Valuable Tin Discoveries i'm Alabama.

From late number of the ashland
BANNER, Clay County, Alabama, we
learn of the discovery OF large and
valuable lodes of tin bearing rocks, at
the Broad Arrow Mines, near that place.
Within the last year Mr.. g. W. Gesner,
of this city, having secured proprietary
rights to the above lands, has erected
machinery for crushing, stamping, and
washing the ores, and is now engaged
in working on an extensive scale.
The ore has hitherto been found
chiefly as finely disseminated oxide
in gneiss, as in Germany and other
localities, but indications strongly point
to the existence of the compact oxide,
cassiterite, somewhere in the lake. AS
the locality is readily accessible by
railroad to Talladega, Alabama, and
thence about twenty-five miles to Ash
land it is confidently expected that
this discovery and enterprise will be
che means of attracting attention to Il
section hitherto little known. The
country is we'll wooded and watered,
of mountainous character, and emf
nently adapted for mining pursuits. II
is worthy CT mention that this is the
first attempt in the United States to
work tin ore on the spot where found

Railroad Fare In Texas.
St. Louis Railroad Review.

The three cents per mile rate, to
which the railroads of Texas are by law
limited, is perhaps not too small for
most of them. Where a road runs
through populous section of country
and has large patronage it can afford
to carry passengers for three cents per
mile. The reports of most of the Texas
roads show that their revenues have
grown much larger .insteadof smaller
since the law went into effect; and in
this instance, as in others which have
come under the observation of railroad
men during the last few years, it has
sufficiently appeard that reductions in
rates of fare result in more travel.
When these reductions are reasonable
the roads making them will show great
er gains. But the trouble in Texas is
that the State is very large, and some
sections sparsely settled. Many of its
railroads, too, are long lines extending
thorugh sections with small as well as
those having large population. On
these lines there ought not to prevail
the same rate for all divisions. The
Texas & Pacific, for example, can make
money on its eastern division when it
can get three cents per mile, but on the
western half of the line ten cents per
mile is not an unreasonable rate. What
is needed is a revision of the present
law, a readjustment OF rates and clas-
sification of roads. Upon some of these
it should be lawful to charge six or
eight, or even ten cents per mile, while
on others the rates could be fixed at
three or four cents per mile. If this
revision is made the Texas railroad
companies would be satisfied, and some
encouragement would be furnished to
capitalists to invest more meney in
new roads in the State.

HOW TO PLUCK POULTRY.

Journal of Horticulture 1 have
known persons on market day to &C
out and kill twelve or fifteen fowls,
and to bring them into a room where
there would be half a dozen women
and boys pulling asfew feathers at a
time, between the thumb and fore
finger, to prevent tearing them. Now
for the benefit of such I will give our
plan: Hang the fowl by the feet by a
small cord; then, with small knife,
give one cut across the upper jaw, op.
posite the corners of the mouth; after
the blood has stopped running stream;
place the point of the knife in the
groove in the upper part of the mouth,
run the blade up into the back part of
the head, which will cause twitch-
ing of the muscles. Now is your
time, for every feather yields as if by
magic, and there is no danger of tear
ing the most tender chick. Before he
attempts to flap you can have him as
bare as the day he came out of the
egg.
