Editor Tsmes:
Those interested in the iron trade of this
State, and Others familiar with the Official
statistics Of the Iron traffic with Canada,
South America, and the West Iudiee, are
jubilant over the great and growing export
trade in American manufactures Of iron. Ii
is stated, that owing to an immense increase
in the price of labor, brought about from re-
peated strikes, and cost of material, chiefly
coal, Great Britain, the greatest iron foundry
in the world, is unable to produce iron AZ
cheaply as three years ago, BY at least 40
per cent. Only few days ago, a New
York firm of iron merchants received an
order from Liverpool for one hundred tons
of merchant bar iron. One of the largest
iron consumers of iron in the region of
South Siafordshire has made contract with
one Of the rolling mills in this State for
three thousand tons of manufactured iron,
and considerable quantity Of it has already
been shipped. II is quite certain that our
Pennsy!vania manufacturers have just as
much demand On hand.
During the rebellion the city became pos
sessed by purchase, of large amounts of the
material Of war, and now, having no fur
Their use for it, are getting rid of it gradually.

S32 SO each, and those for the iron guns at

In the Court of Quarter Sessions, before
Judge Finletter on Saturday morning last,
order on the father of her husband. Samuel
GIeen.od, to aid in the support of her two
children. Her husband has gone to Leav-
enworth, Kansas. An order was made on
the grandfather to pay one dollar week for
the support of one of the children. and to
take the other to raise. When the young
Greenrod reads this. knowing that he has
acted naughty, he will see the propriety and
the necessity of at once ''coming down to
Limerick" and helping his papa out of the
scrape. This could easily be satisfactorily ar.
ranged by weekly or monthly remittance;
The wife can now console herself with the re-
Election that in every evil there is a good
which neutralizes it to some degree.
A singular incident happened at the Vim.
Penn Hotel, on Friday last. A German
named John Speese was struck dumb as he
was about taking drink of water. He
went to the cooler and tried to swallow =:
glass Of the fluid, bat vas unable to d. ~, !
as the water refused TO go down, and spurted |
out of his nose and mouth. He was taken |
10 the hospital, where he remains, perfectly |
unable to regain his speech. The physician
in attendance thinks the loss of speech lie
caused bv a sofening OF the left side of the
brain. Heart disease might probably have
been the cause. Yours.
