/ President Jones has issued his proclamation
converting Congress on the 10th of June to take
into consideration the proposition of anneXa-

The Civilian and Galveston Gazette makes
the following remarks upon the subject:

! proposition for annexation, contained in Mr..

There appears to be no doubt that the pro-
Jet of annexation will be accepted on the part
OF Texas.

DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM. On Monday

Republican, one of the most destructive hail
storms passed over our village-destroying
vast quantity of window glass, uprooting trees,
Frustrating fences, and doing various other da-
mage to a large amount-some of the oldest
inhabitants of this place state that they never
knew so severe storm and never saw such
large hail.
IRON Works AT HARRlsBURG. The Harris
burg Argus says Mossrs David R. Porter, late
Governor of the State, and Michael Burk, are
now nearly ready to blow in their Anthracite !
Furnace, which is now in progress of building. !
This furnace is located upon the Canal basin,
and is one Of the largest kind. 1t is calculated
to make 1000 tons of iron annually, consuming
$4,000 tons of anthracite COAL about $4,000
tons oiiron ore, and 1000 tons of limestone.
