[From the Village Record.] BETTY BEOWH'8 GBAVE. Discovery, of Two Hermits In Glasgow Th® Iron Trade of the World. S. Sturmer, Geo. W. brainerd& Co. MANHATTAN Inurance Company The Glatgow Herald contains an extraordinary account of the discovery of two females in a house in South Portland St., where they had remained completely isolated form the world for some years, till at last their minds hare been affected.-— They are two sisters, named Martha and Catherine Stewart, aged respectively 44 and 38 years, and it appears they originally belonged to Newton-on-Ayr. Their brother, Capt. Stewart, after establishing his sisters in the house in South Portland Street, went away on a voyage four or five years ago, and died on the coast of Afrioa. Since that time the two females have shut themselves up in the house, holding no communication with the outer world save by means of an old coalman, who, it is believed, went on their errands. They continued, however, to pay their rent of j£23 per annum up till last May; when, on account of its not being forthcoming, and the house appearing to be deserted, the landlord obtained a warrant to enter the premises. When the officers attempted to enter the premises, they were assured by a strange voice that that was the house of God, that the seal of the Apostle Peter was on the lock, and that if they dared to come in they would be sent to tho flames of hell forever. They charged the officers with being gent by the Free Church Presbytery. After gome parleying the females promised to oall and pay the rent. As this was never done, on the representations of the neighbors, the case was given in to the police. Accordingly a party under the ctfarge of Superintendent M'Call, went to the bouse at once. On forcing their way into the house, they found some of the rooms filled with excellent furniture, but everything covered with dust, which had evidently not been disturbed for years.— One room bad been cleared out and used as a dunghill. There had evidently been no fire lighted for a considerable time, and there was no appearance of food. One room was locked, and on trying to open it, the officers were greeted with, shrill ories about the house of God and the Apostle Peter, and the Free Church. When the • door had been forced two haggard, emaciated creatures clothed in old merino wrappers, and with neither shoes nor stockings on, were discovered. Their hinds and faces had not been washed for years, and their hair hung matted over their shoulders. They were at first wild, but became calm on Dr. Liddgll threatening to pour water on them. They fancied the officers were spirits from the other world. In all their words and gestures it was observed that the younger of the two took the lead, and that the other repeated With parrot-like imitation whatever her sister said or did. The younger woman, indeed, seemed to have established a sort of ascendancy over the' elder, and when the latter attempted to put her oar in, as if in ier own footing, her sister would turn sharply about and tell her to hold her tongue, as she had lost her mind—a rebuke which seemed always to be taken with meek acquiescence. After they had been for some time in the dining-room, one of them fixed her eyes on Mr. Superintendent M'Call, and after looking earnestly at him, shouted out, "Newton of Ayr, Newton of Ayr) you are Mr. M'Call's brother of Newton of Ayrj" and went .on to ask tho worthy Saperintendent of Police if he had been long dead. Mr. M'Call tried to reassure her, and asked her to feel his hands and so ascertain that we was alive. She refused, however, to touoh him or any one else in the room; and when any one went near her, she cried to them to stand back, as they were all spirits. With reference to the poor woman's recognition of Mr. M'Call, that gentleman states that he at one time knew the family, but that she could not have seen him for the last seventeeen years. The window of the room in which they were found had been darkened by three black shawls boing nailei over it, one above the other. The floor was covered in most parts, to the thickness of about a foot, with ashes and rubbish.— In the fire-plaoe was a great heap of ashes, with a small fire smouldering on the top— the fire standing out from the chimney altogether, and sending its smoke up along the wall of the room, whioh was thickly coated with soot. The only furniture in the room consisted of a low bedstead covered with some filthy bedding, a chest of drawfts, a stool, and a broken chair. On a plate was a piece of soap, with a few crusts of bread, which only a person in a state of starvation oould have oaten. The wretched condition of the poor creatures could not have arisen from poverty, as there was discovered on the person of one of them £A in bank notes, together with a oheque on the Bank of Scotland for £286. The women, by warrant of the Sheriff, have been removed to Qartnavel Asylum Nothing, says the London Mining Jour* ual, has so much contributed to th» oomfort and civilisation of the human race as the development of the various industries and extended enterprise* whioh owe their existence to an abundant supply of ina. Perhaps the moat striking development of material progress during the last thirtr-. five years ra the introduction of the raft-, way system. During that period then have been oonstrueted 113,000 miles of railway in the world; and this appears to us as the mere prelude to the extension of this enterprise on a scale so vast as soareely any living man oan conceive. There has been expended on these 118,000 miles of railway already constructed upwards of 40,000,000 tuns of iron. FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, NEW YORK, ASSETTS, 754,0i2.43. —Ot— BY JAMBS ». IVIKHAIT.

The immensely in* creased demand for ships and steamers built ot iron will also of itself form s large drain upon our prodnotion of this mineral. There are now about 850,000 tuns er iron in warehouse-keepers' stores in Soot« land, whioh is the only reliable reserve for a trade embracing 4,000,000 tuns per annum. The shipments of pig iron frost Scotland this year have been 401,600 taps, showing an increase of 26,649 tqns over the corresponding period of last year; and the foundries and malleable iron-works in this district have been so actively employ* ed as to give rise to a consumption of about 12,000 tuns weekly. It is rather a striking occurrence thst recently upwards of thirty-five furnaees have been put out of blast in Staffordshire, although the price of pig-iron has ruled in that distriot from 70s. to 75s. per tan.—« Nineteen years ago the prioe "of Sooth pig iron attained 120s. per tun, and for nuuiy months afterward it was maintained st above 100s. per tun. In 1854 the highest price was 92. 6d., and tha average prioe for that year was 80s. per tun. It may be noted as a singular feature is connection with the iron trade, that tha highest range of prices for iron eeems to be coincident with high rates of money.

Accordingly several rats were oaught and served up. " Well, how did they go T" asked the captain.

He then left him alone with a young menkey, with some of the matter on the table, and beside it a lancet, guarded, that it might not cut too deep, by a projecting piece of steel.

McClellan to the Presidency. This veteran now takes ground against the nominee of the Chioago Convention, for reason of MoCHelltn's personal Sinfitness and his utter perfidy in accepting a nomination at the hands of men who ignore the justioe of the straggle to crash treason, and treat the valor of oar brave defenders as a mere exhibition of the brate foroe of rathless invaders.

[From the Village Record.] BETTY BEOWH'8 GBAVE. Discovery, of Two Hermits In Glasgow Th® Iron Trade of the World. S. Sturmer, Geo. W. brainerd& Co. MANHATTAN Inurance Company The Glatgow Herald contains an extraordinary account of the discovery of two females in a house in South Portland St., where they had remained completely isolated form the world for some years, till at last their minds hare been affected.-— They are two sisters, named Martha and Catherine Stewart, aged respectively 44 and 38 years, and it appears they originally belonged to Newton-on-Ayr. Their brother, Capt. Stewart, after establishing his sisters in the house in South Portland Street, went away on a voyage four or five years ago, and died on the coast of Afrioa. Since that time the two females have shut themselves up in the house, holding no communication with the outer world save by means of an old coalman, who, it is believed, went on their errands. They continued, however, to pay their rent of j£23 per annum up till last May; when, on account of its not being forthcoming, and the house appearing to be deserted, the landlord obtained a warrant to enter the premises. When the officers attempted to enter the premises, they were assured by a strange voice that that was the house of God, that the seal of the Apostle Peter was on the lock, and that if they dared to come in they would be sent to tho flames of hell forever. They charged the officers with being gent by the Free Church Presbytery. After gome parleying the females promised to oall and pay the rent. As this was never done, on the representations of the neighbors, the case was given in to the police. Accordingly a party under the ctfarge of Superintendent M'Call, went to the bouse at once. On forcing their way into the house, they found some of the rooms filled with excellent furniture, but everything covered with dust, which had evidently not been disturbed for years.— One room bad been cleared out and used as a dunghill. There had evidently been no fire lighted for a considerable time, and there was no appearance of food. One room was locked, and on trying to open it, the officers were greeted with, shrill ories about the house of God and the Apostle Peter, and the Free Church. When the • door had been forced two haggard, emaciated creatures clothed in old merino wrappers, and with neither shoes nor stockings on, were discovered. Their hinds and faces had not been washed for years, and their hair hung matted over their shoulders. They were at first wild, but became calm on Dr. Liddgll threatening to pour water on them. They fancied the officers were spirits from the other world. In all their words and gestures it was observed that the younger of the two took the lead, and that the other repeated With parrot-like imitation whatever her sister said or did. The younger woman, indeed, seemed to have established a sort of ascendancy over the' elder, and when the latter attempted to put her oar in, as if in ier own footing, her sister would turn sharply about and tell her to hold her tongue, as she had lost her mind—a rebuke which seemed always to be taken with meek acquiescence. After they had been for some time in the dining-room, one of them fixed her eyes on Mr. Superintendent M'Call, and after looking earnestly at him, shouted out, "Newton of Ayr, Newton of Ayr) you are Mr. M'Call's brother of Newton of Ayrj" and went .on to ask tho worthy Saperintendent of Police if he had been long dead. Mr. M'Call tried to reassure her, and asked her to feel his hands and so ascertain that we was alive. She refused, however, to touoh him or any one else in the room; and when any one went near her, she cried to them to stand back, as they were all spirits. With reference to the poor woman's recognition of Mr. M'Call, that gentleman states that he at one time knew the family, but that she could not have seen him for the last seventeeen years. The window of the room in which they were found had been darkened by three black shawls boing nailei over it, one above the other. The floor was covered in most parts, to the thickness of about a foot, with ashes and rubbish.— In the fire-plaoe was a great heap of ashes, with a small fire smouldering on the top— the fire standing out from the chimney altogether, and sending its smoke up along the wall of the room, whioh was thickly coated with soot. The only furniture in the room consisted of a low bedstead covered with some filthy bedding, a chest of drawfts, a stool, and a broken chair. On a plate was a piece of soap, with a few crusts of bread, which only a person in a state of starvation oould have oaten. The wretched condition of the poor creatures could not have arisen from poverty, as there was discovered on the person of one of them £A in bank notes, together with a oheque on the Bank of Scotland for £286. The women, by warrant of the Sheriff, have been removed to Qartnavel Asylum Nothing, says the London Mining Jour* ual, has so much contributed to th» oomfort and civilisation of the human race as the development of the various industries and extended enterprise* whioh owe their existence to an abundant supply of ina. Perhaps the moat striking development of material progress during the last thirtr-. five years ra the introduction of the raft-, way system. During that period then have been oonstrueted 113,000 miles of railway in the world; and this appears to us as the mere prelude to the extension of this enterprise on a scale so vast as soareely any living man oan conceive. There has been expended on these 118,000 miles of railway already constructed upwards of 40,000,000 tuns of iron. FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, NEW YORK, ASSETTS, 754,0i2.43. —Ot— BY JAMBS ». IVIKHAIT.

The immensely in* creased demand for ships and steamers built ot iron will also of itself form s large drain upon our prodnotion of this mineral. There are now about 850,000 tuns er iron in warehouse-keepers' stores in Soot« land, whioh is the only reliable reserve for a trade embracing 4,000,000 tuns per annum. The shipments of pig iron frost Scotland this year have been 401,600 taps, showing an increase of 26,649 tqns over the corresponding period of last year; and the foundries and malleable iron-works in this district have been so actively employ* ed as to give rise to a consumption of about 12,000 tuns weekly. It is rather a striking occurrence thst recently upwards of thirty-five furnaees have been put out of blast in Staffordshire, although the price of pig-iron has ruled in that distriot from 70s. to 75s. per tan.—« Nineteen years ago the prioe "of Sooth pig iron attained 120s. per tun, and for nuuiy months afterward it was maintained st above 100s. per tun. In 1854 the highest price was 92. 6d., and tha average prioe for that year was 80s. per tun. It may be noted as a singular feature is connection with the iron trade, that tha highest range of prices for iron eeems to be coincident with high rates of money.

The report coming to the ears of Csptain Over be went to the priaon to institute an investigation. He soon learned that the boys really caught, killed and cooked some rats.

Vaccination was, ofcourse, to be the means of staying the plague, and his scheme for its introduction was entirely ingenious. He bound two or three boys hand and foot and then vaccinated them in the presence of an old monkey, who was observed to be olosely attentive to the proceedings. He then left him alone with a young menkey, with some of the matter on the table, and beside it a lancet, guarded, that it might not cut too deep, by a projecting piece of steel. The doctor witnessed the result from a neighboring room; the monkey threw the young one down, bound him without delay, and vaccinated him with all tho skill of a professor" ,.New Brick.

McClellan to the Presidency. This veteran now takes ground against the nominee of the Chioago Convention, for reason of MoCHelltn's personal Sinfitness and his utter perfidy in accepting a nomination at the hands of men who ignore the justioe of the straggle to crash treason, and treat the valor of oar brave defenders as a mere exhibition of the brate foroe of rathless invaders.
