and a man at each door of the oven puts
in long rod with kind of hoe attached
to the end, and levels the fine coal
Then the doors are closed and daubed
with soft mortar air tight, clouds of thick
black smoke pour out of the stove pipe

top of each oven. In forty-eight hours
another plug of coke will be pushed out.
Now we do not think we over-estimate
the matter when we say that this discov
cry will be worth many millions of dol
ars to Jackson county, and this is our
excuse for the length of this article
We know that there will be objections,
excuses, etc 1t costs $4,000, being as
much as the cost of furnace. That is
| true. But will the investment pay ?
Perhaps not where we have the shaft
coal. Mr.. RAIDER has been making iron
from Penns ylvania coke, which cost only
3 cents per bushel art Connellsyille Pa !;
but the freight cost to 10 cents. He
says that coke makes as good iron as
charcoal, and it sells as readily.
Now suppose company at Oak Hill,
where the iron ore of the best quality,
and unlimited quantities of coal and
limestone abound, should build furnace
of the capacity of Vinton, Is tons per
day. The entire thing could be put in
operation for 100000 With the facili-
ties in that place, iron could be made
cheaper by this process than it can be
made of raw coal at jackson. Then such
a furnace could be run all the time, pro-
ducing a charcoal iron, at figure that
would yield large per cent. upon the
capital invested, even at present prices.
The way to go at this thing with safety
is to make arrangements with the Vinton
company TO send them car coad or two
of the Oak Hill coal, have them coke ii
and fully test it, We knoac it will be q
success. Then correspond with Nolan.
ahan, Stone & Bailey, Founders and Ma
chinists, Hollidaysburg, Pa, and Web

get all the facts as to expense of the oven
and machinery.
We speak of the Oak Hill COAL because
it is so abundant in all the Southern hal
of Jackson county, where the very rich
est limestone ore is so abundant, and as
this coal is useless in its raw state for the
purpose of making iron. The Monroe
Furnace has it in abundance and it i:

E R. Alderman, editor of the Marietta
Register, has been travelling for some
time Here is an extract from his last
letter
OF fcourse went to hear Beecher in the
morning 1 came near being one of a
thousand who could not be admitted, but
1 was ushered in finally to the side and
rear of the pulpit and within few feet
of the great preacher. His audience was
three thousand. What impressed me most
and most favorably was the singing. All
sing; all have hymn-books. Led by a
fine organ, the music of three thousand
voices in devotion stirs one to enthusi-
asm in favor of congregational singing
Beecher preached good sermon, and it
was full of gospel earnestness, freed of
all the expressions that have given him
the sobriquet of pulpit joker" |, like
the famous jury, could not tell whether
he was guilty or innocent, as regards
their case. But on this occasion he was
innocent and earnest.

The Vinton Record was brought to
vinton Furnace while we were there last
Thursday, and the following editorial was
read in the office and created some mer
riment:
Vinton Furnace has coked seven oven
fulls of the regular hill coal, without
washing. which has proved a complete
success making superior quality of iron.
This completely revolutionizes the iron
business in this county, and will add
thousands upon thousand to the aggre
gate wealth of Vinton county as well as
the proprietors of the furnace.
The joke about this article is the fact
that the coal from which the coke was
made was thoroughly washed and cleans
ed, and not pound of iron has been
made with the coke, as the furnace is moi
in hlaak

DEATH OF vICE-PREsIDENT WILL
SON.

Hon. Henry Wilson, President OF
the United States. has been in poor health
ever since his election Some ten days
ago he had an attack of paralysis, from
which he partially rallied, but on Mon
day morning at u o'clock he quietly
passed away.
The following was issued by the Presi-
dent on the same day:
Executive MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %, 1879.
1t is with profound sorrow that the
President has to announce to the people
of the United States the death of Vice
President Henry Wilson, who died in the
Capitol of the Nation, this morning. The
eminent station of the deceased, his high
character, his long career in the service
of his State and of the Union, his devo-
ton to the cause of freedom and the abil-
ity which he brought to the discharge of
eyery duty stand conspicuous, and are
iudelibly impressed in the hearts and
affections of the American people.
In testimony of respect for the distin-
Ruished citizen and faithful public ser
want, the various Departments of the
Government will be closed on the day OF
the funeral, and the Executive mansion
and ali the Executive Departments in
Washington will be draped with badges
of mourning for thirty days.
The Secretaries of War and OF the
Navy will issue an order that appropriate
military and naval honors be rendered
10 the memory of one whose virtues ana
services will long be borne IN recoiiectlon
by grateful nation.

gloss and freshness Of yonth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophed and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it, If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

To the Editor of the Standard.

To the Editor Of the Standard:
In reading the Article of "Prof. c. Atchison
Lackey, Teacher of Solfeggio," think the
"Jacksonians'' ought to feel thankful for his
criticisms the MISUNDERSTANDING hoop
halloa" method of singing, which, it seems,
they have been practicing. Really, what should
they be expected to know about "slurring and
sliding from mediant to dominant dominant
to tonic, 'or the' fourfold harmony of the triple
diminished chord of the seventh of the minor
modus." or the ''semi-modifed shake in the
resolution of every skip or in short anything
whatever about the 'the-etricdl' part of music?
OF course, nobody but professor. expected
to understand all about these things. But why
should the worthy Professor recommend
that the unfortunate Jacksonians should avail
thhemselves of some good voice-b ok, and
spend from two to five years in vocal training
under some good master,-tor instance the
"Professor's' voice-book, ard under his train
ing?
Rather than continue to make q "whollop-
pen-big-fuss, as If fighting bumblebees in an
eleptical iii, why would it not be better for the
Jacksonians to attend for few weeks at some
third-rate music factory in small town where
"mediants and 'dominants" and "the-etricals"
are taught on scientific principles, and then
come out graduated, with an invisible sheep
skin fully prepared to teach ''Solfeggio," ;" write
schottisches. and criticise the performances of
their less gifted neighbors?
Certainly the shortest and cheapest course is
the best, especially if 1t produces such results as
these, and surely the Professor" from the town
of tail ceddrs, will not deny that all this has
been done, and if so. why may it not be done
again?
Perhaps the Professor could be induced to
give the poor novices of Jackson some initial
lessons at the approaching Teachers Institute.
What pity it is that none of our jackson
people can sing! Some of them imagined that
they could, but of course they know better
now.
They should heed the"Professor's" criticisms,
and get well posted in the mediants, ,dominants.
