The Bankrupt Law.

The general bankrupt law which lately passed
the United States Congress, differs in some of its
features from all former acts. The act provides
for the appointment by the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, of one or more Registers in
Bankruptcy in each congressional district Of the
United States, whose duty is to act as deputies
of the District Judge, and to whom persons de-
string the benefit Of the Jaw will make appica-
ton. The law embraces individuals, partner
ships, and all moned, business or commercial
corporations and joint stock companies, all Of
whom may, by the provisions of the act, he
forced into bankruptcy. Horsepower given to
creditors to force their debtors into insolvency,
is extensive, and much greater than has existed
in this country under any former act. The
causes which authorize a creditor to proceed
against his debtor are very clearly enumerated
by Contemporary, and are as follows:
First. The voluntary departure of the debtor
from the State, district or territory of which be
is an inhabitant, with intent to defraud his
creditors.
Second Concealment by debtor, to avoid
the service If legal process, in action of debt or
upon demand.
IhlrQ- ConCealment or removal of property
to prevent its being attached, taken or seques-
tered on legal process.
Fourth. The assignment, gift, sale, convey
ance or transfer of estate property, rights or
credits, in this country or abroad, with intent
to delay, defraud or hinder creditors
Fifth. Being arrested and held in custody
under mesne process Of exclusion for debt val
id and provable under the Bankrupt law exceed
ing one hundred dollars, if such process is rot
discharged by payment or by law within seven
days.
Sixth. Actual Imprisonment by process in
civil action upon demand exceeding one hum
dred dollars, founded On contract for more than
seven days.
Seventh. The payment, gift or transfer sale
or conveyance of property or money TO any per-
son in contemplation Of bankruptcy the party
being bankrupt or insolvent at the time.
Eighth. Giving a warrant 10 confess judy
ment, in contemplation of bankruptcy.
Ninth. Suffering property to be taken in exc
cution, or on legal process, with an intent to
give preference to one or more creditors.
Tenth. Suffering PROPERTY 10 be taken in exc
cution, or upon legal process, with intent to give
a preference to indorSers, bail or sureties, with
intent to delay or defeat the operations of the
act.
Eleventh The fraudulent stoppage or suspen-
sion by banker, trader or merchant of payment
Of his commercial paper not resumed within
fourteen days.
Any person thus liable for the acts designated
may be made bankrupt within six months
after their preparation, on the petition of one or
more of his creditors, the aggregate of whose
debts amount to $3.50

Iron Lands.

Some considerable stir has been created of late
in the upper part of this county, by the recent
development OF large bodies of magnetic iron ore
near Mill Green. We are told that the excite
ment consequent upon these discoveries has
caused owners Of land in that vicinity to greatly
increase the price OF their lnnds-in some in
stances, il is said, five hundred per cent. The
most extensive bed of this ore is found on what
is known as the "Deer Park" iron property -
This bed is, we are informed, supposed to be the
largest that has been discovered of this par
tcular kind of ore, and has been purchased by
Philadelphia party, who, we understand, are
making extensive arrangements to open and de-
velope it still further the coming season. 1t is
further stated that there are books to show that
about thirty-6ve years ago this mine was worked
to some extent and about three thousand tons OF
ore taken out, but it was then said to be too
rich to be worked or smelted by charcoal.
We learn, too, on good authority that Mr.. R.
/. Jackson, of the firm of R. I. Jackson & Co.,
states that at the time last mentioned above, this
mine could not have been bought for two hun
dred thousand dollars, and that some French
parties had conceived the idea of using this ore
for the manufacture of fine steel, and that sever
al barrels of this ore were actually sent to
France.
1t is remembered by some of the old inhabi-
tants that man by the name of King, some
forty Or fifty years ago, erected small furnace
on what is known as Soap Stone Hill, and made
steel direct'from the ore of sufficient ineness for
the manufac ure of razors.
The value Of this ore, if report be true, has
created some interest even outside of the State.
We hear that very recently an agent of parties
largely engaged in the manufacture of steel
somewhere in Pennsylvania, visited this county
with view to the use of this kind of ore in the
manufacture of steel. Large purchases of the ore
lands have been made in the last month or two
by Philadelphiaus and New Workers, who will
of course not allow them to remain unwo. ked
very long.

THE Subscriber, at the request of several
Il gentlemen in Hartford county, who take an

proving the county stock by crossing them with
thorough breds, has consented to leave his horse

four mile race-running in all 263 miles, of
which he was winner of 223 of them.

and strength of form. He was exhibited ana
took the first premium "for a thoroughbred
stallion at the Lynchburg Fair the year before
the war
The people of Hartford will have the rare op-
portunity of breeding from horse whose blood

SPRING GooDs.-The attention of purchasers
is directed to the advertisement of the Franklin
vile Store, TO be found in another column
This establishment, one of the most extensive in
the country, is now opening large, varied and
cheap assortment of spring and summer goods
Persons visiting this store may expect to be fur
nished with almost every article needed for fam
lily use, at prices and on terms unexceptionabe
Besides attached to this store there is an exten-
sive cotton factory, and store keepers and others
wanting brown muslins can get them better here
than almost anywhere else, because they buy d.
rectly from the manufacturer, and at msnufac-
turer's prices, instead of paying two or three
profits, as is necessarily the case where you buy
from third or fourth bands.

Who ARE THE WINNERS 2--Yes, who are the
winners in The Great Presentation Festival,
which came off.at the Front Street Theatre in the
city of Baltimore, few days ago, and over
which Mr.. Clark presided? There were a num-
Der of tickets held in this vicinity, but we have
never yet seen belt, buckle, or cake of
soap We noticed for some time past great
number of persons with long boards, and it
struck us that most of them were waiting for
the drawing of this splendid scheme, but we
greatly fear, from the appearance of many Of the
chins about town, that our friends have not been
so fortunate as in some other localities We do
not doubt but that the following, irom the
Towsontown Union is true pitture-barring
the piauo-of the profits of every neighborhood
and community that dealt in the stock of this
concern. The Union says:
George v. Bowen, son of VIM. Bowen, ESQ,
residing near this town, was the holder of the
lucky ticket in Clark's late presentation festival.
The highest prize offered was piano, said to
be worth $500, and this Mr. Bowen drew. 1t
is said to be really splendid instrument, and
we have heard that Mr.. Bowen has refused elev-
en- hundred dollars for it. A good many OF the
tickets were held in this neighborhood, and,
with the exception of the piano, we suppose the
value of all the prizes drawn by them would
amount in the aggregate to about rs cents,
more or less. Brass rings, ear drops, sleeve
buttons and shirt studs the most horribly ugly
engravings mortal ever gazed upon little cakes
OF pure rosin soap and the inevitable belt
buckles are the prizes drawn. This was SPLEEN
did scheme, OF paper, and held out very tempt
ing inducements for every body to invest dol
lar or more, anu doubtless many, when they
did so, had visions of costly pianos, magnificent
gold watches, splendid sets of diamond jewelry,
&c, dancing before their imagination, but alas
when the drawing took place, all their high
hopes, like the apples of Sodom, were turned to
ashes on their lips, and they found themselves
the recipients of-two cent belt buckles.

The Status of the Medical Profession.

There is unhappily too much truth in the fol-
lowing remarks taken from the Medical Times
and Gazette, Uondon,) to which our attention
has been called by medical friend:
"There is no class of men to whom the pub
lie are under so much obligations as to the mem
befs of the Medical Profession, and it is not too
much to affirm that there is no class of men to
whom they are so ready to impute evil notions
and corrupt practices. The factis, we believe the
profession are so constantly besowing benefits
on the public, inaugurating charities, underta-
king unpaid appointments, anu scattering broad
cast gratuitously what other men are paid for
their time, their knowledge, and their talents
that the world will not give them credit for hav-
ing no Interior motives in their acts The pub.
lie will not believe in SO much dsinterested be-
nevolence, and are delighted to cast off the debt
OF gratitude they owe by throwing doubts on
the source whence the good deeds they profit by
spring. Accordingly. any imputaton on a doe
tors con0uct or intentions is largely welcomed
and commented on by section of the public
press with zest that proves the estimate the wri.
tiers have formed of the publications and opinions
Of their readers, To read the TRADES which from
time to time appear in the daily papers, it might
be supposed that doctors were set of crafty,
scheming Adventures, welding deadly agents
for evil with irresponsible power, deaf to the
voice OF conscience and the dictates of humanity,
end bent only on obtaining their per. ona ends
The doings and sayings Of no other profession
are canvassed with so much prejudice. The en-
nifty which used to be launched against priest
craft is now transferred to medicine. The enor-
nous obligations which are due to the medical
profession are entirely forgotten, and charge CT
moral delinquency against medical pracltion-
er, whether supported or unsupported by any
evidence, is made occasion for the most merciless
personal attack, and too often for insinuating
calumnies against the whole body to which he
belongs"
