The following article, which was written
by • i correspondent Of the ,Philp. twining ,

Gdifornia exceeds the demand, and that the
farms, mines and workshope of Pennsyl
vania are better places for our workingmen
than the "Land of floid," at the present
time. If man in Perks coty is willing
to work us hard, end live as f r4gally, as he
is obliged to do in 'any new country, ho can
accumulate much
. more money, , And enjoy
much more comfort and much better health,
by staying at bolos, than'hy Ong to some

can be produced from inferior brands of pig
iron, abounding in phosphohni and sulphur,
