clear title, but the mere right to purchase such title

this purchase to bring the trust fund into productive

Revolution. fthese be sound POSITIONS there is very
short way Of showing that the equity in the remainder

The following is extracted from the
London Mechanics Magazine:
ST. Georges Church Liverpool, is an
object of considerable interest for its taste,
and as having been nearly the first iron
church erected in Great Britain.
Tho whole Of the frame work Of the
windows, doors, groins, roofs, pulpit, or
namental enrichmenis, are Of cast iron.-
The length is 1l9 feet, the breadth Al it,
1t is ornamcnted by splendid cas-, iron
window, of stained glass.
1t is not perhaps, generally known that
great proportion of the large manufac-
tories erected in England, within the last
ten years, are all iron except the walls
And within two years past, several Gotta
ges and villas have been put up near Lon
don, which are exclusively cast Iron,
walls, doors, steps, roofs, chmneys, sash
&c.
In England, where wood is dear and
iron Is cheap, the first cost Of such build
lngs is less than those oftimber. In dura-
bllIty and beauty, they are Of course une-
qualled. When once finished, sech build
Ings require no repairs; and the mos, fine
y carved ornaments cost little more than
plain castings.
In Pennsylvania, some movements to-
wards Introducing iron buildings have been
made. The front Of the Miners Bank at
PottsviIIe, including steps and ornamental
work, is cast iron. and is described as ex-
tremely neat. The iron erected about ten
years ago is now said to be as fresh as ev-
er. In some of the public md private
buildlngsof Philadelphia, iron facings have
been substituted for marble with good sue
cess. -NeUbnryport Herald
