1t is much easier to keep the system in good con-
dition than to restore it to that condition when
shattered by disease. The "House of Lie," like
other houses. should be promptly propped up and

The first symptom of physical debility shouli be ia

next question is, "What shall the stimulant be?"

THE COLLIERY TRoUBLEs.-A dispatch from
Pottsville, Pa, dated October 1, says:-"Ad-
vices from the Mahoney district report that all
the collieries have suspended operations in
consequence of miners strike. Considerable
dissatisfaction has existed among the men for
some time, and although it has eliminated as
was generally expected, the strike is earlier
and of greater magnitude than looked for by
the operators. The following collieries are re-
ported idle:-Gilbertown, Hickory, J. j. Con-
nor, J. j. Conner s. Son, Heaton & Co., Gil
rard, Mammoth, Garretson, Althous, Wiggan
& Triebels, Atkins & Bros. H. L. Williams
and others. Reports from other regions are to
the effect that work is being suspended. The
men are dissatisfied with the present basis and
in many cases demand an increase of 80 cents
on the present scale of prices
A meeting of the operators and the work.
ing mems association will be held tomorrow,
when it will probably be decided whether there
will be further suspension or general re-
sumption. Unless compromise is eff cited,
the strske will become general throughout the
entire region" t.t'

aIpresumptuous ass appears and attempts

the case not long since, when a tall,
thin-visaged gentleman, white-cravat-
ed, presented himself, aud proceeded to
march into the house.

Horrible Am usements.

A wild and almost fatal piece OF
amusement was indulged in by some
reckless, drunken devils, ont on the Red
Jacket location, on Sunday evening
last. The crowd had taken one of their
number, who Was either more drunk or
stupied than the rest, and werehaviug
"lots of fun with him." by saturating his
hair with bay rum, and "shampOoing"
him. The fun grew fast and uproariOus
and at last eliminated in one of the
party taking can of Kerosene oil and
pouring it all over the poor devil. This
was no sooner done than another one lit
! match aud set the oil on fire In a
moment the poor drunken wretch was
wrapped in a sheet of flames, and but
for the forethOught aud instant inter
position of the keeper of the place,
would soon have been burned to death.
The keeper, however, threw him down
on his face on the floor, and smothered
the flames with au old coat, while the
crowd looked on anu laughed at the
yells of the unfortunate man, and his
frantic efforts 10 extinguish the flames.
As 1t was, he escaped with his hands
and the top and back of his head being
severely burned, and his life is probably
destroyed.
