Cincinnati Iron Trade.

CINCINNATI, March 81, 1873.
Messrs. Matthew Addy & Co, dealers
in pig iron and iron ores, report the fol-
lowing "a the condition Of the market:
That the consumption Of pig iron Of all
grades Is growing larger Is evident in the
increased business Of the past week and
the greater number Of inquiries from
nearly all directions. The large offer.
ings, however, prevent any beneficial Of.
feet on prices that otherwise might ensue
from the improved demand, and until
there Il very material reduction Of
stocks, any upward tendency Is hardly
probable.

The SurveyOr-GeneraIsh'p.

EDITOR HERALD: From late San
Francisco papers 1 gather the in
formation that there is lively
fight going on as to who shall be
the successor of the late J. W..
Ames as United States Surveyor
General for this State. The San
Francisco Bulletin seems to favor a
citizen of this town; and, without
casting any aspersions upon any
candidate, 1 wish to say few
words in favor of j. A. Robinson,
the Chief Clerk. For some eight
years past 1 have had q great deal
of business before the United
States Surveyor General; and,
upon every occasion, L have found
Mr.. Robinson not only polite, gen.
tlemanly and obliging. but also
thoroughly honest, straight-for-
ward and capable. He has, in fact,
been the Surveyor-G General, al
though not in name, Now, ia the
name of all that is fair and honest,
let him have the name and the at
tendant honors. No one will dis.
pute his ability to honorably and
successfully fulfill the duties of the
office; neither will it be denied
that, by long and faithful service,
he has justly merited the promo.
ton. The appointment of J. A.
Robinson as United States Sur
veyor. General will not only make
him in name what he for years past
has been in fact, but will also be ac-
cepted as an earnest of good faith
as to Civil Service Reform, and
also be an act not only acquiesced
in but sincerely desired by a large
majority of those having business
in that office. Yours respectfully,

Selcs.

This Mission, established for the
convenience of q neighborhood
several miles distant from the city
churches, I am pleased to know, is
Il success. Last Sunday, Easter
Day, the Georgia street school
house was appropriately decorated
with flowers In greatest profu-
sion, the display, especially about
the altar and lecturn, being in
deed elegant. The pastor In charge
was assisted by the Rev. Mr.. Gray,
the school-room being filled with
a deeply interested audience. A
number of children were baptized,
and the Holy Communion was
celebrated. Judging from appear
ances, those engaged il this good
work of afIording an opportunity
to all people of the neighborhood
for public worship, who, otherwise,
might be unable to attend upon the
same, have every reason to feel
greatly encouraged.

day charged with following young
Misses and annoying them by at
tentions. In explanation of his
conduct this lady killer intimated
that his attentions were nearly
always acceptable to ladies whom
he met on the streets. The Judge,
however, did not view the matter in
this light and gave the young man
the option Of paying $40 into the
city's Golfers or going to the chain
gang for ten days. Not having
