DURABILITY AND DFTERIoRArIoN on
IRoN.-The late eminent engineer, Mr. y.
A. Roebling, maintained that . good car
axle made Of good material, and finished
by the proper heat, by hammering Or roll
log, Is sitter and stronger than the same
axle when egsin subjected to annealing
without hammering o. rolling; for, as an
healing restores softness, but at the same
time reduces cohesion and elasticity, to re-
store the iron Of brittle car axle fully can
only be done by full heat, With hammer
ing or rolling, which Of course reduces its
diameter. The opinion, too, that well
drawn out 6bre is the only sure sign Of ten
sils strength, 10 true only when aPPied to
ordinary qualities of bar on rail iron, the
case being different with good eharco'

still others whose parents are predjudiced

Gov Hoffman and the Eight-Hour Law

A short time since 0 letter was written
by Mr.. William Dowling, Secretary Of the
Chemung County Trades Assembly, to
Governor Hoffman, calling the attention Of
bis Excel ncy to the fact that the eight
hour law which was passed by the Legisla-
ture year or two ago was not enforced ac
cording to its spirit by the Commissioners
having in charge the building of the Re
formarory in Elmira. The letter elected
the following reply:
STATE OF New YORK, !
ExEcUTIvE CHAMBER,
ALBANY, June rs, 1871.
My DEAR SIR Il have read with great
attention your letter of 18th inst, which
was received here in my absence; other
wise it would have been answered more
promptly. 1t is, Of course, my desire that
all the laws Of the State should be enforc-
ed according to their true spirit, as it Is
my duty to see them enforced to the extent
of the powers vested in me by the constitu
ton. cheerfully approve Of the law in
question, and as | deem it one of pecu-
har interest and importance, specially ex-
hOrted oil persons in official positions, by
proclamation, to carry +ut the provisions Of
the act faithfully. Your letter candidly ad-
mits that in the circumstances which you
state, there is no case at present which
would justify any direct interference of the
Chief Executive power, as such power j:
limited and defined by the constitution.
Nevertheless, shall take an early oppor-
tunity to have a personal conference with
the commissioners, in which | shall do wha
| can, for the interest Of yourself and your
associates. Very truly yours,
JOHN T. HOFFMAN.

A BEWITCHED HERMIT.

\ correspondent of the Armenia On. W
Times has written for that journal an ac-
count of singular old hermit, named
David Tonkery-or better known as Old
Tonkery, the Hermit who formerly
lived in a hut situated in a wild
ravine, or mountain slope, near Mount
Riga, in the neighborhood of Amenia
Where this strange character came from
no one ever knew. He brought plenty of
money, and settled on a tract of land con-
tanning about one hundred acres. The
thoughts and conversations of this old
hermit were always about witches, and,
like most hermits, he was woman hater
not allowing one to enter his dwelling.
as he kept gun loaded with silver ball
ready to shoot any witches that might
modest him. At night he always placed
his gun across two chairs, the muzzle
pointing direct toward the door, lie own
ed fine strawberry patch, and would al
low school girls to pick all they wished
except the black-eyed ones; these he
would march off his premises instanter.
lie was never known to harm but one
person; that was poor widow woman
by the name of Mrs, Hamblin. Her COW
had wandered from home, and she went
up the mountain to the old mans farm Just
before dark, and, climbing upon fence,
looked over his farm for the lost COW. The
old hermit saw her, and it SO happened
that there came hurricane or very heavy
wind that night and blew down grove of
fine chestnut timber for old Tonkery He
thought at once that the poor woman was
a witch and had been up the night before
to see where she could do him the great
est damage. A few days after he met the
woman in the road. He caught her, and
with sharp stone cut cross on her fore
head between her eyes, to kill the witches
IN her he said. But this proved dear
witch to old Tonkery, for she sued him
and recovered damages to the amount OF
5000, and the man was obliged to sell ten
acres of his best wood land to pay suit and
costs.
He did his own cooking, washing aud
housekeeping, and hired help to do his
own farm work when necessary. When
visitors came to see him, il he liked their
appearance, he would give them apples
and cider. His chief study was how he
should rid himself of pestering witches;
as he became advanced in age faneies
grew upon him, and his Imagination was
assisted and excited by a wicked neighbor
who sought to get the old mans r-Sperty
