Valuable Nickle Mine.

In Lancaster county is the greatest
nickle mine in the world, and the only
one that has yet been discovered in the
United States. The mine lies upon the
dividing ridge between Chester county and
Pequa valley. Besides nickle, iron and
copper ore have been found, The copper
has been known there for seventy years.
The uickle ore is of gray color and so
hard that it can be obtained by blasting
only. After it is broken into small par
ticles il is thrown into furnace and sub
jected to a strong heat IL is then smelted
like iron. After being placed between
two heavy iron rollers and pulverized it is
sent to Camden, n j. where the copper Is
separated from the nickle. II is next
protected from foreign nickle by forty
per cent. duty The average price Of pure
nickle is about $500 pound, In the
Lancaster mine 400 or 500 tons are OBJ
tanned monthly, and about one hundred
and fifty men are employed.

With Messrs Grimm & Gallin, car
riage builders of this place, the season
has opened with briskness which must
certainly be very encouraging to those
energetic gentleman. Thus far this year,
the number of orders in their hands for
vehicles of various kinds is about thirty,
with an average of perhaps $3.50 job;
and yet the season has but fairly COM
menced. With such beginning, these
gentlemen have reason to believe that
they will be kept busy during the balance
of the year. A few days since we took
a look through their establishment, and
were greatly delighted with the many
new and highly. finished buggies which
came under our gaze, and which are all
ready for the road. That such things
of beauty will long remain on the man
ufacturers' hands is not to be supposed.
We also noticed the unfinished beds OF
what are to be two beautiful phaetons-
one double, and the other single seated
which, we we're Informed, will grace
our streets, for the first time, during the
''ieafy month" of June next, and there
after at the pleasure of the owners, who
are citizens of our village.

Col. Joseph Kelley made a rousing
speech last Saturday, to small but very
select and appreciative audience. We
did intend to make verbatim report of
his mastery effort on that occasion but
an unusual "run of bills" about
that time demanded a display of our ar
tistic skill TO the exclusion of other, and
perhaps more important matters; and so
for the present, a short synopsis,-or
rather a portion of the kernel, so to speak
of his carefully guarded, yet wonder
fully telling remarks, must suffice. To
say that he poured hot shot into his op-
ponents and "deceminated" their ranks
in an appalling manner, would be draw
ing it mild, indeed. He was for the
time, an immense human gatling-gun,
as it were, unlimbered for action, and so
skilfully manned that every available
and commanding position was in detail,
readily gained, and from which a most
CALLING, yea, withering fire would be
hurled at the enemy. First he opened
on the the untrustworthiness and "gen-
eral dammeanness" of the average poll
tician and oflice-holder, and called at
tention to the amazing stupidity or blind
ness of the people, who, he said, too
often choked off a worthy aspirant for
office to make room for a chuckle-head.
Then he let fly at the whiskey-sellers,
who, he said, always behaved in most
gentlemanly manner toward him when
he had little money, but who, as soon
as they had reason to believe that his
funds were becoming materially .dimin
ished, and saw that he was getting
"purty full" invariably expressed great
concern to the first person who happened
to step in, as to ,rherc Joe got his whiS-key,
and usually wound up by calling on the
marshal to ''come and take this old cuss
to the calaboose." Assuming an impos-
sing attitude, he said: "Now, gentle
men, these are facts. And ! ask you as
gentlemen, TO look at the id bald
faced Hypocrisy" He handled great
variety of other subjects, and all with
consummate ingenuity, and in manner
peculiarly his own-winding mp with
dive at the lawyers assuring his au-
dience that he chad forgot more law
than two-thirds of the lawyers of this
town ever knowed."
1t is to be regretted that Zoe did not
stead fastly adhere to the 'independency'
position which he had assumed year
or so ago, thereby constituting himsels
reliable nucleus around which the in
dependent element of the vicinity might
safely and pro6tably cluster in the fn-

EDITOR PREss:-Onee in while a
sale of real estate can be made in Som
erset without outside interference be
tween the parties interested. We learn
that such an instance occurred on Sat
urday last, Henry P. Lentz having sold
and conveyed on said day to Samuel
Ream, the undivided one half of 400
acres of land in the State of West Vir-
ginia for the consideration of $4,000.
We are informed by one who knows,
that this is one of the most valuable
timber, coal and mineral tracts of land
in that State. 1t is situated in Wayne
county, near the Tug branch Of the Big
Sandy River, by which the timber and
lumber can now be brought into market
by rafting, the lands in that section of
the State are being sought for by capi-
talists, large tracts have been secured by
some of the most prominent business
men of the country. One of these tracts
lying just above the now Lentz & Ream
tract on the Tug River has been secur-
ed by Cyrus W. Field of Ocean Tele-
graph celebrity and who is also well
known for his foresight and zeal in 9TH
er public matters. For him and his
compeers to invest in the lands means
| business. 1t means the building of the
Railroad already surveyed and located
up the Valley of the Big Sandy, and
Tug River Branch. It means by these
views to form never failing channel OF
communication with the Ohio River by
means of slack water navigation. 1t
means the development of the vast re-
sources of that whole country the open
ing and operating of coal mines to an
enormous extent, the mining of ores
erection of towns, villages, furnaces
manufactures, &C., and it means remun-
erative employment for thousands o.
willing hands, now idle, and suffering
No improvements can be made in the
Southwestern portion of West Virginif
without advancing the pecuniary inter
ests of Messrs. Lentz & Ream, and WI
wish them abundant and n speedy sue
cess as reward for their enterprise.

About II o'clock on Tuesday night
last, Mr. Samuel Ream's residence on
East Main street in this place, was dis
covered by some parties living on Hap
py Alley, to be on fire. A general
alarm was sounded, which had the effect
Of calling forth quite number of our
citizens, who hurrying to the scene, were
successful in subduing the fire before it
had done much damage. The fire was
clearly the work of an incendiary, as a
lot of cotton and other stuffs, saturated
with kerosene, and which were only par
TALLY burned, were found crammed in
between the weather boarding and plas-
ter, near the spot where the fire was dis
covered. We have heard Of no clue
which will likely lead to a discovery Of
the perpetrator of this piece of diabolism
Bnt there are any amonnt of theories
current concerning the motive of the in
cendiary.

The Election.

There were six distinct tickets in the
field at the election in this place on Mon
day last, and the friends of each early
busted themselves in electioneering for
their favor1te ticket Considerable en-
thuiasm was manifested on ali sides-by
the candidates and their friends-during
the day, but we are pleased to note there
was no disorder or riotous conduct; no
drunkenness or boistering talk, by
any body, and that the election passed
off eivilly and decently, as it should,
and as though it were being conducted
by civilized and rational people.
In the towonship, the Democratic
ticket was elected by an average MAORI
ty of about 125.

ED. PREss.-There is great rejoicing
in Lexington over the defeat of Kagay
for Mayor. The Herald says the Dem
ocrats of Reading have elected their en-
tire ticket and in Somerset have elected
Woodward for Mayor over Kagay.
This is a sly and mean attempt to class
Kagay where the Herald kno,es he does
not belong.
Both candidates for Mayor were DEM
ocrats and both ran on naired tickets, and
both, if true to their friends, voted mix
ed tickets for corporation officers.
The Herald need not plume its pinions
for such lofty flights over small mat
ter. It will live to hear from Kagay on
the only issue it tries to smother but
cannot smother. The truth is Somer-
set desires Kagay to fight the County
Seat question and cannot spare him for
SO small an Office as mayor. Now, do
you hedTF JUSTICE.
