SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 0.-1:SO AN
Ninety bodies have been found,
e!ghty.two Of which have been brought
TO the surface. A doctor was called for
10 attend the men who explored the
mine, but none present volunteered
and DR.. RIcard, of Plymouth, came
from Plymouth to perform the duty Of
recusitating miners II more foul air Is
encountered. The Coroner will take
testimony on Saturday afternoon,
Heaps Of coal left In the chute have
been lighted and are blazing In long
line extending from the railroad up the
hill. Great outbreaks OF grief occur
among the women In the nearest MI
ner's house. The air In the mine is so
bad that parties can stay but u few
minutes.
New YORK, Sept. o.
A Scranton special says: Later ex-
ploralionS of the mine have developed
a sadder phase OF the tragedy. Many

ers found In them dead, the breast Of
the miners showing that they had been
stricken down by poisonous gas In a
moment, Without O warning, while
they were at work. Road men, roof.
men, door-men, and others, were found
dead In different gangways, showing
that the destruction must have come
swift and sudden.
The spirit svlnced by the miners to-
day has been bitter In the extreme, and
not assuaRed by the offers OF asslstauc
and sympathy flowing In from every
side. Asa Packer has telegraphed that
he offers 800 TO the bereaved, and
Gov. Gsary S. 900. The railroad COM
pany make all the exertlons possible,
and the wishes OF the miners In every
respect are consulted, but they remain
obduraLe. The more reasonable are
ready 10 listen to reason, but they are
In the minority. Many are refractory
and vicious. Trouble is apprehended
and 1t has been avoided only by consu:

From the Portland, Ne.,l Eastern Argus.
Tho "happy dog as our readers have
already been advised, is Count Schneider
butzen, grand chamberlain to the duke of
Baden Although this title is rather i'm
posing, it does not, in the counts own
house, imply either an impressive weight
of dignity or purse notiecably heavy.
The duke of Baden has small cash to
spare, and none to bestow on grand
chamberlains, who have little to do about
his courts, and who "comc cheap" in q
land where every fourth Dutchman is a
count or baron. Indeed a moderate bel
lyfull of kraut and pumpernickel every
Sunday is the only kind of" government
pap'' that ever distends the shriveled skin
OF Scbneidcnbutzen, who is an uncom-
monty sorry specimen of the Tcutonic
nobility. The poor fellow is said to be
in ecstacies over his good fortune in sc.
curinp an heircss for u wife, and to be es-
pecially joyous in the prospect of falling
into the vacant shirts, socks, breeches,
and shoes of the !" late lamented," a large
number of which have not yet followed
his coats and hats to the junk shop. a

Kotzenbratzen, the grand dukes tailor,

The cotton planters ofour County ap
ipor on our streets occasionally and We
are sorry to note, that their faces indi
cate no great success in cotton growing
this year. Many acres. we're planted in
Crawford this season, and we confidently
expected to ship at least two thousand
bales The crops looked fine until the
Summer rains put the weeds ahead and
cotton behind. Then came the life bat
tie against the grass and weeds. Much
cotton was abandoned to the tender mer-
'eies of choking grassland almost every
ones crop was "set back" Hard and
constant work did wonders however, and
the cotton looked well, and did well, af
ter cleaning. Farmers, merchants and
all, looked cheerful, and bright plans and
promises were made for the future :
Farms that had not been repaired since
the war, were to beput in fine condition;
new houses to be erected and waste pla.
ces made glad, But, alas! frost, early
and killing came and blighted many
hopes. The late boles were killed at
once and win never open. The half-open
holes are somewhat injured And alto
gether, the crsp may be set down as a
two-third crop only. Instead of 1900
bales, our County will probably ship
about twelve or eighteen hundred bales.
This is a terrible falling off, and, one
that all of us must feel. The cotton crop
seems to have been iniNred more or less
throughout the State, and the entire
South. Short crops all over the cotton
growing region will, in some sense, be
advantageous to the cotton-growcrs, by
proportionatcly enhancing the price of
the raw material. Cotton is dangerous
crop, and we are truly sorry our farmers
do not turn their attention to some other
crops along with cotton a

LETTER FROM L. c. WHITE, Eso-The

of the GAZETTE, and first published in the
Van Buren, Press, is from gentleman
residing in the North Western portion of
the State, who is Republican aud late
federal office he older---U. S. Marshal for
the Western Judicial District of Arkan-
sas--whosc "politieal consistency we
are not disposed to call in question. The
position Of the gentleman, as he avows it
in the letter, is, on the contrary, such as
we believe to be perfectly consistent with
true republicanism and what we know of
his past political course. 1t is creditablc
to him and to the party with which he so
fearlessly offers to identify himself The
illusions quoted in the letter from the
GAzErrE's article, referred only to those
who, having been confederatcs as long
as their cause was hopeful, then Republi
can until they were denied share in the
spoils, enjoyed in the plunder Of their
old friends, Then they found it neccssa-
~ for any sort Of recognition to launch
their little RATS formed Of the timbers OF
their own wrecks upon the tide ofa grow
ing feeling Of conciliation and abandon
mcnt of extremes, which they serve to
obstruct rather than increase in volumne
or current, and for their otcn personal
cnds regardless Of all other copsidera-
tons. -.4
But the tide rises and bears onward,
notwithstanding these and other weights
and distractions; and modern Canutcs
who now vainly say to it, "Thus far
shalt thou 60 and no farther, and here
shall thy proud waves be stayed" must
descend from the thrones OF arrogance
and bigotry aud retire before it-or be
