THE LoWMooR FURNACE.-We are plels.
ed to state that the capital stock of $500
has been subscribed and paid in to erect Is
ton furnace at Lowmoor, under the superin-
tendency of Mr.. G. T.. Wickes. The fur
mace is now in process of construction, and
located Immediately on the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railroad, about three miles from the
immense ore deposits of the company, in
Allegheny county, Work will proceed as
rapidly as men and money can make it, and
in twelve months we expect to hear of the
furnace being in active operation. Hereto
fore the Lowmoor company have been ship
ping their ores, furnishing @uinniment with
but the purpose is to not only utalize the
products OF their ore beds, but to manufac-
ture coke in the New River district for that
purpose.
We will not be surprised to hear OF other
furnaces going up during the year. The
great wealth Of the iron and coal districts of
Virginia and West Virginia are beginning to
attract the attention of capitalists, and it is
here where the coal and ore may be brought
together to manufacture iron at the lowest
cost. With the exception of Echols, Bell &
Catlett, of this place, and Mr.. Means of Ken
lucky, the members of this company are all
northern men and large capitalists, and we
may add, all Republicans, including Mr..
Means, and excepting the Stanton gentle
men, who ought to be, as stheir observation
and business intercourse have shown them,
no doubt, that the great enterprises of the
country are driven by gentlemen identified
with that party.
SALE OF VALUABLE PRoPERTY.-The
unparalleled success that has attended the
efforts of Mr.. VIM. Fitzwater to introduce
the Providence Washer in this section, and
the large demand now made for the ma
chimes have induced him to 60 into their ex-
tensive manufacture, ard with this in view
he has purchased the furniture factory of
Mr.. T. w. Lambert, of Waynesboro, one OF
the best sites and most valuable manufac-
turing properties in the Valley. 1t is Mr..
iFitzwater's design to devote almost the en-
tire capacity of this large establishment to
constructing the Providence washers, that
he may thereby be enabled to meet the in
',reasing demand for the machines. Wherev
er they have been exhibited large sales have
followed, and the result is Chat the supplies
have been exhausted. With tie increased |
facilities gained by his purchase, and the
adaptation OF the machinery to the special
purpose, it will materially reduce the cost OF
construction, and enable him to promptly
fill all orders.
In this connection We wish to correct an
error made in cur n3tice of this machine
last week. We then stated that of the eleven
State rights sold, some of theEa had reached
IS high as $500. That was the price paid
Tor some OF the county rights, while the ter
'itory OF each of several States has been ,
disposed OF for the sum OF SIS 1000. We IN.
lerstand that Mr.. T. w. Lambert has mr. {
hAsed one OF the State rights, and will ]
thoroughly canyass the territory. s

Markets..

The markets, generally, are comparative
ly dull this week. Yesterday flour, extra.
was quoted at s4.S5 to 81 80. Wheat was
sold, prime article, at s1.07. Oats IS cents.
corn 45 cts, Bacon, hog round, Z cts. The
transactions have been light, very little Of

quoted in baltimore on the End, at s1.15 to
SIG. In Richmond at 81. 10 to 81. 20.
The promise OF much larger crop than
was expected six weeks ago, is still more en-

United States assure us that the yield of
wheat will be larger than was anticipated.

SUNDAY SCHOOL ADDRESS. exer-
cises aC the Methodist church last Sunday
night, held in the especial interest of the Sun
day School scholars, were largely attended.
The scholars, officers and teachers oc cupied
the middle block Of pews, and the side pews
and galleries By adults. After singing, led
by the school, and prayer, DR.. Hough, the
pastor, announced. as the basis OF his re-
marks, the 20 and 81 verses of the 18th chap
ter of 1st John. The main object of the
special service was to bring to the attention
of the school the Importance of missions,
both foreign and domestic. After fully ex-
planning what the church meant by the terms
foreign and domestic missions, he endeavor>
ed to impress on the minds of the children
and congregation the Importance of sustain
ing the present missions by liberal contri-
buttons. The sermon Or address was quite
interesting and impresssve..tq the children
and adults as we'll, delivered with the speak
er's earnest manner, and in language plain
and simple so as to be comp rehended by all.
We have no doubt that, from the earnes5a nd
close attention of the audience, good will
result from the exercises.

The Saratoga Season.
SARATOGA, June 80, 1870.

Mrs. A. L. Stewart and Judge Hilton
and his family arrived at the Grand
Union Hotel last Saturday evening and
took possession of their apartments
The suite of rooms set apart for them
are twelve in number on the first floor.
Eight of them, which Mrs. Stewart and
her friends occupy, look out upon the
hotel park. The apartments have been
newly finished in very expensive style,
and the furniture is exceedingly rich.
Judge Hilton's parlor is fitted out Who'll
ly with antique furniture, old as to the
wood and design, but new as to uphol-
stering. The rich lace curtains at Mrs.
extremely novel in hotel drapery. The
"royal family" has come to stay, hence
the season at the Grand Union is re-
garded as formally begun.
An unique feature attended the arri-
val of Mrs. Stewart and her company.
One of the new things at the Grand
Union this season is the electric light
ming, which has been most successful.
One of the lamps is situated on the roof
of the central tower, and on Saturday
night it was lighted for the first time.
When the New York train arriving here
at 8:l5 o'clock in the evening was sight
ed from the hotel tower, the focused
ray of the electric lamp was turned
upon the track mile and half away
from this point; it followed, or rather
accompanied, the incoming party all
the way to the station. At the furthest
point the light was broad enough to en-
velOpe the entire train, but us the latter
neared the village the drawing room
car in which Mrs. Stewart was riding
received the greatest benefit from the
superb illumination. There are five
generators used in the Grand Unions
electric apparatus, each of them feeding
a lamp. Four of the lights are suspend
ed among the elms of the court, and
one occupies the top of the central
tower. They were all tried on Satur-
day night, and were found to be sue
cessful. The light on the tower is used
with a powerful reflector, which re-
wolves at the will of the operator. The
light is thus made to sweep the whole
landscape within sight of the tower.
Reports have reached the village that
the light was observed last evening at
points from six to ten miles away.
When the tower lamp was lighted on
Saturday night rain was falling, and
the drops crossing the light looked like
snOwf flakes. To a person looking stead
lily at them moment there appeared
to be vast cone-shaped wheel, polish
ed to the brilliancy of silver revolving
at rapid rate. The novel spectacle
was viewed by thousands who stood
under umbrellas in the streets and on
the piazzas. By using colored glass be-
fore the light the cone becomes red
or blue or yellow. The quick flashes
of binding light as the ray was made
to dodge about the pillars caused MANY
persons who were not aware of its orr
gin to prepare for a heavy storm. The
apparatus used is of the Maxim patent.
This morning the proprietors of the
Hathorn Spring. began business under
their new policy of charging an admis-
sion fee of five cents to the spring. This
| is the first time, believe, that a charge
