.9ppieS. -Mr. Robert Livingston Pell,
Of Pelham, Ulster county, N. Y. has an
orchard of Newlown pippins, comprising
twenty thousand llourishing trees, from
which he has been enabled 10 gather and
pack, this year, nearly four thousand
barrels; all Of which are preparing for
shipment TO Europe, Cuba, China, and
other distant countries. They are sold
| in New York, by his commission mer-
chant, at sIX-dolIars per barrel, as fast as
they arrive by the boats from the farms.
A common aad slovenly mode Of packing
apples, says the Commercial, is TO shake
them from the tree, throw them in bar
reIs good and bad together, and head
them up. The consequence is tina, they
decay after few days confinement in the
hold Of ship. The pelham fruit" on
the contrary, is packed by hand carefully
selected, and laid in barrels and until
placed in the hold Of the vessel, is nelh-
er rolled nor carted-consequentlv there
is scarcely a risk Of injury. The fine
order in which this fruit has arrived in
England heretofore has obtained for i, an
envlable reputation and a higher price
than any o'her-iwo very important re-
qulsiles for the shippers.

Iron.

Iron, it is said, is found in every state
in The union.
A correspondent! of the New York
Gazette, in giving sketch OF The metal
ic resources of the United States, saws
that the mos, valuable iron mine IS one
IN Salisbury, Conn, which Yields 3,000
tons annually. The mines IN Duchess
and Columbia counties, n. Y, produce
annually 10000 tons of ore; Essex
county 800 Clinton 5000; franklin
600; ST. Lawrence 1000; amounting
in value to more than $500 900.
The value of the iron produced in the
United States in 1895 was $4,000, 900
in 1897, S7,700,00p. In Ohio, 1000
square miles are underlald with iron. A
region explored in 1888 would furnish
iron 81 miles long aud 6 miles wide
square mile would yield 1900, 600 tons
of pig iron--so that this district would
contain 1850, 900, 600 tons. BY taking
from this region 10000 tons annually,
Ia larger quantity than England produced
previous to 1920 it would last 1900
years AS long a distance, certainly as
any man looks ahead, or would desire a
lease.
The states Of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Indiana, Illinois. Marylan and Virginia.
possess lnxhaustabe quantities of iron
ore. In Tennessee 100000 tons are
said to be annually manufactured, though
Notwithstanding our great iron resources.
