The Vershire Copper Mines

For the Bellows Falls Times.
Mr.. EDITOR Thinking it might be
of interest to the readers of the TINES
to learn something of the immensely OF
those copper mines situated in the town
of Vershire, Orange county, of this
State, thought / would give you a short
sketch of that mountain of copper. |
assembled the mountain about three hun
bred feet, where a guide was soon found
with lamps in hand who guided me into
that dark tunnel which led into the
heart of what appeared to be solid rock
| found very rough and uneven road
for about one hundred feet, when We
came to a railroad track, which is used
for the miners car for transporting the
copper ore out of the mountain to the
wash house outside, where the ore is all
washed After following the track an.
other one hundred feet we came to a
place they called the landing, where
there was another branch, which led
down into the mountain eight hundred
feet more, which was so steep that it was
with great difficulty that / could descend,
but did at last reach the lower end OF
the shaft, where could be seen a large
number of lamps or candles used by the
miners in drilling, and loading the cars
which carries up the heavy metal, which
is drawn up by steam power. 1t is
sight to behold, where so many men are
employed so far underground. Those
men only labored about seven hours per
day. l was very glad to get to the open
air, "a what air there was in the shaft
was pumped in and did not seem to be
good air at all.
Near the foot of this mountain of ore
they have place for roasting the ore
Gas they call it, in about the same man
ner as our farmers burn coal pit. This
ore goes through the roasting process
three times, then it is ready for the fur
mace where it is smelted.
There are over five hundred men and
boys employed at this copper mine, and
the miners are Englishmen while the la
borers about the furnace and other ou
door work are American and Irish. The
profits of this mine are estimated to bt
some over two thousand dollars pei
week above all expenses.
The company have large store tina
their trade averages sixty-fve hundred
dollars per month, employing some eigh
clerks.

Rather Embarrassing.

Modest young men might find the
mode of salutation employed by the fair
senoritas of Peru somewhat disconcert-
ing, though not unpleasant. The mis-
tress of the house enters the reception
room smoking cigarette, wearing a
black silk skirt, and red or blue sacque,
and with her magnificent hair braided
down her back in two plaits that almost
sweep the floor. Advancing to you she
removes her cigar, splits upon the carpet,
although it may be white velvet tapes
try, and folds you in both arms to her
matronly bosom, pushing your head
gently down upon her shoulder, and pat
ting you softly on your back. This sin
gular proceeding answers to our hand
shaking. All classes meet and embrace.
Young men and old women, old men
and young ladies, and even children, all
unite in this parting embrace, and rare
ly kiss If the daughters delay coming
into the room, the mother opens the
piano and plays you some national
dances, sad, yet brilliant, in plaintive
minor key. Or she claps her hands,
and native brings in a bottle Of wine
and fruits of various kinds, and you are
expected to partake, if ever so little.
The daughters never keep you waiting
long, if they are not at mass or shopping
and, if at home, never excuse themselves.
They wear white wrappers, trimmed sim
ply with native lace, and the heavy
braids of hair like the mothers. Con-
versing with them, you soon ascertain
the extent of their acquirments-a lit
tie French and knowledge of the geog-
raphy and history of Peru. They sell

Spanish, and know nothing else, and

Peru.
They can all sing and dance, and are
very charming in appearance, but you
can see they are illiterate and ignorant ;

that the nails are not clean and that

white wrapper, often has neither no stock.

they cannot employ man competent and trust

EDMUND BURKE, late Com'r. of Patents"
mr.. r. IL. Eddy has made for me over THIRTY
applications for Patents having been successful in
almost every case. Such unmistakable proof of
great talent and ability his part leads me to rec

An Appeal for the Home for Desti-
tute Children,
June "a, 1874.

The managers of the Home for Desti-
tute Children in Burlington, Vermont,
are about to present the claims of that
worthy Charity to its friends throughout
the State, for the purpose of procuring
means to enlarge the Institution by erect
ing an addition to the present building.
The number of children in the " Home"
during the past year has averaged fifty,
and the building is entirely too small to
accommodate such family, beside, it
was erected more than twenty years ago,
for an entirely different purpose, and
contains none Of the modern labor-sav-
ing conveniences, so necessary in such an
Institution. The lowest estimate for the
needed enlargement and repairs on old
building is $4,000. and the managers
must look to those whom " God has pros
pered for the amount.
In this connection we wish to correct
an erroneous impression which seems to
prevail to some extent in relation to the
financial condition of the "Home." 1t
is sometimes said that the Home is rich
enough without begging any more. This
isa mistake The corporation own the
present building and ten acres of land,
which cost $1,000 in 1866. It has
Permanent Fund" OF a little over
$4,000, but the entire income of this
Fund )" is not sufficient to defray the
current expenses, and the deficiency is
made up every year by voluntary contri-
button.
A legacy of $4,000 from the estate OF
the late Carlos Baxter, Esq, is appro-
priated to the building fund, and the
Hon. I. w. Park of Bennington, has
subscribed $4,000 more, and gentleman
in Burlington $500, making a total of
$500 with which the ladies have to be.
gin.
Without claiming to be exact, the
above is substantially correct state
ment OF the finances Of the Corporation,
and we trust it will serve to disabuse the
public of the impression that the Insti-
tuition is not in need of more money.
On the contrary its needs are imperative
and Its necessities make us urgent that
the present season should not pass with
out some relief in the way of enlarged
accommodations.
We know it is an unfortunate time 70
solicit funds for charitable purpose
when the business of the community il
so depressed, but there is money enough
for railroads and other enterprises, and
should not our orphan and destitute chill
dren be provided for with equal liberal
ity. We cannot think that the inteIli
gent and benevolent men of Vermont
will turn deaf ear to 50 vital question
