Jed. Hotchkiss, acting for J. Wesley Friend,
ESQ.,, trustee, has sold to Mr.. j. 81. Bran
hall, of the Quinnemont Furnace, the Roar
ing Run Iron Property. containing $500
acres, for $4,000 This property is located
on Rich Patch Mountain, in Allegheny CO.,
On the line Of the James River and Allegha-
ny Railroad, and about three miles from the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. Mr.. Bramhall,
after consultation with Mr.. II. C. Parson,
now President of the James River and Allie
shany Railroad, and becoming satisfied that
the road would be speedily constructed, de-
termined on purchase, which gives to
Quinnemont the control of ores i'll her own

heretofore, on others. The extensive coking
operations at Quinnemont makes 1t important
to that industry that they should control the
ores used 10 the manufacture Of pig iron.

will bring these two essential interests to-
gether.

in the State. New and appropriate scenery
will be provided, and the orchestra OF the

Of next, the new hall will be completed, and
by the time the opera is ready for the boards
nothing will be lacking to insure its COM

CONVICTION, the county seat OF Allegheny
county, is in a good location, and the future
has in store for it most cheering promise.
1t is midway between the iron and coal dis.
tricts OF Virginia ard West Virginia, with
beautiful and inviting stretch of country
surrounding it, admirably adapted for man
ufacturing purposes. Jackson's River runs
by it, furnishing abundance of water for all
purposes. Limestone and timber exist in
large quantities. With the revival of busi-
ness generally, and the development OF The
mineral wealth Of the two Virginias, along
the line of the Chesapeake 6 Ohio Railway,
Covington will attract attention as a seat
for manufacturing enterprise, especially the
point where the coal and iron can be brought
together at little cost and to great advan-
tage. We look forward confidently TO the
future of Covington.

THE ELECTION which comes of next
Thursday promises to be far more exciting
than was at first anticipated. The candl-
dltes have been unusually active during the
last fortnight and there is scarcely soyer-
eien from the mountains to the mountains
again that has not been i'nportuned. Still
hunting is the popular mode of clectioneer-
ing. Among those who have the best right
to know, the apprehension is that the vote
will be an exceedingly small one, in conss-
uuence of the non payment OF the capita
ton tax. The tax Collectors books, we
are informed, show page after page OF de-
| lnquents, and unless an unnsuiliy patriotic
effort is made there will be many a one who
viii fail to deposit a ballot.
| BOARD OF HEALTH.-The newly selected
Board of Health, consisting OF Dfs. B. NJ.
Atkinson, A. NJ. Fauntleroy and j. NJ. Han
ger, held its first meeting Oil Tuesday night
last, and effected an organization by the
election OF DR.. Fauntleroy as chairman.
The provisions Of the ordinance creating
this body are familiar to our readers, having
been published in this paper several weeks
ago. At the meeting Tuesday it was de-
termined that the Board as body make
a thorough inspection of the town, andmake
such suggestions as in its judgment may
seem best. After everything has been put
in working order, the town will be divided
into three districts, one to each physician,
and in this way careful and continuous
supervision will be exercised.
