The Iron District.

The iron district, which spreads through New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Western Vir-
ginia, traverses regions exuberant with coal, and
abounding in water-power; and, travelling further
west we find in Ohio, Kentucky and particularly in
Missouri immense stores of metaiferious wealth,
adjacent to the most fertile agricultural districts.
1t is 10 Pennsylvania however, we must chiefly
direct our attention, where two fifths of all the
iron in the United States is made. The United
States contain $4,000 square miles of coal, which
is about sixteen times as great as the coal meas
ures Of Europe. A single one of these gigantic
masses runs from Pennsylvania TO Alabama, and
must embrace, itself, $4,000 square smiles. Out
of fifty counes Of Pennsylvania no less than thir-
y have coal and iron in them; and out of the 49,
600 square miles of Pennsylvania which form su-
perficles, there are 10000 miles of coal and iron
while all Great Britain and Ireland have only g.
OOO--so that Pennsylvania alone has an area OF
coal and iron five time as great as that of Great
Britain The quality of the coal or iron is as rich
as that Of Great Britain, and they have the advan-
tage Of lying near the water-level; while those OF
the latter country are sometimes more than one
thousand feet below the surface, and are excaVa-
ted through subterranean passages.

Something for the Doctors.

A journal of Richmond, (Eng) records the fol-
lowing case of death under extraordinary circum-
stances. We copy it as hint to medical men of
some interest and importance Sc A policeman
died in the Richmond hospital, a few days since.
from the effects of terrible disease, after five
days illness. 1t supposed the disease was COM
municated to him by drinking water from a buck
ct which carman had been supplying to horse.
After some hours, the disease began to manifest
itself, and the unfortunate man conveyed to
Richmond hospital in state Of great pain. The
medical men did not for some time, understand
the nature of his complaint, but as the symptoms
became more decided on rigid inquiry they came
the conclusion that the patient had horse far
cy," and in order to prove their opinions, horse
was inoculated with some ofthe matter taken from
a pustule, and in short time he died. There was
a post mortem examination held on the man by an
eminent surgeon of this city, who was so appre-
hensive of disease, that he performed the operation
with gloves on. Frightful as the external appear.
ance of the unfortunate mans body was, the inter
nal was still more shocking; the stomach, heart
and liver being covered with ulcers, and all in a
high state of inflammation. This is amongst the
very few authenticated facts, which prove that the
disease is communicable to man

The examination of M'Nulty's accounts very
clearly confirms the impression that he was "a
whole -souled fellow" for he poured out the peo-
Piles money as if 1t was water. His particular
friends, Secor & Co., shine out in broad relief,
and instead Of that house holding $4,000 Of pub
lie money M'Nulty alleged, it turns out that
Secor & Co., furnished supplies to that amount.
The question will be asked at what cost did hs
furnish the supplies! A few items will exhibit
the fair business transaction; 5000 quills at SO
per thousand, the fair selling price would be abont
$50 for the very best quality; SO reams letter pa
per $4,7o, the fair price would be SO; $50 reams
flat cap paper at SO, worth 81; waters at &c IL
cents per pound, worth 45; 23S gallons oil at ST.

through the invoice. 1t may be asked why is the
United States to be charged higher for supplies
than the fair market price-why if there is fraud
contemplated should the people be selected to prac-
tice it upon! 1t is time for these political con-
tractors to understand that these depredatons upon
the government not to be sanctioned or APP
proved--that they are criminal and should subject
those who practice them, to punishment.

The Wheat Insect.

We find a letter in the New York Mirror, from
Mr. R. S. Pell, dated March 7th, which gives the
following facts as having occurred on his farm
near the city. 1t is, no doubt, matter of much
interest to the agriculturists.
In the spring of "A, Iplaced bag containing
half bushel of white flint wheat, in seed draw
er, under glass, and near the furnace of my green
house. On the 9th of March, 1s45, opened the
bag, and to my surprise found thousands OF living
insects, such as are now presented you--some
we're on the point of leaving the kernel, others
were just commencing to eat through, and many
were perfectly formed, and running about in all
directions.
"Six years ago was in the habit of soaking
nv early grains in salt brine, foE the purpose of
destroying the egg of the insect, which l assured
nv neighbours, much to their amusement ard un-
belief ,oas ensconced in the kernel. Now, by ac-
cident the fact is made manifest This insect
would not have appeared until June, perhaps, had
the wheat been sown. The warm situation ii oc-
cuped in the green house brought it thus early to
maturity"
