B9@The mineral wealth of this county. that is just now being rapidly discovered and de veloped, has already become matter of inter est and importance. The yield of iron ore in l our northwestern towns is rich and apparent ly inexhaustible. Our marble quarries, are source of industry and profit. Copper, nickle. lead, and other valuable ores are apparently abundant. Every effo to develop these in terests should be encouraged. We are conf dent that many of our richest mines are still undiscovered, and may yet, by research or ac- cident, be brought to light.
 A few years ago, a farmer in the town of Warren discovered singular deposit, that was left upon his meadows by a stream that flowed from the mountain behind his. house. He to the place where it issued from the earth.- Here he began to dig, and at last struck strong indications of iron. A company was formed. under the name of the Farmers and Mechanics Mining Co., and the " ork of sinking shaft i4,sel E ,uaI irrt-----le fv. several months. The indications now are that the mine contains Nickle, or some other metal even more valuable than Iron
 The out-croppings in nearly all our moun- tains, of rocks that are rich with the useful ores, are certain indices that our ragged hills are vast vaults, filled with the choicest mineral deposits and some more trifiing accident than that recorded above, may sometime discover | their location and character

neA, The corporators of the proposed Pitts field and New Haven Railroad, held meeting to organize company, at Lee, last week. The estimated expense of the road including depots and rolling stock, as given some years ago by gentleman who surveyed it, is only $20.OOO per mile. The distance, says the Pittsfeld Sun from Lee to CollinsvilIe, on the Canal Railroad the termini of the proposed route, is forty. two miles. or by intersecting the Naugatuck road at Winsted, the distance would be only thirty. two miles. The former route is most favored, because it would find more capital interested, and would bring Lee twenty-fou miles nearer to tide-water at New Haven, than it is now at Bridgeport. If the road should be built, it would soon be continued to West Stockbridge, and then New Haven would be in direct com munication with Albany and Hudson.
