THAT SMELTER.

Ever since We arrived in this county,
We have heard weekly, that some one
would erect smsltsr in this neigh.
borhoed, in the near future, or in
thirty days, or very soon, but a. yet
there is no smelter and the want
still sxists. At one time it IL some
rich capitalist that 10 70 confer the
smsltsr blssaing upon rs, at another
some strong company from the ont
cid" ID going 10 dsrken the sun with
the smoke Of their works. bat it has
always ended in smoke. In the
mean time our miners struggle on.
and wait in hope that 20 long deferred
makes the heart sick for a cheaper
reduction Of their ores. Is It not
about time to give mp the notion Of
some one from the outside erecting
the needed works here, snd endeavor-
to devise sone plan among ourselves
Tor the erection Of the aforesaid
smeltsrfIf our miners combine them
selves into q society for mutual aid
and bene6t, which We believe 10 the
object Of the projected union, this
matter will be within their power.
They can easily form q smelter com
pany. and subscribe the amount Of
stock necessary to erect and equip 1t
for running, and each stock holder
could have his ore smelted at home
Tor just the cost smelling it. The
erection Of the works by the miners
themselves is practicable, and they
have the capital required for the en-
terprise. Suppose that each man
who subscribes share Of stock were
obliged 10 mortgage his mine or claim
to rs,se the money to pay for his
share Of stock. Well, If tho mine be
worth anything the amount against
1t would he mere trife, which he
would be easily able to pay, or il the
mine could not clear the debt, the |
sooner be was foreclosed and sold out |
Of it the better. II would be a very
low grade Of ore that would not see
Ehs miner through, and il the smsltsr
should be gwen away at the end Of
The year and all invested in it lost,
bach stockholder, il his ore smsltsd
during the year was proportinste TO
his stock, would be the gamer. II
he outsiders will not build this
'melter, let the people here build ii
II can be done.

TAXES.

There was o tax created for the
payment Of the bonds givec for the
erection Of the Court House and Jail.
This tax was regularly collected and
appropriated to its Legitimate pur-
pose, until all the bonds were fully
paid which was over year ago, and
which left Of said tax over $l,7OO in
the treasury, where ii has ever since
remained idle. There is no good
reason Why this money should not
be transferred to the General fund,
and be used TO redeem and retire
warrants which are bearing interest.
Our Supervisors, We believe, have the
matter under consideration.

Loss OF AN ALEX SCHoON-
ER.-The schooner Henry Lippitt, Captain
Howes, from New Orleans for Warren, ar
rived ut Providence. R. l., yesterday, hav-
ing on board Capt. J. Il. Davis and crew of
nice men, of the four-masted schooner VIM.
T. Hart Capt. Davis says he left Baltimore
on Friday last for Providence with l 500
tons of coal. He encountered heavy wealth.
er, ard on Monday morning, when off Bar
negat light, the wind blowing northwest
and the course northeast, the schooner ship
ped heavy sea, which swept the man
from the wheel and buried the decks. The
schooner lay to and ice made very fast.
Sail enough could not be got on the vessel
to steady her. The pumps were sounded at
8 a. m. and little water was found. Soon
aferward the cargo shifted and ten minutes
later the decks burst, letting water down on
the coal. The pumps were unable to free
her, and it was evident that the vessel was
sinking. A schooner was sighted three
miles astern, and signals of distress made
and boat cut away, which left the Hart
just as she sunk.
The William T. Hart was built at this
place by Messrs. J. p. Agnew & Co., and
hailed from Somerset, Mass. She has al
ways been engaged in the coal trade, having
made several trips from this port. She was
of 1900 tons burthen, 200 feet 8 inches long,
SO feet beam and 10 feet 3 inches depth of
hold The Hart had four masts. She was
launched in July, 1888, and was the largest
vessel ever built here. and was believed to
have been one of the finest schooners ahoat.
She had steam engine aboard with which
the sails were hosted.
