| AS has already been stated, few DAYS ago,
the Vulcan Iron and Steel-works have been
shut down for the holidays, but Will again re-
sumo operations on Monday, January 4, when
| another blast furnace will be lighted up. This
| will give employment to fully 100 more men.
At the time that negotiations were going on
| between the lessees of the present Vulcan
| works and the Steel Rail Manufacturers As
ISOLATION there was a drawback, or hitch, as
1t has been learned, which delayed the man.
agement in starting up until later than was
expected. This hitch was due to a number OF
the members of the association refusing to
give their consent to the lessees of the Vulcan
to manufacture steel rails. This opposition
was finally overcome, after considerable
wrangling, and the works were Immediately
started up, though rails were not manufact-
ured at once. This, many could not under
stand, as the Vulcan has such fine facilities
for that kind of work, but the reason why
steel rails were not put on the market as
soon as the company got permission to do so
can now plainly be seen. For the past two
months there has been an advance in steel
rails at Pittsburg, the center market point
for this kind of work in the country, from $40
to $50 a ton, and it has been further learned
that the manufacturers are refusing orders
even at the latter figures. With steel rails
on the market at $50 u ton the business be-
comes profitable to the manufacturer. About
February l, 1t was learned yesterday on the
best authority, the Vulcan will start up in
full blast manufacturing steel rails. The |
number of men that will lie required for the |
new start will be over 500, and the works |
will be in full operation both day and night. |

THE GIFT OF FRANCE.

M. Bartholdi has been very busy
since his arrival in this country, with
responding to social attentions and af
fairs pertaining to the erection of the
"Statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World" on Liberty Island, New York
Harbor. He has had frequent confer.
ences with Gen. Stone, Engineer-in.
Chief of the Pedestal of the Statue of
Liberty. and has made his final sug-
gestions as to the erection of the statue.
1t is not probable that the pedestal will
be completed for two months yet, and
will not be ready to receive the statue
till late this winter. He says the en-
tire work cannot be completed before
the close of next summer; that the
statue is of such great size that it must
be put up slowly and with the greatest
care. He thinks it will take five
months to get it securely placed on the
pedestal. His plan is to have the ded-
idation on the Sd of next September,
the anniversary of the signing of the
treaty of Versailles, which secured
peace after the Revolutionary war and
guaranteed the recognition of the
American Republic.
The NeaO York World popular sub
scription from the people completes the
pedestal. A large amount of money Is
still required tor the erection or put
ting together of the great statue, which
when completed, will be thirty-five
feet higher than the towers of the
great Brooklyn Bridge.
The committee by the sale of the
miniature statuettes, expect to raise
the balance of money required for
statue purposes, and on receipt of One
Dollar Will deliver at any place in the
United States, a handsome souvenir of
Bartholdi's great work, or a larger rep
rese ntation twelve inches nigh, very
finished, at Five Dollars.
For Ten Dollars. the committee will
deliver IL magnificent work of art, same
height as the five-doiaF size statue,
finely chased, pedestal heavily silver
ed, with plush stand.
These souvenirs will make a very
desirable holiday gift, and the giver
will surely be remembered. as his gift
will have a prominent place in the
home, and will also be doing patriot
ic act by aiding the committee to COM
plete this great work of art.

EDITOR observation-disclosures an
nounce that the next regular meeting
of the Henry county Pomona Grange
will be held at the Harrison Grange
Hall, the third Friday in April; all
members of the order that can, are re-
quested to be present. After the regu-
lar business of the order the following
programme will be taken up:
Music by the Harrison Grange choir.
Profits of cattle raising by J. Garster.
Recitation by Lizzie Snyder. Root
cnlture by Eli Culbertson. Recitation
by Geordie Hollopeter. Select reading
by Mrs. T. 5. Lingel. Wheat raising
by Geo. Rhinebolt. Recitation by G.
f. Weaks. Five minute talks for the
good of the order by the Grange.
The patrons annual fair will here
after be known as the Henry county
Farmers Association, and the following
persons will constitute the board of
directors:
+. M. Hollopeter, J. Garster, r.
;~pangler, Il. w. Blue, P. z. Blue, P.
Ritter, j. Erven, E. r. Wolf, J. Shelf,
E. Culbertson. They will use their best
endeavors to excel by far their past
fairs, and ask that the citizens of the
county give them what assistance they
can, hoping that at the close of the next
fair they will be able to adjust all in
cumbrances and be able to pay a liberal
premium. Some of the farmers of the
county are taking into consideration
the propriety of building a cooperative
Touring mill and are corresponding
with competent millwrights and manu-.
facturers as to the probable cost of a
fifty or seventy-five barrel mill, also
taking into consideration the locality.
Napoleon rather having the preference
on account Of the waiter facilities and
the splendid wheat country surrounding
it; this is matter which the farmers OF
this county should not neglect.

The law Of Renl Estate.

The absolute title ofall lands, streams
and lakes rests in thesGovernment 1t
never wholly releases its claims. The
law of eminent domain gives the sover-
eign power the right at any time, when
necessary, to take back to itself any
property before patented. Subject to
that right. however, the person who re-
ceives a certain quantity of land has
the absolute title against the whcle
world.
He may lose it:
1st. BY being convicted of treason.
I'd. BY non-payment of taxes.
3D.. BY sale on execution.
4th. BY allowing another person TO
remain in undisputed possession, claim
ing to own it twenty years.
He may pass it to another:
1st BY sale and deed.
I'd. BY gift and deed.
Sd. BY will.
A will can pass no title until after
the testator's death.
If the owner of land dies leaving no
will, the statute distributes his estate
among his nearest relatives and next Of
kin. If the person has no relation or
kin, his property, real and personal goes
to the State.
No contract or agreement for the sale
of lands, or any interest whatever i'm
real estate, is binding unless in writing,
signed by the person to be bound; ex-
cepting lease, not to exceed one year,
may be verbal contract and win be
binding.
When an agreement between tive
persons is reduced to writinga and signed
by the parties, they will be bound by
the terms of the writing unless the other
party can show fraud or mistake in the
transaction. A party will be held of his
agreement unless he can show beyond
q doubt that there was y mistake in
drawing up the writing or the other
party was guilty of fraud. For thisrea-
son parties should use extra care to have
their whole and entire agreement re-
duced to writing, if any part is writ
ten.
