upwards of three hundred and thirty-thre
thousand tons During the year 1857.

inventions which have ever been made

coal. The advantages ofsuch a stove are
almost too obvious to be mentioned. TAX

every variety Of carriage, and are partic~
ularIy well adapted to railroad cars The

OHIO AND MICHIGAN BOUNDARY
We shall lay before the public, in a few
days, the report made on Tuesday, in tho
Senate, by Mr. Clayton, from the commit
tee on the judiciary, on the interesting SUBJ
Ject OF the northern boundary of Ohio
1t is document which discusses all the
questions connected with the MICHIGAN
and Ohio controversy, and fully sustains
the principle of the bill to establish the
boundary by the line from the southern
extreme of Lake Michigan to the most
northerl y cape of the Miami Bay. The
committee unanimous y agreed that Con-
gress has the power thus TO settle the
boundary, and that it is expedient so to
settle it. The results of the investigation
by this committee at the present session,
are the same with those at which the same
committee of the Senate, though different
Iy constituted has twice before unanimous
Iy arrived. The reading of the report
occupied more than an hour, and 5000
extra copies of it were ordered to be print
cd. Since this report was made in the
E Senate, we understand that the judiciary
committee of the House have reported on
the same subject. Their report made
yesterday Wednesday, arrives, it is said,
at the same general result, and was made
with nearly equal unanimity-Not Int.
