GaIiipoIis am Iron Region.

1t is now a settled fact that iron ore,
of quality known as the best Lime
stone ore, free from sulphur and flint,
exists in our immediate vicinity in in
exhaustible quantities. 1t has been
mined and carefully analysed, by COM
petent authority, and found to contain
thirty per cent, of iron. The speci-
mems now being obtained, by a deeper
mining of the vein, will probably show
a much higher per cent.
Already some four openings have
been made, exhibiting stratums from
six to seven feet in thickness, of solid
ore. Many tuns have been mined.
showing an improved condition of both
quality and quantity. With the pres
ent fattering prospect, we cannot but
entertain the opinion that this imme-
diate vicinity possesses the capacity Of
supplying iron to the wants of the
world, in inexhaustible quantities.
Bituminous coal, free from sulphur,
such as is used in the manufacture OF
pig metal, is found in the Kanawha
river III inexhaustible quantities, and
can be brought to the ore mines with
out any land transportation. The ore
is found within a ''stone's throw" of
the Ohio river, the cheapest channel Of
communication in the world, and Fur
naces can be built SO as to save all the
expense of hauling, either of ore or
metal, thus saving tho expense of many
hands, oxen, wagons, &c, which is
telt at oil Furnaces in the interior
We entertain the opinion that this
vicinity possesses more iron ore than
has been developed in any other Sec
tion Of the State, and that it offers
great inducements for the investment
of capitalin the business, = Call

pretty good opinion of mankind in

digging potatoes. Said the boy, father,

cheat you. Now here is a dollar sale

do, you are not honest, and if you get

DEAR SIR:-I notice that several of
your correspondents give merely an
S,eerS to some Of the "Arithmetical
Questions" proposed in the STANDARD,
instead of giving solutions.
Answers are not always equivalent to
solutions, and are never as satisfactoryi
for we may, by some means, such as
accident, hearsay, numerous trials, or
otherwise, obtain an answer, without
giving any solution; while correct So
luton always gives the answer.
For instance, several persons have
given the correct answer to the question
Of 100 animals and 500 90, without
giving any solution oft, while at least
two very good solutions can be given.
| also remark that all the answers, Civ
en- respectively by d. d, Evans, De So
to, and the gentleman from Pike coun-
ly, to the $4,000 90 question, are in
correct

again, and that in answering questions
hereafter, your correspondents will give
soiutiOaS and not an8werS.

sTLast week we published an article
from the Portsmouth Republican, giving
an account Of the robbery of Mr. Glo-
yer, in Portsmouth The following, on
the same subject, is from the Ironton
Jouraal:
On Sunday, young man giving his
name as Brown, having several aliases,
in company with Tim, Sullivan, from
Portsmouth, got off the Fleeticood, and
Immediately hunted up Marshall Nor
gan, who was introduced by Sullivan
to Brown as a regular ''padR 7 After
some little parleyihg, the affair men
toned aboYe-of robhing Gloyer--was
broached, and Brown, confessed the
whole thing, in confidence, to his new
chum.
A short time afterward, Policeman
Vanhoose arrested the whole party and
took them to the lookup. Sullivan
and Smith were subsequently let out
on (sham) bail, 1t seems that Marshal
Williams of Portsmouth, had suspect
ed Brown and another, and having no
proof, adopted strategy" He arrest
ed Brown getting off the Powell, Satur-
day night, and locked him up; then ar
rested a very drunk (feigned) and aE-
terwards Sullivan, who had his instruc-
tons. = After an intellectual effort on
the part of Sullivan to draw him OUT"
Sullivan was released on bail, promis-
ing to release Brown-by force, if neces-
sary, that night. Sullivan then pro-
cured the key from the Marshall and
came back He took the poker, (the
noise of which drowned the click of the
lock } and by desperate efforts, appa-
rently, broke open the door, releasing
Brown. The two then hurried on foot
to Sciotoville, where they remained
until the FTeetlOOod came up Sunday
morning, when they came here, Sulli-
van having a note from Williams to
Morgan Marshal Williams came up
Monday and took Brown to Ports
