a man in Cincinnati was recently so an
noyed by the caterwauling of an array of
feline quadrupeds, that he got out Of bed,
seized boot jack and rushed to the win
dow to inf1ict dire vengeance. An opposite
ueighbor being likewise minded appeared at
the same moment, at his window, with Il
pistol, which he fired AT the cat, but the
bullet went directly in the window of the
boot jack nan, which so alarmed him that
he retreated to bed; the cats, however, were
scared off for the night. Fortunately no
one was hurt.
THE GREATEST RAILROAD IN THE WORLD.
1t is claimed that the Union Pacific Rail
road is now one third completed, and many
believe that the other twO.thirds will be
finished by 1870 Up TO this time $40, ,000,-
900 have been expended on the work in
Nebraska and California. More laborcrs
are now employed on the work than ever
before The five hundred miles operated in
Nebraska have all been constructed since
January !, 1866.

Coal Trade.

The quantity sent by railroad this week is
G0,304 05-by canal 80, 1873 O0-for the week
l0l,577 O5 tons against 03, 222 tons for the
corresponding week last year.
As the season draws to close the trade
is Frightening up a little in order to lay in
stocks abroad for the winter, thinking that
prices cannot go any lower this Fall
The dealers abroad have been very eau
tious in laying in much stock, because last
year prices receded at the close of naviga-
ton. This year such will not be the case,
because no further reduction can be made
in its production, and the transporting COM
panies will not reduce their rates much be-
fore the spring trade opens. Wages are as
low as they can go with the present prices
of provisions.
Several colleries have closed for the win
ter. The men turned out on the first of the
month and demanded higher wages, which
were refused. All but few were ready TO
continue to work, but these few controlled
! the others. If the men who desire to work,
! do not show more determination to resist
| such influences, they must expect to suffer
with them. Those who desire to work will
be fully protected by the police force when
such protection is required. The conse-
! quence was that the mines were closed up
for the winter, and the hands must either
remain idle or seek employment elsewhere
An advance in wages so near the close OF
the season never takes place unless the bust
ness is prosperous, or the rates are lower
| than paid elsewhere. In these cases nearly
| two months work at these collieries will be
lost at the close of the season, wnich is an
important consideration when provisions arc
high and business dull.-Miners' Journal.
