A sudden blaze of joy seemed to run :|om heart
to heart; the soldier clasped Gen. lllrrison in
his arms, while the children pressed _ his hand
with affection.

The General found the owner of th piece of

Thk Uses of Iron—lron Horsr.sf- In the
course of Mr. Silver’s capital lecture on Ir> n,
at the Franklin Institute, a few evenings since
he designated a few of the various objects to
which iron is applied. He enumerates -team and
sailing ships, canal boats, rail road cars, carriages,
fences, bridges, aqueducts, wale? wheels, pumps,
architectural columns and ornaments, house
fronts, mantels, chimneys, shutters, awning posts,
picture frames, &c. In England, he s dd, large
manufactories are built wholly of iron ; and for
many, it has been partially used in this country.
The buildings of the Philadelphia Gas Compa
ny, are nearly all iron. Also, much of the lute
new Hall of the Academy of Natural Sci
ences. The basement of the house at the N.
W. corner of.Sth and Cherry street, is of iron ;
and any observer, he added, cannot fail to see,
that for freshness and fineness, it eclipses the
marble fronts around. The lower sections
of the pillars of the portico of the Church, in
Tentn and Filbert street, arc hollow cast iron.
The beautiful front of the Miners liank at Potts
ville, the steps, moulding, cornice and statuary,
are of iron. The portable iron boats in winch
merchand'ze is brought from the far-west, are of
iron. An iron steamer is now floatir g in tri
umph, on the Ohio; and the English ship Arch
imedes, is of iron, in the Texan trade. He ex
p essed a belief that before many years, iron hou
ses would be advertised, and delivered |br occu
pancy, at three months notice—and that houses
so formed, to the value of m.llions j f dollars,
would he exported from Pennsylvani to Tex
as.the West Indies and South Anier’n i. S- ■
houses, he added, of assorted pattern;! are ad
vertised at thistime in London, by a ’ornpany
who engaged to put them up for coun ry seals,
and att’ie very lowest rates. The lectur through
out, was replete with facts—some of vcuch, we
shall endeavor to obtain permission to make pub

Thamf.s Tunnel. —At a meeting of he share

been completed to within sixty feel of te Wap

Jf.u d’Esprit —ln a recet.t debate in ;ie House /
of Representatives, Mr. Smith, of Maije, spoke
with much self-complacency of his democracy, and
that of his ancestry and connections, aiA alluded
to the fact of having lost a brother at Lu fly’s iane
daring the last war. %
Mr. Morgan, of New York, one of thefy-oungest
members of the House, at the a most
spirited and eloquent reply, said, that Whenever
our national honor dernar icd a resort la war, he
trusted th t he should be found on the side of the
country, right ur wrong; but ho would assure the
gentleman ironi Maine of one thing, that {he would
never come here to boast of bis ancesliH or con
nections, or make it a matter of pride that he lost
a brother, but saved himself !
A Senator, on hearing tiie reply, gave the fol
lowing Impromptu, which was calculated to the
amusement of ail parlies:
“How s cep the brave” at Lundy’s lane ?
But none who fought with gallant S|oO
Fell half so flit as Smith of Maine.s

The wag of the Baltimore Clipper thinks that
Amos Kendall’s mails should join the temperance

Another Snake Story. — A large horse, of a
bay color, sixteen hands high, has recently been
found in the eye of a snake in Arundel county,
Md. The stirrups of the saddle with which he
was bestrid, obtruded from the corner of tie rep
tile’s optic, and it was thought at the last dates,
that the entire animal would be got out, with time
and patience, without difficulty.— Phil. (Jaz.

For, winding the valley or dim: ing thcfaill,
