IRoN.-We have received, from the
author. a copy CT Thanksgiving Dis
course, preached in Moriah, n. Y, by
Myron A. MInson, NJ. A., November %,
1872, " for which he will please accept
our thanks. This sermon is out of the
ordinary run of such productions, being
a truly valuable and instructive memo
gram on iron, with particular reference
to the iron and ore beds of Moriah, and
is entitled "Iron more Golden than
Gold" From it we CLEAN one or two
items of more than passing interest. The
interest is now, principally, if not who'll
ly, controlled, or rather operated, by six
companies or firms. The ore was FIRST
taken from the "Cheever bed" about
the year 1904, and the first opening made
at Mneville in 1924, when one-half of
the Stamford bed, now one of the
most productive, was sold for only two
hundred dollars. The productions of the
beds worked by the six principal COM
panies or firms, in 1872, was 365,000
tons, an average of one thousand tons
for every day in the year, Sundays in
cluded. Moriah produces, annually,
some over one-ninth of the iron of
the United States, while this country
raises from the mine nearly onc-seventh
of the entire iron production of the
world The ore, in its crude state, is
nearly threc-quarters pure iron, yet the
land from which it is taken was sold, a
few years ago, for fifty cents FER acre,
and the seller thought he had made
good bargain. The whole discourse is
brim full of interesting and suggestive
facts, which are presented in such
manner that even the ''dry details" if
we may be pardoned the bull, are not
dry but are readable and entertaining as
well as instructive We commend this
new departure" to other preachers of
Thanksgiving sermons.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER. Benjamin w.
Marshall, of Rutland, was placed in
nomination, Monday, by the friends of
temperance, as a candidate for County
Commissioner There is no one else in
the field, and we trust no other nomina-
ton will be made. Indeed, we do not
see why there should be. The talk
about an anti-temperance candidate for
county commissioner always seemed to
us to be the veriest nonsense. The duties
of the Office are defined by statue, and
consist, only, in the appointment of
agents, in towns in the county, to sell
Intoxicating liquors for medicinal, me
chanical and chemical purposes. An
honest, faithful, capable man can dis
charge the duties thereof only in one
way. If he is honest, he will appoint
capable agents in proper places. An
anti-temperance commissioner could do
no more or no less. A dishonest or in
capable man, be he nominated by whom
he may, could, of course, violate the in
tent and spirit of the law, and such an
one should neither be nominated or
elected. Mr.. Marshall is an honest and
capable man. He has discharged the
duties of the office acceptably and hon
estly for one term, and we trust that
there VAL be no opposition to his re-
election.

John A: Pooler is about to give the
people OF this town m opportunity to
procure very interesting and valuable
work entitled, ''The Polar and TronicaI
Worlds, description of man and nature
in the Polar and Equatorial regions of
the globe, by DR.. G. Hartwig." The
work is edited by DR.. A. Fl. Guernsey,
contains nearly two hundred illustra-
tions, and is in all respects well made
and altogether attractive volume. 1t
contains the results of discovery and ex-
ploration in the most distant and un-
known regions of the earth. Many of
its most interesting facts have been
hitherto inaccessible to the people, and
hence it will supply an important place
among our standard works. 1t is de-
serving of large circulation and cannot
fail to be read with interest by all who
obtain it. p.
