stands a f~orce-pump, capable OF throwing wat
erto the highest point Of the establishment in
ease of fire. In the rear of the Furnace there
is a row of Coke-Ovens six in number. each 4
- feet high and IL feet in diameter; these
ovens are for the purpose of cooking the slack
or fine coal made in mining, which is carried
to them on an extension OF the trestle-work
leading to the Stock House. The heavy ma
chinery castings are principally from the well
known establishment of Messrs. Ruapp, Rudd
d Co., of Pittsburg. The Engine and Boilers
are also of Pittsburg manufacture. The en-
trance TO the Coal and Ore mines (situatcd but
900 feet from the Furnace) is by a slope $50
feet in heighth through which the products of
the mine are elevated to a platform above for

About 300 feet back of the works stands the
boarding house a two story building 80 by 4!

the Furnace and mines. In connection with

Building Up.

The buildings on the burnt district are pro.
crossing rapidly. The brick stores of Ander-
son d Rupp. and Smith Stratton & Co.. are up.
and the roofs nearly or quite completed. Both
are large substantial structures. and are credit.
able to the taste and liberality of their owners.
The first named has the finest front of any bus
iness building ever erected in Warren.
The walls of the stores of Patch & Opdyeke
and Andrews & Weeks on Market Street, have
reached to the second story, and are fast going
higher. Enough of the front is now seen, with
its ornamentcd iron pillars and pilasters and
cut stone window caps and stills, to show that
the block will be an ornament to the town.
The two rooms of the Van Gorder Block. and
the stores of b. P. Jameson and j. B. Dunlap.
have also reached the second story. The two
latter have all the modern improvements
Those of the Van Gorder Block, will be rebuilt
precisely as before and were good enough then.
The block of Messrs. Smith d McCombs is
nearly in the same state of progression, and
will equal the best. both in appearance and in
solidity.
Besides these a host of wooden buildings
have been and are being erected on the burut
district. and quite a number in other parts of
the town, so that Warren will for the third
time arise Phoenix like from its ashes, and
each time better than before.

Southern Aggression.

We have TO record an event which will equal
in fervor, If not in terror, that of Kidnapping
JOIN of Oberlin. 4 Nirginian, who lives
down below Wheeling, lately came to this
County. and before the neighbors were aware
of his intentions, seized and carried a fair wo-
man off to the South. The excitement is in
tense about it. 1t has been proposed that the
"Wide-Awake" Club of this place proceed at
once TO this mans residence and demand an
explanation of his conduct. We hope he may
be dealt with as the e2orlnity Of his offence
demands.-Democrat.
We met tbs lady on a train, near Wheeling
last week, and attempted Il rescue, but she said
she rather liked her nsw master, and that he
was not much of a master after all, for she had
entered into a kind of partnership with him,
and did not promise to obey. The agressor

Education of the Rayonna Union School. The
people of Ravenna nay consider themselves
very fortunate in securing the services of Miss
Campbell who, by her talents, her devotedness
to her work, and faithful discharge of her du-
ty, has won for herself the esteem of the pat
rons of the Warren schools. BY her words Of
sympathy and uniform Kindness she secured
the obedience aad affections of her pupils; she
now leaves a vacancy which the Board will
not easily fill. We learn that it is also now
the intention of Miss Palmer not to return
Miss Palmer by her scholarship, industry and
energy was instrumental in awakening thought
and enthusiasm in the minds of her pupils,
and her departure will be regretted by all the
friends of the school.
In the Grammar School an undesirable
change must be made this fall. Mr.. VIII.
Clark, Miss Ellen Parsons and Miss Jennie
Clark, have resigned their positions as teach
ers. The friends of Education here will regret
to learn that the efficient corps Of Instructors
of the Grammar School have left.
1t has been generally understood that
the Grammar School was very difficult TO gov
ern. But during the past year, by the frmness
and decision, patience, perseverance and kind
ness of the teachers, rules of order were en-
and advancement in scholarship obtain
ed. For this desideratum secured, ali honor
and praise is due the teachers. The Grammar
School having been conducted on principles
of strict justice and impartiality has now taken
rank in respect and true dignity. Our public
schools established for the mhole people, indi-
vidual caprices and private or selfish interests

service can secure to their successors.
