IMMENSE IMPORTATIONS OF
IRON.

One of the most surprising features Of
the iron trade at this time, and one that
is not less annoying than surprising, Is
the immense importation Of ore and
iron from Eupean counties. We append
below a report of the importations now
being received at the port of Baltimore,
which, if we mistake not, will open the
ewes of even some OF our iron men.
II we did not have superabundance
Of these commodities buried i'm our hills,
and accessible at small expense, there
would be nothing strange in this pro-
cccdug. But we have; and with a
more marked lack OF enterprise than
Americans manifest in almost anything
else, our native resources are left undc-
yelopcd, and we 20 to Europe, Asia

number of miles Of road, and vet these
two cities 70 to the uttermost parts OF

West Virginia is begging them to take
at their own price. We therefore, read
the following statements with some cha

it has not been officially declared that

But It is now claimed upon outside

IL i'm the official count, OF about 100
votes
The State Board of Canvassers will
meet at noon ON thcl2th inst, one week
from to-day, i'm the office OF the Secreta-
~ Of State at Albany. After the ~
turns have been counted the official de-
claration will be made.
The decision ri this Board is final AMI
irrrvucable. They report 20 the Legis-
laturc, and the latter must accept it, and
has mo- power to 90 behind the returns.
What power the Board itself has TO
examine into the conduct OF the election
and 10 throw out votes, seems to be a
matter upon which there Is difference Of
opinion, but like the Louisiana Board,
they will doubtless exercise large liberty
according as their party interests in
cline them.
The Board will, at least, have a very
nicc-very important point 20 deter
mine, upon which, probably, the result
of the election for Lieutenant Governor
will hang. Upon considerable
number of tickets the initials OF Mr..
PorrER's name were printed G. NJ. in
stead Of c.. y. Il Is not doubted that
the persons who voted these tickets IN
tended to vote for the Democratic NOM
inee. CLARKsON y. PoTrER, but literally
they did not, and the Board will, proba-
bly,. not count these tickets.
The vote is so close that, If the Board
undertakes TO bevery accurate and very
inst to the contesting parties, the
chances are very evenly divided be-
tween them.

A SOUTHERN correspondent Of the GIN
cinnati Go-sgs, who is travelling in the
cotton producing States Tor the Pur-
pose Of learning the condition OF the
agricultural population, both white and
black. at the close OF harvest, writes that
oiust now is the most peaceful and
PROSPEROUS time the blacks OF MiSsis-
sippi have had since the war, more
especially on the Louisiana side and IN
the upper parishes. Almost every black
man ON that side WHO ~taid at home
has cotton enough TO pay his debts and
a good deal of money lett. In many
localities cotton pickcrs got from
scventv-fve cents to q dollar hundred,
and a man and vile will often earn five
or six dollars day-but the average
earnings are put at ten dollars per week.

son will last until Christmas, and man
would he a lunatic 10 leave such a

THERE is nothing mean about Gen.
WEAVER. a Greruback member of Con-
grrsS. His proposition is to dip into

drcL millions Of dollars, in order toput
the soldiers of the late war, who were
paid i'm paper, ON an equality with the
bonlholdcrs who were paid in gold
lie wants now To give tine soldiers the
difference between the paper they re-
ccived and gold at the time they were
paid. For instance, the soldier who, in
the summer Of 1864, drew one hundred
dollars pay i'm greenbacks, would now
be- entitled 20 receive Sl5S additional,
that being the difference at that time,
counting the premium ON gold. 1t IS
calculated that it will only require the
small sum Of five hundred millions to
square this little matter. OF course the
soldiers will an Dee for il, and So will the
politicians who want the soldiers votes,
and what party will be bold enough to
oppose il?

A Curious CAsE.-Undtr this cap
ton The Rutland Herald has the FOL-
lowing:
Sometime last June q woman
brought q child to DR.. Goldsmith
about two years and half old, but
still at the breast, who was suffering
from ricketts,. The child was very
much deformed. The usual remedies
had been faithfully tried but in vain.
The doctor advised the woman to
stop nursing the child, and in place OF
her own milk to feed 1t the milk Ct one
or more bitches, and directed that the
bitches should be fed largely on bones,
or at least that they should have bones
as part Of their diet. These direc-
TOPS were followed and yesterday the
child was brought to Rutland. The
detormities caused by ricketts, had al
most entirely disappeared and the
child was able to walk alone across the
room. The solutions Of the cure was
simply, that while The womans milk
has but one and one halt per cent OF
phosphate Of lime (bone earth) the
bitch milk has about ten times that
amount Of phosphate Of lime.
