The Bucks County Historical Society
held its quarterly meeting at Durham
Furnace, on the banks of the Delaware,
yesterday. The morning line up on the
Belvidere Div. of the Penna. r. r.,
brought about one hundred and fifty
members and friends, about seventy five
of whom took an excursion from Lambert
vile, and crossed the river direct to the
grounds on the railroad aud ferry of the
iron works at that place. Ample arrang-
ments had been made in Durham Cave
for the occasion--foor, seats and plat
folm, and the cool air of the cavern,
rendered it delightful. Col. w. W. II.

to order at 10 A. M, and after some open
ing remarks, G. e. Hindenach, of Reigels-
vile, read paper on Education in Dur

were well written and read, and were
listened to with profound attention, after

journment till Q p. M. All were invited
to the residence of b. f. Fackenthall

five partook Of his inequalities. Mr. T.

caterer, and no one was uncared for on
these premises. At one O'Clock the Fur
mace was ready for "run" and the crowd
witnessed one of the usual large quanti-
ties OF molten iron run into pig-iron.
These extensive works were then shown
and at the hour of two, all assembled
(many Others having IN the meantime
come 10 from the surrounding country
to the number Of about five hundred, and
attentively listened to an able production
by Rev. A. r. Horne, of Allentown, on

racy and all we're delighted. Mr.. Pas
call, of Doylestowu, read paper on Seen.
