. We have frequently made mention of the new
Undiscovered process, by Lorenzo Sibert of ma
king cast-stee in an ordinary blast furnace, and
have previously mentioned the fact that several
tires for the wheels of locomotives have been
made by this process at the foundry of Parkins
Nelson g. Co., of this place, ordered by Mr.:
Whitcomb, the Superintendent of the Va. Cen
trail Railroad. Having ordered two more, and
our citizens being informed that the casting would
take place on Saturday evening last, a number Of
intelligent gentlemen were in attendance to wit
ness it. AS on former occasions, the most salts
factory success was attained. 1t is claimed fol-
the metal thus easily and cheaply made, that il
possesses all the qualities of the best steel. Lo-
renzo Sbert, the patentee, has the credit for ma
king one of the most valuable discoveries of the
present age. 1t will establish his claim as a ben
efactor of the world. He will not need marble
or bronze to perpetuate his memory as steel made
by his process will be more effectual and more
enduring. Of cast-steel his monument should be
made. His promises to be @

STAUNTON LYCEUM.

On Friday night last, DR.. A. M. Fauntleroy de-
livered a lecture before the Staunton Lyceum
his subject being 1.-THE Iudestructibility Of For
ces" The lecture was enjoyed by a very large
auditory of ladies and gentlemen. The philo-
sophie truths maintained were illustrated and es-
tablished by experiments. He maintained the
theory that forces were not lost and that heat and
light were not matter, but effects of the motion of
matter.
After the lecture the discussion of the following
question, which was partially debated on the pre-
vious week. was resumed:
Can the fact of Divine Goodness be proven
aoithout the aid Of the Scriptures?"
The following members participated in the dis
cussion: In the affirmative, Prof Pike Powers,
Col. Geo. Baylor, Y. H. Peyton, and Rev. Geo.
B. Taylor-in the negative, Capt. A. NJ Pierce,
Col B. Christian, and Col. James II. Skinner.
The question was decided in the negative by a
vote of 10 to 9.
On next Friday night. the following question
will be debated:
HAS the rise of sects in the Christian Church
been unfavorable to the progress of true chris
