As the Utile tatm of Danville has thought 1
proper to catechise us, we woulJ take the
liberty of propounding to him a few ques
tions, not that we expect civil answers, or
even any unless it be a direct insult to tho
upper portion or tho county, but to show
him that others can ask questions as well as
himself.
Why did Burd Patterson, after he had
purchased ore lands in Danville, within
four miles of Roaring Creek Furnace, pur
chase lands in Bloomsburg ten miles distant
to supply it with ore T
Why is it that all the Iron masters, far
and near, prefer Bloomburtr .ore to that
mined in Danville?
If " transportation is always considered
the heaviest item in the bill of expense,1'
why is Danville the best scito for the man
ufactory of Iron in Columbia county, when
they havo to transport coal ten mile3 further
than we do.
If it cost fifteen dollars a day, besides the
wear and tear, and interest on original cost,
to drivo n Steam Engine of sufficient
power to blow one Furnace, while the daily
cost of water power is mere nothing inde
pendent of original cost, why is it that
steampowcr is cheaper and better then
permanent .water power !
Why is it, if Danvillo has so many ad
vantages over Bloomburg, that the manufac
turerers procure their lima stone, which is
no small item in the expense, from Bloom
township I
If Danvills is m tho centre ot tho iron
region of Columbia connty, and ho has no
fears of competition from other portions
why docs he endeavor to underato the ad
vantages of other sections, and more cspe
niallv the water power of Fishinn Creek !
THE TAX BILL. ' '
This bill as it came from tho House of
Representatives, yesterday passed two read
inrs in tho Senato without amendment. It
will undoubtedly pass a third reading to
daraud become a law. The credit of tho
state will immediately revive, both at homo
and abroad.
The legislature will undoubtedly adjourn
as soon ns 1 uesday next, if nut before ; be
fore which we trust the Senate will pass tho
bank bill and tho supplement to the apper
tionment bill;
THE IMPROVEMENT BILL.
The House yosterday concurred in the
amendments made in Senate to this bill, so
that it now only wants the signature ef the
Governor to become a law. We gave tho
bill in a late paper as it passed the House
and we belicvo the principal amendment
made in senate to it, was that moved by
Charles Ur.owN, fcsn. to exempt tho uni
ted States Bank from the obligation of loan
ing the money at 4 per cent, and ordering
it to be borrowed by tho Governor at an in
tcrest not exceeding u per cent.

KASE& BEItGSTRESSER'S IRON FOUtf.
DRY.
This establishment was started some two
years since, in Danvillo, by Mr. Simon P,
Kase, upon a cheap and economical scale,
the first bulidings being merely temporary
sheds, with horse power, and evory thing
on the cheapest plan, for a beginn tig.
Subsequently Mr. Kase and Mr. Let Berg
stressor formed a partnership in tho Foun
dry business. Their business soon became
so extensivo and promising, that they were
induced to embark in tho erection of more
extended and costly worksthe principle
shed had to give way to a well planned and
spacious two and a half story, frame build
ing tho horso power is superceded by an
excellent steam engine, and all the fixtures
and facilities for executing orders in their
line of business, greatly enlarged and im
proved. They no v run off in castings, as
high as twenty-five hundred weight of
metal per day. A more extended notice of
their enterprising operations will bo given
hereafter. Danville Intelligencer.
LEAD MINE VALUABLE DISCO
VERY. A valuable vein of the above mineral was
recently discovered by the workmen, who
wero engaged in qnarrying limestone on the
land of Messis. Sesholtz and Bcrgstresser,
about two miles below Sunbury. The spe
cies ore discovered, is, what mineroligists
term Galena or the Sulphurat of lead, the
most valuable and productive of all ths lead
ores, and in fact tho only kind that occurs
in sufficient quantities by itself, to justify
its working In appearance, it much re
sembles the oro at Galena, III. excepting
that here it occurs in a massive form while
the ore at Galena, wo believe, occur princi
pally in cules.
The vein, which appears to be about
two feet in thickness, traverses a large body
of compact limestone which foims, at that
place, a bold and precipitous rock, washed
by the Susquehanna. The breadth or ex
tent of tho vein, has not yet been fully as
certained, but so far as it has been exposed
in presents a breast of about sixteen feet
in breadth. Some of the specimens that
wo havo seen, teem to be equally as rich as
the best oro at Galena, and wilt en an aver
age, we think, yield from 00 to 70 percent.
Several persons from the neighborhood
have melted the ore in a common iron la
dle and cast bullets of pure metal. Suubu-

HORRID MURDER
The Hellidaysburg Standatd givts the
following account of a shocking outrago
perpetrated in Huntingdon county :
A man of tho namo of Brown, who re
sides with his family near Jacks Mountain,
had been from home part ot tho week, and
on returning to his homo on Saturday even
ing, found his door fast, and on trying to
get in ho heard a shot Irom a guu and
on turning round, (tninKing tne snot
was fired at him) another gun went off, the
ball glazed his face and passed through his,
ear. He saw the smoke of the gun at his
barn: and ran towards it. He saw two men
run from tho barn, but did not get near c
nough to identity them, un climbing up
into the hay loft, from whence tho smoke
proceeded, be founnu his two rules, and al
so the key of the door. He relumed to the
house, and on opening it found his wile and
oldest son (21 years of agej murdered the
rest of the family missing.
He gave the alarm to his next neighbors,
who turned out to hunt the rest of the fami
ly. On the next day (Sunday,) he found
four of his children murdered, two shot,ono
with its throat cut, and the other with its
brains knocked out. They were found in
different directions, evidcntally flying for
saefty, but were overtaken and butchered in'
this most fiendish manner.
Thus perished six of this unfortunate fam
ily the mother and fivo children, tho lat
ter of whom were between 21 and 10 years
of age. The father is badly wounded in
the face, but will probably recover.
Suspicion rcfets on a man by tho name of
McUonaugliery, n son-in-law ol ilr. Brown
who is in jail at Huntingdon.
THE FRESHET IN THE BANANNAH
RIVE "J.
A slip from'the Charleston Courier, con
taining accounts from Augusta and. Ham
burg to '.he 30th May. represents the devas
tation at those places fully equal to what
had been at first stated. The rail-road was
less injured than was previously supprscd.
At Aiken the water flowed rapidly through
the town, and was so high that it covered
the floors of the second stories in almost all
the houses. It roso too rapidly to allow of
saving any thing Irom below
At Augusta many houses were carried a
way, and many brick tenements underlain
ed and tlirown down. 1 ho streets were
torn up, and large holes washed in them,
The town is nearly destroyed, and many
merchants entirely ruined-.
Amidst this fearful calamity and the con
stant danger which surrounded tho inhabi
tants, it is remarked, as a singular fact
that the life of.no white person is known to
be lost.
Some of the Federal Harrisonian papers
are fiercely angry at the i'residsnt for hav
ing Introduced the ten-hour system among
the workmen on tho public buildings at
Washington. They would prefer that the
government should take care of the rich, that
the rich should take care of the poor. This,
however, is not the creed of out democratic
Picsident. Tho Boston Daily Advertiser,
n Harrison paper,has the following' remarks
nbout tho matter:
" This id making a serious inroad upon
the long established habits of the industn
ous portions of our community. It appears
to us not very judicious, and cortainly not
very economical, for the President of the
United States by his judicial authority, to
introduce such a change in the usages of
tho country."
ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
We learn from Washington Globe, that
Mr. Rayner, a member of Congress from
North Carolina, n modern whig, waylaid
Mr. Montgomery, a democratic member,
and struck him repeatedly with a sword
cane; a conflict ensued in which the sword
came out of the cane and was secured by
interposing iriends, who succeeded in part
ing the combatants. Scenes like these are
highly disgraceful to our country and if not
stopped, will bring discredit upon our re
publican institutions. Gentlemen visiting
Washington, nave again and again express
ed a desiro that those favoring the federal
party, could be there to see the conduct of
their leaders in Congress: being assured,
that sincere friends of the republic would, on
sight, abandon the cause which , required
such eonduct to sustain it. '
The grand jury of Philadelphia, have in
