Mammoth white Ash Coal Vein.

Many of our readers are aware that the
Delaware Coal Company, at their Mines just
north of this borough, have been engaged for
months past in sinking Shaft with the view
of reaching the Mammoth White Ash Coal
Vein, which according to the theory of Mr..
E. w. McGinnes, underlays the Red Ash
throughout this entire basin. Mr. McGinnes,
who has charge of the work, sunk Shaft a
bout IS feet, and then bored some 435 feet,
when on Thursday last, at a perpendicular
depth of 500 feet, as he informed us, they
struck the White Ash Vein and brought up
Coal, specimens of which he showed u.s.
The value of this discovery, not only to the
Company but to the contry at large, cannot
be estimated.-POHSpiIle Emporium.

Mrs. SwissEaeIns Om Slave Catch
ing.

Mrs Swissheim is severe on the slave
catchers-of which creatures they have had
samples in Pittsburg-for she regards them
with true womanly scorn. Hear herr
"We do not say one-half that we feel we
should say if we were man. If we were,
and any fellow who has acted hound and aid
ed in capturing fugitive, should offer us
any of the courtesies of life, proper between
man and man, we would spit upon him. AS
it is, if one such should enter the room We
were in, it would require strong muse ular
effort on our part to prevent C Get out dog! :"
SECT OUT" from escaping from our lips
To US they appear like dogs, and nothing else.
Their faces and forms assume the outline and
expression of a dog. Their whiskers look
like ssmellers' or 'feelers'"
We would not rank amongst our list of
friends the man who needlessly sets his foot
upon worm! and one who, for ten or twenty
dollar fee, would aid to tear man from the
bosom of his family, and consign him to the
condition of a brute, ought to be held with
out the range of all human sympathy. We
would not let any such biped sleep within
our barn, or take drink at our pump. We
would not take his name as subscriber, and
could not write ediatorials for slave catcher
to read, and if there were hundred people of
our mind in Pittsburg, it would be hard for a
Commissioner to live in it. We would hire
little boys to halloo at him on the streets,
and chambermaids to throw dirty water on
him out of the upstairs windows-and like
the Yankee boys companions, we would keep
pinchin' and poundin' him all the WHILE
until he would be obliged to leave or repent.
"Get out dog Get out should meet him
him at every door which shelters family ties.
Every husband and every father who values
his right to live with his wife and children,
should spit upon or thrust such an animal
from his path-every wife and mother who
feels the value Of husbands love, should
spurn him from her door, every child who
love its father, should taunt and mock him
when he shows his face.-Saturday FiSiter

Immense Receints.

The New York Mirror says that the receipts
on the Erie Railroad OH Friday, the 25th ult.,
are believed to be the largest ever before re-
ceived on any railroad in the world-they are
said to have exceeded three millions of dol
lars This fact unexplained, will appear
extraordinary, but it is easily accounted for.
When the road was commenced, the State loan
ed its bonds to the amount of three millions.
An Act of the Legislature passed subsequent
ly, provided that if the Company laid sim
gle track from the Hudson river to Lake E.
rie, and ran its engines over it before the
middle of May, the road will be released from
the lien held upon it for the amount advanced.
On the 25th ult., the necessary affidavit was
filed with the Comptroller, that the condition
had been fulfilled, and consequently the re-
lease was granted; hence the receipts on that
day were equal to three millions of dollars.

Horse Stealing and killing.

An article in the New York Courior and
Enquirer makes the following statements:
There still exist and thrive in this city
the remnant of body of men who figured
largely, till within some few months since, as
horse stealers and killers, and who-nothing
having lately been heard of them-are COM
monty supposed to be extinct. Their busi-
ness is to drive stray or unmatched cattle to
vacant lots of ground in the Northern and
Eastern parts of the city, and there watch
an opportunity, when the policemen on duty
is out of sight and hearing, to fell the animals
dead, strip off their hides-and which are
disposed of by contract to some tanner-and
cart off the flesh to the vicinity of some butch
er's shamble.
Six months ago, the depredations of these
men had extended so far that it was calcula-
ted that no less than five hundred horses were
clandestinely disposed of each month. The
energetic measures then taken caused num-
ber Of these snatchers to be beaten back to
New Jersey, and good portion of the re-
malnder to pursue some more honest and less
vile occupation. But it would seem that
those now in the traffic are "masters of the
trade" and more desperate and high-handed
in their measures than in its palmiest days
and have so organized themselves, and can SO
concert their schemes, as to make prelimina-
ry measures for their conviction futile, and the
taking them in the act next to impossible.
Rapidity of operation in this business is
the first condition of success. In dangerous
localities, children are found to be of service.
and troops of these are brought up to skin and
to lie. If found near carcass, they are sell
dom suspected; and they are adopts in eva
sive answers. They are usually dressed in
squalid clothes, and keep on their countenance
studied absence of all marks of intelligence.
One lawless operator lately offered to bet
with one of our civic functionaries that lad
he had with him, mere child, would skin
horse in fifteen minutes. The dead carcass
was then before them, and though the bet
was not accepted, the thing was done! The
history of some of these children would read
like romance. We need not remind our readers
that a city ordinance is in existence which
makes it penal to retain dead animals within
the city limits; and that proper means-a are
provided for their removal.

Elephants, Snakes, &c.

The Tribune, of Monday, announces the
arrival at New York on the previous day, of
the bark Regetta, from India, freighted with
nine living elephants a zebue, or Burmese
bull, sixteen enormous serpents, including a
brace of boa-constrictors of "a and 16 feet In
length, besides wilderness Of monkeys, the
fretted porcupine, and other live uarmants,
all consigned to Messrs p Il. Barnum and
Seth B. Howes, intended for the great Muse
um Caravan, now on exhibition in New-Jer-
sey. One of the most curious features OF
this Noah's Ark collection is calf elephant,
about nine months old, and weaned from its
dam on the passage from Ceylon, being but
three feet high, and as docile and playful as
kitten. Another is one of the native chiefs
of Ceylon, who accompanies the show IN
charge of the elephants This enterprise, the
greatest probably, since the day of the Flood,
has been conducted and brought to success
ful issue by Messrs. Stebbins, June and Geo.
Nutter. The elephants were hunted and
caught in their native jungles by Messrs.
June and Nutter, accompanied by 160 of the
natives. Their capture was effected by driv-
ing $50 of them into krGuL, or rude pen,
constructed in the Jungle, out of which they
succeeded in securing thrteen-two having
died on the passage and another being stolen
from the drove. The Regetta has made her
passage home $4,000 miles) stopping at the
Cape of Good Hope and the Island of St He
lena, in ll2 days. The elephant hunters
were three months and four days IN the jun
giles before they effected their object.

A Fast Funeral.

Race to the Graue-On Saturday last
two Funeral professions, of unusual length,
on their way to the Catholic Cemetry in Cam
bridge, neared each other above Porter's Ho-
tel. A rivalry Immediately set up between
the drivers of the hearses, to see which should
reach the gate Of the Cemetry first! BY a
great application of the whip sample of fast
driving developed itself-but the race was
of short duration. The coffin in one of the
hearses was thrown out on the ground, and
before the cortege following could draw up,
it was run over by three or four hacks, and
seriously mutilated. This accident suddenly
put an end to the mad career of the Jehus.
The body was restored to its proper place,
and the two funerals proceeded in order
Fast driving to the grave often occurs in
Cambridge. Boston Mail.

New Project.

We understand that there is quite a
spirit of rejoicing among the people along
the Delaware, at the prospect of having
a steamboat to ply regularly between
Easton and Lambertville. 1t is said that
several Philadelphians have undertaken
the project, and are about to build boat
to carry three hundred passengers, and
draw only eleven inches of water; and
that upon investigation, they are satisfied
of the feasibility of the scheme 1t is
designed to connect line with the rail
road from Lambertville to Trenton. Go
ahead This is the age of progress.

ORNITHoLoGICAL CURIosITY.-The Cincm-
natti Enquirer describes a mammoth bird,
closely resembling the famous stork, which
was captured on the plantation of Mr.. Grif-
fifth near Vernon, Qa.) The night was unu-
sually stormy, when, this feathered stranger
came lowering about the trees, and finally
lighted on branch near the ground, when it
was attacked, and engaged in very singu-
lar fight with couple of watch-dogs. Their
loud and repeated barking aroused MIR. g.,
who managed with difficulty, to run the bird
into a smoke house, when it was secured, -
1t measured five feet when standing erect,
and eight feet six inches from the tip of one
wing to the other, when spread.

TwESTy-FoUR CfTIEs,---The New Orleans
papers are hardly satisfied with the census of
that city. The Bulletin says that in 1910
the population of New Orleans and Baltimore
was within fraction of being alike, New
Orleans then numbered 100000 souls, and
Baltimore 102,3l3. Boston then had pop
ulation of 93, 1872, and Cincinnati 46662.-
Now the relative position is as follows: Bal
fimore l69,025, Boston l3S, ,76S, New Or
leans II6, ,407, and Cincinnati ll6, 6,l6S. Of
tgenty-four cities, each with population of
over 10000, we find that the rate of increase
has been less in N. o. than in any one of the
remaining twenty-thrce.

By the arrival of the Europa at Naw
York, on Thursday morning of last week
we have Liverpool dates to the 26th ult
The news from Europe is not of much
Importance. Cotton had declined fullv
three-eighths of penny per pound and
bread stuffs were also lower-the supply
greatly exceeding the demand. Flour
was worth about 20 shillings per barrel
and grain in proportion. The Exhibition
or Worlds Fair appears to absorb public
attention almost entirely.
LATER.-The Arctic arrived at New
York on Sunday morning last, with Liy-
erpool dates to the 30th. Cotton had still
further declined. There is no news of

Manufacture of Jewelry In New
.EerS1y.

Few persons, says the NeWark Advertiser,
have an adequate idea of the extent and val
ne of this branch Of manufacture in New
Jersey =
"A recent estimate puts the number of
manufactures at Is, employing 5000 hands,
whose average wages, including boys, amounts
TO $12 week. The weekly product of man.
ufactured articles is about 5000, or ST.
$4,000 year. In the manufacture ofwatch
cases alone, about 50 hands are employed
Ia some manufactures chains are made, in
others, principally rings, while in others, al
most every article yet invented for the adorn-
ment of persons of both seAes, are manufac-
tured. The gold used for year past, has
mostly the product of California, brought here
assayed. and in bars the precious stones for
ming part of the ornaments are imported
from Europe ready cut for use. An errone-
Gus idea, we understand, is prevalent in re-
lation to the increase of value of all the gold
manufactured into jewelry. A large number
of articles prove to be unsaleable and out Of
fashion, and when that occurs, they are re-
melted and sent to the mint for coinage"

Connecticut.

1t appears from the Message of Gov.
Seymour to the Legislature, that the 6nan-
ces of that State are in excellent condi-
ton. The balance in the Treasury on
the 31st of March, 1916, was S2I 1924 Sc.
The receipts for the year were Sl4S,259
8S, making total sum of s169, ,584 81.
The expenditures for the year were Sl1O,-
pa At, which is over eleven thousand
dollars less than the previous year. In
addition to the ordinary expenses, s25,-
600 have been paid on the debt to the
school fund, which reduces it about one
half. The balance remaining in the trea-
sury on the 3lst March, 1851, was $780,
266 %. The receipts of the school fund
for the last fiscal year have been S13S,-
06O 63; during that time there has been
paid to 90 ,220 scholars, the sum of $780,
l08, which is at the rate of one dollar
and forty cents each; this leaves surplus
on the 31st March last of S5,676 15.
The Governor, among other things, re-
commends the abolition of the death pen
atty Also to limit the hours of labor,
and in cases of children under IA years
working in factories, to reduce them to
eight hours per day. To exempt the
homestead from sale on execution. Al
so, to arrange general banking system
on the plan adopted in New York. He
is also in favor of carrying out the Com
promise measures of the last session of

The New Mexican Indian Com
mission.

Ii is some time since we and our readers
have had any information of the whereabouts
of the Commission appointed by this Govern
ment under the act of Congress of 2Sth Sep
tember last, for investigating and reporting to

tained regarding the Indian tribes in New
Mexico, the practcability and expediency Of
negotiating with them, &c.
We were agreeably surprised yesterday by

three Members of that Commission, who has
just arrived in this city on business connected
with its objects. Helef the two other Members
of the Commission, Gen. R. B. CAMPBELL and

Great Fire at montrose.

Dearoyed-LosS from SAC, 900 to $50.
600.
Tuesday morning 18th inst few min
utes before one o'clock, fire was discov-
cred in the out-buildings attached to L.
Searles' Hotel. When first discovered it
had just broken through the roof The
wind was blowing steady breeze from
the West, and in few minutes it COM
mum ated to the rear of the large store
houses fronting on Public Avenue, which
were soon enveloped in sea of flame
Our citizens were on the spot en- mass,
and put forth every exertion to stay the
progress of the destroying element. The
fire swept on towards the Court House,
and in two hours the whole West side of
Public Avenue, from Searle's Hotel to
the dwelling house of III. j. Webb, on the
corner fronting Hatche's hotel, was mass
of ruins. The following are the names
of the suffers: L. Searle, all the out
houses attached to his Hotel, with large
quantities of hay, and several thousand
bushels of oats, together with several
coaches and other carriages, harnesses, &c.
and eight horses, five of which, however,
belonged to travellers and others who
were stopping with him. A Mr.. Grego-
ry, of Auburn township, lost one span of
horses and load of wheat. The large
store building of Mr.. Searle, occupied by
r. Searle, Dry Goods merchant; George
Fuller, Book and Clothing dealer; VIM.
W. True, Jeweler; j. Warner, Grocer;
Dr. f. Parks office; J. Groves, Tailor;
and l.. B. Kinds, Boot and Shoemaker,
was wholly consumed. The losses of these
different individuals we have not yet as
certained, though but little comparative
ly, was saved. NJ Searle's whole loss
will reach nearly SIC, 900, of which about
81, 500, we believe, is insured. Next, the
store of J. Etheridge, with nearly all Its
contents, was consumed. 1t is thought
that Mr. Etheridge's insurance will near
ly cover his loss. The shop occupied by
Mr.. r. Jameson, Tailor, was burned
His loss we have not ascertained. The
large store, sheds, stove and tin shops Of
S. H. Sayre & Co., with nearly all their
contents, together with the dwelling house
of B. Sayre, the law Office of F. B, Stree
ter, Esq. and carriage house of B. S. Bent
ley, Esq. were consumed. Mr.. Sayre's
loss is estimated at about SIS, 900, on
which was an insurance of 81 800. Mr..
Streeter's loss is about S40O, no insur-
ance. Mr.. Bentley's from two to three
hundred.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary. A dark lantern was found
near where the fire was first discovered.
Mr.. Sayre is the greatest sufferer of all.
The whole loss of our citizens is various
ly estimated, from $40, 900 to O,OOO.
The insurance on this sum is small Our

Terrible Storm.

A storm of most extraordinary and alarm
ing violence passed over portion of Raleigh
(N. c. on Sunday evening last. spreading
ruin and devastation before it. We have no
knowledge ofany suchremarkable occurrence
in this latitude before In the irresistible fi1-
ry with which it bore down every thing, even
to the " "proudest monarch of the Forest" be-
fore it, it was like those tornadoes of the trop-
les of whose desolating ravages we read 1t
seems to have been confined within belt OF
a hundred yards, or perhaps more, in width,
and, passing through the city from southwest
to northeast, trampled every obstacle to It's
progress within that compass under foot, with
the velocity of lightning and the power of an
army of giants, uprooting the largest trees,
overthrowing chimneys and fences, unroofing
houses, and in three instances actually lifting
the houses themselves from their foundations
and shivering them to the earth, besides doing,
in other ways, very considerable damage to
property. Fortunately-mostm miraculously
and providentially, We should say-there was
not so far as we have yet learnt, single in
stance Of serious personal injury. We have
heard of several remarkable escapes, and one
or two bruised limbs, but how there should
have been no one killed is almost unaccount-
able. We can only ascribe it, with thank
fulness, to that Omnipotence which rides up
on the whirlwind and directs the Storm =
The track of the hurricane, after the storm
had spent its rage, presented a scene that
