putting down the irreligious government, who were
running the country. Next day he departed in the
direction OF Canuelas, and encamped for the night
on an esfancia near to that town.
The authorities were, fortunately, previously in
formed OF his approach, and succeeded in collecting
a few National Guards, whom they armed the best
way they could, one cartridge per head being the
allowance OF ammunition; and in the meantime dis
patched chasques to the neighborng partidos, des-
crlblng their situation and praying for assistance
In the evening a slight skirmsh took place, in
which few shots were fired by the rebels and the
National Guards were driven from an outpost they
had occupied. The following day the officer in
command, Don Jose Alfaro, despatched his small
force to reconnoitre the enemy, while he awaited
some reinforcements then close at hand but the
religious column" who Just then engaged in
preparations for breakfast did not await any fur

A RELIc-The Philadelphia Press publishes II
"Remonstrance against lighting with Cas- which
presented to the Councils Of Philadelphia, Nov.
! 18th, 1883, and which within few days past has
been reproduced in of the courts of that city,
The remOnstrants speak of the destruction of fish
! in the Delaware and Schuylkill, by the "putrid
drains the constant digging up of the streets, the
intersection OF water pipes by the gas pipes, and
say:
ave consider Gas to be an article as ignitable
gunpowder, and nearly fatal in its effects: as
regards the immense destruction of property, we
believe the vast number of fires in New York and
other cities, may be in great measure, ascribed to
this mode of lighting, the leakage of pipes and care
essness of stopping off the gas furnish almost daily
instances of its destructive effects. And when we
consider that this powerful and destructive agent
must necessarily be often left to the of youth
domestics and careless people, only wonder that
the consequences have not been more appalling.-
1t is also an uncertain light, sometimes suddenly
disappearing, and leaving streets and houses in
total darkness"
The remonstrance is signed by great number of
the most respectable citizens of Philadelphia

RITcHIE, Va, COUNTY CoAL-The Camel Coal
lately discovered in Ritchie county, Va, has been
carefully analyzed by practical chemist Of Bati-
more, and is found to yield fortyve gallons of Oil
to two thousand pounds of COAL This is about the
yield of the Kanawha Camel Coal, but it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the vein is opened farther
in, the coal will be found richer in OIL
The vein that has been opened is directly on the
line of the Northwestern Virginia Railroad be-
tween nineteen and twenty miles from Parkers-
burg, in the bank of Goose Greek. On top of the
Camel Coal is eight inch vein of pure fire clay,
then comes vein Of something over two feet thick
of Camel Coal which gets thicker the further it is
mined and under this is three foot vein Of superb
or btuminous coal. Some distance above this there
