THE LUNG RoT.-Continuing it's
reports "On the Preventable Diseases
of the Industrious Classes" the Brit
ish Medical Journal describes the
great loss of life caused by the inha>
lation of metallic and mineral dust,
and instances cases Of the "lung rot, !"
so common amongst men employed
in grinding metals and in chipping
stones diseases which could be
avoided in great part if proper
mechanical means were taken to filter
the air. Engineers, cutters, grinders,
and stone cutters die, as rule, very
early, and most of them from pre-
ventable lung diseases. Many youths
do not live out their apprenticeship
and many men die in the first years
of their manhood. Skilled foremen
are hardly to be found among the
milestone makers, for, by the time
they reach that grape, their health is
SO seriously compromised that they
rarely live long enough to enjoy it.

IRON AND Zinc MINES OF New JER
sEY.-In his annual message, the
Governor very justly places great i'm
portance upon the mineral wealth of
the State, particularly its mines Of
iron and zinc. Last year more than
$50, 900 tons Of the richest iron were
transported to market, an amount
valued at the mines at one million
dollars. The zinc mines yielded, dur
ing the same period, $4,000 tons of
ore, all of which was manufactured
into spelter or zinc oxides, within
the State. This product is more than
half the yield OF the United States,
and exceeds the supply from all the
British mines.

Hop Prices.


Emmett Wells thus speaks ofthe
trade: The trade continues very dull,
last weeks prices being barely sup
ported, except in choice Bavarians,
sales of which have been made at full
prices. The transactions, however,
in all sorts have beer only ola retail
character. Stocks are not heavy,
considering the season, though fully
equal, both in quantity and quality,
to meet all demands of consumers
The imports into New York this
week are: From Bremen, 228 bales;
from Liverpool. 81 bales; from Ham
burg, 70bales; from Canada, 104 bales,
making total of 467 bales, and be-
ing the smallest importation of any
week since the fret of January. No
improvement ir price of the domes-
tic growth need belooked for as long
as these arrivals continue. AL,
9hough offered and sold at loss to
the shippers. they are daily being
withdrawn from bond, the present
market on tho other side not warran-
ting their reshipment to any great ex-
tent. Uolucky holders. throughout
this and the Eastern Safes, will watch
with great anxiety and suspense the
immediate future course ofthe trade.
Their respective chances for real.
izing anything like remunerative
prices now look gloomy. Though
many growers were offered, and re-
fused so TO 60 cents for their crops
last Fall, they are not to be blamed,
for the reason that the crop in New
York State was pronounced by many
to be failure, and the importation
OF foreign hops into this country
was then wholly unan ticipated; be-
side little confidence was placed IN
the early estimates Of the crop in
Wisconsin, which proved to be very
large ard of very superior quality.

say-The Agricultural Report gives
particular returns of the sheep killed
in the United States by dogs in one
year at II 1854, Of which number Wis
consin dogs are guilty of IL, 051.
Perhaps thrice that number would
be nearer the truth, as only fortyone
counties are reported. AT the most
moderate figuring, these slain sheep
represent something like $I00, 900 in
greenbacks. The Commissioners of
Agriculture estimate the aggregate
loss of sheep from dogs at So, 900, 900
for the entire country, But this
is not the worst; a far greater loss rex
suits to the productive wealth ofthe
country by the refusal Of farmers to
