ApLUcKY WOMAN.

An ex Confederate soldier, who was
in Chambersburg with Longstreet dur
ing Lees invasion, is writing series of
interesting articles for the New Orleans
Herald. In one of them he gives de-
tailed account of visit to and interview
with Mrs. A. K. Mcclure, whose pro-
perty was burned by the rebels.
After hearing his enthusiastic descrip-
ton of Ethe hinvincible army Lee had,
she said to him, as he gives her lam
guage: Do you know, sir, as you
came up this evening, was standing at
the gate, looking at the noble men pass
ing in the various regiments, and think
ing how inexpressibly sad it is that
they are inevitably marching to their
death. Let me make a predic-
ton. You are satisfied that your army
will be victorious well, before the 4th
of this month July Vicksburg will be
taken, and Lees army will be defeated.
In your retreat fear your soldiers may
be reckless and revengeful, and that
they may set fire to our house. All l
ask is to be permitted to burn our own
house and barn." He adds: cher
prediction was wonderfully verified.
Vicksburg fell on the 4th, aad we were
in full retreat from Gettysburg on the
4th. / made it convenient not to pass
by that honse. Gen. Imbodea
lit was McCausland] subsequently de-
stroyed the entire property. She must
have gloried in her misfortune, for a
pluckier, more earnest, more patriotic
woman did not breathe north of the
Potomac"

GENERAL GRANTS Less. Grant has met with serious loss in the destruc- tion by fire of his country residence near St. Louis. This building was situated on his farm on the Gravois road, and was known as Wish-t ton. Wish. It was we'll built and comfortable house, constructed of what is known as "stook brick, and was two stories in height, finely and even ele- gantly finished in the interior, and com. manding an excellent view of Carondolet, @ suburb of St. Louis It was built by Mr.. Louis Dent in 184O, at a cost of $l.O0O.- The value of the furniture belonging to President Grant at the time of its destruc- tion was about $3. 900. The house was oc- cupied during part of the war by Mrs. Grant, but during the last two years it had been in charge of Mir. Peter Simms, who always during the summer kept the parlor in order as reception room for visitors who called tEere to inspect the house. The Ire commenced at noon last Friday, and burned until four o'clock, when the roof fell in and the building was thoroughly gutted. There were no appliances at hand to quench the flames, and St. Louis was too far distant to furnish the necessary aid with her fire department. The loss is about $5, 800 on which there was no insurance. The farm upon which this building stood comprises about 800 acres, of which one- third is in high state of cultivation There is, however, another fine residence on the estate, built ID 1914 by the then pos sessor of the property. It is constructed in the plantation style of dwelling of wood, and is estimated to be worth $s.O0O. It is known as Whitehaven, and In 1923 was greatly improved by Dr. Frederick Dent, the Presidents father-in-lsw. Near this building, which stands about quarter of 8 mile from the burnt residence are barn and stables which were erected three years ago, at a cost of $s,ooO, and where are housed the Presidents fine horse stock, White Cloud, Bashaw, Pilot Temples and Gold Dust.

House Wdfmins. s.-Repurt says that just before the Housatonic Railroad company move into their new works at Falls Village, the mammoth car building will be cleared out, and almost the entire working force oe the road will assemble, and have a grand chop" as "house-warming." The room has been measured, and it is ascertained that one half of i. will accommodate sixty four sett, which is thought will be about as large " flooring" as will be required at any one time.
 Housatonic Railroad. 1.-The report of the board of directors of the Housatonic railroad companies, like those of other rail road companies in the state just now covers a period of nine months, ending September 3oth, 1872. The report says that "in order to facilitate the transit of merchandise and the conveyance. of passengers, large expen ditures have been made during the nine months for freight cars, new buildings, fences, water turnouts and bridges, and other permanent improvements, amounting to $50, ,Oo0, but the advantages to be de- rived from the increased traffic will soon compensate for the outlay. The original cost to the company of the Ames property at Falls Village, together with the improve ments since made. was $l59, ,59s.73, from which deduct the amount received for old material, and the balance, showing the cost of the property, is $lO9, ,sss.92. The directors say that the roadway and equip ments arc in condition far; superior 10 what they have ever been before, and art now adequate for the present state of traf- fic. The new engines, viz the "Horace Nichols" George w. Peet," and George H. Noble," have been added to the equip ment, at a cost of $32, ,9ss s4. and the old engines. "Antelope," "Reindeer and Housatonic,' have heen sold for the sum of $2l, ,OOO. Ninety four new freight cars have been built at the compsny's own works, at a cost of about $75, GOO, and dur ing the nine months ,O00 tons of new rails have been laid, costing $75, ,Os3. s5, and one mile of new sidings has been constructed, at a cost of $2O, 900. The number of miles run ty engines on this road during the niue months covered by the report is 259, ,54l.- - The receipts were $5sl, ,3564O, from the following sources:

ENGLISH LABoRERs.-The position of the hardly be appreciated by those who talk SO energetically of the suiferings of the labor ing classes in this country. No doubt i'm provenent is possible, and will come in the now by thrift he can always lift himself up if he will but taken as it is, the state of the English laborcr is beyond compari- son with the most unfortunate of real doers of work in this country. A case was be- fore the magistrates of Exeter, England, recently, which will serve as some illustra. ton. A man named Baker was brought before the corporation of the poor for neg lecting his family. It appears that Baker worked on a farm and was paid twelve shil!ings week and "liquor," having out of his score to pay for his board, lodging and clothes. His family consists of wife and six children, and they are now as the accusation says. "left chsrgeable to the parish" Baker. on his trial said that every week his employer reserved five shillings of the pay and sent it to the town authorities, and be added one or two more shillings !; that consequently they were not neglected, and that he was trying to find a house where they could all live. The authorities however, declared that it cost twenty shil- lings a week to support his family, and they would do it 10 longer; and besides this, they held the husband accountable for it. ordering him to pay up all arrears between the amount he contributed aud that which the towns had paid, and tu take care of them alone hereafter. Singularly enough they neglected to tell how he could sup port seven pc, sons upor twelve shillngs when it Icost the town twenty shillings to support six of them, and it is the effort to sslve this very problem that makes the farm laborer's life so miserable and himself SO restless and disheartened.

 Emory H. Dayis, man of questionable character, attempted to elope last week with the daughter of tho late landlord of the Plainville Hotel. A correspondent says :- It has recently been ascertsined by certain parties in this place that Davis held a secret correspondence with the daughter who is the subject of the story, during sev- cral months past, and with the assistance of lady friend preconcerted the plan for the interesting interview with the said Davis. On the evening alluded to Davis drove down to the house where the lady was tenn porarily stopping and hurriedly conveyed her to Canterbury, accompanied by 8 mounted horseman by the name of Herbert Wade, residing in Danielsonvillc, who was obtained to act as rear guard for the eloping parties, and protect them from their pur- suers, if, unfortunately their escape should be made known. Not more than half-an- hour had elapsed ere the father heard of the daughters sudden departure, and with rapid speed hastened to overtake the elopers before the nuptial knot was tied. He suc- ceeded and took the daughter home with him.

The Tr0lA Interests.

The Springfield Union of Feb. l4th, says: "We have been SO long accustomed to regard Pennsylvania as the great pig iron producing state of the country, that we have quite overlooked the fact that there is a large and important region be- tween the Hndson and Connecticut rivers, richly stocked with hermatite iron orc.- This region commences In Westchester county, New York, in the valley of the Harlem river, and extends up through Put nam, Duchess, Columbia and Renssalaer counties in New York, through Litchfyld county in Connecticut. and Berkshire county in this state, and through the west ern part of Vermont, to the northern bound ary of that state. This whole region abounds in hermatite ore beds, but the richest and best of them are in Litchfeld and Berkshire counties. These ores have always stood at the head of American iron ores for richness and good iron-making qualities, and we have the authority of an iron master of half century's experience, now retired from the business, for the statement that the very best pig iron ever made in the United States has been made from the Litchdeld and Berkshire ores.
 The present Litchfield charcoal iron works are as follows: three furnaces at North Canaan. one of them built last year
 owned by Barnum. Richardson t& Go. one at South Canaan, owned by the Hunt Ly- man company; one at Salisbury, owned by Horace Landon & Co.,. one ut Salisbury, owned by the Lime Rock company one al, Cornwall Bridge, owned by the Cornwall Iron company one at Kent, owned by the Kent Iron Company, and the Sharon Valley furnace at Sharon Valley. These nine fur naces get their ores from Salisbury and Amenia, and go as far away as Central Vermont for their charcoal. The produc
 ton of these furnaces amounts to about 25, 0OO tons of iron annually. Of two of these companies, the Lime Rock and the Hunt Lyman, tue late George Cofiing, so long agent and treasurer of the Richmond Iron company, was treasurer at the time of his2 death. Gver the New York line there are two charcoal furnaces, one at Copakc
 owned by Frederick Miles, aud one ut Mil lerton. The aggregate production of the Berkshire and Litchfield furnaces, and the two in New York just referred to, is in the neighborhood of 5O,OOO tons, and that pro, duction requires about 25,OOO tons of ore and about seven and half million bushels of charcoal. The preparation of the ore, the limestone and the coal for furnace use, and the management and care of the fur. naces, give remunerative employment ,' many hundreds of men, and il is one of 'he bene6cent provisions of Providence that the materials for 50 large and important Il business were lavishly placed in d region which would otherwise have contributed but little to state or national wealth"
