THE IRIS IRON MILL.
This Honor Claimed bya Massa.
Chusetts Town.

In 1852 James and Henry Leonard
establi7hed the first bloomery in
America, at Taunton, Massachusetts.
A correspondent says that the Leonard
establishment was about two and a
half miles from Taunton Center. now
Raynham. Henry Leonard, a brother
Of James, leaving the latter and his
son to carry on the business in Taun-
ton, went to New Jersey, and estab-
lished a bloomery there. He removed
to that state because the ore was much
more profitable in its yield, and
purer.
When tho British parliament pro-
hlblted the manufacture of iron in the
colony, in 1850, there were three
bloomeries at Taunton, carried on by
the Leonards, Deans, Kings and Halls.
all akin by intermarriage. They dug
their ore in the peighborhood, all
along the streams which enter into the
Taunton river, mostly along NOanoe
river and also in the bogs Of 1.-TWO
Mile river 1t is proper to add that
the parliamentary prohibition did not
stop the work.
The first furnace for making mig
iron, according to a recent letter
to the Philadelphia Press frem Prin.

at that place in l712, and its account
books are preserved dating as far back
as l725. In l7N the record shows

Our Conscientious Minister 10
Belgium.

Washington special to Cincinnati Gazette.l
The resignation of Colonel w. G..
GoodlOe, minister to Belgium, is for
the purpose Of returning to take part
in the approaching campaign. This
was his intention when he left in the
spring for his post, after leave of alb
sence. He was very anxious to enter
the campaign, and evidently did not
think that a proper respect for the
presidents civil service order would
allow a member of the diplomatic SER
vice to do this without resigning.
There have been many fruitless in
quiries as to the identity of his sue
cessor during the evening, and tele-
grams to New York failed to bring
definite information. If Mr., Evarts
can be found later, the regular report
will make him known to the country.

Thursday last the body was disintcrred and
examined by a physician, when it was
found to contain % shot-l0 in the body
and 10 in the arm. The wounds were such
as could not have been inflicted by gun in
his own hands, and the jury of inquest,
after carefully investigating the whole mat
ter, returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death from wounds inflicted by
deadly weapon in the hands of his brother,
James Sullivan, who has been arrested and
lodged in Abbeville Jail.
There has been very suspicious charac-
ter for the past week or ten days in Rock
Mills Township. lie is white man of
superior intelligence and extensive informa-
ton, is fifty or sixty years old, and claims
to hail originally from New York, but says
that he has lived in the South for many
years, and that he fought in the late civil
war on the Confederate side. When he first
came :into this county he departed himself
becomingly, but soon began associating with
negroes and sleeping in their houses. He
makes it point to ascertain, as far as pos
sible, the political opinions of every white
man he meets, and it is believed that he is
endeavoring To infame the minds of the
colored people against their white neigh
bors. He has every appearance of q profes-
sional tramp, and everywhere imposes upon
the liberal-hearted people. He is evidently
bad man, and should be closely watched
by our people.

ED- WE desire to inform the public gen.
orally of our prospectus for this year.
| While we are thankful to all for their libe-
raj share of patronage bestowed upon us
during the last few years, we feel satisfied
that we have fully meritcd our great success.
1t was due to no especial good fortune, but
the result of q combination Of causes
principally of which is, our strict cash sys-
tenn. We have to sustain no losses, run no
risks, but receive the cash for every article
sold. AS our expenses are small, compared
with the amount of business we transact, a
small margin will suffice, and we firmly be-
lieve in the maxim, "make slow haste to be
rich."
While at all times we offer great bar
gains to our many customers, we shall adopt
for this year the metropolitan idea of hay
ing Especial Sales in certain Departments. !"
We have no doubt that it will be successful
for the ladies will soon find out that if we
have Special Sale in Embroideries, for
instance, for one week, the low prices for
the time being are Especial" and much be-
low regular value. It thus creates mu-
tual interest, for while We are selling those
goods at Especial Prices" we will sell twice
as many of them; and by buying twice as
much as We used to, we certainly will buy
cheaper. Our inaugural sale will last thirty
days, beginning February 1st, and in order
to introduce this system will be exception
ally grand, our whole stock of Winter
Goods are to be offered-in spite Of the re-
cent adyances-at lower prices than ever,
and We hope our many friends will come
and look, if nothing more.
For the coming season, besides IN I'M
MENSE STOCK OF DRY GOODS, we
shall have line of Ladies', Misses and
Childrens' SHOES that is unsurpassed in
this State, the orders for which we have
given already. as each pair is made to our
order and warranted.
We shall also have q complete line of
samples of Cloths and Cassimeres-up to
the very fnest-and make to order all kinds
of garments for gentlemen in the very la
test styles.
Our stock of Millinery Goods shall be
complete, thus supplying q long needed
want-an effort that We know the ladies
will appreciate. Everything that is desira-
BILE and new, we intend to show it, and our
stock shall be first-class in every particular,
and our prices always the very lowest.
