bel did it. George had formerly been ba1-keep'

at 615 South Fourth street. He had been SUI
ing to somo slight extent from colic, and rss
also perspiring profuse1y. Do what be would
he could not keep cool. The more be tried to
keep cool, the more he perspired, and st last tbs
brilliant idea struck him that brief retirement
in the ice-chest would get him up Al! right i
did the lager good, and why shouldn't 1t DO
George Straubel good, too? So he got into tho
ice-ches:. and very soon felt cool enough The
perspiration was checked, and when Straubel got
out Of the lce-chesr the perspiration didn't re-
turn. Or the contrary, be couldn't get Tarp,
and be continued to get colder and colder, untt
in . short time George Straubel WIS not only -

Your correspondent having been born and spent the first twenty years of his life in and near Springfield, Mass. and his first recollections were the teams hauling iron from Salisbury, Conn.,, to the U. s. Armo- ry, for gun barrels and other work. After residence of forty-three years in Collins vile, we made our first visit to Ore Hill July I7th, in company with Prof. U. Al
 vergnat of Hartford, where we were hos pitably entertained and shown through all of the departments of mining, crushing, washing, weighing and shipping the ore by the courtesy and kindness of the superin- tendent of the Chatfield ore bed, who took particular pains to show us all of the de- tails of the works, and allowed us to take away some beautiful specimens of ores in Some of it's novel and beautiful forms. It might seem like carrying stones to New castle to give any description of the Sails bury ore beds in newspaper published in that town, and your correspondent from one visit could not state much that would be new or interesting to the residents of that vicinity. The value of the Salisbury ore seems to have been known one hun dred and fifty years ago, since which time many millions of tons have been mined, and the supply is inexhaustible. The ore is mostly found in valleys and covered with earth, clay or rocks, sometimes to the depth of thirty or forty feet, all of which has to be removed to get at the strata of rich ores; and the superincumbent mass thus removed is carted off to lower ground, forming masses from seventy-five to one hundred feet high and several hundred feet in width and length. Some of the ore beds are worked to the depth of one hundred feet, and good roads are made by circuitous route to the bottom of the mines, from which the ore is hauled up in carts drawn by two horses and conveyed to the mills for crushing and washing, where powerful machinery is propelled by steam power. Steam pumps are also in use to free the mines from water, and use the same for washing the ore. The ochre and earth matter washed from the ore is washed on the meadows below, ruining some lots for cultivation. The Conn. Western railroad passes directly over one of the oldest ore beds, on bridge spanning the chasm, and sixty feet above it. Workers in iron ol steel, or any persons of an enquiring mind, will find themselves well repaid to visit these ancient ore beds and see the process of extracting from the earth and preparing for working one of the most valuable oi minerals. Those who go down into the ort beds with their boots we'll blacked, vii
 find the blacKing superseded by red ochre
 which the workmen facetiously designate as corporation backing. '......A three yea

 The farmers of this vicinity are busily engaged in theiI agricultural pursuits; and the approaching camp meeting (commenc- ing August 24th,) seems to be to great many of our largest farmers, an incentive to exertion in the finishing up of their har- vest and having, as they look forward with anticipation and pleasure to a weeks vaca- tion in tho grove of the Canaan pines, where they can quietly rest under the be- nign influences of the exercises then held, and have the pleasant reflections of hard summers task completed and of having barns well filled for winter use...... Not withstanding there has been a good deal of fault found with the dispensing of the sun shire and the rain, we think the last of July seldom affords agriculturalists more agreeable sight than it does at the present time......The work on E. w.
