wide popularity in such cases. and have been
proven the best and safest means of removing

SHENAN HoAH IRON WoRKs.-We had the
pleasure of visiting these extensive iron works a
few DAYS since, and were delighted to find them
again operating so successfully. The new steam
hammer which weighs 4,OOO lbs, is IN OPERATION
and it is truly wonderful with what accuracy
and ease it is handled. 1t is managed by a small
lever with which it can be given any length OF
stroke less than about five feet, and 1t can be
forced down with pressure of thirteen tons, or
can be made to strike blow just heavy enough
to crack walnut The immense iron frame IN
which the hammer works, the anvil and all the
fixtures, weighs about fourteen TONS The oper-
alton of this hammer is the most amazing Illus
;tration of the power of steam that we have ever
witnessed.
1t will be remembered that these works were
destroyed by the flood last September, at which
time the buildings were located in the fat near
the river; they are now located upon the hill,
where they are perfectly safe from high waters.
