRIEND OF INDT*STRY.
For the Gazette.
MESSRS. EDITORS. —I noticed in the
Gazette, a few weeks ago, that some cor
respondent asked the question. "If it was
lawful and right for any one man to hold
more than one office of profit or trust at
the same time," and also speaks of modest
men freeing themselves from one office
as soon as elected to another. Now I
think that justice and right demand that
no one man should hold more than one
office at the same time. As to "modes
ty," I think it is too often left out of the
question. Wishing to be loyal and true,
and "subject to the power's that be," 1
suppose there will IK; no harm in speak
ing of things as they occur around us, as
there seems to be u strong undue desire
by some to gather up all the crumbs that
fall from Uncle Sam's table Itisknown
that Assessors, as sworn otlicers, are re
quested on their returns, to name two
responsible men, one of which the law
requires the ( ounty Commissioners to
appoint as Collector of each borough or
township. When an Assessor is so im
modest as to return himself as Collector,
ought the Commissioners to appoint him?
They have done it in Oliver. He may
make a good enough Collector, but would
not the bag have been quite as safe in the
hands of one not quite so anxious? In
some of the adjoining townships the As
sessors returned men as was their duty to
do, but the Commissioners passed over
them and appointed other men, we are
told, that suited their political strii>e bet
ter. Is this true democracy? We are
also informed that one of our Associate
Judges is acting as Township Auditor,
and, also, as School Director. Now I
honestly think that a Judge of a Court
ought to be free from all other offices, so
that in the event of officers not being
faithful, ami should have to be returned
to Court the Judges ought not to be a party.
Strange that some men think themselves
the only fit persons to hold offices. That
School Board appears so one-sided, that
they accepted only such Teachers as were
of their own political stripe, save one,
and he because of his being a relative of
one of the Directors. We are also in
formed that one of the Teachers employed
by this Board to be so imperfect in arith
metic as to be unable to teach at least one
of his scholars. We are also informed by
a citizen ot this same township, that he
had a teacher in view for his school with,
as he said, the best certificate in the town
ship, but the school was given to another.
Strange democracy, this.

instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more perfect, although we are slow
to admit thai the limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say tnat the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent- Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto "Excelsior." nov!4-ly
Sudden Detth —We clip the follow ng from the Pitts
burg Gazette. It is a very singular truly, but it
does not seem to be well "authenticated : " A German,
named Andrew Nolle, of Columbus, met with his death
in a most remarkable manner a lew days ago. He
had long been known to be a very intemperate man.
being beastly drunk nearly all liis lime. Early on
Friday mornmga slight smoke was seen issuing from
his liquor shop. The shop was entered by some citi
zens and Nolte found lying dead behind the counter,
with his lips entirely burnt away, leaving a ghastly
hole, in which his tongue was seen burnt to a crisp,
as was the m-ide of his trvsith and throat. His nose
also was burned as if by fire coining ontof his nos
trils. There was no tire in the room, except his burn
ing clothes. A physician made an examination of
the l.ody. and it was decided that Nolte came to his
death by spontaneous combustion or by the burning of
inflammable gases generated in the whisky-rotted
carcass, and escaping by the air passages. This might
have been caused by an attempt to light a cigar with
a match or other flattie."
