THE STEEPHILL MARBLE.-We were
shown this week by Col. John L. Peyton,
a slab of marble taken from his estate near
this city, the recent discovery of which we
noticed some weeks ago. This specimen
had just been received from Baltimore,
where Col Peyton had sent it to be tested
and dressed at the marble works of Messrs
Sisson & Co. 1t is indeed, pretty speci-
men of reddish marble, of a compact.
granular and crystalline texture, admit
ting of high degree Of polish, aud is con-
sidered by judges, to be we'll adapted to all
the indoor uses to which the best marble is
put. Col. Peyton has been prospecting
about the vein and thinks the supply will
prove almost inexhaustible. He will prob.
ably make arrangements shortly to have
the vein worked. 1t promises to be very
valuable,
