a man about As years of age, accom- pa
MED by young lady, stopped at the Ma

that he was going out to do some busi-
ness, and would be back soon. On his
way out he called in the bar>room and
borrowed from Mr.. Lennebccker, the pre-

made from eight to ten dollars per ton

process is not mentioned, but the quality
OF the iron produced is spoken of. The

was put to the sevcrest test, by putting
it while hot, into cold water; after which
they tried to break it with sledge ham
mer weighing 80 pounds. Forty blows
were given by six men alternately, and
they could not even crack it. The Char
