AMEIIICA RUSSIA SHEET 11101 , :.—FI1)111 the Conshohocken Recorder we extract the following in reference to the manufacture of Russia sheet iron In this country:—'' Mr. John Wood Is prob ably the first person in this country who conceived the Idea of producing nu Iron to compete with the genuine Rusela, and experimented upon It for sev cral• years *with :varied success, but finally bat ceeded In bringing it to a degree of excellence much superior In finish to the Imported article,. being much smoother nud entirely devoid of that mottled surface which Russia sheet iron Invari ably presents. The result was arrived at In 1849, and patented by Mr. Wood the same year. he be ing at the same time a member of the firm' of James Wood & Bons. Various Improvements have been made since, from time 10 thuo,which also have been patented. "Owing to the increased demand, Messrs. J.

THE CENSCS' OF UPPER MILFOIIII.—ASher Fatzinger, Census Marshal, has completed his work in Upper Milford, and reports as follows: Total number of inhabitants, 2,000, which is a decrease of twenty from 1060. This reduction our Marshal attributes to the stoppage of work at SlgmmulFurnace, which Is undatibtedl) the cause. The oldest inhabitant In the township Is eighty eight years of age. The mortality lit the mist year was 20; 16 females and:lo males, being three-fifth females. Three among the totarnum ker of Inhabitants were insane, and among the illustrious names In the township he reports two children, one named McClellan , and one Grant.

TIIC Preparatory meeting of the Montgomery County Donecracy was held on Wednesday at Norristou n. The resolutions adopted are of the same purport as LIIOSC passed by the Lehigh Co. Whig, with the exception that nothing Is said about frauds and the reduction of the National Debt, and they are milder in tone. It is evident that the framers of these resolutions have taken care not to disgust, their followers, the Demoentcy of Montgoinery being possessed of common set:sc:m(l ordinary in telligence. The last resolution approves of the course of Hon. John D. Stiles and of their representatives In Ow Legislature. It was resolved that the County Convention be held at Norristown on the fdli-of September. A. J. Anderson, of Norristown, R. IL Losgaher, of Pottstown, and George W.

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 24, 1870. IMPORTANT EKPERIMENT.—The Norristown Herota says:—The circumstances of the suffoca tion of Green, In Landes it Windle's Manure pit, are Still fresh In the memory of our readers. There ha. been Mink fu the minds of some of our citizens a 4 to whether or not Mr. Green died from the of of ammoni teal gas. notwithstanding sorb WIIQ the opinion of the esninining physician given a few minute, after the dece:om G.

Green, and In less than one minute and a half he fell, heing suflimatea by the gas. He was then taken out, resuscitated, and placed again In the pit, when death resulted In about three minutes. Thln experiment would seem to be conclusive proof, If any was needed, that Mr. Green (Ilea from suffo cation alone. TUE FALSE REPORT OF YELLOW FEVER.— Roth the Mayor of the city and the Board of Health, says the Philadelphia Ledger, have found It necessary to give official denial to the scanda lous and wicked report sent out from this city, (musing people abroad to suppose that Philadel phia is infected with the yellow fever. Norfolk has taken measures to place all Philadelphia ves sels In quarantlac ; the Mayor of Wihnington, North Carolina, telegraphed Mayor Fox on the same subject yesterday, and some of our merchants Ilnd difficulties In forwarding goods which are all ready to ship, bat which they have to delay on account of this unfounded sad wanton report about the yellow fever. To all our contempora ries, North and South, we repeat what wins said in these columns several days ago, that there Is no yellow fever hi this city, and we earnestly urge them to slat, this fart to the people In their several communities. They will that official vouchers for this statement In our news columns, over the sigaatures of the Mayor of the City, and the President of the Board of Health. The only foundatlim for the false statement which has alarmed the authorities of other cities, was the fact that a West Indian brig, infected by yellow fever, arrived at the Quarantine Station, ten miles below this city, in June last, as vessels r do every summer it the Quarantine Stations of all com mercial cities. and that several persons at the Quarantine Station were taken with tile fever and unfortunately died. But that Station is not in Philadelphia, any more than Sandy Book is in New York. TOE BOYERTOWN INFANTICIDE —TRIAL OF CATILMINI: HUMMEL—TiIe trial of the girl Cath arine Hummel, for the twirler of the Infant child of William Ludy, near Boyettown, on the 20th of June last, commenced in the Court - of Oyer and Terminer for Berks county, yesterday, before Judge flagellum and his Assoelates,Judges Kess ler and Rhoads. The Times says,—The girl Catharine llumtnel was 11 years of age on the 25th of April. She was employed In the faintly of Mr. Ludy no child's nurse in the month of March last. Mr. Ludy lon firmer occupying a small place on the line of the Colehrookdale railroad, near ironstone otittione anal about ono miles from Itoyerlown, us the tenant of his father-In-law, r. Frederick Neiman. The house Is within fl fly yards of the railroad track, which it overlooks. .1 watch box, in which a watchman Is employed, is located beside the rail road, immediately in front of Mr. Ludy's horse. 811,125 02 2,410 05 The child kiilcd was named Reuben Francis Ludy, and was twenty-three months old. The person , charged with the murder is a light, light complexioned girl, of rather small size for her age, has light brown bale, rather long, and WIIR dressed when arraigned in plain, neat, light clothing, with a small straw hat. tier appearance and demeanor are chillish, and she observed the preliminary ar rangements for the trial with the same degree of curiosity and unconcern which any little girl en tirely disinterested in the result 'night have been cspeeted to exhibit. tier countenanee Is neither prepossessing nor otherwise, and there Is nothing in her features or expression that a fihysiognomist would regard as of any particular signilicance as' indicative or character. She conversed freely with her counsel when spoken to, and her de meanor indicates ordinary intelligence. Iler rela tives were in Court, and very naturally manifested a painful degree of interest in the little girl's sit uation. The eircumstanec s s of the murder with all Its surroundings, will be fully detailed In the evi dence. For the Commonwealth there arc engaged the District Attorney, Edward 11. Shearer, and Messrs. A. K. Stan llbr and A. S. Salsa man. The defence Is represented by. Messrs. EdWin Shalter and F. B. Lanchs. She pleaded " Not guilty." The Court ad- Ijourned, to assemble again at o'ehelt this morning TIIE CITY OI ALLENTowN.—We believe the most moderate estimates of the population of this city have not fallen below 10,000, while the usual estimate has given 113 20,000. As In all other cities of rapid growth the census shows that we were entirely to big for our breeches and like our neighbors we are compelled to Collie down. Reading was estimated at 90,000; she will not have 35,000. Catasamput claimed 5000; the census shows about 2000. Bethlehem, Easton, and all other towns have been shorn of their greatness and we shall be well satisfied, If when the enu meration Is completed, we can boast of 16,000. The census oldie Ist. sth and 6th Wards have he ru stuntned up by lloputy Marshal Snyder, and the result Is Fir4t Word—Number of Males, O5B " •' females, 855 Total, 1813 Deaths last year, 21 ; number of dwellings, 200; number of fatiiilles, 368.

In the Sixth Ward the vote e:tl was 271, which shows an average of nearly oto a voter. In the Fifth Ward the aver age is a little niece than 5. Allowing six persons to each voter In tho . remaining three wards they will give us a population• of 8,484, showing in Vireo wards nearly the same population we had in the entire borough of Allentown in 1860. The In crease Is immehse and it Is but nu Index of our Progress in improvements. We believe In no other city of 16,000 population can he found so notch energy and enterprise. Our stores are large :rod beautifal buildings ; our ho tels are numerous, commodious and excellent; our churches :ire many and it; their COnSirIICLIOII evince the taste of our people ; nor public school buildings reflect the highest hoar upon our Board of Control and the School Directors, anti the hull& lug in the Fifth Ward has nosuperior in the State; our Jill Is a model cf architectural beauty.

Several modifications have been made within a year or two. We learn from the R alma!, Times that upon the Lehigh Va 'lcy naliread. one particular engine is six wheel connected, carrying eleven tons, with the pony truck carrying but five tons. The foward truck Into Mr. Ilissel's device rm . giving flexibility In the wheel base. Another engine of the same class, differing In some details, Is running upon the New York Central railroad. It has three pairs of driv ing-wheels connected, and the toward truck car ries only 10,700 pounds, while the weight on the driVers Is 05,000 pounds. A MACESIFICENT IMtratovENEs•r.—Messrs. Ileimbach, Helfrich Co., furniture dealers, at 734 Hamilton street, have been making extensive alterations to their establishment. They have put In an all-glass front, with Iron pillars. The lights In front aro each six by eleven feet, with glass live and a half by eleven feet each running obliquely to the entrance doors, which latter are live feet in width. This, front, when completed, will be the grandest In the city. The entire width of the store is twenty-seven feet. An unfortunate accident occurred while the workmen were putting In one of the front lights, by which a corner was broken off, entailing a loss of sevenq•dh•e dollars. The proprietors conteni plate having It replaced. USEMENTS.—The Female Minstrels per formed In Kline's Hall to a full house, Frlday even ing. The entertainment With much more orderly and decent than was expected, and possessed con siderable merit. The performance ou the trapeze was thrilling, arid was greeted with deafening, ap plause! It Is said Prof. Anderson will visit our city . In a short time, and give a series of exhibitions of legerdemain. Caroeross & Dixey, it is said, had desired to open liagenbuch's Hall, but as their season In Philadelphia opens before the building will be completed they are reluctantly forced to forego that pleasure. THE accumulation of small coin iiigetting to be a very great nuisance, and many people In re tail business hardly know what to do with then; the banks refuse them ; merchants will not take them In payment for bills, and the parties who have to receive them from small customers are worried by the embarrassment of their nickels. It requlr - es no little Ingenuity to get over this (11111- cultv, but It may be got over.

NOT POSTED UP.—A. correspondent of the New York World, who has been "doing" the Le high coal regions, writes of meeting con( trains on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, loaded with from five to eight thousand tons each, running very stow, scarcely exceeding fifteen miles an hour. A ludi crous sight for city people is the "green un" from the country. who is not up on the tricks and vices of city life, and a disgusting spectacle is a wise man from the city who is ignoratit..of important facts of the country. The Worid's correspondent should have signed himself the "Green un from the city." The maximum number of cars drawn by one engine on the Lehigh Valley Railroad is •ne hundred iind fifty, carrying five tons each, or 750 tons to a train, and the average speed Is eight *tiles an hour.
