create disturbances not at all conducive

tious diseases. For these reasons those
dodgers are preferred who are without

IRON ORE IN LEBANON TowNsHIP.-The

ship is developing wonderful resources of iron
ore, all through her great ranges of hills. The
mine on George Fritts property is being
vigorously worked, stationary engine being
now in use to keep out water. Rich ore is
being constantly raised Further explora-
tons on the lands of George w. Banghart
prove the iron veins to be most valuable.
Lands of the heirs of the late Rev, Mr.. Hunt
are also rich with magnetic ores also the
lands Of Dennis Nicer, which the Lehigh Iron
Company expect beginning to work next
week.
Thomas Banghart's property, in High
Bridge Tsp, is also shown to contain valua-
BILE veins of ore, which is nearness to the
Railroad will render easy to develop, and
work will no doubt begin there soon.
