THE FIRST FURNACE IN PENN

A writer, in (he 'Actional Magazine

Masters of Lancaster county; He states
thai the first furnacn , which was erected

in ueiks county, which was burnt in
1730, and ihe Warwick, in 173C; and
he latter stack has remained unchanged

Th Cornwall furnace,io Lebanon coun

enrichod all its Lie proprietors was
built in the year 1741 2, by Peiet
Grubb, then of Chester county, Pa. The
slack was 32 feet high, and 21 feet
squcre at the base, and 1 1 feet square a

inches long 5 feel 10 inches across the
breeeh and 1 fool 2 inches at the inser

A Convention in Vjhgima. The
question of calling a Convention lu a
mend Ihe constitution of this State r
under discussion, and much variety ol
opinion was entertained. The western
poition of ihe State is almost univer

vision is said a majori'y is opposed lo
Convention. There is no amendalor
clause in Ihe present Constitution; so
'ha; it cannot be amended without call-
fcog a Convention. The slrugg'es which
were made du, ing ihe last convention
(in 1829J in regard to Ihe basis of rep
resentation whether it should be Ihe

ted lo produce some apprehension aboul
