entirely of iron, and constructed upon purely sci

Ira:Holmes of New York State, and is Called the

The're is a double row of slim icon spokes with
counter sunk' heads, diverging alternately from,
the outer and inner rim of the butt', to the felloe,
where they are also counter-sunk and effectually.

and throwing as much of the weight of the cat

Very.ilight wheel thus constructed is capable of
treating is irinnense, if we may, credit the calcula
tions of Professor Comstock. It has an exceeZ
ingly light and graceful appearance, is not liable
to get out of order, and can be purchased at about
ball the cost of the ordinary wooden wheel.
, GALVANIZED TINNED. IRON.—In the
year 1844 the process .of galvanizing iron was
perfected. =No change in the principle has been
adopted since that period. though by practice, the
manipulators and the machinery are considerably
improved. It was at one time considered - that
the gelvantzing,ttfiron made it brittle, but it is no
longer so, in consequence• o the improvements
'made in 1844. The iron plates thus prepared at
:the factory of an eminent house in :N. York have
been successfully used in roofing the Meichants'
Exchanke, the Boston 'Exchange; the' Franklin
•House, tfie Neal York Poet Office, and Stewart's
marble storein Broadway. About sever hundred
other buildince have been covered with these
plates. In all these instances it has been found
that they remain in as good condition' as when
first laid on, are bright, sound, uncorroded and
•tight. The time-leis easy wotke•; from its mat.
leabdity, and the quality of the iron is much im
proved by the process. Wo recommend it to our

MINERSVILLE AFFAIRS
From our Regular Correspondent
I=
The exactions of business have prevented roe for two
or three weeks past, from giving any attention to,the ex
amination of colleries in this vicinage; and, Consequently,
tny articles upon the Coal Region" have been deferred.
On Thursday, last, however, I,managed 'to appropriate a
portiod'of the day to a visit to Llewellyn. , The same in•
structive spectacle of enterprise, industry and prosperity.
so gratifying to behold, presented in other portions of the
Schuylkill region, is conspicuously exhibited in that place.
The Coal Itegien has become tho centre of a vast busi
ness, 'Which may be said to have vivified the whole of the
con, try. The wildest wastes are converted into theatres
- of active' life ; towns spring up and grow into importance,
in a few months; stupendoui improvements. requiring
immense expenditures - of capital, are commenced and

and funabbed a new bond of fraternity to the tv,hele

murk I sub ject myself to the hazard of sarcasm, from su
perficial obcervers, who, lookiwnly-m - the-distance - be-
Iween the two places, are nv'prone to imagine that the
prosperity of the collieries of the Schuylkill Valley, and
that of the manufactories of LoWell, are very intimately
corm; cted. Nevertheless his so, as I conceive; and 1 al
moFt regret that the nature And limits of these articles are
adverse to an attempt to show that connexion.
• Theie are one or two facts, which. although perhaps
generally knotn, it may not be incongruous to notice be
fore passing tce my legitimate subject; inasmuch as; by
remembering when and how the coal trade began, we
are better able to appreciate ifs astonishing increase and
unestimated importance:
Coal was known to abound in this region certainly as
early WO
,1790, perhaps earlier. The mince of Mauch
Chunk, in what is now Carbon County, were partially
opened prior to the year 1E90; the coal however was not
esteemed as of much importance, and was only used to a
limited extent, by soma neighboring blacksmiths, During
the war of 1812: many intelligent individuals became con
vinced of the value of anthracite coal ; among the number
were Mr. Charli4s Minor of WilkeSbarrel and Col. George
Shoemaker of Pottsville; both, of whom made serious,
but unsuccessful attemps - to introduce it into thetuarket.
Subsequently, it does not appear that any. .considerable
quantity was sent to market either by the Schuylkill or
Lehigh, till the year 18W, when_the Lehigh Company
conveyed 365 tons to iihiladelpititi. This may be comi
dered, therefore, as the cmninencoarnt of the trade. Its
progress sinc • rnay be panty judged by the published
weekly reports of the different transportation Companies,.
by whose routes the coal is conveyed to l'hiladelphia'for
distribution along the Atlantic ;. and partly by the changes
which have taken place in the Coal Region ; which has
now become the abode of a numeroaa and died popula
tion of industrious men ;enjoying all the appliances of
relined life, and a multitude of iinprovemeMts in railroads.
canals, and other publrc works, in labor:Savinimachinery
and mechanical contrivances, of which the most advanced
people in America, or even lu Europe, might 'be proud..

the proprietors of the Llewellyn Collieries, may feel as
sured that lie has a . good urticle, and the very best of

he,-'this village, under the auspices of the Little
Schuylkill Naviption eirropany, fell with, its fur.
tunes, Some years ago. Within a year or two a
man of 'great publiCeirterprize purchased the loans
and stocks held by the U. S. Bank, and has, with
his associates. put.in notion a system of improve
ments that hid fair to realize a profit of half a mil
lion of dollars or more. The Railroad is comple
ted from Port Clinton, 20 miles; passenger and
burden cars are , running; twenty or thirty .coal
veins opened ; a very large Hotel has been put
up,. in the newest style, kept by Mr. Haughawout,
a prince of landlords, where the traveller can re
alize the comforts and fare of the best kept house
in Schuylkill county. The 'arrangements for
mining coal are progressing to such an extent
that ihis.one of the richestend densest coal deposits
in the county, will tell a tale that cannot' be beat
in a year or two." We are glad to record this,
a 'ample of the general prospAity existing

went into it, with a loaded gun. Ho watched

passed further. on, endeavoring to effect an en

ADVICE TO THE AFFLICTED.—When we reflect that
most of the cases of Coniumption terminating fatally,
have had their origin in neglected colds, it is astonishing
to witness the apathy displayed by those laboring un
der them. Although they may be repeatedly warned
by their niedicalltiends to guard - against the effects of
sudden changes of weather, which, by Checking the in
sensible mirspiratiOn, occasions roughs, colds, &e.,
their admonitions are often unheeded. , The unfortu
nate subject perceiving no bad effect arising front the
slight cold, as he termed it, is lulled into false security
by the vain hope that a return of pleasant weather will
remove all unpleasant symptoths. But so far from being
removed, the syinptoms are generally aggravated. He
looks Qoand hint for that relief which Might easily have
been obtainedatan earlier period. But, atagi he is told
by Mu physician there is no hope for him. To whom
then must he look' fur aid 1 The newspapers teem with
advertisements of infallible remedies, with oftentimes
false certificates, assuming the name of a respectable

Dear Sir, , —lraving experienced great benefit from
your invaluable medicine, I feel it my duty and privt ,
lege to let the - world know whit it has done for me.—
Possessed of a strong constitintmi naturally, I had en
joyed. perfect health previous to the spring of 1813.
when I was troubled with a difficulty in my left side.
attended with considerable pain. Sometime in Juts I
was violently attacked witty a cough, which rantinned
until fall, then Ultras coohneitterthe house eight months,
during which time iny cough was very severe. I fre
quently had spells of coughing which lasted two hours;
daily raised large quantities of dissagreeahle matter, ac
companied with blood. - Sometimes I raiseda'quart of
blood at a time. . I. consulted three physicians, all of
whom did their best to 'restore me ; 'have me up; said
!trey could do no mare forme; I most die; it was im
possible for me to live but a short time. One of them
said my rungs were gone. At this critical ,mninent,
when eminent physicians had extraysted their skill,
'friends despaired my life, my own hope of recovery .at
an end. I resorted to Dr. Wistar* .1 Balsam of Wild Cher
ry. When I had taken one pad a halfhottres those se
vere spells °reopening were rewmred. ". I continued
taking the Balsam until spring, 1814, wh'in I ceased to
bleed,at the lungs, my health and strength improved so
that 1 left the house, but was not able to work for a
year. Now my healtirds good, tamable to do a day's
