The Iron business.

1t is believed that the necessities Of
the railroads will soon bring about a
revival of the iron trade, at least in
the item of rails. The life of a rail
is not more than three years, and as
many corporations have been compel
led very largely, to forego replace
ment Of WORKOUT rails during the last
seven or eight months, it can readily
be seen how soon the demand viii
spring up again.
4 correspondent of the New York
Times, who has recently conyerscd
with Mr. MoRRELL, the owner OF the
Cambria Iron Works, at Johustown,
Cambria Co, Pa, says that sooner or
later, the railroad companies must go
into the market as buyers Several
gentlemen with whom ] have discuss
ed this matter, agree in saying that
the companies have, for the last six
months, only bought % per cent Of
their ordinary requirements for renew
ais and repairs; and they do not hest
tate to assert, that if the companies
do not soon do something to put their
lines in frst-rate running order, there
will be some terrible disasters record
Cd before the winter Of 1S74-75 has
passed away. Now nearly every one
| meet SAYS that any prospects for
the better in the iron market, depend
greatly on the welfare Of the railroad
iron makers, The railroad iron inter
est is equal in value to that Of any
three or four other branches of iron
manufacture. 1t is an immense con
sumner Of pic-iron, and the price otpig
iron rules the price of the ore from
which it is made and the iron which
is manufactured from it Wheeling

rrct to have 20 record the tragic end
of Or. G. r. Morgan, who was a pro-
mmout physician of Galli9olis, broth
er OF Frank Morgan, of this place.
The Doctor had been unwell for
some time, and lately had shown such
signs Of insanity, that it was deemed
advisable TO remove him to the Luna

whittier he was removed on the oath
of April. On his arrival at Athens,
he was taken to the Cornell House,

received at the Asylum till morning;

who had been travelling with him,
and were very much fatigued were
asleep, he eluded them and undertook
O. escape from the house; it Is sup.
posed that finding no other way of ex-
it, he either Jumped or fell from the
second story porch, by which he re
ceived such serious injury that he
died on the night Of Wednesday both

with us in the enterprise Our plan is
briefly as follows:
A company of seven gentlemen will form
and organize under .he charter already OBJ
tanned, when stock will be taken until a
sufficient amount shall have been secured
to entitle the company to issue bills of
credit. These bills of credit will be sold
u capitalists as a means OF raising money
with which to build the road and put the
mines in operation. Liberal inducements
will be offered to the citizens Of this sec
ton, so that twill be clearly to their in
terest to afford the right OF way and take
stock. These plans have been somewhat
matured; seven gentlemen of ability and
influence have already agreed 10 organize
the company, and arrangements have been
made with most of the citizens along the
| line of the proposed railroad. 1. il conf
IDENTITY believed that all others ofthe above
mentioned region of coantry will so clearly
perceive their Interests and advantages,
that they will speedily pin in this impor~
tant and beneficial scheme, for the devel-
opment of their section oithe country, and
Tor their absolute advantage in every con-
ceivaole way, shape, manner and form.
Now, as to my motives i'm this matter,
| woald respectfully submit that while
am not without hope OF some advantage
to myself, vet my main and prominent
motive, as must be clear u all, is the pc
cuniary, and every other advantage of my
fellow-citizens and friends. Whatever of
profit NAV accrue to me must necessarily
DC OF short duration, Tor, at my time Of
lie, / cannot hope u remain upon the
scene of action long but il could secure
this perpetual and incalculable benefit to
my fellow cOuntrymen and friends, shall
have she grateful consciousness that my
life has been OF much value to Others.
One word more n the owners and oc-
cupants OF the lands along the proposed
route. Another company claims YOUR
lands-the Guyandotte Land Company
Now, il the junior patents are good, YOU
stand protected in your titles; if the Sc
Nor patents are good, then our company
and not the Guyandotte Land Compai "

pose, however, to claim your lands, but
mere!y TO offer yvu the means Of protect
ing YOU in your Just rights to the soil on

A CORRESPONDENT thinks that we

our youth be trained to read to pre-
vent them from forming dissolute
habits, and suggests as a means Of
obtaining the end that all the worth

appropriated toward a library. No
doubt our correspondent was think
ing of the tax and cost of feeding
dogs. He ue-lect~, however to tell
Us what should he done with them

whether they shall be skinned and
their hides sold, or whether they
shall be dumped into a kettle and

A CARD.

In order that the people may more
clearly understand my objects, aims and
motives in the enterprise have so long
contemplated and been laboring to accom-
plish, desire to set them forth very briefly
as follows.
My object is the improvement and the
development Of the mineral and other re-
sources Of our county, and especially Of
that hitherto undeyeloped and almost I'M
known part of the county lying south Of
Huntington, and between the waters Of
Guyan and Sandy rivers. There is prob
ably no portion OF our county 50 rich in
hidden treasures and bIried wealth, and
certainly none that enjoys such meagre
facilities and so few advantages for COM
muuication with the outside world, and
Tor the conveying Of its products to their
natural, fair and proper markets.
have long been satisfied that n rail-
read through this section Of tie country
can be made OF easy grade, and cheapiy
constructed. ard will not exceed 30 miles
in length, aiiording ample facilities for
the transportation Of the minerals If this
immense coal and iron region TO the Ohio,
whence they would be OF easy access 10
Cincinnati, and the other great markets
Of the west and south.
The building Of this road, then, and the
working OF the mines Of this abundant
country, Is my object In order to build,
this road Short and cheap as it will be-
it viii be necessary to enlist capital from
abroad. This would have been accom-
Tlished, and the road probably built ere
this, but Tor the bogus claims OF another
company to the right arid title TO the lands
of this section. These claims having been
set up, capital has been inundated from
this important enterprise We are now
in a condition to successfully refrte all
rival claims, and sustain the citizens OF
this section Of country in their honest
claims 10 their lands; and there remains
no barrier to the successful operation OF
the plan, provided the citizens Of the above
' named section Of country will CO-oncratI
