MINERABs.-We last week briefly no.
ticed that n large bed of iron ore had been
developed on Mr., Gallagher's farm, about
four miles up the ridge. Thus far it has
been cut through to depth of nearly
forty feet, indicating nest, but must con
tain an immense body of ore. The Watt
son bank, which has been worked at diff
ferent times and relinquished on account
of water, is again yielding a large guam
tity of orc under the management Of
Alexander Berlew.
An important discovery of a species of
darkly varicgated MARBLE has been made
1
township, which, if properly worked,
will yield large return. The specimen
We saw was of Il brown color, mingled
with green; and we learn that large blocks,
OF rich mahogany color, and suscepti-
bic of the finest polish, can be obtained
from the quarry. There is fine field for
enterprise in this business, and if, as is
said it exists in large quantities, such a
quarry would be worth more than an oil
well.
BsE- Court commenced its session on
Monday morning, and has thus far been
engaged in criminal trials, to wit:
Edward M'Graw plead guilty to the
larceny of some money from a colored
man.
VIM. Henry was found guilty of steal
ing a colt from VIM. Worley, of the val
ley.
James Stuart was convicted of stealing
chickens from Henry D. Brady, of Oliver
George Smith, found guilty of selling
liquor to minors and keeping disorderly
house.
Iachariah Orner, tried for selling liquor
to minors and on Sundays, was acquitted
county to pay costs.
THE NEW PARTY MEETING.-There
is no longer any democratic party in Milf
fin county, the wireworkers having so
managed it that they no longer call meet
ings under its old name, and are thus
gradually merging the democracy into
JOhnsOnism, just as the old whig party
lost itself in Known othingism. Well,
good-by old fellOws-we are sorry for you;
but cannot help saying you have sold
yourselves dog cheap, as one or two may
get a bone to pick or shank to gnaw,
but all offices worth having are to go into
the hands of those convenient gentlemen
who can cry "amen" to anything the
tinderman" at Washington may say or
do. The honest portion will of course cut
loose from such unblushing political pros
! titution and finding party that stood
by the country through good and evil re-
| port in the late trying times, with a
platform Just to all sections, will vote
| with that party. We shall welcome them
| to it; though they may find Union Re
| publicans have hangers-on, camp-follow-
ers, Office-hunters, &c, like the democra-
cy that was, yet the mass are honest, true
| and patriotic, just as was the mass Of de-
mocracy until false leaders and ambitious
| men misled them. The last shameless
move i'll attempting to sell them to john
! sonism will we hope remove the scales,
! and enable them to see that their leaders
are carrying them forward to another
/ Southern rebellion, just as they did under
| Buchanan.
This new party held meeting in the
! Town Hall on Monday evening, and af-
! ter vast amount of drumming, button
holing, soft-sOap and palaver, organized
! by appointing Samuel Aurand President,
James Burns, Judge Coplin and other
! f1edgelings Vice Presidents, &c Joseph
Alexander, Esq, was called upon to ex-
plain the object of the meeting, but in the
midst of it had to give way to f. D. Par
ker, Esq, of Mitfiintown, who with a
slight change of names delivered nearly
the same cockalorum speech he made in
the diamond in 1864, when he said two
millions of men would not submit to the
reelection of Abraham Lincoln. Now,
as then, he apologized for traitors and
treason; now, as then, he advocated
southern rights; now, as then, he de-
/ nounced the men and measures which
put down the rebellion now, as then, he
inculcated the idea that the North was
wrong and the South right; now, as then,
talked of blood and carnage in the future
as glibly as did the canaille of st. An
