which partakes of the ores from which the
celebrated WOotz steel is made in India. The
patent for this new process was obtained last
year, and il Is the first time that good steel rails
have been made with the use of anthracite iron
and anthracite coal rs fuel in the pudding
furnace. A very important feature of these
rails is that they can be reworked and rerolled
half dozen times If desired q thing which
cannot be done with the rails made by the Bes-
semer process. This fact is an important one to
those who use them, and will be appreciated
because whilo these anthracite steel rails are as
good they are, in consequence of their capacity to
be reworked a number of times, at least one
third cheaper than rails made by the Bessemer
process. 1t Is known here rs the Raston pro-
cess having been discovered last year while
working at the Tamaqua Rolling Mill. They are
now turning out these steel rails from 20 to so
pounds to the yard, at $120 ,er ton at the Ia
maqua Rolling MILL and will guarantee them.
A specimen can be seen at the Anthracite Board
of Trade Rooms. A 90 pound steel rail is said
to be equal in endurance to 35 pound iton rail-
The machinery at the rolling mill is not of sufii-
cient power to turn out heavier rails than thirty
pounds to the yard.

The Lecture by Mr.. parsons on Friday evening
last, was n very racy, cosby and picturesque
portrayal of the wits and humorsts of the Irish
Bar, contemporary with Curran and Sheridan
No report Of the lecture could be given, for it was
made up of descriptions, jokes and stories. The
jokes and stories were mostly new, and were told
with great freedom and readiness II was an at
tempt to present the characters and persons Of
whom he spoke, in their ordinary style thcir
familiar undress their peculiaritics and oddities
their most ludicrous and ridiculous attitudes
1t was resume Of Irish wit and gossip. II
was as full Of fun and scandal as a comic history
No more agreeable entertainment could be desired
than the Committee have given us in Mr.. Parsons
lecture The speech Of the lecturer was slight
y tinged with the Irish brogue, just enough so Il
make it pungent and rolishablc. His attitudes
and manner can hardly be called graceful though
they were expressive. His speaking was yer,
rapid, and he gave in an hour and half what
most speakers would have required two hours t.
utter We do not know what the profession o
Mr. Parsons is, but we believe that if he SHOULD
prove unsuccessful as lawyer, or Judge, or phi
losopher, or even as lecturer, he could easil,
make his fortune as an actor on the stage W,
hope TO hear him again.

Frank Carr, aged about fourteen, convicted
Of larceny, was, Saturday last, sentenced by a
justice court for term of seven years in that
excellent Institute, the State Reform School
This Is one of perhaps a thousand similar cases in
the State requiring the benefit Of a thorough
course Of relormatory instruction and discipline.
Frank has ban an unfortunate boy but his
admission to the Reform School is fortunate.
Perhaps he is not naturally more vicious than
thousands Of boys who have neither applied, or
been sent, as yet to the right school. Half or
phan. and more than that, his father, an honest,
well disposed man, Of temperate habits, having
been accidentally killed on the railroad some FIVE
or six years since. lie has two brothers. one of
whom served well in the Vermont Cavalry Rcgi-
ment Of the late army of the Union. Though
they will regret the occasion, they have reason to
be glad Of his good luck, in finding steady en-
ploymeut where there is excellent opportunity for
improvement, which will probably lead to his
discharge before the expiration of his term.
We have been informed that Of the subjects of
the recent revival in this village and vicinity, fifty
have been entered on the list as practitioners by
the pastor of the NJ. f. Church. Eighteen have
recently united with the Advent, and fifteen with
the Congregational Church.
wednesday, December Goth, afternoon and
evening Rev. Mr. Worthen and lady were favored
with very pleasant visit Of their parishioners
and Others Beside the social cheer and words of
encouragement in their pastoral labors, it is said
they received material aid to the amount of s $50
on this occasion.
Our business men are dissatisfied with the
meagre account given in the q" Vermont Direc-
tory Of the business of this town. 1t may be
difficult to supply the deficiency where it would
appropriately belong, but they claim the right
to complain. There are more than forty firms
and individuals which ought TO have, but have,
no place in the Directory of this town, as
published in the State Register and Directory
Some errors occur in those which are named.
Another year the publishers will find it well for
them to pay more attention to periecting the di-
rectores of the towns, even should it involve the
necessity Of enlargng this popular annual and
its cost

MEssRs. EDITORS We often hear this town
spoken of as the abode ofpoyerty, and its attend
ants ignorance and vice 1t is true the first set
tiers, or the greater part of them were poor, and
no doubt they iIered for the nccessaries of life.
But they have all passed away while living
they taught their children the lesson of seli-rei-
ance.
The traveller in passing through the town sees
only the poorer part of it. We claim an average
withother towns in the State in morals, general
intelligence, industry and inventive genius Our
religion is that described by the Apostle James,
LIST chapter eth verse.
We favor the recent school law and raise large
taxes for the support Of schools, which are well
attended
We raise our own grain and some to spare con-
sderng the surface of the soil, this is doing well.
Some of the best oxen in the county are raised
here. We have good mechanics, and for inventive
genius, we would refer to Messrs Towns. We
have good musicians who can't be beat in Wash
ington county.
A few months since n man from the North with
his cedar wares, was passing through the town
and meeting one of our farmers said to him -
This is Woodbury., | suppose " Yes, - was
the reply. The stranger continued, How do
you get in your seed grain ?" " Oh, we scratch it
in" 81 should think you would have to scratch
to stand up Do you raise grein enough to eat 20
Our man replied, 81 had five hundred bushels Of
wheat, and four hundred bushels Of oats threshed
in my barn last fall. | keep one hundred and fifty
Sheep twelve COWS, two yoke of oxen, a span of
horses and other young stock Well done, ="
exclaimed the teamster You beat us up in
W.. I'm going to Montpelier to buy some
grain. Good day, Sir
will simply relate the fact that my neighbor
mot the one mentioned aboye) has sold the past
season over one thousand dollars worth of butter
the product of his farm.
We have thirteen ponds, some of them large, to
which many resort in summer and winter for fish
an abundant water power, although no stream
of water runs into the town.
There are sixty-one towns in the State whose
grand list is less than ours-and two in Washing
ton County.
