THE following extract from sermon
on the recent calamities, by Rev. DR..
Chaplin, ofNew York, contains truths
which will find an echo in every sensi-
tive heart -
1T may be thought that it will
cost too much to make factory per-
fectly safe, or to keep railroad in
complete order-to prove every brick,
and every bar of iron. Cost too
much Better than every particle of
iron in those pillars of the Pemberton
Mill had costs more than refined gold,
than that one precious life should have
been sacrificed. And if a Go. cannot
afford to keep their railroad in COM
plete running order, they had better
stop running at ALL Otherwise, invi-
ting public patronage, and thus pro-
Tossing to offer safe mode of convey
ance for human lives, every defective
rail lis long drawn deceit, and every
leaky, asthmatic, dislocated locomo-
tive, is gathering falsehood. \
x Money won't call back the
dead, or heal the wounds of living
hearts; it won't recall to life that
spirit that was so lately throbbing with
hope and gladness under those mar
rage robes, or reanimate the dead
forehead that lay crowned with bridal
garlands. But in some way corpora
tions should be made to feel that they
have no right to run profitable risks. :"
We learn from the Cincinnati Com
naercaal that large convention of iron
masters, furnace men, and capitalists
met in Portsmouth (Ohio) on Tues
day morning last. On call of dele
gates, it appeared that nearly every
furnace and iron interests in Kentuck Y
and Ohio were represented. After
organization statement was made of
the iron interests of the two States,
from which it appears that the average
produce of pig iron from sixty two
furnaces was 1856 tons per annum !;
value Of cold and hot blast metal, 81
$4,000; population supported by
furnaces, $1,000 hands employed,
5000, &c. In the afternoon the COM
mittee to whom the matter was entrus-
ted reported memorial to Congress,
in which they represent that iron man
ufacture is in such depressed condition
as to render the capital invested scarce
ly remunerative and that relief can
only be afforded by specific duty on
the import of foreign iron. A series
of resolutions where then passed alleg-
ing, among other things, that it was
the duty of Congress to afford such
protection as will infuse new life and
energy into the unprosperous iron
trade ofthe country.

THE EXTINCTION OF VEsUvIUs.
Some of the German journals announce
seriously that a compay of English
capitalists have made an application
to the King of Naples, for the charter
for the extinction of Vesuvius The
principal seat of the fire of that volca-
no is situated several thousand feet
below the level of the sea. By cut
ting a canal which would carry the
water into the crater, the fire would
be completely extinguished, and the
operation, which would only cost g.
600, 000f, would restore to cultivation
land ten times that value.

The New BEDFORD STANDARD re-
lates the singular recovery of young
lady given up to die. Miss James,
of Fairhaven, who has been i'll for a
year, was considered past recovery.
In the course Of a religious converse
tion, she said she felt that should a
certain Reverend gentleman pray for
her she should recover, and after short
conversation she made such request.
The clergyman and the mother of the
invalid knelt down, fervent and ear
nest prayer was offered up in her be-
half. Before the minister prayed the
body of the sufferer was as cold an fri
gid as marble, and at the close of the
exhortation she perspered freely. Miss
James describes her sensations during
the prayer as similar to those of per-
son receiving a galvanic shock. That
night she passed comfortably, and in
the morning she arose and dressed her.

lowing Sabbath she attended church.
She is now enjoping the best of health

A PARTY of Hunters few days ago,
were out hunting in Kinchafoonie
Smamp, near Lampkin Ala, when
their attention was directed to a Curl

and snake. The former fought
ferociously, springing suddenly on the
snake tearing the flesh of the reptile
with his feet and sharp teeth, and
apringing off again to avoid its poison

to get away, but the rabbit wholly
unmindful of the presence of the huns

the greatest success in Europe, from its lively
