the hottest fire is said not to penetrate

likely to welcome asbestos cloth for

MINERAL LAND.

Icy of Virginia, eleven miles from Roam

ore is vein Of soft brown hemat,te al

hne-two shafts having been sunk, one
20 and the other 25 feet, through solid
coal slate. The property also contains
mineral spring, which the analysis of
Lehman e Mayer proved to possess re-
markable curative powers for all kidney
troubles, especially for diabstes. The
enormous quantity OF coal and ore that
will be required fol the large number Of
furnaces and other industrial plants In
course of construction in Southwest Viz

large demand for these minerals, and
consequently enhance the value OF such
property. Two railroads have been sur

other, the Virginia Western railroad,
will afford valuable connections. Fuller

A Dogs Memory.

Tho following remarkable feat of
memory was performed by an Irish wa
ter spaniel: His master was out walk
ing with him at the beginning of tho
long frost in the year 1855, which set in
about the middle of January. He went
on frozen mill dam, where the water
was OF course very deep, and accident
ally dropped his snuff box through a
little round hole in the ice. The dog
was dreadfully distressed at not being
able to get it, but was obliged to go
homo with its owner, who thought 10
more about the matter Two months
afterward, when the frost had gone, he
and tho dog passed by the same place
The dog paused opposite the spot where
the box had disappeared, seemed to
think intontly for rlinute, then plung-
ed in, Owed to the bottom, and returned
with the snuff box in his mouth. Quar-
