The probable erection in this city Of
o foundry and machine-shop--manufac-
turing also farm aud household imrle-
ments-is very good. 1t will be a
joint-stock company. But small

be taken. Alta meeting last night of
the Chamber of Commerce the presi-
dent, W. ii. Ii. Lynn, and Messrs.
Isaac Wiz, NJ. A. Booker, John lesser,
and j. j. Prufer were appointed a COM

The city Hastings Court-Judge
Smith-in how holding the September
term. The case of F. G. Rust, in the
Western Lunstic Asylum as lunatic
from Loudoun county, on habeas COR
pus, was called yesterday and continued.
He contends that he is now sane. He
has been in the Asylum several years.
There are several indictments for felo-
ny. One has been tried and convicted
with six years in the penitentiary.
1t is supposed that from the number
already reported the attendance of pu-
pills at the Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb and the Blind will be larger this
than any previous year.
