Away back in the flrnt third of the cen tury, fifty year* ago, the attention of capi talist* and iron master* was attracted to tho fine ore* of Nittany Valley, In what uro now Marion and Walker townships, and in 1830 the water power furninhed by Lick Kun, cutting through the Raid Kagle Mountain at Hoy' Gap and emptying into Bald Kagle Creek jut Imjlow the borough of Howard, wa* utilized by tho erection of a furnace for the pur|M>ii of putting them j into marketable condition. During a large j part of the half century which will close j witli 1880, Howard furnace *> ona of the ; many wlwwi lire* lighted the Bald Kagle Valley from Tyrone to Lock Haven, and i of them all it ia the only one now in opera- ; lion, witli the exception of Curtin's. How many thousand* of ton* of the iwful metal tho valley has in thi* time furnished to the industries of the world |>crbapt no man j can tell, but it i* certain that of it ail none wa# of better quality than that sent from Howard. A complete history of the fur- I mice would require mora time and space than we can now devote to it, but we give a synopsis of the change* in it* manage mcnt which will be <>f interest to our reader*: It wa* built in Im,!0 by Harris, Thomas A Co., and operated by them until 1833 or 1831, when tho firm name wa changed to Harris, Itnhrcr A Co., followed shortly by Harris, Lex A Co;, until in IM7 tho firm name became Valentine*, Harris A Co. During these year#, and until Ih|<j, tho active manager on thu ground wa* Joseph Harri*. In 1942 Jacob V. Thoma* A Co. became the leasee*, and it wa* ope rated under their management until 184 m, when it wa purchased by lrvin, Thomas A Co., who remained in power until lfifil. After a period of throe year* of idleness it wa sohl in 1801 to Griicom, Bright A Co., who sold to Henry llill, arid lie wai in time succeeded ly Lauth, Thoma# A Co., who operat*<d it from Im*3 until the begin ning of the current year, when it came into the possession of the present proprie tor, Bernard Lauth. A# an interesting instanco of the tenacity with which families cling to localities, we may state here that among those who help ed in the erection of the furnace was John Harmon, who hsuled the first slick of tim ber for the building, and that !><rn that time to the present member* of hi* family have been constantly employed about the work*—at least six of the name being in the service of the present proprietor. While it is true that the greater number of the administrations whirh have held sway over tho pa*l of Howard Furnace have been characicrisw-d by great ability, energy and economy, and that th>-c have bad their just reward, there i* no doubt that it* immediate future will be marked by a greatly increased activity. In falling into tho hand* of Mr. Lauth, it ha* become the possession of a man of great resource* of experience, energy and genius, backed by capital iufilcienl to meet every jeauible demand, and all the** are now being brought to bear to makn of it one of the finest iron establishment* in the country. The pig metal is technically known a* cold blast charcoal iron, and it* superior quality ha* always commanded for it a ready and remunerative market; but not content with this, and knowing the value of hi* metal, Mr. Lauth ha* determined to carry it* manufacture several degree* further, mul tiplying it* value many time* before it leave* hi* hand*. For thi* purpose great improvement* have been planned and are now in progress. First among those may lie noted tho placing of large and substan tial iron blast cylinder* at tho furnace proper, the effect of which will be a large ly increasi-d production of pig metal. Near thi* a cupalo and foundry are being erected In which to re-melt and ca*t th* metal into all the form* of cast iron, for the finishing and fitting of which a mschino shop, with all the modern improvements, cutler*, : planer#, Ac., is being built near the old rolling mill. Indeed some of these ma- ! chine* are now running under the old roof, j At thi* part of the work* are W> be erected a *erie* of forge fires, for the conversion of | a portion of the products of the furnace into blooms and slab*. To aid in thi* work, one of the finest steam hammer* made In thi* country, of four thousand pound* weight, made by Bornent A Son of Philadelphia, ha* been purchased, and will soon he in position. For the rtill further increase of the value of the iron made at these works, Mr. Lauth h* in contempla tion the erection of a wire mill, of entirely new design, of bi* own invention; and which will b a* much of an improvement upon the ordinary wire mill* of the day, a* hi* great hoop mill, of which we will speak more tn detail at another place, it upon the old tylc. * " While thu* making improvement* and addition* at the work* proper, Mr. l#anth is also giving a large share of attention tn the foundation of them ait, namely, hi* ore bank*. The one locally known a* the "Bench Creek" and which ha* heretofore been leaned by those who have operated Howard, ba* been purchased, and i* being fitted with engine and machinery for wash ing, water for which I* to be provided by the boring of an artesian well. A well of the satnw kind <• also to be put down at the Ilublernburg bank. All of these improvement* are now in progress; some of them will be completed within a few weeks, and before mid sum mer has reached us probably nil will be in operation. A paragraph or two as to the prrhtmntl of tlio present management of the work* may not bo Inappropriate: Mr. Bernard Lauth, tlie presiding genius, I* h gonial, hearty gontleman of Franco-German birth, (born near Htra*burg in 1820, and loft there for America In 1881), yet on the iuntiy tide of sixty, who, notwithstanding disadvantage* In early life, ha* achieved fame and acquired fortune, by the exercise of hi* own inventive geriiu*, energy and business integrity. When, just two year* following the date of the erection of the work* of which ho i* now the owner, be 1 entered the rolling rui!l of Hhoenberger at Pittsburg, to pull up the furnace door* for the heater* at the nominal wage* of one dollar |er week, he probably expected, if, indeed, he thought at all upon the subject, to *pend hi* day* a* a laborer. To-day, with the 60th milestone of hi* year* yet In advance of him he I* known over the iron-making world a* au inventor who ha*, by the exercise of hi* unaided geniu, added million* to the value of j the world'* iron product*, inscribed hi# t name high upon the roll of Id* adopted country'* mot u*eful citizen*, and acquired J for himself a poailion quite equal to any demand likely to be rnude ujw.n it by hi* family, or hi* large business interest*. From thi* small starling | nnt Mr. Lauth I made ra|iid atride* in the n.ac facture of iron, and fr-m that time to thi. ha* made | it the business of hi* life. Wluie be wa> yet a boy, but *evontocn year* of age, he had charge of the roll* in one of the large;! ' mill* of Pittsburg, arid wo# ekrning from fifteen to twenty dollar* per day, and when but twenty.reven jcar* oid commenced buaine** fur himseil a* au iron niartor, at ' Zan-vill, Ohio, with mean* u-cuinuialiii from hi* own earning*. In IH'i'i he cane bu< k to i'ituliurg, built the great American Ir->n Work* tb-rc, *f tcrward* took M< . ri. Jones and Laugh lin* into partnership with hitn, and in 1811" told hi* internet to them bc<-au*c iii# invention* ware demanding hi* attention abroad. After to roe year* #p#nt in Ku roje. Mr. Lauth returned and ttlld at Heading, where he built a rolling mill in which he rtill own* an interott, and in 187 V formed the company known a Lauth, Thoma* A Co , purchased Howard furnace and removed to hi* present residence there. Mr. Lauth ha* given to the world no lew than four ini|>o; tatit invention* in the working of Iron, vie: Cold rolled shaft ing, a rtraighlcning machine, the three high plate roll*, and hi* wire hoop mill. Of theee perhaps the flrt outrank* the other* in importance. Not only all the khafting of the country i made under Vhit patent, but it i applied to almo*t all kind* of rolled iron, including even the finger bar* of mower* and reaper*, all of which are made by thi* proce**. The hoop mill, which i* the last product of Mr. Lauth'* fertile brain, ha* already worked a com plete revolution In the manufacture of hoof*, which will be the better appreciated when we *tate that it will without the aid of any 'killed labor whatever, and with no attendance, excepting that required to feed it with the healed bar*, make hoop* eventy feet long, and at the rale of from •ixteen to twenty per minute. Although thi* invention of Mr. I-auth* it but a year or two old, it* fame 1* fat becoming world wide. One half the patent hat been pur- | rhaned by the Bethlehem Iron Company, who are running the eecond machine built under St. One ha* already been shipped to I'ru**ia, and other* are in course of erection to follow. Of course Mr. Lauth could not attend in parson to all the detail* of hi* butinco*, and i* fortunate in having able lieutenant* to second him. Hi* *on, John N. Lauth, who inherit* bi* father'* buaine** energy and enterprie, i* recognized a* general manager. A son-in-law, Mr. Wil liam Wiihclin, look* after the rolling mill and it* appurtenance*, and another son-in law, J. A. Comerford, K*q , ba*, since the dissolution of the firm of Lauth, Thoma* A Co. rendered it neconaary, abandoned the practice of law in the far Wed, and a *umed the *uperintendence of the mercan tile part of the establishment. Thus, it will be seen, a new era ha* been marked in the life of Howard Iron Work*, and with the prospective revival of the iron trade, which room* kui to come, we predict for it a brilliant and prosperous future. —An appropriate address signed by I).

THE HERMOX OP BISHOP HOWE.—On the occasion of the visit of the Kt. lie v. Or. Howe, Bishop of thia <li'c<s*, to the pariah in thU piece last Friday evening, ho delivered a very instructive discourse. Ilia text wu taken from Hi. Luke K: 14, containing the account of the seed which 4 fell among thorna. Perhaps the parable of which thia forma a part waa given an much for the encouragement of those who viw the word aa for any other purpoae. Much preaching i done and apjwrently such small result* follow, yet earnest preach ing ia never done in vain. In the instance given it Is certainly the word that ia aoWti, and yet in three of the four instance* the remit* are alrrioat failure*. The apodal in- ** stance which forrna our text ia the aeed which fell among thorna. The thorna are doacribed aa, first, the caret of thia life. It is right that we ahould give propar care to the thinga of time, but should not suffer them to occupy our entire attention. We ahould be the judge* of these rnattera and society ha* no right to dictate to ua. How many caret ha* the ceaaeluas devotee of faabion, or aho who night after night ia accutturned to charm and fascinate by her intense effort* Us please; and all thia bril liancy, if it ha* no higher motive, ia watted. Much of our care arise* from the duitru*t of our ability to succeed in the future, thin intruding on the special prov ince of Gid. The second thorn mention- ei ia the rirhet of thia life. An *|>ottle term* it the " deceitfulne** of richet." Riches are dangerous, not only to him who covet*, but aim to the |**te*tor. They are deceitful, because what we imagine will *aU*fy ua doet not, and the pica*ure* .• procure d<> not delight ua at wo thought they would. The laxt thorn mentioned i* the plemmret of thia life. It Menu a strange ti-rni to give to ph-a*ure, and yet it it most appropriate. There are plea sure* that nfford ui rapturous delight, which, because of the peculiar constitution f rn*n, mult prove to be thorna.
