IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE IRON TRADE.
A British Journal says that Mr.. John Hard
ing, managing partner in the Beeston Manor
lronworks, Leeds, has just patented an i'm
proved method of freeing ironstone and other
metal ores from shale and other extraneous
matter. To those who are not acquainted
with the mode of winning iron stone and
preparing it for the blast furnace, it may be
necessary to premise that the non ole is i'm.
bedded in shale, which must be removed prior
to the ore being sent to the blast furnace.
Hitherto this has been accomplished by
spreading the ore upon the surface, and sub
Jecting it to the action of the weather until
the shale is sufficiently loosened to allow of
its being Clipped or mapped of the ore by
manual labor. This is work of months and
years, and it is not only long but also
costly process, in consequence OF the number
OF men necessarily employed in spreading,
chopping, &c. Mr.. Harding's discovery dis.
penses altogether with the necessity of sub.
jecting the ore to the action of the air, and
by the application of steam accomplishes in
two or three hours, that which has previously
occupied one or two years.

AN IMMENSE ORGAN.-The great organ
placed in the Town Hall at Liverpool. is one
OF the marvels of musical mechanism, 1t
consists of four rows of keys, sixty.three
notes, and two octaves and half of pedals,
thirty notes. There are one hundred and
eight stops and eight thousand pipes, varying
in length from thirty-two feet to three eighths
OF an inch, ten octaves apart. The grand
source of wind is from two immense bellows,
each having three feeders, placed in the vault
below the floor of the hall. These are blown
by steam engine, consisting of pair of os-
cillating cylinders. There are besides twelve
other bellows or reservoirs, each giving its
own appropriate pressure of air to those stops
or pipes which it supplies The pneumatic
lever is applied to each of the manuals dis
tinctly, or separately to manual couplers To
the pedal organ there is double set of pneu-
matte levers, but the most elaborate use of
this power is found in its application to the
combination Of stops-it being exhibited in a
compound form to each organ Individually, and
to the whole collectively, where, by one op-
Grafton, the player is enabled to produce
combination of stops upon the entire instru-
ment at once.

The lynching of two murderers at Leavenworth
(Kanzas) is another OF the fsuits Of administra-
ton Encouragement in that Territory. When
Judge Lecompte undertook to make the popu-
lace wait for the action of the courts, he was in
terrupted with boots and sneers, and one man
made the suggestive remark, 1--WE don't want
any more Fugit trials" Another said, az pris-
oner got clear here, the other day, by paying

might well suppose that judge who was corrupt
enough to connive at the murder of Free State
men by Missouri rufians would not hesitate to
release non political offenders.

ACCIDENT IN HoLDEN.-On Saturday morning
last, man named Nathan Howe, in Holden,
about fifty years of age, says the Bay State, went
into his MILL where there is grindstone, to
grind his scythe. 1t was dark in the room where
the stone was placed, and after he had let the
water on the wheel, in some manner his feet got
entangled in the horizontal belt which turns the
stone, when his legs were drawn up on the shaft,
breaking both of them in two places, above and
below the knee. the bone protruding in both. Mr..
Howe was obliged to submit to the amputation Of
one of his limbs, which was performed by Dr. Gage
of this city.

Power OF SEA BREAKERS. From expert
ments made some time since at the Bell Rock
& Skerryvore lighthouse on the coast of Scot
land, it was found that while the force of
the breakers on the side of the German Ocean
may be taken at ton and half upon every
square foot of surface exposed to them, the
Atlantic breakers fall with double that weight,
or three tons to the square foot, and thus a
surface of only two square yards sustains
blow from heavy Atlantic breaker equal to
about hfty-tour tons. In November, 1924, a
heavy gale blew, and blocks of limestone and
granite from two to five tons in weight, were
washed about like pebbles at the Plymouth
breakwater A block of limestone, seven
tons in weight, was in one place washed a
distance OF $50 feet. block of two tons,
strongly trenailed down upon jetty, was torn
away and tossed upwards by an overpowering
breaker.

CosT OF ONE DAYS LABoR-A novel case
was decided before the Superior Court TODAY,
1t was the case of Jarvis VS.. Joseph White, of
Marlboro. An action was brought before
Justice Foote, of Marlboro, to recover for one
days labor at haying. The Justice rendered
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for 81.
Mr.. White (delendant) appealed to the July
term of the Superior Court for 1856. 1t was
put over to the December term, and then r,
Gilbert, Esq, of Hebron, was appointed an
Auditor of the case. The Auditor heard
the case about the first of June last in He.
bron, and awarded to the plaintiff ST. ,25, and
made his report to the March term of the Su-
periori Court, then in session. The case was
then put over to the present term of the
Court to allow the defendant to demonstrate
against the report. The case came up, and
judgment was rendered in favor of the plain
tiff. Curtis with double costs, amounting to
$l40,42. Rather steep price for one DAVIS
work, even at haying. The value of the time
that has been wasted by those persons who
have attended upon this case, we are not able
to state. But the cost of that DAYS work
alone amounted to enough to purchase a
moving machine that would cut eight acres
per day, or it would have paid for moving
nearly ninety four acres of grass, at the rate
Of 5 l,50 per acre. But these are matters OF
no particular consequence, when we take into
consideration the fact that this is a free coun-
try. Hartford Times.
