A few days ago, at the large furnace caded
"Union Deposit Fnrnacc," situated in South
Ilanover township, Dauphin county, Fa., a ter
rible accident occured.. It appears that while
several persons were about the furnace, the
hot metal came . running out in torrents, so
unexpectedly that the five persons were liter
ally showered over with the liquid fire, imme
diately setting their clothing on fire and bur
ning them'in a dreadful and. shocking man
ner. Some of the untornate men jumped
into tbe canal, and others Into the water tub .
but this proved all unavailing they were so
dreadfully bnrned that no human help could
save them. , John Baler, David Lawns, W.

since died from their wounds, whilst Moses

vive his injuries. "

THE NEYV-VORK STEAM SAW-31ILL
AND MACHINE COMPANY. CAPITAL
S250.000 This company has been organixed with
the above capital for the purpose of supplying the
demand for tho Combination PORTABLE
STEAM SAW-MILL, and other Improved Ma
chinery. They have purchased the entire machine
ry business heretofore carried on oy J. limer
son & C., also the Montgomery works at Yonkers,
on the Hudson, near this city, and with the expe-
rience and facilities combined in its organisation
arc prepared to furnish machinery of all kinds at
more liberal rates, than has ever been offered at
any other establishment.
THE COMBINATION SAW-MILL, waspatented
October, 1S5, and is now generally acknowledged
to be tho cheapest, most practical, and emoient
lumber manufacturing machine in the world. A
large number of them are ia succcssal eperatioa
n different sections oi this country, Canada, tuba,
and South America, and wherever their merits
have been tested they aro being adopted by lumber
manufacturers in preference to all other mills.
The lollowing letter expresses me general opin
ion of those who are using the Combination Mill :
Messrs. Emeusox Co Gentlemen : 1 have triea
the saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that
it performs well, and more man meets my expec
tations. I am well pleased with its performance.
I set it up on a small stream tkat afforded constant
. .... ..... r- 1 - .
water about as tnic-K as my niue nnger, which
much more than sufficient to supply the boiler.
We are able to cut 3,000 feet of beautitul lumber in
12 hours, with something leas than ono cord of
wood. It is the very thing we have needed in our
county for a long time. W ith a little trouble and
expense, wo are able to move it from five to te
miles per day, and set u up ui iuo uci.ui ;u
timber, whion saves mo great uurucu vi uuuug
the logs a long distanco to the mill.
Yours, respectluiiy, jisse ivkrb,j.,
Louisville. Tennese.
