FiRE.-Watson's Factory, on the

ergetlc action was subdued-the roof

lion BUSINESS "A number of hands
to work ut the ore-beds of MIR. Maltby,
on the Shenandoah river, arrived here
last week. "A batch of carts were also
received here by rail for the same gen
tleman, and taken to the Manning pro
perry yesterday. From present appear
ances these ore-banks will be worked
extensively the present season, and the
iron business of Jefferson increased be-
yond what it has ever been heretofore.
We have heard, within the past day or
two, that there is some probability that
an extensive ore-bed on the land of Mrs.
Vanvacter, near the Bloomery Sash
Factory, will be purchased or leased, and
worked by parties who have been pros
pecting in the county,-Spirif.
