Mr. Blodgett added his notes of the Meteorology of March 
5th, 6th and 7th, during which a cold, dry gale prevailed, to 
which he ascribed the loss of these plants. J ruit trees, 
when their time for flowering arrived, showed an inability 
to blossom for several weeks, as if paralyzed; the dryness 
of the gale of March seemed to have exhausted the sap.

Nore ON A FINE UptHrow FAvuLT AT EMBREEVILLE FURNACE IN 
East TENNESSEE. 
Bx. J.P. 2 GEsiey. 
(Read before the American Philosophical Society, May 3d, 1872. 
In a late visit to the works at Embreeville, on the Nolichuckee River, 
in Washington County, East Tennessee, I made a compass and barometer 
survey of the river valley and Bompas Cove, connecting the Furnace with 
its flux quarry and ore banks, tram road, washing ground, slack-water 
channel, ete., which will be found delineated on the accompanying map, 
drawn.on a scale of 4,000 feet to the inch, with contour lines of 20 feet 
elevation to express the topography.* 
*The accompanying map was hastily sketched for reproduction by Mr, Bien’s photo-litho- 
graphic process. It merely shows the character of the topography of a portion of the property. 
But it is accurate so far as regards the course of the river, the hills which enclose it, the sand- 
rock outcrops, the north end of Bompas Coye, the grade contours of the railway and ravines, 
the elevation of the mines, &c. All the rest, ineluding the heights and contours of the moun- 
tains, must be considered merely approximations to the truth. The contour lines represent 
elevations of 20 feet successively above tide-water, commencing at about 2,000 feet. The sec- 
tion below the map represents the geology along the river, above and below the Furnace, The 
scale was originally 1,000 feet to the inch. It was photographed down to 3,000 to make a plate. 
That plate was lost in the fire which rendered a second edition of this Number of the Proceed- 
ings necessary. An original copy from the first plate was then photographed down to 4,000 feet 
to the inch, to make the present plate.
