Centennial Exhibition Prize Medal Awarded,
Eagle Anvil Works !

Made at the Oldest Anvil mandatory in this
country. All English Anvls after time, become
following on the face by continued hammerng in
USE on account Of the hrous nature of the wrought
iron-CRusing 1t to settle under the steel.
But the body of the Eagle Anvil being of crys-
tal!ized iron such settling cannot occur; and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true Also,
it has the great advantage, that being OF more
SOLID material, and, consequently, with less re-
bound, the piece forged receives the FULL effect
Of the hammer, instead of part of it being wasted
by the rebound, as with wrought iron Anvil.
More work can therefore be done on this Anvil
with hammer one-ffth lighter than required for a
wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic.
The working surface is in one piece of JEssOP's
BEST Tool CAST STEEL, accurately ground, hard
ened and given the proper temper for the heav' ~
work. The horn is of tough untempered steel
The cast steel surface lie warranted to be
oughly welded and not to come off.

his attention drawn this morning to @
published statement from John p. Phair,
in which he asserted his innocence OF
any completely in the murder. OF Mrs.
Frieze. Mr.. Downing had paid but little
attention to this case, but CHANGING to
notice that Phair laid great stress on his
INABILITY to get proof Of visit to Provi-
dence. r. T., on the evening OF June 3,
1874. and on a return from that city to
Boston on the following morning,
he began carefully to. consider the
story. He soon became impressed with
the belief that he had himself occupied
a seat with Phair on the return from
Providence, and reference to his diary
showed that he really had made the
Journey at that time. A strong point
against Phair was his alleged sale OF
some Of the murdered woman's effects
to Boston pawnbrokers at the very time
when the suspected man claimed to
tiation of his claim would be in effect to
prove him innocent. Mr.. Downing had
been very favorably impressed with his
fellow traveller, and remembered his
features distinctly. He hurried to po-
lice headquarters, and being shown the
doomed mans picture, recognized
his old time chance acquaintance. LII
was then nearly IL o clock, and Phair was
to be hung in two hours more. Almost
frantic with excitement. Mr.. Downing
rushed to q newspaper office to see what
could be done to stay the execution. A
few minutes later he was at telegraph
office, and a message, Endorsed by Col.
TAYLOR. of the Globe, was sent to Gov.
Fairbanks, at Montpelier. The Gov
