A TIMELY - COMPOSITION. —I like Ice.
k; When It's cold I like it best. Ice Is good for a
great many things. It Is good to skate on, and
Is good to make Ice cream. I like to ekatc.
Sometimes I lend my skates to Lizzie Jones, And
she lets me buckle them on for her. I buckle
them . on very carefully. Sometimes Jim Smith
• puts them on for her, but I don't think hedoes It
as well as I do. I don't know what Lizzie thinks
• about it. Ice was very scarce last summer, but
It Is plenty now. It always Is plentler In winter
than In summer. I like Ice, and me and Lizzie
Jones are going skating this afternoon.

me CONCERT TUESDAY EVENINO,The COL.
cer t of the B.t. John's Lutheran Choir, at th•
Opel a ITotte, Tuesday evening, was attended by a
larg" and appreciative audience. The concert
opened with a selection from Weber, performed
on piano, organ, clarionet, cornet and violin, and
the execution of this, as well as- the other selec
tions performed on these instruments, was most
excellent, and could only be excelled by a full or
chcstra of professlunala. The choruses did not,
seem to please the audience so well. The fact ap
pears to be overlooked on the part of many con
cert conductors that the Mails of the people Is not
born nod educated In 'the art of male, and the
selections are therefore such as are beyond the
appreciation of au ordlunry audience. " When
Thou Comest," by itosiini, wan sung by Miss
Stein and the choir, and was one of the grandest
and most Impressive productions of the evening,
and afforded nn opportunity for the exercise of
Miss Stern's nceomplished voice. Prof. Spengler's
p:rformances on the piano were greeted with
deafening npplause, and the Professor has every
reason to be proud of his reception here: The or
gan solo by Prof. Her Man was an. artist's render
ing of an eminent composer's most beautiful over
ture. It was grand. Mr. Boyer Ida difficult se
lection showed himself to be au accomplished
baritone. The concert concluded with the remit.
tar Wedding March from Mudelssohn, performed
by the instrumental quintette, and the audience
went home well pleased with the evening's enter-
tahnuent. The concert was given for the purpose
of assisting In the purchase of the new organ for
the English Lutheran Church, and we were glad
to see it en well patronized.
Urn AT TEE STATE CAPITAL.—It Is not
perfect bliss to live at Harrisburg, although it Is
the capital of our great and glorious State, Judg
log from the following description of life there
which we clip from the Harrisburg State Journal:
" Lawlessness has lately bad full sway In our city.
Petty burglaries have occurred almost nightly,
and ladies have been Insulted with Impunity.
Neither property or life linve'any safeguard under

Pr'veil of his life, In the early part of the evening
it, a thickly-populated neighborhood, and fre
quently traveled street. At the present time he
lies on the verge of death, through the Injuries
Inflicted ! the hopes of family and friends ebbing
and flowing as' the attending physicians glee hope
or discouragement over the prospect of his ulti
mate recovery. A reward of $5OO is offered for
the apprehension of the 'perpetrator of this bold
outrage,'vet no clue has been obtained, and the
assailant or assailants are still ap large.

Tim NEW YE/LB.—The commencement of
the new year will bean excellent time for those of
our Allentown merchants who do not advertise in
our columns to make a beginning. 'The experience
of every merchant who has madeknown his wares
In Toe Cunorviems and Tim BRA:alma has been
that ho has enlarged his business and profits by
doing so, and those who want to increase their
business can only do so by making it known. •An
advertisement Is better than a sign, for the latter
is only seen by those who pass It, while the former
is read by hundreds who would never otherwise
know of the existence of such a place of business.
Try our advertising columns, gentlemen, for we
aro sure that we can do yob good. .
HICIDELBERO.—The Sabbath School of Hei
delberg has recently been studying Christ's Ser
mon on the Mount, which was recited at the re
cent Christmas Festival. The interest developed
in the subject prompted the request to Rev. Mr.
Renninger, the Lutheran pastor, to give a sermon
on the last evening of the year with the fifth, sixth
and seventh chapters of Matthew as a text. Mr.
Renninger complied with the request ; and among
the points brought out were the following : Christ
practiced what ho preached ; the Sermon on the
Mount embodies the foundation of ever}thlng
good ; we should pray spiritually as well as ver
bally ; we should not only be hearers of the word,
but doers also.
Suiernitat PARTY.—The congregation of
the English Evangelical Church metat the church
building on Turner street, last week, and pro
ceeded in a body to the residence of their pastor,
Rev. J. G. Bands. They were well loaded with
provisions of various kinds, and they made quite
a formidable appearance when they presented
themselves at the house of Mr. Bands. They
passed a very pleasant evening, and left behind
them substantial evidences of the kindly feeling
of the Christmas season. Among the presents
suede were, three tarkies and a purse well tilled
with current funds. Mr. Bands Is a very worthy
clergyman, who has labored hard and earnestly
for 'behest interests of his people since he came
to Allentown, and we are glad that Ills congrega
tion has made him this pleasant nrprise. Min
isters are gladdened and encouraged by remem
brance,' of this kind more than even their people
think, and a congregation which takes good earn
of its minister and gives tangiblwevidences of Its
appreciation for his work Is richer both temporal
ly and spiritually therefor.
BETIII.EIII?.M.—Rev. C. J. Cooper, pastor
of the Lutheran church in South Bethlehem, was
on Christmas Eve presented with a gold headed
cane by the children of the Sunday school of his
congregation.
Associate... Judge Joseph Laubach, on Christmas
Eve, was presented by the members of his family
with a very beautiful gold headed cane.
A meeting for the brganization of a second mil
itary company at Bethlehem was held on Monday
evening. H. E L Brown was elected chairman. and
William C. Dolreecretary. It was decided to call
the organization the " Ellsworth Infantry.'
Patrick Rodgers, of Booth Bethlehem, was
killed by a coal train on the Lehigh Valley road
on Saturday evening. He undertook to cross the
track opposite the Bethlehem Iron Company's
works, between two trains, and a locomotive and
a dozen ears passed over him. Some parts of his
body were thrown several feet, and his remains
were so badly crushed and mangled that they
could hardly be recognized• lie left a widow and
five children.
GET LIGATURE BITH,-0110 of the cruelest
things done to dumb beasts is putting hard frozen
Iron bits into a horse's mouth. It Id not only a
painful, but a dangerous act. For every time liv
ing flesh touches a metal much below the freezing
point, the latter extracts the heat from the former
and freezes it. Thus a horse's mouth becomes
frozen by the cold Iron several times a day put
into It ; each time causing these frecziugs to go
deeper, to end at last In extensive ulceration.
With such a sore mouth the poor horse refuses to
eat and pines away, which calls the horse doctor
In. They call It bets.. glanders. horse.all, etc.,
and go to cramming down poisonous drugs, In
domes ; and the next you know of the poor abused
creature, he is trotted off to be food for fish or the
crows. .Many a valuable horse has been " ;nye
teriously" lost to Just that way. Thinking and
humane people avoid this by first warming the
bits ; but this Is much trouble and sometimes im
possible, as In night work like staging and phy
sicians' work. Now all this trouble is entirely
avoided, as we have found on large trial, by get.
Ong the harness makers to get leather bits for
winter use, so made that no metal substance can
touch the flesh. They are durable, and cost only
elf a dollar. We wouldn't exchange
° ours for a
gold one, If It couldn't be replaced. Don't fall to
try It.—Rural World,
CHEAP lavitto.—ln Dr. Dlo Lewis' "Talks
About People's Stomachs," lately published, by
Melds, Osgood it Co., he shows how people may
live In a mannerkwhich is at once cheap and
healthful, and gives an account of his own diet
!or oue week In which the sum total expended for
.is food was 5434 cents. Two days out of the
seen be indulged in a beef stew the meat for
vrilch eacb.time cost. exactly two cents, and he
5513, " there was really enough for two of us !"
As the other days, the carte for a couple of
them will glee au Idea ofall : "Sunday breakfast,
hulled Southern corn, with a little milk. My
breakht cost three cents. I took exactly the
same t' , lp.; for dinner. Food for the day, six

worth.of ~ negar. For dinner, one quart of rich
bean porrhh;v worth one emit, with four slices of
coarse bread. worth two cents Food for 'I ueoday,
five and a Bali ~itE. In conclusion, Dr. Lewis
remarks : " Of coal alit I don't pretend that every
oue can live In th,4 luxutious way. It Isn't every
body that can atiord it. I could have lived just
as well, as far fly health and strength are con
cerned, on half C.. money. Besides, on three
days I ate too amen altogether, and suffered from
thirst.and dullnest But then I may plead that
my Labile are very t.nlve. Not only have I writ

have done a large amount of bard muscular
labor."

THE DRAMATIC ASBOCIATION.-7
town Literary and Dramatic Association
two grand entertainments In the Now 0,
House on the 14t1s and 16th lusts. The programme
for each of these entertainments la given In our
advertising columns, and it certainly promises
finely for the pleasure and enjoyment of those
who attend. We hope the Association will re
ceive generous encouragement and patronage
from our citizens.
Ftniza. —We give In another column a form
idable list of fires which have occurred within the
past few days, and we must "Improve the occa
sion" In giving our readers a (ow words of cau
tion. It is certainly significant that the first week
of real winter weather should record so many and
so destructive fires, and many of them have no
doubt occurred through carelessness or neglect.
There Is too little attention paid to the proper ar
rangement of beating apparatus, and when a
"cold snap" comes on and stoves and furnaces
are drivento their utmost capacity by cramming
them with fuel, the defective flues and the wooden
partitions through which the heated pipes pass
show ttietr defects by inking fire. Too much care
cannot be bestowed upon Arcs and their manage
ment during the winter months, and we urge all
our readers to increased vigilance In caring for
the fires In their houses, offices and business
places.

SAD DIRABTER AT FRANKLIN.—The Mar
shall House situated at the west end of the wire
bridge over the Allegheny river, at Franklin, took
fire Friday forenoon. The flames communicated
to the bridge, nod the cables aeon becoming red
hot parted from their anchorage, precipitating the
entire structure into the river. About twenty per
Bone were on the bridge at the time. Wm. Neill,
farmer, Mclntyre, the toll-keeper, and his wife
and daughter, who were engaged In removing
'furniture on the bridge, were fatally injured.
Mary and George Mclntyre, John and Alex. Mc-
Cartney, John Henry, and two unknown persons
were seriously injured. Wilfrled Gilgore, freight
agent of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, is sup
posed to be burled in the ruins, as he was known
to be on bridge. The weather wan Intensely cold
and the river frozen over to the second pier on
each side, nud great difficulty ens experienced in
reaching the sufferers with skiffs. A boy named
Johnson, aged 13 years, jumped from the center
of the bridge and swam ashore to the slushy Ice.
The bridge was newly erected at a cost of $36,000,
and the Marshall house cost $5,000 ; no Insurance
on either.

ZOICI3 ADDRIESR.—The dedicatory address
delivered Wednesday evening by !Wile Zoc was
very appropriate, and if the spirit of this address
Is always carried out upon the stage of the New
Opera House there ca:a he but little fault found.
We glee the address below In full :
As In the East, when pledged the nuptial troth
Donned the Bride-ring, and sworn the bride
groom's oath,
Tito `• happy man," if happy man he be,
Eager the visage of his fair to see,
Removes the veil that hides the blushing charms
Of her whose future refuge is his arms,
And gazes.with a glowing, conscious pride,
Upon the feautures of his orient bride,—
So we to-night uplift the mystic veil,
Reveal our beauties unto your "All Hail,"
And—to her service vowed both heart and brain—
To Thespls bunahlfiredicate tills face.
Beneath this roof shall the Immortal speech
Of deathless poets, wisdom's lessons teach;
The eye be charmed and the affections moved,
The mind Instructed and the heart improved ;
The ribald jest, the barefaced equlvoque,
The groundlings' plaudits here shall ne'er provoke;
For not one syllable our players speak
Shall call the modest blush on beauty ' s cheek ;
And, though we fear not the ascetic's frown,
Thalia will ne'cr be seen in loosened gown.
Within the crowded city; or the vast
Uncultivated prairie—lndex of the past—
Where'cr the Anglo-Saxon foot may roam,
The Drama finds a refuge, a home ; •
And here to-night another temple opens
Its door to you. With' you are
All our hopes.'
It rests with you to teed the budding dower,
Which else, neglected, dies within the hour.
Our efforts all are listed In your cause,
Our proudest hope to meet your kind applause ;
That glorious tribute every fear disarms--
! The laurels that we crave are but your palms.

A NEW ENTERPHISE.—We learn that some

perpetrated by a bogus firm, calling themselves
Painter, Myers & Co., ban Just come to light in
thin city. The parties came here :timid two
months ago and hired a place of business, setting
up as hardware merchants, and by menus of ref-
erences to a mythical confederate firm in Harris
burg, obtained consignments from various hard
ware dealers in New York, New Jersey, and else
where, reshipping the goods to Baltimore and
other places on their arrival, and making good
their escape, before the frauds could be detected.
The swindle Is said to manual. to upwards of 16000.
TumPlmaNcr, MEETING.—Thu Temperance
meeting at the Conn [louse last week was very
well attended. It•wee opened with music by the

addresses by Roy. Mr, Swindells and Rev. r.
Packwood, readings by Mr. T. F. Emmens and
music by the band. : The programme was well
calculated to Interest-the audience, and we were
glad to ace the meeting so well attended. The
cause of temperance Is of the first importance to
every community, andlhere Is no so efficient way
of advancing the cause as by working upon pub
lic eentitnont.
Tau SCIIAAF TRAGEDI'. —The jurors im—
paneled by Coroner Bush for an inquisition upon
the body of Nicholas Schaaf, who died on Tues
day from the effects of the injuries received sonic
time ago In a drunken quarrel in East Allentown
were : Tilghman G. Gross, sylroster Weiler,.l. A.
Kramer, F. Z. Heebner, S. W. Bureaw and A. 1..
Rube. Their verdict is " that the said Nicholas
Schaaf came to his death on the 07th of Decem
ber, 1870, by a stroke on the head with sonic in
strument, the nature of which is to the jurors Un
known, Inflicted either by Julia Fahlstich or Jacob
Renner, and further they say !mt..'
The post mortem examination, couducteJ by
Drs.lifartin and Apple, showed that lie was not
shot as Renner supposed, and the question to be
decided now Is whether the fatal blow was in
flicted by Renner or Fahlstich."
THE LATE JOHEMI WIIITAKER.—JOSeph
Whitaker, who died ti short time since at Mont
Clare, Montgomery county, was a native of Ches
ter county, where he was burn In 1789. In 1808
ho went to Philadelphia, and for many years he
made nails by hand. In 1816 he and his brother
James leased a rolling-mill at the Falls of Schuyl
kill, and continued the business wills Sithe nail ma
chines which had then linen recently patented.
In 1820 they purchased Gibraltar Forge, near
Residing, and a rolling-mill near Wllmingtoa,
Del., to which latter place he removed. In 18211
he obtained an interest In the Litimberland Iron
and Null Wotks, at Bridgeport, New Jersey. In
1827 lie and his copartners, then trailing us Reeves
& Whitaker, bought the Phiculx. Iron Rorke, at
Pluenixville, and for eighteen years he continued
very successfully the management. ~f the units
of the firm at that place. In 1846 he purchased
the Durham Furnaces, In Bucks county, ;not he

FooEt.syn.i.n.--Our Fogelsville correspon
dent sends us the following : "it has been the
practice of the oftleers and teachers of tt o Sat,-
bath school connected with the St: John's crnigre
gallon at Fogelsville to hold with the soluiel
festival on Christmas each year. II: pun:nonce of
this peactice a festival Was held in thy• church
edifice on Christmas Eve. Some may object in
such a practice as being fraught with no real bone
fit to the school, but I am of a different opinion,
and one too which, I think, bar boon fully verified
by the good clf•ets the recent festival had upon
the community at large. And why. should nut all
Sabbath school teachers and calkers celebrate
with their schools by appropriate eNerehteS that
greatest event In the annals of time—the birth of
Christ I That the efforts of the ceachcrs, Lacers
and scholars towards getting up something appro
priate for 'Christmas were blessed with success
beyond expectation, cannot badenied, for all who
attended the festival express their approbation in
terms of glowing admiration. Sot too much
praise can he given to the Superintendent and his
able assistants fur placing before us such a beau
tiful scene to feprosent the Incidents that acVnin
panted the high of our Parlor. There n • as the
"cave" in the rock of which the eminence of
Bethlehem la composed, the neat little village of
Bethlehem, the plain where the devout shepherds
watched their flocks, the angel hovering above the
shepherds and announcing the " glad tidings of
great Joy," the visit of the shepherds to the man
ger and their tevotlons, and the visit of the wise
men of the East representing, every race. This
scene was matte still more attraetive by an a mill
clot fount jetting out n stream of water delightful
to behold, and by a star which was made to move
from one corer of the church to a position right
above the maag,er. Who would say that n .•cotta
of this kind is not attractive I This was not the
only feature that contributedto make this festival
an ever to be semetnbered event. The delightful
pieces which the children recited and the . hymns
which they sung on title occasion produced an
agreeable effect upon the andknee, as w•nc mani

Tint NEW YEAll.—The New Year' was
watched In by faithful bands In several of stir
churches, and was "shot in" by others who
were less devout and who bad no scruples about
disturbing the slumbers and dreams of people who
go to bed at the usual hour on the last night of
the Old Year. In most of the churches Sun
day, sermon , : appropriate to the season were de
livered, and is Is to be hoped that the quiet hours
of the Sabbath were spent by our people in making
good resolutions, and that they are now trying to
keep them.
ACCIDENT.—is several of the members of
the Zoe Troupe were going to the East Ferns Depot
on Sunday morning, about one o'clock, the horses
took fright and dashed up the Railroad. M'lle
Zoe attempted to jump off and was thrown vio
lently.on the track. Miss Aenie Fannin remain
ed in the coach and was thrown over an embank
ment with it. Wile Zoe was pretty badly injured,
but Is now as well as could be expected. Miss
Fannin was also Injured some. This was a very
severe accident, but not serious enough to hinder
the performances of this week, which will still
continue.
THE SLATE TRADM—DOUbIiefiS one of the
most important material elements of wealth and
future prosperity of the Lehigh Valley-lie In the
slate trade and business, and the multiplied forms
In which slate Is being used will greatlyaccelerate
Its production and the development of quarries.
A great demand is springing up for paving flags,
and we ere informed that the machinery at work
now is entirely inadequate to supply the market.
This must necessarily give quite a large tonnage
to our transporting companies. Indeed, the trans
portation of roofing and school, slate mantels,
lee., Is no inconsideiable Item. It Is said that at
Slatington alone, during the past season, about
RICO cars were loaded and shipped. The Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company apprehends the Impor
tance of this trade, and to accommodate and
foster it, a branch road has beerr run up from Bla
tington for :O&M five miles along the quarries.
This enables the slate men to get their production
into market quicker and cheaper than they could
before, and of course stimulates production and
enables them to work when more distant quarries
mast be idle on account of a depressed market or
sharp competition. In the neighborhood of Dan
leisvilic are some thirty quarries, and many slate
men predict that it will become the largest slate
producing region in the Valley and State. At
this time more school slates are mannfacturing
there than at. any other pout in the United States.
With proper transporting advantages many new
quarries would be opened, and the capacity of the
old ones largely increased. The slate has to be
carted from four to live miles at a coat of from
forty to sixty cents, while the loss in consequence
of breakage is probably tan cents more a square.
Up to this time the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany has done nothing to acquire any traffic oc
the cast side of the river from Slatington, but we
understand that they contemplate running a
branch road to Danielsville, and probably extend
it six miles further toChapmansville. This would
give the Lehigh Valley almost the exclusive con
trot of the slate tonnage, and would undoubtedly
i be a good MOST on their part.—Mauch Chunk

THE OPERA HOUSE OPENING
MIL IVltlolll'l3 ADDREBB
Mr. Wriglit's address was very appropriate to
the ocalsion and was heartily commended by all
I
wl;o bad the pleasurd of listening to It. Tie com
menced with an allusion to the well known Inel-
dent In the life of Galileo, the nstronomer, who,
thou. at compelled publicly to renounce and recant
his theory of the motion of the earth, whispered
an he race to his knees : "The earth Is still mov
ing." And this fact was, and Is, as true with re
gard to the moral and social worlds as withrespect
to the natural world. Wherever life exists, there
In motion, nod all tlAgn. are either ascending or
descending In the scale. No moment is precisely
like the one that precedes it. No human life is
moving In u horizontal line. All are moving
either mniards or downwards. Bolt Is also with
the masses. Communities are subject to the same
law. Towels either grow IntO citing, or decline
Into petty hamlets, and the mental, moral and
social character of their Inhabitants follow or
precede them in this course. With reference to
.ourselves,
ourselves, uo one who knew us as a people ten or
twenty years ago,, can say with truth that as a
community we are either dead or 513 ing. If tbcre
is healthy action anywhere, Allentown is In the
current.
Allusion NTII6 thus made to the custom of recog
nizing publicly the advent of any new public Im
provement, and to the propriety of doing so, and
the speaker congratulated the people of Allen
town on the tet that they were at length enabled
to meet In a public hall adequate to their so
cial, secular wants, and In harmony with their
Improved and Improving taetes. A rapid review
was then, given of, the efforte made from time to
time to meet This public want In the erection of
the Court House, the Free Ball, the Odd Fellovie •
halt, blinds Halt fie., And of the causes of thelr
failure to doao.
"This enterprise," said Mr. Wright, "Is now
complete, and must henceforth work for weal or
woe. It cannot be neutral, and it must rise or
tall obedient to the universal law of motion, and
It will either purify, and realm. our social life, or
poison and pollute it.; In the high personal char
ncter ut the gentlemen to whose public spirit we
nre,indebted for its existence, we have the strong
est assurance that it never will be perverted to
improper uses. The rules which they have adopted
for the gcryernment of all who may hereafter use

Zoe, The Ticket-of-Leave Man was performed,
Zoe taking the character of Elam Willoughby,
Miss Fannin appearing as May Edwards, Mr.
Fannin as Robert Brierly, Mr.Glassford as Metter
Moss, Mr. Perry as Jim Dalton, and Mrs. Wit
king as Mrs. Willoughby. These characters were
all well-sustained and gave evidence of the talent
of the troupe. It is a rare circumstance that a
Troupe of this character- travels through the
country, but the unlimited success of this one
shows that the interior towns of our State can
appreciate and will patronise merit on the stage.
The troupe will remain here for a short time and
we predict for them a Brilliant season.

LEHIGH VALLEY INDUSTRIES,
Lehigh Valley Iron Works at Coplay.
MR. RUMMER DALLIMeIf CONNECTION WITH Trig
=I
Prior to the successful use of anthracite coal In
the manufacture of Iron in the Lehigh Valley
charcoal was used, and out of one of the two Char
coal Furnaces which were put In operation In Le
high county grew the present Lehigh Valley Iron
Works at Copley. The first Charcoal Furnace In
this county was the Hampton, which was built by
William Heinbach In 'Upper Milford. The second
was the Lehigh, which was built by Stephen Bal
ilet and Samuel Helfrich in Washington township.
This Furnace was started in 15:5, and at that time
and for a long time afterward It was the only Iron
Furnace In the Lehigh Valley, the Hampton hav
ing been stopped before the Lehigh was built.
Before starting his furnace Mr. Barnet bought
thirty-to ree acres of ore laud in North Whitehall>
where tionton now is, and when be had secured
this property, which is probably to-day the most
valuable ore property in this county, he com
menced the manufacture of iron with Mr. Helfrich,
under the firm name of Balllet dc Helfrich. This
was In 1825, and the Furnace continued under
their management, and also a Furnace and Forge
in Carbon county, until the death of Mr. Helfrich,
when Mr. Ballict assumed the whole and carried
It on until 1853, when the first Anthracite Furnace
at Coplay was commenced. Mr. Stephen Balllet,
therefore, may properly be regarded as one of the
pioneers In the iron business In this Valley, and It
Is worthy of note in this connection that he always
expressed his confidence that the day would come
when anthracite coal would be used In the manu
facture of Iron. He made many experiments In
this direction, and was only prevented from mak
ing other and more extensive ones by the force of
circumstances. As soon as it was found that by
the use of the hot blast iron could be made with
anthracite coal Mr. Balllet commenced his pre
parations for building an Anthracite Furnace, but
it was not till 1853, some twelve years after the
starting of the Lehigh Crane Works at Catasau
qua, that be was able to carry his project into ef
fect.. In that year Furnace No.l was commenced
at Coplay, and in 1854 it was blown in. This
Furnace was built by Stephen Balllet & Co., the
other partners being Stephen Balllet, Jr., Aaron
Balllet and Benj.min S. Levan. •
TUB 1.11111011 VALLEY COMPANY.
The business was conducted by them but a short
time before the firm was broken up by the death
of Mr. Barnet, Senior, and then the business was
taken up and carried on by the Lehigh Valley
Iron Company, which was incorporated In 1855.
The capital stock at the time of its incorporation
was $150,000, and the company was organized by
the choice of Joseph Lanbach as President, and
Benjamin B. Levan as Superintendent, Secretary
and Treasurer. These gentlemen have retained
those positions In the Company from the day of
organization to the present time, and there have
been but few changes among the stockholders,
most of whom reside in this county. The capital
stock has been twice doubled, and Is now $600,000.
Inn FORNACIIII AND'IIIII RORY THAI Id DONS.
No. 1 Foresee was run alone for about eight
years, when No. 2 was built In 1861 and 1062.
No: 3 was built four years afterwards, and was
blown In In 1868. No. 1 wan built fourteen feet
bosh and forty-five feet high, and it le now the
same bosh as at first and sixty feet In keight.
This Furnace Is furnished with the bell nod hop
per linprovement for properly distributing the
charge of ore, coal and limestone. M 0.2 Furnace
Is slxteen feet bosh and fifty-three feet high, and
No. 3 is sixteen feet bosh and fifty-flee _ feet high.
As at the Lehigh Crane and Allentown Works,
steam engines are used for producing the blast ;
and hot blast ovens, heated by the waste gases
from the Fai uacee, (or heating the blast. There
are three blowing engines, all of them built by I.
P. Morris A Co., one of them a beam engine and
the others upright. These engines are so ar
ranged that one can be used for each Fornate, or
that the force of them all can be brought to bear
upon one Furnace, as may be desired or rendered
necessary by the condition of the work., The Hem
atite ore which Is used isobtained from the Bal.
liet ore beds att Ironton, and It Is transported to
the Works over the Ironton Railroad, the Coin-
. .
pang at Copley owning the can `which are used
for this work. The Magnetic ore is obtained from
New Jersey, from mines in Morris and Hunting•
ton counties. The coal is obtained froM the Ma.
hanoy region. The limestone is obtained from
quarries owned by the Company in close proximity
to the 15 orks, Several years ago the Company
bought a farm of one hundred and slaty acres ad
joining their Works, and the limestone quarries
upon tbis'farm are regarded as the best and largest
in Lehigh county: Tile richness of the quarries
and their nealneas to the Furnaces are advantages
of no small Importance, and the amount saved
each year in the simple matter of transportation
of the limest9ne Is very considerable,- The weekly
conselmptfo'n of the three: tutnanei liabout - 1375
tons of ore, 1100 tons of coal and 750 tone of lime
stone, and the weekly product Is about 550 tons

made is shipped to Philadelphia and New York,
