process. W. W. Welkcs, president of the
company, reports that "on tho 21st ult.,
the pig metal with tho ore was put in the
puddling furnaces. Tho latter being new
and not having the right kind of cinders, it
was not expected that tho results of the
first heat would be satisfactory. But con
trary to expectations, tho ball, when .put
under tho hammer, indicated that the oper
ation was a success. The bloom was re
heated and rolled into bar steel of a good
quality."
Narrow Escape. Tho Franklin fifposi
tory says, Capt. Calvin Gilbert, of this place
mad'o a miraculous escape on Saturday
afternoon last. While engaged in adjusting
a belt in his machine shop, on West Mar
ket street, his left foot was caught in tho
belting and drawn to tho ceiling, bis body
hanging down, the belting binding his leg
tight to tho shafting. In this position he
was whirled around some dozen times, but
had presence of mind enough, as he "swung
around the circle," to throw his head and
body out to prevent thein from coming in
contact with the joists above and somo ad
jacent pulleys on tho shafting, and thus
saved his life. As soon as bis critical situ
ation was discovered tho engine was stop
ped and tho Captain relieved by cutting
tho bolting. On examination it was found
that his leg was very much bruised but no
bones broken, lie is now doing well and
will bo about again in a few days.

Whole 'XV 0 1- a .
By constant endeavors, we have avoided all th
old ruts and antiquated methods of the trade,
until now OAK HALL is universally ac
knowledged to be
AN EXCEPTION.
THE REASONS ARK :
1. We have built a house for our business, ooi
eriug nearly half au acre.
2. Instead of wedging It in between other build
ings, making It dark, aud obscuring the goods, it
is built 011 the corner of three streets, and any one
may count in it 51 windows.
3. We employ skilled Workmen, One Hundred
and Fifty ot whom may be seen under our roof by
any one having the time and curiosity to visit our
Establishment, and besides these, 1400 to 1800 sew-.
ers are employed at their own homes.
4. We make no imperfect goods.
6. We thoroughly sponge and shrink ALL our
goods.
6. We purchase onr goods at first hands, In
large lots sometimes In bills of over Sliw.ouo at
one time.
We set our faces against every species of unfair
dealing, and will dismiss any employee in any way
guilty of it.
8. We have such enormous sales that we are con
tent with a prollt far below the trade margin.
9. We warrant all our goods, and will give every
possible guarantee to purchasers at
OAK HALL.
The above are facts that ne one can truthfully
dispute, as tho examination we sq cordially In
vite, will fully prove.
We ask the encouragement and support of all
classes of pooplc, feeling sure that In establishing
