Iron for Building Purposes.

Iron is rapidly taking the place Of other
building materials in costly edifces where
strength, durability, and freedom from damage
by fires are specially sought for. The inside
work of the new Custom House, and the beams,
&c, of the Court House in this city, show the
great advantages of iron over other materials.
The iron fronts on the business streets of Balti-
more, Philadelphia, &c, are at once elegant
and durable, and are multiplying about as fast
as old structures give place to modern improve
ments. The iron fronts put up in Pittsbarg
this season are very creditable, and one going
up OH Fifth street is said to be the most elegant
iron front in the United States The design is
very tasty and massive.
For column and bridge purposes iron is tax

country, are being finished in Cincinnati. They
are for the State House at Madison, Wisconsin,

speeiaI Election in Old Berks:

The election in old Berks, Pa, to supply the
place of the defeated, promoted, and resigned
Jehu Clancy Jones, takes place on the sOth
inst. The contest wakes warm. Jael R. War
ner is the Lecompton nominee, and Gen. W
H. Kiem the Opposition candidate. The Le-
comptonites base their hopes of success on the
small vote by which Jones was defeated, and on
the fact that Warner is not personally SO obnox-
iOus as Jones had made himself by his course
in Congress. Gen. Keim intends to give him a
close run and if possible come in a few lengths
ahead. The Administration hopes to wipe out
the disgrace of the defeat of the Presidents

the State. The term is but a short one, expir-
ing on the 4th of March next

Canadian ministers in Court.

A singular case for this continent is now on
the tapis at Toronto, before the Court of Com
mon Pleas It is State Trial. Three mem
bers of the Canadian Ministry, Messrs Macdon-
aid, Smith and Van Koughnet, have been pros
ecuted by member of the brief Brown Cabi-
net, for holding their offices without an election
BY the people The circumstances are, that last
Summer the Macdonald ministers were defeated
in Parliament and in accordance with English
custom resigned. Mr.. Brown, the leader of the
Opposition in the House, was called upon by
Gov Head to form a new Ministry, and did SO.
The House expressed want of confidence in
the Brown administration as soon aa vote
could be taken, and resignation followed. An
other Cabinet was formed, the Macdonald ms
teres5 being restored Three former members
took ministerial office again, without appealing
to the country" This is contrary to British
law, and suits have been brought against the
members above named to recover the heavy
penalty in such cases made and provided The
abIest counsel in Canada has been employed on
both sides, and the case excites much interest.

the good things to unpsmpered palates, and the

be duly grateful for "Original packages" as well
fragmentary contributions.
The School will be in session at half past one

nd 1ibrary Association Lectures

Cleveland Library Association Lectures
The Lecture season before the Young Mems
Christian Association opened brilliantly. The
course before the Cleveland Library Assoeia-
ton commences this evening with equal attrac-
tions. Lieut. MAURY whose home is with the
winds and on the sea, will deliver the first of
his four Lectures, embracing the following sub
jects The Atlanti, Telegraph; On the High
ways and Byways of the Sea; On extending to
the Lakes System of Meteorological Observa-
tions for the benefit of Lake Commerce Navi-
CATION; and, On the Workshops and Harmc-
MES of the Sea.
Lieutenant MATHEW F. MAURY is native of
Virginia. In early life he obtained Midship-
mans commission and made his first cruise on
the Brandywine Afterwards he was transfer
red to the Vincennes, and before his twentieth
year had ciIcumnavigated the Globe, Trans
ferred as Lieutenant to the Potomac, while at
sea he prepared a work on Navigation, which
was published about the year 1885. The same
year Lieut.. II. was appointed Astronomer to the
South Sea Exploring Expedition, bat declined
the appointment. He was then appointed to
the charge of the collection ofbooks and charts
belonging to the United States Government
His labors connected with this appointment
mainly contributed to the establishment of the
National Observatory and Hydrographical Of
fee, now known as the Naval Observatory, and
which he is at the head
Lieut.. MAURT's Physical Geography of the
Sea was published in 1855, and the work has
given him worldwide reputation. He is en-
inently practical man, night and day work
er, and by his systematic plans and persever-
ance he has made the ships bearing the flags
of Christendom and the winds that fill their
sails, contribute to the progress of science, the
mapping of the Oceans, and the revealment of
the laws which govern the clouds above and
depths below. Crowded houses we trust await
his Lectures, for we know they will richly
merit them

kissing and Making Up.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald states that overtures are being made on
the part of the friends ofDouglas, to the friends
of the Administration, to adjust the difficulties
existing between the President and Senator
Douglas, and it is believed they will be success
full.
The reunion is possible but hardly probable,
so long as the terms prescribed by the organ of
the Administration, are to be nominated in the
bond. The Washington Union closes late
article upon Democratic le-union, as follows:
1t is for the belligerent minority to choose
the relations that shall subsist between them
selves and the party which they have wounded,
outraged, and insuIted; but who are capable of
even yet forgiving and forgetting. There is
one thing, however, to be borne in mind. The
relations must be positive one way or the 9TH
er. There must be eitker peace or war. The
minority must disdain to attempt the part of the
Bat during the battle of the Beasts and Birds
Whichever side in the contest they espouse
they must embrace it with all their hearts; and
if they shall choose the better part of returning
to the hospitible embraces of the Democracy,
they must testify their sincerity by their works
