Omt TittuuTE.— We do not like to alight
our Philadelphia cotemporarics; but after a long
acquaintance with the Pittsburgh Commercial we
find It impossible to divest ourself of Cue opinion
that It Is the best paper in the State. The citizens
of the western part or the State have every reason
to be proud.of this paper. While the proverbial
smokiness of the Iron City is very distasteful to
the delicate sensibilities of Eastern people, It la
pretty evident that the bituminous smoke does not
affect the iron minds of the editors of the Com
mercial.
TUE COALSTIIIICE.--A.COrre3polltlerlt writer
from \fauch•Chonk that "'the miners of Carbon
aro considerably dissatislici already wills the sus
pension, and not a few voices arc being raised In
favor of resumption at au early day." But, be
says, they are afraid of the Schuylkill net, ; a fear
• which does not appear to be reciprocal, for the
last delegate meeting of the Schuylkill W. It. A.
sturdily resolved to " adhere to the $3 basis, so
long as Ltizerne and Carbon work with nein good
.faith ;" but to `• go It alone," If I,ozorne and Car
bon fall to keep the compact.
AN ACTUAL PAM—Sonic time since a gen

very unhealthy.

of the proprietors of the Engle hotel, nit with a
runaway accident while with a sleighing party on
their way to Batmen. The party was near the
Lehigh Furnace when one of lila horses became
frightened at a locomotive. Mr. Sieger's horse,
which is n high spirited animal, suddenly tried to
pass the frightened dmr,e when the sleigh struck
against it large stone, capsizing the sleigh and
throwing Mr. Sieger and his lady out and injuring
the latter. The sleigh In the rear shared thesitme
kite, and both of the oceupants were thrown out
and Injured. Mr. Sieger's liaise ran away and
entered . the cast•house of the Ftlriiaee, destroying
the sand-moulds, friu,h to the disgust of the work
men/ The riglat•hatad moulds had becn filled With
the molten metal and had the horse run across
these his life would have been sacrificed. The
animal Was soon captured by the.workmen and It
was very lucky that he escaped without injury.
The eHO was badly smashed.
ALTlmetut It has been more than a month

Paid Fire Department became a law, there has
been little or no actual progress in the organiza

nothing because Councils wish to retain a finger
In the pie and bear the 611111.2 relation to the Cona
missioners as they do to the , Mayor, or as the
Legislature does . to the Governor. The Commis

Is'a reflection upon the Integrity of the former.

A SAD Csetc.—During last week Mr. and
Mri. Herman Yoch, residing on Chew street, be
tween Ninth and Tenth, showed uutnietakable
signs of insanity. This morning Mr. Yeek com
menced breaking all the windows and making end
havoc of everything he 'could lay his bands on.
The police went out to their house for the purpose
of taking them to the Poor House to have them
confined, and while In the net of binding Mrs.
Yoch she hit off a couple of her fingers. Religious
excitement is the cause of this sad occurrence.
lita:AwAY.—On Monday morning, John L.
Schreiber drove to the house of M.D. Gedrge, Up
per Main street, and tied his horse to a post, Whet)
he, In company with Mr. George, went to transact
some business. Two little boys thought of having
some fun, untied the hitching strap, got into the
sleigh and drove up Main street a short distance,
when their horse took fright, became unmanage

RUNAWAY. The mania fur running MT
seems to amount to a contagion among our city
horses. Friday morning, a team attached to a
sleigh, containing Mr. fleimbach, two ladles and
some children, dashed down Hamilton street at a
fearful speed, creating great excitement among
the people on the street. At Fifth street the horses
endeavored to turn in, but Mr. Ilehnbaeh hung on
to them heroically and succeeded in averting
smash-up by keeping them on Hamilton street.
Their speed, however, was not slackened, and they
ran down the hill and across the Jordan bridge,
where one of the horses fell down and put a stop
to their mad career. The runaway fortunately
resulted In no serious dam*, and the party re
turned home.
LEcrunn.—The 'Slatington News saps:
We understand Rev. John MeNaughtan, Pastor
of the Presbyterian Church here, intends deliver
ing a lecture In his own church, on tin• evening of
Friday, February 17th. Ills suldect is to be, "The
life and work of the Into Rev. Frederick William
Robertson of Brighton, England." The subject
of this licture, although not wcll•known In this
neighborhood, Is no stranger to the general pub
lic. Ills short but brilliant career•; his manly at
titude in relation to the great questions of his age;
his fearless exposition of truth ; Ills patient heroic
endurance under a multitude of tvlals, combined
with his noble ,polities as a chrlstlan and a mall,
have made him beloved wherever his name hue
beets known. Thu people of our neighborhood
would do well to hear thb. lecture. It will so
doubt be both instructive and interesting.
To THE WEST.—Charks Holier, the gentle
manly and obliging agent of the Central Express
Company, ban necepted the agency for the sale of
tickets on the Pennsylvania Central Itallro al from
Allentown to nil points having connections with
that road. The Central, besides being a tho
roughly Pennsylvania Institution, has the well
deserved reputation of being the best laid road and
best equipped of any in this country. The scenery
along the line west of Harrisburg Is grand and
picturesque. The beauties of the Blue Juniata,
'the grandeur of the Horse Shoe Bend and the
Conemaugh Valley are world famed. Every com-
rt fa linmred to Ow traveler and excellent tneuk
at the Company's dining ealoons can alwaya be
depended upon. Although the running on this
route la not so dangerously rapid ne on some other
roads, the distance and the time are shorter to
points west than by any other route.
THE COLOR GUARD.—CoI. A. H. Callioun's
grand military allegory of "The Color Guard"
has proved so popular and attractive In the various
places where It has been brought,out that our citi
zens are certainly to be congratulated upon the
opportunity which will be afforded them In a few
days of witnessing It at the New Opera House.
At Easton, Washington, and the numerous other
places where The Color Guard" has been pre
sented, It has been most enthusiastically received
and liberally patronized, and we bespeak. from
our citizens an equally hearty and generous recep
tion here. The Idea of the allegory Is to give
truthful and natural representation of the life and
experiences of the Union soldiers during the late
war, and few persons who served in that war had
better facilities afforded for accurately depleting
the soldier's life than Col. Calhoun, who was one
of Gen. Sherman's most valued and trusted scouts,
and who was at one time sentencel to death In
' Libby P,lson at Richmond. The presentation of
"The Color Guard" , will commence on the 14th
and will continue during that week. It will be
brought out here under the auspices and for the
benefit of the Excelsior Rifles, Capt. Laubach'::
company, and the interest and ruins of the alle
gory its ,If, and the fact that the exhibitions are
to be in the laterest of this very enterprising and
deserving local military organization will be mint
cleat to secure full houses.
Judson Kilpatrick,
the distinguished cavalry officer, who won fume
and iniffiary honors during the great rebellion, by
lilt gallant and valuable services, will lecture on
the evening of the 13th of February, In the Opera
House, on “Shermao's Morel, to the Sea." (I , :n.
Kilpatrick was born in New Jersey, in MS, was
appointed to West Point, from whence he gradu
ated In 1861, fifteenth in his class, and was made
Second Lieutenant of Artillery•. Soon after he

and distinguished services at the battle of Brandy
Station, and wits soon placed In command of

divisions, constituted Pleasanton's cavalry corps.

Sherman, with whom he remained durhm the re

Hocrnn ENTEMTAINSIENT.—A very pleasant
feature of our Allentown social life was the enter-
talnment given by Mr. and Mrs. S. A.Bridgcs Tues. '
day evening. The guests present were from this '
city, Bethlehem, Easton, Catasauqua, Philadel
phia and various other places, as the circle of Mr.
and Mrs. Bridges' friends and acquaintances is
an extensive one. The host and hostess were un
wearied in their efforts to contribute to the plea
sure and'enJoyment of their numerous guests, and
their efforts In that direction wore ethinently sue
cessfa: Each guest was most heartily and cor
dially welcomed, and there was an entire absence
of that formal restraint which too often gives a
chilling effect to large social entertainments.
Every one was made to feel completely at home,
and the hours passed swiftly, and pleasantly away.
The parlors had been very beautifully and taste
fully adorned with hot house flowers and flower
ing plants, and the effect of the green leaves and
the bright hued , blossoms was exceedingly pleas
ant and attractive. The dresses and toilets of the
ladles were elegant and tasteful; tile tables here
bounteously spread with all that goes to make up
'on unexceptionable entertainment, and In every
respect the affair was a complete uud gratifying
success'. The party was giVen on the Occasion of
the sixth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and
Mrs.. Bridges, . and their numerous friends most
cordially unite In thebope that thebospitable and
charming host and Imslesq of Ina evenlog may
enjoy many more glad returns of the happy any,
Which was so pleasantly commemorated by the
entertainment to Which we hare referred.

HOW TO CUILE COLDS.—The Herald of Health
gives the following simple directions for coring
cold : " Upon the first Indication that yin: have
taken cold, stop eating until the cold Is cured :
drink freely of cold water, induce a free perspira
tion over the entire body, either by exercise, the
Turkish vapor lamp, or hot water bath or wet
sheet pack, followed by a tepid spray or spunging;
go to bed,•cover up warm, and breath all the pure
air you can. Nine cases out of tell will yield to
this treatment la lens than twelve hours, and•
the tenth one will hardly continue twentydbur
hours."
Tim CoLon Gumtn.—As our citizens for it
long time have been anxiously looking forward to
the season of the presentation of the Color Guard,
we believe the following description of the alle
gory, taken from correspondence In the Easton
Express, will not be uninteresting:—The first
Peelle opens exhibiting an every-day occurrence,
when the first ruiners of war and Its terrible minim
hies were heralded through our landond showing
as near actuality as possible the different local
characters of some colliery towns—Squire Willi
ams, one of those consequential and self-Impor
tant men, wim,because of their nge and prestimp
don, arc supposed to know the coming events In
histories ol• nations os perfectly as they :pretend
they do their own fives and the government of the
village school.' This SpliSe . ki 01)1111011 upon such I
Illiesooll6 settles the same; but his sudden changes
of base after reading the paper, and Ids exclaim.
Lion of bravery are only excelled by the second
character of this scene, plain farmer Johnson,
who by his speech, manner and actions during the ;
whole Play, shows beyond doubt from whence the
Government reeeived the supplies of men nod
inateelal. Ile replies to the self-important Squire
by offering It's only son Jack to aid In putting
410,11 the rebellion, nod also his farm If "Uncle
Sant" needs it; slowing but too well the noble
sacrifices made by more than one plain farmer to .
sustain the nation In Its darke-t day of trial. The
appear/MCC In this scene of the third character,
A It. Thornton, and the deserved rebuke of tren
sonoviten he announces his determination to draw
his sword for the South, brings well to one's no
tlee the talent pos,essed by a gentleman taking
the character of Lewis Ludlow, the hero of the
ate, and who by his superb and truthful actin g
throughout the drama well d serves the tremen
dous encores tendered him. His rescue of his
bitter enemy from the hands of no exasperated
crowd, shows but too well our actions through life
towards one's fellows are not always reciprocated;
as in Scene 3d, Act 31, when, alter the terrible
battle and repulse of the Ceion lines, the flag
bearer of the Color Guard is ill-covered ssverely
wounded by the rebel, Alf. Thornton, who,
Instead of obeying the holy lesson taught us—
"Do unto others as you would they should
do unto you"—orders the matt who saved
his life to be taken to the rear, and thence
to that detested place of misery, Libby Prison.
I must go back to Act Ist, Scene 2.1, where the
heroine of the drama is discovered, Lucy Johnson.
The brave girl utters her touching prayer fur the
safety. of those she loves . , and the return of peace
to (lie war rent land. In Act lid, Scene Ist, she
declares her Intention of going South and assist
In nursing the wounded in hospitals and on the
battle-ilelds. In the 31 Scene of Act let is repre
sented the departure for the seat of war. The flag
presentation of this scene is one of the most truth
ful lepresitutione of the manner in which the
noble women of the North evinced their loyalty
and devotion to the cause they loved. Thus far
you see nothing but the commencement of the
war at the North ; but Scene Ist, Act 2d, carries
you Into the mountains of East Tennessee; here
wo hove the other side of the picture of war, a
scene In u village bar-room, where we again meet
that treAsnii advocate, Al f. Thornton, and his man

of mountaineers ; here are both the relict and union
elements, Thornton endeavoring to fire the hearts
of the mountain 11100 tgalust the National Gov

lit this solcdte 6 displayed some truly thrilling and
affecting acting by the wielded young man tubing
the character of Louis Ludlow. 11l Scene 33, act

ferent armies, the surging tide of brittle waves,
and the Union men retreat, get reinforcements,
again charge the rebel lines, and this time sue•

Act •Ith, Scene Ist, chows it scene founded on
fact, in Libby Prison ; the conspiracy to escape,
the 511001 ing of Capt. 'Forsyth,. for daring to
breathe the fresh air and gazing upon the blue
skies of heaven, by a rebel guard from sidlewalls
of prison. Scene 23, same act, discloses the fart
that Lucy Johnson, the hospital nurse, had been
captured by rebels and placed in the hands of her
rebel lover ; the hater's declaration of love; his
threats were not listened to ; his leave of the fair
prisoner, and entrance of Toney, it poor colored
boy, who had been watching over Lucy, and now
offered her a chance fur escape ; her Is Illlug• con
i ECOt to his phi as, anti their. escape—recalling to
memory the fact of how the poor contrabands, In
more than (me Instance during the war, assisted
in helping the escape of prisoners from their dens
of starvation. In Scene lid of this Act appears
Lucy and her black friend escaping through the
swamps and woods of Virgiula—where, also, one
sees that the conspiracy concocted In Libby Prison
WWI successful, front the fact of Louis Ludlow
and Bob Mason escaping. They enter and dis
cover Lucy worn out by constant travel and fa
algae. She had prepared to die. The three per

CLIPPING Hostage. —The New York Journal
of Commerce has a long and earnest article in de
fence of the clipping of horses during the winter
season, and urges that the shortening of the long
winter cont upon horses that aro warmly housed
when not at work, and are otherwise not exposed
except when at service, promotes the comfort of
the animals and is a positive act of kindness. In
answer to the charge that the clipping is done re
gardless of the comfort of the horse and simply to
improve 1114 looks, the writer says this is a great
mistake, since few horses look as well after clip
ping as before, the dark winter color beingcbauged
by it to a lighter hue, and beingsometimes totally
lost. A bright bay horse under this process turns
to a somewhat unsightly brown or mouse color.
In conclusion the article says that clipping is not
an net of cruelty to a horse for man's comfort,
convenience or the gratification of his pride, but
is an net of kindness, enabling the horse to per
form a given amount of work with much greater
ease, and saving him no small part of the severe
burden of his winter's labor.
DARING 11,013IILIIIT—ALLENTONIANFI IMPLI
CATED.—A daring robbery was committed last
Wednesday at the house of Aaron Kline, who re
sides near the Brick Tavern, not far this side of
Quakertown. Whilst the family of Mr. Kline
were at the funeral of 'Mr. Kline's father-In-law,
It is alleged that two persons who gave their
names as Harry Moyer and Levi Anderson of Al
lentown, who had worked for Mr. Kline about
three weeks, entered the house and took therefrom
a gold watch, a silver watch, gold and,silver coin,
silverware, c:othing and everything they could
fay their bands on. When the family returned
from the funeral everything was lu a very con
fused state, and Moyer and Anderson not being
about, were suspected of having committed the
deed. Last night a constable from Quakertown
arrived here and gave a description of the parties
to the police of this place. Both of the men wore
firemen's badges and said .they belonged to the
Liberty Hose Company of Allentown. All efforts
to catch the thieves have as yet proved futile, but
we hope that before long we may chronicle their
rapture. We learn that a reward of $25 is offered
for the apprehension of the thieves.
AN lIIMENBE DAy's WORK.—The Philadel
phia Evening Star thus speaks of itself Is
only simple Justice to our splendid Bullock print
ing-press to record, with our biggest and most
n ppreciative adjectives, the wonderful feat It or
accomplished on Wednesday last. The history of
joutnalism in this country records no other in
stance wherein a single printing press, in a single
day, turned out so many; as 103,081 perfect copies
of a newspaper, and we seriously question If the
Old World, whiCh is far behind the New In print
ing machinery, has ever dreamed of such a mar
vel !
On the day of Twitchell'a suicide we issued
05,000 papers, which was properly considered an
extraordinary thing—in fact something unprece
dented for an evening paper. Yet that was lac
complhbed with two presses—a Hoe press, throw
ing out 11,000 extras per hour, and the German
Democrat's admirable Bullock machine, whose
capacity was twice as large ; and on that day some
50,000 of the papers were merely "half-sheets."
On this occasion there wan none of that. gvcry
paper Walt a perfect copy. It was ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning before the preliminary shriek
and snort from our wean room gave notice that
"the Bullock" was starting on his Journey, with
five miles of white paper coiled tightly on his
back Round and round the track he spun, spit
ting out the printed sheets like fount from his
nostriD, and reeling off the tons of virgin paper as
light'pas a wizard pulls the endless silken ribbon
front bin mouth! lie kept his breathless gait all
day without a pause, save once, when his Iron
sinews gave signs of stiffening, and his trusty
keepers halted hint a spell to oil his aching Joints.
Well done, brave Little Giant ! New York, with
all her vauntings, cannot hold course with thee!
We give the whole world odds and put thy speed

Incendiaries at Work---Several Barns
On Tuesday evening of last week au alarm
of lire was raised and the companies were
soon out with the machines. The America Hose,
we believe, was the first out and as there was no
light to be seen then the few members at the house
had a hard tug to pet the carriage through the
snow aud the sidewalk brigade refused assistance,
believing the alarm to be false. lint soon the
misty atmosphere In the West End grew roseate,
and as the lurid flames shot up into the sky,
brightenlug up the mist and lighting the city for
several squares, great excitement was created and
a large crowd hastened to the scene of conflagra
tion. The location of the fire proved to be on the
rear of the premises, on Hamilton street near
Tenth, and commenced In a large frame barn be

them. The next adjoining My.Selder's barn, sees

we think so.

TILE EFFECT OF THE COAL 81.18VENSION
rum , : TIIE IRON Wortws.—A correspondent at Cat
asauqua sends the following to the New York
Tribune :—The continued suspension of labor by
the anthracite coal miners is producing nu effect
that perhaps the Workingmen's Benevolent Asso
ciation, nud the coal operators generally, have
hardly taken into consideration. Their action Is
based on the Idea that, while they produce no
coal, Its consumption daily goes on, the coal in
In market will soon be burnt up, and then up goes
the price. But how Is It with the large coal con
sumers of the Lehigh Valley 7 In this valley there
are some 34 blast furnaces, aggregating an aver
age consumption of 14,000 tans of anthracite coal
each week. It la well known that the coal opera
tors of the Lehigh, Mahoney, Upper Lehigh, and
Wilkesbarro Districts rely on these and other fur
nace for consuming the bulk of their lump coal.
At the present price of pig iron, there is little or
no profit in Its manufacture, and mussy of the large
Icon companies therefore will gladly seize the
scarcity of coal as a convenient opportunity for
going out of blast, and, when ouce out, they will
probably remain so until a reduction in the wages
of their own woi kmen has been obtained. Already
two furnaces at Bethlehem, one at Allentown, one
at llokendatupia and one at Copley have blown
Out, and It Is known that a number of others are
preparing to follow their example. These five
furnaces represent the production of 1,000 tons of
pig Iron, and the consumption of 2,000 tons of
coal (In round numbers) weekly.
The rolling-mills of the valley have hitherto
used anthracite coal largely and ex clusivuly. The
Catasauqua Manufacturing Company, who own
two large mills In this place, arc now using semi
bituminous coal entirely, and so much to their
'Satisfaction that It is a question with them whether
they will return to the use of anthracite when it
can be obtained. It Is understood that the largo
rail-mills at Allentown and Bethlehem are also
using hugely of the Fame kind of coal. To con
clude, there Is hardly a doubt but that the con
tinued suspension of coal production, If continued
two or three weeks longer, will cause three-fourths
of the furnaces in this valley now in blast to sus
pend operations.
[That part referring to the blowing out of the
blast furnaces is, we think, an exaggeration. The
stacks of the 13okendauqua, Allentown and Beth
lehem Iran works were blown out because the dull
nose of the iron trade afforded a good opportunity
to make repairs. The Thomas stack, which was
blown out, had been working over five years and
one of the Bethlehem stacks about seven years.—

Savored of gossip or sea ndal ; or anything else
that was Improper. In proof of this, only the
other night,—Wednesday, we think,—an incident
occurred in this city, not a hundred miles from
Centro Square, which would have been ravenously
seized upon by journalists of a less conscientious
turn of mind and paraded before the public in the
Sunniest style, and yet we have sald.nothing about
It. It might have appeared thusly German,

arrived on Sunday. Monday it was talked about
and Wednesday It was one of the things of the

the Teuton, noble descendant of a nobler race,
could not get the thing through his head for a
long time. He worked sedulously and energetic
ally all day Monday, all day Tuesday, all day
Wednesday, and when the orb of day was sinking
wearily to rest in the western horizon, totally
overcomo with the slowness of the Teuton, the
Idea made an Impression upon the other side of
the poor man's skull. Oh, what a moment It was
for hint. Ile saw the triumph of the Vateriand,
her proud position among the nations,of the earth.
A happy thought seized him. He would take a
drink. He rushed madly to the combat and beered.
He sang and beered again. Again be sang and I
again he beered. And he burred, and he beered,
and beered again. Beer will not Intoxicate, never.
And blasted be the tongue of him who says it will.
It's ennobling, nud to the sleepy Teuton teaches
honor. Our hero drank the ennobling beverage
and in him, like a mighty spirit from the' other
world, honor arose ! He could see now what he
could not see before. In the hour of his country's

LEHIGH VALLEY INDUSTRIES.
The Lehigh Iron conspnny's Works
and Business.
The Lehigh Iron Company, whose Works are
located Just below
, the city near the East Penn.
Junction, was incorporated In 1807. The charter
was obtained through the efforts of Mr. William
H. Ainey, the President of the Second National
Bank in this city, and the site selected for the
locution of the Works le regarded as one of the
best upon the river. The capital stock of the
Company Is $250,000, and the name "Lehigh"
was applied to the Company on account of the
fact that all the stockholders aro from this city
and county. It Is therefore emphatically a home
instltution,and,has a substantial claim to the name
"Lehigh Iron Company." The officers are as
follows : President and Treasurer, William 11.
Miley, Allentown; Secretary ; Lewis 11. Unger,
Allentown ; Directors, William 11. Aluay, Allen
town, Aaron Balliet, North Whitehall, Benjamin
S. Levan, Coplay, Martin Kemmerer, Allentown,
and Ana Balliet, Titusville. Furnace No. 1 was
commenced In 1807, immediately after the Incor
poration of the Company, and it was blown in In
the spring of 1860. The Furnace is flfty-six feet
high and sixteen feet bosh. Arrangements and
plans for the erection of another Furnace have
already been made, and should the iron business
assume a phase which would warrant and justify
the 'enlargement of the Works another stack
would at once be built.
The motive power of the Works consists of a
condensing, or low-pressure, lever-beam blowing
engine, with a steam cylinder forty-eight inches
In diameter and seven feet stroke, and a blowing
cylinder eighty-four Inches In diameter and seven
feet stroke. The Sy wheels are each twenty-four
feet In diameter, and the weight of the two is
58,000 pounds. This engine has a capacity for
blowing a pressure of nlue pounds per square inch,
while the capacity of the blowing engines gener
ally used in the Valley Is from live to seven pounds
per square inch. The builders were I. P. Morris,
Towne b Co., Philadelphia. The hot blast oven
'used In connection with this Furnace differs from
any other In use on the river, principally in size,
but: also in the arrangement of the pipes through
which the atmospheric air Is conducted for heat
ing before it Is upplled to the Furnace. The oven
, contains sixty-six doubleplpes, each of them four
teen feet high, and the burning of the waste gases
from the Furnace about these pipes heats the blast
to a very high temperature. These pipes stand
vertically to the bed pipe where the air from the
atmosphere Is Introduced, and they are arranged
In about the form of a horse shoe.- The size and
arrangement of this oven were planned by the
building committee who bad the construction of
the Furnace In charge, and It was made by Messrs.
Barber, Shearer dz Co., of this city. It Is one of
the largest hot blasts, If not the very largest,whlch
• has ever been constructed in the United States.
The blast and the bolters are heated here, as at
the various Works which ;have been heretofore
described, by the gases from the Furnace Itself.
The Company owns at the Furnace some forty
three and a half acres of land, and besides the
buildings cohnected with the Works the Compacy
owns about twenty dwelling homes which are
occupied by the workmen. The engine house,
stock house, casting house and the Furnace stack
proper are built of stone masonry. The Company
paid out for labor at the Works last year, exclu
sive of all labor at the mines and quarries, $25,000.
The consumption of material at the Works last
year was, lu round numbers, as follows: twenty
thousand tons of Hematite ore ; six thousand tons
of Magnetic ore ; twenty thousand tons of coal,
and sixteen thousand tons of limestone. The pro
duct was about ten thousand tons of Nos. 1 and 2
foundry iron. The Hematite ore is obtained from
cre beds lu Lehigh county, the Magnetic ore Is
obtained from New Jersey, the coal from the Le
high region, and the limestone is quarried on the
Company's laud at the Works. The Company Is
now working four Hematite ore mines and one
Magnetic ore mine, the latter being situated in
Bethlehem township, Huoterdon county, New
Jersey. Everything connected with the manage
ment of the Works and the sale of the iron pro.
deced Is:under the general personal charge and
direction of the President, Mr. Miley, and to aid
, him in attending to ibe numerous duties * devolving
• upon him a telegraph line has lately been con
' structed between his Wilco in the city and the
Works. Mr. Unger, the Secretary, has charge of
the Mike at the Furnace and of the books and
accounts of the Company; Mr. !Vattern:l Borts
has charge of the minlog.operatlons and the gen
eral outside work of the Furnace; Mr. Peril Knech
el has charge of the smelting department, and
Mr. William Mellen has charge of ao machinery.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.—OR Tuesday
night of last week, a man named William Thomas
was shot by a neighbor named Williams, at Storm
11111. It acorns that both had been indulging too
freely In liquor. They got into hand-to-hand
fights at intervals during the evening, but finally
separated,Williams being taken to his own home
and put to bed. Boon after Thomas fired a stone
Into the window of the house nt which Williams
was stopping and roused the latter from his hed,
and a new fracas began, which ended In the shoot
ing of Thomas in the left thigh. Ho was carried
home and died on Thursday morning. A post
mortem examination of the body was held by two
doctors and the conclusion arrived at that the mnn
died of congestion of the left lung and not from
the effects of the shooting, and so the Coroner's
Jury found. Our correspondent has mixed up his
account of the affair, so that it is difficult to get
at thenames of all the actors In it, but the tnatter
seams one that should be looked after by the au
thorities. When a man is shot, falls to the ground
and is carried home helpless, and dies within 48
hours, there is a smell of foul ploy that should
bo sifted as the law directs.—Mauch Cl k Dem
