 Our Foreign Readers. In our issue of June 9th we published an item in relation to the new Tobey Hill ore bed, in which we casually remarked that the erection of @ new furnace there was contemplated. Last week George w. Peet, Esq, of this village received letter directed as follows:-''The New Blast Furnace Company, Tobey Hill, Conn.,, U. s. America" This letter was dated at "Middlesburgh, Yorkshire, Eng. land, July 9th, 1S77." The writer stated that he had heard new blast furnace was to be erected at Tobey Hill, and desired to contract for doing the work on a new and improved plan of constructing furnaces. MT. Pset tells us he knows of no possible way this Englishman could have learned concerning the erection of furnace at To-
 bey Hill, only by the item, and asked us with look of surprise on his countenance if we had subscribers in England. MT
 Peet cannot be accused of not being thor oughIy posted in pretty much everything that is worth knowing, and he should have known amongst everything else that tn, CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS and the Nea
 YorE Herald is read in every civilized country in the world. 4..,.. .,..
 Many of our readers will remember hoV
 we succeeded in finding the runaway sol of Liverpool gentleman, whom we me
 while in England. When we returned
 from our transatlantic trip we urged thi
 "rollicking lAd," as his father called him II
 his conversation with us, If he had spari
 of filial affection in his breast, to return te
 his aged parents, who in their old age wer
 distressed at his absence in some unknowl
 region of this country. We printed his
 name in large letters in order to attract a
 tention and sent off the papers on their el
 rand. A few weeks afterward we receive
 long letter from this ''rollicking lad.
 The NEWS had searched him out in hi
 hiding place in Mlllview, Escambia County
 Florida; away off in one corner of ths
 sparselY settled state, and he needed ou
 appeal and promised to communicate 6
 once with his parents and would soon r.
 turn home. "Oh ye of little faith" wh
 think to advertise in the newspapers k
 money uselessly expended. If you war
