THAT ARTISTIC SOUVENIR.

It is difficult to comprehend the enterprise displayed in undertaking to produce such an elaborate work of art as the Souvenir edition of the Pough- keepsie Eagle, and it is still more diff cult to comprehend the vast amount of time and skillful work required in compiling and publishing that interest ing historical edition, which contains two hundred and seven excellent illus trations. With the covers, it consists of forty-eight pages, size 15x22 inches. It recites the history of the Poughkeep- sic bridge, and gives the work of con- struction in detail It publishes sketches of the men connected with that great enterprise. The portion devoted to the City of Poughkeepsie is historical and descriptive with illustrated sketches of its institutions, its industries and trade, and it's leading citizens. The Central New England & Western railroad is fully described with cities and towns on the line, scenery, etc.
 A copy of this Souvenir edition will be mailed, securely wrapped, to any address on receipt of forty cents. We think the publishers, Platt & Platt, made one grand mistake, viz, they limited the edition to twelve thousand copies. That number of copies will quickly be taken by eager purchasers and the edition cannot be duplicated as it was printed from the type, and not electrotyped, therefore no second edition can be published. Send in your orders without delay.

The specia interests of women in the way of education work, household affairs, dress, etc., receive liberal attention every week.
 Interesting letters from regular and occa siOnal correspondents are more fully giver than has heretofore been possible.

CORNWALL.

Anyone who wishes to see what is contained in the "bowels of the earth" should visit the farm of Francois Chag- not, about three miles north of this village. He has been for the past four years searching for iron ore, and for the past year has confined his energies to digging tunnel into the side of the mountain on the east side of the road leading through Cornwall Hollow. The tunnel has now reached depth of $50 feet and is about feet square. At the
 -srance, for 20 feet, he blasted through solid rock, then comes some yellow dirt, kind of clay, after which he came to red dirt resembling ochre or sulphu ret of iron. He has laid track the whole length of his "mine" and is very confident that the ore is not far of.
 "Cop" gobbled the Russian scrap iron peddler and he pleaded guilty to cruelty to his horse and paid his fine and costs and left town with kindly admonition from Cop" to keep away or drive different horse.
