ANOTHER MEETING OF THE CREDITORS
OF THE OHIO CRY IRON AND NAIL
WoRKs.-Pur suant 70 the adjournment
the creditors Of the Ohio City Iron and
Nail Works, which has recently failed,
held their second meeting st Martins
Ferry yesterday morning, Mr.. 4.
p. Rhodes in the chair. The
meeting was not as large
as the first meeting, yet large majority
of the creditors were present.
There was great deal Of talking done
and different propositions presented, the
ultimatum of which was to get the COM
pany out of its present financial embar-
rassment, but no conclusion was arrived
at. There seems to be a wide diversity
opinion and action on the part of the
creditors, as to the best means of accom-
plishing what they all most desire, J. G., to
get the largest amount of money out OF
their invested capital, but their want OF
harmony and unison of action in regard
to procedure TO gain that end, is the
trouble. We are informed that two
propositions have been made 70 the
Benwood Nail C-mpany-one to sell the
property to the aboyc company, and the
other to lease it. A committee of three
consisting of Messrs. E. P. Rhodes, Ross
J. Alexander and Hiram Smith
WINS appointed to represent the creditors
and confer with the directors of the Ben
wood Mill. There was meeting of the
directors of that mill called for last even
ing, but we did not learn the result, if
they held meeting at all. 1t was the
understanding that the committee ap-
pointed by the Ohio City folks would
meet the directors of the Ben
wood mill this afternoon to learn
what was the result, or rather their in
teution in regard to the matter.
The meeting as held yesterday, re-
suited in nothing definite, and thus the
matter stands. The meeting adjourned
without appointing any time tor another
meeting.

MR.. II. r. STEVENS
l0DEAR 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
sweiled more than twice its natural size
He had several doctors OF high standing in
their profession-two from Boston and
three from Charlestown- without getting a
bit better. He was Obliged TO lie wherever
he was placed, for he had no use OF his
limbs whatever. When we had given up
all hopes of his living we were told 10 try
Vegetine, the great blood remedy and he
had taken II but a short time before we
bad that we had to change the cloths four
or lve times day. Still, he was getting
better; for he could move his limbs and
help himself little. He was soon able TO
sit mp In bed, and, by constant use OF Vege-
tine, It has cured him. He has n lame leg.
we all honestly believe II we had used
vegetine before we had bothered with
those doctors. 1t would have saved the use
OF his leg. and restored IL to natural health.
hope all those troubled with Scrofula
will read this testimony OF me and my son,
who is now well and able 10 speak for HIM.
