ICg MUyrroR Letters Patent have
been received By Capt Ford tor THIS use
ml invention. Now that it is in q condl

River Improvement Company purchase
one or more of these Monitors" 10 order
to keep navigation open on the k'oa"boi
and ls. the Coal anil Salt Companies pur
chase one so as to keep the Ohio Rive
open from Syracuse to the M)uth of Ka
nawha The safety oftheir boats in the
Kaoasha Hprbor would more than COM
pensate them for the outlay. Suppose the
present winter should be as severe as the
last two past winters, whit would it be
worth to these Companies and to the COM

furnaces on both sides Of the Ohio river,
within this latitude, puFchase Two thirds
Of their barrels from the Ohio Barrel Com

aud at different points along tue Kama

long freeze up, the salt furnaces would
be compelled to suspend business Du'

This invention il put into practical use,
will doubtless be the means Of saving
thousands upon thousands Of dOllars worth
of property. Besides our people could be
supplied with coal during the winter from
either the Kanawha or the Ohio. We
understand that Capt Ford contempIates
building one or two Of these monitors
at this place this winter.
We are grotifcd to announce that at
the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition, Mrs.
Pauline Stiereu, Of Mason City, was
awarded the only prcmium-SiIccr Med,
