The Spothic Iron Co. have discovered
and been operating mine of micaceous
iron ore, which is located above what is
called the Union lin town. It is near
the old mine, or about one mile from the
old mine, called on the town map mica
ceous oxide Of iron. This mine, like the
Spothic mine of ore, increases in quality
and quantity as they progress in working
it; the former mine is already estimated
to contain 60 per cent. in richness, and
the vein s feet in width, (the Spothic is
worked until it has arrived to 16 feet in
width. This mine the Spothic Iron Co.

ones combining these ores produce a

tured the past winter has made steel
superior to any German steel ever inn
ported into this county, some Of the same
iron has been manufactured into car
wheels and are now running on the rail-
road this iron has been thoroughly tested
in New York, and is found to be the most
tenacious ever made in the country,
and we expect ere long to see some of the
same material running on the Killington.
P. S.-The Spothic Iron Co. have now
five kinds of ores, and appearances are
now that they have an inexhaustible
supply of rich ores. It is combining
these different ores and varying the
quantities that they are enabled to make
any kind of iron they desire.

REMARKS.

There were 465 cattle over the northern roads
ut Cambridge on Tuesday. OF these 60 were
western, and driven directly to Brighton, and 81
from Canada were sold together at wholesale,
leaving only 3i8 in the sales yards. There were
but few buyers present, and trade was slow.
There appears to be less interest in the business
on hand than in learning the particulars Of two
heavy failures reported among the butchers, and
Of the amount which this and that drover was in
for. The liabilities Of one of these firms was va.
riously stated at from fifty to over one hundred
thousand dollars, and the assets at some twenty.
Eve cents on the dollar. These failures are adj
duced by the butchers in proof Of the assumption
that they have been paying more for cattle than
the beef market warrants, and hence If others
would not fail also, they must make their pur.
chases on better terms. Gold, 1t Is said, has

The excitement this afternoon was increased by

gold had marked effect upon other departments
of speculation of Wall street. Greenbacks and
prices of Government bonds were severely affect
ed, and a heavy decline took place. The effect
was not SO great in the railways, owing to the
great efforts of the bal" clique to prevent the
stock market from sympathy with the surround
ing depression in mercantile circles. A decline
in gold had tendency to further unsettle bust
ness and weaken prices of merchandise. The
