10 he the best ever found in the mine.
Nor A CowARD.-Eveniug before last
some of the employees in the Savage
mine. while waiting for the hour to
arrive when they were to go to work,
commenced discussing politics. The
discussion waxed warm between two of
the parties; one \ large man, with Cop
perhead principles, and the other u
small man, with large Radical views.
Having the right side of the question,
the Radical was rather fast for his Cop
perry friend, when the Cop. brought for
ward, as a knock-down argument, that
he was - id cowardly AbolitioniSt.'
Radical told him that he was an Adolf
ZIONIST. but not n coward, and If he
would walk out he would show him.
In less than a minute they were punch
ing one another with great vigor. The
Foreman came along and stopped them,
but not until both had their eyes in blue.
Both men were discharged, but the little
fellow showed he was no coward, just
rs q million Americans have done within
the past FIVE years.

The STORM Is VIRGIXIA.-The rain and
snow storm in Viriuia city has done much
damage TO property. Many buildings

PoStofice also leaks badly. Some of
the stores on B street during last night
were flooded by the water daming up
behind them and running in ut the back
doors.
