New HAVEN, Feb, "a sad affair occur
red here at 'half.past six o'clock this evening.
William Miles, foreman of Hose Company No.
2, whose engine house is in the rear Of the
colleges, was shot by a student whose name
is not yet publicly known. The student, in
a, moment after, was badly hurt by a fireman.
Two or three students and as many firemen
then engaged in the fight, and the clothes of
one OF the latter was badly cut by a knife but
no wounds were given. Three shots were
hred' two OF which are supposed to have
lodged in the left side of Miles, and his re.
covery is very doubtful. He is only about
twenty years old. There had been a disturb
ance between the parties for some days, such
as shooting by the students, and throwing
water by the fremen. There is much excite.
ment, and row is threatened.

A VOICE FROM THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY.
The Southern Democrats cannot be unanimously
resolved to fasten the Lecompton constitution
upon Kanzas when one Of their organs, the Lou
isville Democrat, uses uses such noble language
as this;
"We cannot but regard the proposition to force
Kanzas into the Union with the Lecomp ton
constitution as the most extraordinary ever made
since the formation Of the federal constitution.
Events as they transpire expose its monstrosity
more and more. Is it not plain to every one that
the constitution is distasteul to the vast majority
Of the people Of Kanzas 7 Can any one now pre-

The IRON ORES OF WISCONSIN, AND THE
Coal FIELDS OF ILLINoIs.-A recent report
of Prof. Daniels, State Geologist of Wiscon-
sin, gives some interesting facts relative TO
the iron deposits of that State These depos-
its are found, first, in beds or veina in the
rocks where they were originally formed or
introduced second deposited from aqueous
solutions in low ground as bog ore are very
numerous in the swamps and marshes of the
State, but none have been discovered of suffi-
cient value to be probably worked. Of The
rock deposits, the most important is that at
Black river falls, in Jackson county. About
two miles above the village the bed is eigh.
teen feet thick.
The ore lies in bands of massive hematite
from six to forty feet in width. Near this is
also heavy deposit of black oxide, highly
magnetic. Small veins Of specular iron ore
are also seen. 1t is estimated that on one
side Of the river, there are 10, 900 900 tons of
available iron, and on the other % 900 900
tons. at Iron Ridge in Dodge county, is
another extensive deposit. The company
working it are estimated to have 1852 500
tons Of available iron at their commando
Another large bed of ore is located in the
towns of Hartford and Depere, in Washing.
ton county. In the town of Marston, Sank
county, is bed OF brown hematite, from ten
to twenty feet in thickness.
Prot Daniels aslo gives the result of an exam
ination of the coal fields of Northern Illinois.
made for the object of ascertaining their avail.
ability in working the iron mines of Wiscon-
sin. he says that the coal district at La Sale.
on the Illinois river, is from twelve to eigh
teen miles in diameter, and contains not less
than 100000 tons OF coal. The deposit
consists OF three seams, one seven feet, one
five feet, and one three to. four feet thick.
The material resources of the Northwest are
indeed astonishing.

The SABBATH IN New YoRK-An effort is
now being made to promote better observ-
ance of the Sabbath in New York City. A
committee chosen for the purpose Of devising
means to secure proper observance of the
day employed an agent to collect statistics of
Sabbath violations in the city The number
of shops, &C., which we've found open on one
Sabbath are the following: restaurants 437
pawnbroker's shops 26 policy and exchange
offices "a; daguerrean galleries So confec-
tionary and segar stores ,234 Sabbath con-
certs IS; dance houses and places of amuse-
ment So dry goods and kindred stores 2,4l9 :;
groceries LIZ; liquor shops and drinking
saloons 3,40S; making a total OF 1892 places
of business and amusement engaged in their
ordinary and mostly destructive traffic on the
Sabbath, or about one place to every 65 of
the entire population. If the average be es.
timated at 20 of the frequenters and custom.
ers of those concerns, it will make nearly
100000 of the population, who may be class
ed as Sabbath breakers, and patrons of Sab
bath breakers. Various causes are assigned
for this Dissertation, the most prominent of
which is the large emigration from lands
where the Sabbath is gay holiday, or where
1t is so overlaid by fast and feast days of HUI
man appointment, as to be practically super.
seeded in the respect and observance of the
people.

AN INCIDENT OF THE LATE PRESIDENTIAL

Imagine, then, group in the porch of

chances of the several candidates for the

sort OF fatal gravitation, to the question of
slavery and its conflict with freedom in the
coming periods OF our history The CONVEX

dubious character which omit in Difference to

WHERE THE CANARY BIRDS COME FRoM.-
There Is an association in Philadelphia COM
posed Of about thirty Germans, who aim at
improving the breed of canary birds and
last month they published their 18th annual
report. From that it appears that the bird
sales OF Philadelphia are confined to Ger
mans, and amount to $4,000 annually, and
three quarters of that are canaries. The com
mon or original canary is of the least value,
and sell at about So apiece the improved
kinds bring from SIS to $40 apiece, and are
from Central Europe. The great majority of
these birds were obtained from Belgium,
where they are bred in houses by the peas
ants, who raise them as a pastime. There
are what are called long" and st short
breeds. Birds of the long breed are procured
from Brussels, Antwerp and Dietz, where
they sometimes obtain extravagant prices
Their cost depends upon the color and shape,
the pure golden yellow being the most es-
teemed. They are only used for the purpose
of breeding, and oftentimes sell for $50
pair. The short breed is raised by the peo-
pie of the Harz mountains Next to the
Belgian the French bird is most priced.
