A NUMBER of our young me7 belonging

this place, went to Curwensville, by invita-
ton, on Saturday, to play friendly game
with the Susquehannas. The game was
lively and exciting, and was well played,
Notwithstanding the heavy rain that fell
during its progress The fielding was ex-

not so good. The following is the score:

"?ALAcE CARS FOR THE PACIFIC RAIL
RoAD.-The Chicago Republican of April
22d says: If fresh evidences are wanting OF
the prospective speedy opening of the Pacific
Railroad, they are readily supplied from the
fact that three of Pullman's magnificent
palace sleeping cars are already completed,
will be in readiness at the time specified.
The Humboldt, Platte and Michigan are COM
plete triumphs in the sleeping car line, and
are equipped with all the most recent i'm
provemen,s that luxury can desire or in
genuity suggest. They are at the Michigan
Central Depot, and will be placed upon the
road on the LIST of May. They will run from
Chicago to SILT Lake, changing at Omaha
and Cheyenne. When sufficiently large
number Of these splendid coaches are COM
pleted they will be let to private parties and
run through to the Pacific coast without
change.

The ANCIENT MARINER AGROUND
The Associated Press dispatches con-
tain the following

tain the following:
When Secretary Welles departed frcr-
Washington he received permission to USE
one Of the Government vessels to transport
his household effects to his home at Hart
ford. After much trouble the goods were
sailed. but it was found that she drew toe
much water to cross the bar at the mouth o.
the Connecticut river, and in consequence
the Secretary had to take the goods tc New
London and ship them thence to Hartford
by express, the expressage being double
what it would have been if he had shipped
the goods from Washington in a regular
trade vessel.
Poor old Gid Unfortunate as this
last, browning exploit OF his was, it was
out a fitting climax to his notable
career. For Secretary of the Navy
not to know the depth ,of water at the
mouth of the principal river of bis
native State is a thing to be immortal
ICED in the annals of navigation. There
IS another instance of this ancient
mariners hariag failed to take sound
ings be.sTe ven.uTing upon al unknown
shore. 1t occurred when he skipped
his political effects on that hermaPhro
iite schooner known as the Andrew
johnson. We are afraid that the ex
Secretary is to be classed among those
who ara too old to learn and too far
gone to be renovated.

| Coon ToAsTs AND Coop SPEEcH-Ths
following report of some of the doings of the
laying Of the last rail we find in Yesterday,
Enterprise. The toasts offered by Mr.. Tri:le
and Governor Stafford are very happily con-
ceived and Mr.. Harkness' speech is per
feet gem:
Hon. F. A. Tritle of Nevada offered the
silver spike with the following sentiment
Sc To the lion of the East and the gold Of the
West, Nevada adds her link Of silver to span
the continent and wed the oceans"
Hon. A. P. X. Stafford presented spike of
iron, silver apd gold, an offering from Ari-
IONA, with the sentiment: Ribbed with
iron, clad in silver and crowned with gold,
Arizona presents her offering to the enter
prise that has banded the continent and made
clear a pathway to commerce.
Mr.. Hardness presented the golden spike
from California, with the following remarks
" Mr. President he last rail needed to COM
plete the greatest railroad enterprise of the
world is about to be laid the last spike

De driven to its place. To perform these
acts, you, the east and the West, have come
together. Never, since history commenced
her record of human events, has she been
called upon to note the completion of work
so magnificent in conception, so marvellous
il execution. When Venice was mistress of
the seas and her argosies let go their anchors
IN every port, it was the custom of the Doges
to propitia,e the gent of the seas by wedding
the Adriatic with a costly jewel. More
proudly than Venice, can America boast Of
her power and the progress of her wealth
and commerce. Not the sea only, but
the continent, is made their pathway.
Unlike the Doges of Venice, we have no
geai Of the seas to propitiate but, in emula
ton of their example, We may fifty orna
men, and decorate with gold and silver these
iron rails, on which, to large degree, the
travel and trade of the continent is about
to roll; and i, is in this mode that California,
within whose borders and bv whose citizens
the Pacific RailroAd was inaugurated, is
DESTROYS to express her appreciation Of the |
vast Importance to her and her sister States

addition, is about to be consummated. From

THE UNION PACIFIC DIRECTORS
HELD AS HOSTAGES FOR MONEY
DUE THEIR WORKMEN.

I'VE AAGA0 "VNAAN4N'
It's very evident from the following
statement which comes by telegraph,
that the men who performed the labor
of building the Union Pacific Railway
are determined not to be swindled if the
| stockholders are
OGDEN (Utah), Sunday, 9.-On Wednes-
Gay afternoon parted from DR.. Durant aud
his party, at Echo. They we're going East
as far as Wasatch, but that night, having
gone beyond Wasatch, the train was stop
ped at Piedmont by a mob of workmen
camoring for their wages. The crowd,
which numbered 500, took the Directors car
off the train, switched it on to siding and
there kept DIR. Durant in durance, threaten
ing to hang him unless he gave them their
mohey. 1t is not easy to obtain much relia-
BILE information about this matter, the Off
GERS of the Union Pacific, of course, endeav-
oring to keep it as quiet as possible. but
from my knowledge of the class of men who
are employed in building this road. am led
to the opinion that DIR. Durant had very
narrow escape, and that if he had failed to
procure the money he would certainly have
been hanged. l learn this morning that he
succeeded in getting a supply of currency,
and that the men, being paid, liberated him.
He is now on his way to the promonto to
witness the laying Of the last rail, which
will take place at nooa tomorrow.
1t is BY no means certain that there will
not be some trouble at the front on that &C.
easion. 1t is reported that large number
of the unpaid employees of the Union Pa
cifc intend to make hostile demonstration
at the promontory against the Directors,
and il they do there will probably be some
lives lost. THESE men are generally des-
pera.e characters, and set no value on hu-
man life. They have shot and hung several
sub contractors and foremen, and they all
carry pistols, which they use as freely as we
do tooth picks. The Central Pacific men
are quiet and well behaved. They carry no
arms, and seldom have any fights.
This comparison between the Diree
tors of the two roads speaks volumes in
favor of the character aud business
of the Central Company.
