p@ There may be seen at our office a knife blade of Roxbury steel, and small piece of the "mat," or metal as smelted from the ore. Inasmuch as the supply of ore is inexhaustible, and as there seems no reasonable doubt that it may be smelted at no heavy expense; we do not see why this will not soon become one of the most important mining interests in the State.

STAR cs. EAGLE.-An interesting game of base ball took place at Bridgeport, June 15, between the above named Clubs. The Eagles were confident of victory in the commencement, but the heavy batting of Dean and St. John, as also the fielding of the Stars, rather surprised them. The Stars carried off the prize bat to the fol- lowing score:

for the reduction of its ores and the refine ment of It's metal Many persons have predicted it would be gigantic failure, and much credit is due to the indefatiga- ble energy and perseverance of the Presi- dent of the Company, Samuel Colt, Esq. of Hartford, and to the skill and good judgment of it's excellent Superintendent, MT. Kobe, whose experience in similar mines in Prussia has been invaluable to the Company. On Thursday last, the first metal made was drawn from the Furnace. amounting to Ten Tons the quality of which, and the richness of the ore, exceeds the expectations of its most sang1line friends. The Furnace is capable of turn ing out 15 tons of metal every twenty four hours. and is now in full operation. The quality of steel made from this ore is equal if not superior to any imported, and the ore is said to be inexhaustable The dis covery and successful development of this enterprise is of the utmost importance to this country, and will prove to it's fortunate owners source of great wealth.
 This is the only ore ever discovered on this continent, from which steel may be manufactured directly, and 1t can be made at very little more cost than our common iron.
 The Company intend soon to erect their Cast Steel Works at East Bridgeport.
 The ''General Association" of Conn. met at New Milford on Tuesday of this week, continuing in session for three days An account of the meeting will appear in the Enquirer next week

NEW MILFORD.

It is with the greatest pleasure that we publish the following announcement, from well-known gentleman resi- ling in New Milford, of the success of the attempt to smelt the Mine Hill Steel ore. This mine has always been considered one of very great value, and was long in the possession of Mir. David Stiles, who displayed great perseverance in litigation with other claim ants, but did little or nothing towards de- veloping the property. Under its present auspices. however, large amounts of capital have been expended in work, and the smelling of the metal in large quantities, which was delayed for time by the acci- dental breakage of furnace hearth, seems at last to have commenced :-
 THE AMERICAN STEEL COMPANY.
 The above enterprise, which for two years past has caused great degree of in- terest among Iron Manufacturers and oth- CTS, of this and other States, has finally eliminated in complete success.
 During the last two years, the sum of four hundred thousand dollars has been ex- pended by its owners in the development of the mine, and in the erection of fur naces, machinery and buildings, suitable

The weather seems at last to have taken the right turn after another of the heavy storms that have so much backened this season. We hear of destructive whirl- wind which passed over the south eastern edge of this town and did considerable damage in the vicinity of Camps Mills.

 We understand that the Editor of the Sentinel has gone up-we do not mean fnan- cially, nor that he has been translated either after the manner of Nick Bottom, or as pre- dicted by Elder Miller and our friend Sal tonstall-but he has transferred his edito- rial rooms to the upper floor of the Man sion House. We hope he has at last reach ed point whence he can get an occasional glimpse of what is going on in the Nine teenth Century.

@r MT. Stansbury, Attorney General, has given an official opinion of considerable length, in which he construes most of their efficacy out of the Reconstruction acts. He holds that the military authorities have no right to remove civil officers, and in effect treats as legitimate those provisional state governments which Congress has so long re- fused to recognize.
 The President has determined to act in accordance with the Attorney Generals advice, and July session of Congress seems unavoidable

By~Prof. Agassiz testified before our Le gislative Committee on Fisheries, regard ing the Fish culture last week. He is re- ported in the Hartford Post as follows:
 The next witness was Prof. Agassiz of Harvard College, who gave in most fascinating way hls views upon the subject. The professor showed that artificial propagation of salmon may be car ried out with great success that the ordinary waste of ord, when spawned by the fish, is enor- mous-30, 900 shad eggs developing only from to 12 shad while by artificial propagation every egg may be matched. He had even matched eggs in a wash bowl ill his study, that by accident had been frozen in the process. Fixed engines, gill nets etc., the present destructive modes of shad-fshng he regarded as relics of feudal law, tied up like slavery with claims of property, but against the common interest, and necessarily sure to be aba ted in time. The professors testimony was de- hghtfully instructive, replete with many interesting facts drawn from the treaury of his his vast learn ing, sparkling with humor and threaded with the first principles of scientific law. Professor Agas sig has Q most pleasing countenance, reminding one of the portraits of Kit North. It much to be regretted that his testimony could not have been given in the Hall of Representatives that the entire legislature and citizens generally might enjoy the rare treat of listening to what amounted to conversational lecture. At the close of Pro- lessor AgassiZ's testimony, the Hon. MT. Johnson, chairman, thanked him in behalf of the committee for his presence and testimony.

in several ways. The good book says that the

are pot wicked, because Gtiiey cannot stand on
