Gloomy Report from the Iron
District.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Advices from Harris
burg, Penn, are to the effect that utter stagna.
ton in business of all kinds prevails Mill and
foundrymen attach no blame to employers for
closing the workshops, and readily perceive the
Impossibillty of carrying on extensive establish
ments when neither money nor orders are COM
ing in, and when credit is almost paralyzed.
Great destitution and suffering is looked for
among the working classes the coming winter.
The fOunderies and other works still working
are fast completing their contracts, and total
suspension will likely soon take place.
The large employers of labor believe a reac-
ton must soon set in. 1t is thought the pres
ent condition of things in the iron trade will be
of permanent benefit to the country, inasmuch
as the low prices now ruling will have the effect
to this market. 1t is also thought the tepden-
cy of prices paid tor labor will for some time
be downward thus decreasing the cost of man.

already done so, will reduce the working hours
at their seops The number of trains ron will
be diminished where practicable and an easy
reduction of wages is also probable. A general
feeling was expressed is favor of so arranging
reductions as to throw the least possible mum.

moved from Otsfeld to Boston, and was succeeded
by defendant in said office of treasurer In the

mors which had reached his ears, having some appre
nenslon that certain notes not properly recorded
might possibly be outstanding against the town, and

and agent of his, to pay out of his private funds
any such note that should be offered for payment
and not recorded, the plaintiff at the agreeing
to reimburse to defendant any sums that should be
so expended.
The defendant admits that such an arrangement
was made with the plaintiff, but claims that it was
not made by him in his priv1te capacity, but solely
in his capacity of Office and treasurer of the town and
therefore, whatever the liability of the pa ties might
be, that the action in any event should have been
brought against the town and not against him per-
sonally.

plaintiff and defendant note amounting to the sum
of 1854, dated August Goth, 1870. was presented

The Aims House Abuse.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have been waiting patiently
to see if the young woman who has taken the
gustatory proceedings of the Overseers at their
monthly meetings under her review, had any
thing further to offer. Whether she had found
time from her public duties to peep around the
premises, and find some more meat for another
article equally as grave and important as those
she has advanced, some of which are conspicu-
ously inaccur ate.
1t is certainly questionable business-and it
is SO viewed by the public-for a teacher in the
High School, or anybody else, in fact, to en-
deayor to prejudice the public against board
whose Iabors for the city are gratuitous and
quite laborous, by making herself busy about
their doings SO far as to issue misstatements
and frivolous charges 1t is as though the High
School had become the censor Of these poor
fellows, who venture to take supper once a
month at the house while engaged in the SER
vice of the city. If ''Brnamwood would only
come to Dunsinane," the Overseers would no
doubt be glad to receive this censorous woman
and show her nearly what is embraced in
monthly meeting of three or four hours con-
tinuance at the house. Meantime, if she could
employ her leisure moments for the benefit of
her pupils rather than poking her nose into the
dishes served up for supper, we apprehend she
would reach point which would make us look
up to her with respect If one branch of the
city government is to censure another, it is to
be hoped that the selection will be such as to
ensure truth, and the castigation of faults be
rather higher in the scale than the question of
what the Overseers eat, whether porridge or
pies, chickens or chowder, candy or corned
beef trpe or turkey Is this compensation be-
gruged by the people? or would they prefer to
pay salary amounting to many times as much
to ensure the service? Y A.
