The mine is lands belonging to DICKINSON & BALDWIN. The ,nearest point to a railroad is at Wellsburg. The vein fissure is seven feet wide. The-side lying beside the wall_ rock varies from two to eighteen inches in thickness. The discoverer has run two tunnels into -the vein,,one of a . hundred and twenty and another of seventy feet. A shaft has been run down twenty-five or thirty feet. Dur ing the prospecting twenty odd tons ;of ore have been taken out. The ore tun's out pretty rich under analyiis—about sev enty per emit. Major MCDOWELL has taken specimens to the Smelting Works at Bethlehem, Pa., where it is pronounc ed paying ore. A zinc mine is very valu able, as the metal, has not been found to exist in surplus quantitier It is propos ed to form a company to work this mine. A specimen of the' rock lying before us seems to be well charged with the metal.

'limn WlLSON'iklarge family to make him a surprise visit on his' eighty-second birthday--4he 20th day of January—but it so happened that the Colonel's wife on that day was very sick with pneumonia, and the arrangements were postponed to February 4th. On that day the - Colonel, as usual, repaired to his office at the depot to attend to his daily vocation, and his hey (having near ly recovered from her illness) rode out to one of the neighbors. At about 12 o'clock they were sent for by a boy, who told them that a man and lady from Williams.' port were at 'their hOuse and wanted to see them. They repaired to their home, and were surprised to find all the doors open, having left them locked. Oa enter ing the house they found every room filled with men, women and children, std a large table on tiro sides of the kitchen loaded with the good things of life, and smiling faces on every side.. The Colonel called up the boy and chided him thus : ? "1 ou young rascal you told me there was a man from Williamsport wanted to eei) me." 'The boy then turned to one side of. the room and introduced the Col onel to Mr. Prrga MIMIC, saying, "lie wants to see you." Mr. Ammo replied, "Yes," (with a hearty atutkri of the hand) "I came on purpose." Then two little granddaughters of the Colonel presented him with a iery nice cushioned arm chair , which they had managed to pat . etuue,,,i : " as a token of ,their love and re speet 'm their grandpa." The Colonel replied that he would receive it as such,, but observed that he "did not like the looks of it, foi it seemed as though it was Making too early preparation, for Maze:" At this point the bell rang' for the, table, and, being seated and counted, it was found that tifty-two wets. at the tnble, itA „bedattlib thit!Xolonalls ba with dly. • the iiidit e hei . .ihe Rev.l B. irigt‘l* 'lid ' Si* Aftir Omer • the imitralttheular**l.lklng *OVA The vommei armed that air nen Mime ride on horaehaelg; soleWeit totbe barn andiiddbeii i coit which had welter been saddled or bridled before, and role it: all about town !

In making this demand we are aware of the utter disiegard that has been evinced heretofore by our law-making-bodies in reference to this subject, that some means be devised by action as citizens outside of the Grange • 'to convince our legislators that wo are in earnest upon this question. - Reaolved, That as the question of rail road management is now before Congress, we ' feel bound to request our immediate Representative in that body to use hie in fluence and his vote in asserting the fall control of Congress over inter-State com merce add the subordination of the great lines of railroad with their immense capi tal to the public welfare, so far as to pre vent unjust discrimination in their charg es, rebutting in oppression on the one hand and favoritism on the other. ' • Reiotred, That we'call upon ourleading public educators to give their attention to the practicability of . introducing into our - common schools an elementary text book on agricultural chemistry, and we resectfully ask our efficient - County Su perintendent of Commix Schools to give to the public his opinion in regard to this matter through the public press, if he is prepared to do so. Committee to draft'a meinorial of our late biothers—DeLong and -Vaullorn— report : • Brother E. R. DeLong, for many years Master of Oscaluwa Grange, also Master of the.

Resolved, That the minutes- of these proceedings be entered upon the. Journal of the Pomona Grange, and a copy fur nished to the bereaved widow, the only surviving member of his household. Brother Lester G. VaaHora, a member ,of Troy Grange, whose sudden death we all slbeerely mourn, was a representative fanner and most estimable Citizen of thiii county. Brother Van Horn ,w i as elected Oterseer 9f this .Grange at its last meet ing. In his death the Grange has lost one of its most valuable members.
