The report that Mrs. Hartung the muir
deress, was deranged, and had been sent to
the Auburn, n. Y, Insane Asylum, turns out
to be an extra sharp attempt on the part of
the Syracuse Journal to April-fool some

paper of the standing of the Journal to be
engaged in.

The New Council.


Saturday evening last Mayor Baker took
his seat, and called the new council to order,
and the following councilmen appeared:
z. H. Cook, First Ward.
J. P. Elliott, Second Ward.
Samuel Orr, Third Ward
John Smith Gaviti, Fourth Ward
George Violin, Fifth Ward
A. P. Hutchinson, Sixth Ward.
Archibald Sullivan, Seventh Ward
Thos. Redmond, Eighth Ward
John Ivinson, Ninth Ward.
Previous to proceeding to business, the
Mayor made the following address to the
Council:
Gsntlemen Of the Common Council
In taking the place assigned to me at Jour
board this evening, do not intend to detain
you with anything like an elaborate adj
dress. I ana, perhaps, not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the duties of my Office to
make it either desirable or proper to do So.
At the proper time, after having made my
self acquainted with my duties, and with
the condition and wants of the city, I will
submit my views in detail
With reference, however, 70 the general
course of conduct which have marked out
for myself, | may remark that, so far as my
authority and influence extend, they will be
used to promote the following objects, viz:
First. Economy in every department Of
expenditure. And, in order to promote this
end, I will endeavor to become thoroughly
acquainted with the present condition and
wants of the city, so as to be able, at least,
to recommend for your considerations such
measures as | may consider best calculated
to promote economy and advance the pros
perity of the city.
Second. A strict accountability and atten-
ton to duty on the part of all city officers,
appointed by, or acting under the direction
or control of the Council. And, to secure
this result, will endeayor to become IA
miliar with the duties of the city officers
respectively, and will, as occasion may seem
| to require, counsel and advise them, freely
and frankly, and by all the means in my
| power, aid them in the proper discharge Of
| their several duties.
Third. ! shall constantly urge upon your
attention the necessity of equality of taxa
| ton.
Fourth. The duty of preserving the peace
| and good order of the city.
Intending thus to assume supervision OF
municipal affairs as general rs my authority
| and influence under the charter and ordi-
nances of the city may permit and require,
| it is proper to add that ! expect to be held
to strict accountability myself | expect
my official conduct to be severely criticised,
and condemned or approved, as it may de-
serve. / shall certainly be guilty Of many
shortcomings in matters of Judgment, but
promise you an earnest and continuedseffort
to avoid intentional errors.
Let us enter upon the discharge OF our
respective duties, hoping that during the
corporate year upon which we are just en-
tering, our official intercourse may be mu-
tually agreeable, and that the good order
and prosperity as the city may be materially
promoted by the measures which you may
adopt

Making the cost OF one ton of pig iron SIS 90
These estimates of quantity and prices are
all, You will perceive, set down at very high
figures, and AMI satisfied with your coal, a
very superior article of iron could be pro-
duced.
One great advantage which your town
will have in this business always, il the IA
cility Of obtaining the ore at all times, when
the parties here and at Pittsburg will be
frequently cut off by low water, the falls OF
the Ohio, the increased additional risk on
Insurance. and the necessity of less invest
meat ON raw material as stock on hand du-
ring the long periods OF low water, or of ice
in the Ohio. Another great advantage is
the proximity of Cannelton for manufac-
tured iron to the great Western markets,
which all the manufacturers are struggling
to reach by cheap routes. With blast furna-
ces, rolling-milIs, and foundries at your
place, you would be already great city
and you have the same article to make them
with you, that has made them at Pittsburg
the coal. In three years or less, you
should have them all smoking around you,
and ii vast, busy throng of industrious toilers
swarming through your extended streets.
Upon examination, you will find these
matters as | represent them, and having a
leisure hour this Saturday evening, ! got
your pamphlet on Cannelton in my hand,
and was SO strongly impressed with the
great Importance of these thoughts that !
took the liberty to write them down and ell
close them to you.
Yours very respectfully x

form.
This machine is calculated for turning Chair

Chair rails, round off the ends and cut the lemons
with the most entire accuracy, and s fully compe-
tent to turn so dozen Of chair rails per hour and
furnish smoothly all the work that passes through
it. The only preparation necessary for the work to
be done, is to split the stuff from the log and pass
it through the machine, and the various sized man

what the Railroad has Done for Wash.
1ngtOus

The Press, published at Washing
ton, Washington county, the western
terminus Of the Southern branch Of
the Mississippi and Missouri Rail Road,
contains some interesting items re-
garding the increase of business in that
town since the completion of the Rail
road to that point.
During the time from the sixth of
September-the time when the run
ming of trains first commemorative
January first, period of four months,
there has been shipped from that
place, including freight Of all kinds
and live stock, 100000 tons. There
has been shipped to that place during
the same period, exclusive Of lumber,
salt and coal, 100000 tons. 100000
feet Ct lumber, and 1900 barrels of salt
have been brought in during this Pc
Rod. Of coal there were no means to
ascertain the amount brought in, The
aggregate tonnage is three hundred
thousand tons at an average cost of six
teen cents per hundred, or three dol
lars and twenty cents per ton. Upon
this, from the cost of transporting pro-
duce and merchandise by wagon, the
Press estimates, that the enormous
sum Of eight hundred and forty thou
sand dollars have been saved to the
farmers, and this is exclusive of the
saving in the transportation of pas
sengers. The Press also remarks that
: very handsome trade has sprung up
with the western counties.
Such results as these-if any proof
i now needed-demonstrate beyond a
question the advantage Of Rail Road
facilities and the policy of making large
sacrifices to gain them. The amount
