TurF.uu.s or THE OHIO VALLEY
IRox AND NAIL Works OF MARTINS
FxRsY.--We were informed yesterday
from reliable sources that the Ohio
Valley Iron and Nail Works at Martins
Ferry, had made an assignment of their
property to Ross j. Alexander, OF
Bridgeport, Ohio, who had appointed
Hiram Smith, ESQ., of Martins
Ferry, as agent. The haoli
tiles of the concern are SAID
not to exceed over $3.50 The assets,
such as stock on hand, and manufactured
material. will nearly reach that amount.
The immediate cause Of the assignment
is, among other things, attributed to
some financial difficulty with tho Steu.
benyille Furnace and Iron Manufactur-
ing Company, who hold several tnou-
sand dollars of their paper, and
have been disposed to push them.
This, together with number OF
heavy losses sustained, lack of con-
fldence in the ability of the works TO
meet ali demands, and the general de-
preston of trade; has brought about the
unfortunate state of affairs.
From the information gathered we un.
derstand that the total capital OF the COM
pauy is $4,000. OF this amount about
$125OOO has been paid in. There is
bounded debt on the works Of say S49,ooO
The principal stakeholder is VIM
Clark, the President, who is probably In
terested to the amount Of $4,000. The
only loss sustained by any OF the banks
in this vicinity that has been ascertain
ed is the Ohio Valley Bank, o
Martins Ferry, which holds o
their paper, as we are told, abou
$500. Some of the merchants or
both sides of the river hold more o.
less of the company's scrip Issued 10 en-
ployees, but as the liabilities are com
paratively small, and much distributed
only the workingmen will be seriously
effected. But as the mill is still run
ming and may continue to go, on they
will not feel the blow as severely us if i
should stop.
We hope that this source ofwealth ane
industry to our friends over the river ma.
soon settle its embarrassment in such ,
way that little suffering or loss will &C
crue to anyone. Indeed we do not SCI
why it should have got into its presen
trouble, with so much good property a
its back and so limited an amount of liza
bilities.
The mill employs probably from $50 tt
200 workmen, including boys.
There will be meeting of the cred
itors of the works/on Friday next at two
o'clock p. NJ, t9eonsqlt over matters.

viii Cleanse Scrofula from
the System.
HONEST OPINION.

Mr.. II. X STbNENS:-
DEAR SIR-This is To show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1854, with
Scrofula, which came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg was
swelled more than twice its natural size
He had several doctors of high standing in
their profession-two nom Boston and
three from Charlestown- without getting
bit better. He was Obliged TO lie wherever
8 he was placed, for he had no use of his
81 limbs whatever. When we had given up
all hopes of his living we were told TO try
Vegetine, the great blood remedy; and ne
had taken IL but short time before we
could see great change. The sores run so
bad that we had 10 change the cloths four
better; for he could move his INNS and
help himself a little. He WAS soon able 10
sit up in bed, and, by constant nze of Vepe-
tine. IL has cured him. He has lame loo
which he will probably have for life. but
we all honestly believe IL we had used
Vegetine before We had bothered with
those doctors. 1t would have saved the use
of hisleg. and restored IL TO natural health.
hope all those troubled with Scrofula
who is now well and able to speak for him.

"Danicl Derondn."

We must judge novel by George Eliot as
we would judge play of Shakespeare
not so much by its artistic MS its philosoph-
icai treatment of its subject. Judged by the
ordinary rules of art rs is clearly shown in
our review this morning, her latest work,
Daniel Doronda," is failure. Her charac-
ters are grandly developed, but in this
story their end is unworthy of the gran
deur OF their creation. 1t is often
SO with the noblest tragedies of Shake
spearc. Many of his most magnificent
play-pocms end with q lame and impotent
conclusion, the curtain falling upon acts
which are without such situation" MS the
Shakespeare is none the less the leading
genius of all time and of oil the world In
the development of human motives, in the
correlation Of human thought and human
actions, in the invcstiture of her characters
with all the fbres and forces, the activity
and realism of q creation, she is to modern
fiction what Shakespeare is to the drama In
literature the first place is Shakespeare's, of
course, but the next is George Eliot's
Richardson and Fielding and the rest of the
earlier English novelists were mere story
tellers. Sir Walter Scott invested fiction
with the charms of history, but his history
was only fiction after all. Dickens gave his
characters rude and vigorous personality,
but their fun and frolic were always coarse,
and tho best of them owed their person
ality even to some catchword or phrase
Thackeray far exceeded the novelists who
preceded him and the novelists of his own
day in philosophical spiri. as we'll as in
artistic completeness and finish, but his
philosophy often was only another name for
cynicism. In every art except that of con-
struction George Eliot is his equal, and in
philosophical insight sho is his superior.

THE WEATHER. movement of the
area of low pressure from the westward has
been very rapid. 1t has passed our meridian
some five hours ahead of the time predicted
in the HERALD, and marked its presence bv
sharp rain shower last evening, which,
however, did not last long. Two areas, one
of high and the other of low barometer, in
close proximity, are now advancing toward
us, the former over the upper lakes
and the latter through the lower Mis-
souri, Valley. We will, therefore, expe-
rience for short time decidedly cool and
clear weather, which will, however, be
quickly followed by rise in temperature,
with cloudiness and rain. The indications
in the Gulf of Mexico are unfavorable. A
depression is evidently moving westward
over the West Indies which will soon be felt
in the Gulf Light rains have occurred in
the Middle States and on the South Atlantic
coast. The weather in New York to-day will
be cooler and partly cloudy.
