The anthracite Monitor Of March 5th,
says
We see by the reports of the legislative
proceedings that Senator Randall has pre-
sented bill for the establishment of hos
pital in Schuylkill county. This is some
thing which has long been needed in this re-
gion, and ought to have been done long
ago. 1t is a terrible thing for poor, man
gled, crushed miner to be taken all the way
tortured by his wounds and bruises, down
to Philadelphia. In fact the journey is
enough to kill the poor unfortunates under
their bodily suferings. We hope the bill
will pass, and think our committee ought to
pay little attention to it while they are
down at Harrisburg.

Lamartine tells a story that exquisitely
illustrates mothers love: 10 some
spring freshet, river widely washed its
shores and rent away bough whereon .
bird had built cottage for her summer
hope. Down the white and whirling stream
drifted the green branch. its wicker cup Of
unfedged song, and fluttering beside it as it
went, the mother bird. Unheeding the
roaring river, on she went, her cries Of
agony and fear piercing the pauses in the
storm. How like the love Of the old
fashioned mother, who followed the child she
he'd pIucked from her heart, all over the
world. Swept away by passion that child
might be, it mattered not, though be was
bearing away with him the fragrance of the
shattered roof-tree, yet that mother was with
him, Ruth through all his life, and a
Rachel at his death.

This Republic now contains 10000, 900
Of people. Seven-eights of that great po-
pulation get their living by labor. They
embrace all farmers, mechanics, and tOiling
women and children employed in our manu-
factories. They include 10 their ranks the
real talent and ability Of the country. They
furnish the genius that invents and the
labor that produces. Look at our magni6-
cent cities, our factories, our workshops, and
the infinite machinery that fills the land
with the hum of industry-all are the crea-
tons Of the inventor and the laborer-all
have sprung from the ranks of the working
man. What sublime results Of genius and in-
dustry!
Yet, while the masses have been toiling,
creating and producing the wealth and gran
deur of the country. they have been govern
ed by demasogues, and have been taxed
while they have toiled. Workingmen is it
not true that you should govern yourselves
Is it not essential that you should do your
own legislation You have the numbers !;
you have the pOwe- you can control both
Legislation and the administration Of govern
ment. Make your power felt at the effective
and right place-fhs balEot tor.

Irish Mines.

In the reign Of Tigearnmas, one Of the
Milesian monarchs, about nine centuries
before the Christian era, according to our
old annalists, a gold mine was discovered
near the river Liffey, and the gold was
worked by an arti6cer skilled in metals,
named Uachadan, of the men Of Cualan, a
territory which comprised the County Of
Wicklow, with some Of the southern part Of
Dublin. This Uachadan is supposed to
have been one Of the Tuatha de Danans,
who were famous for their skill in the arts,
and after they had been conquered by the
Milesians continued to be the CHER artihcers
of the kingdom, as workers in metals,
builders, mechanics, &C. In modern times,
Wicklow bad become celebrated for its gold
mines, discovered in the mountain Of Gro
CHAN Kinshella, near Arklow, by one of the
country people, who found small piece Of
pure gold in rivulet running from the
mountain, and the fame of this having
soon spread, vast numbers Of the peasantry
assembled to make further searches, and
collected in few months Of this alluvial
gold washed down by the mountain streams
about three thousand ounces, which sold
for about 10000 sterling. Some of the
pieces found were very large. and one solid
lump Of nearly pure gold weighed twenty
three ounces This native gold was of
beautiful rich yellow, and very fine, being
only alleged with minute portions Of silver,
copper, or iron The Government took
possession of the mines, and worked them
for about two years. but then abandoned
them as not sufficiently productive. Moore,
in his exquisite song. Has sorrow thy
young days shaded ?" compares mistaken
love to the gold which shone on the sur
face of the Wicklow soil. but if in the pur-
suit Of which we went deeper, as fast as the
lream Of the slumbercr, disappeared.

(For the Vindicator.)

By invitation, the Valley Musical Associ-
alton assembled in Bethel Church, in this
county, on Tuesday, the 17ttb inst, to hold
their Semi annual meeting.
Rev. Jas. Murray was called to the chair
and presided during the transaction of all
business connected with the Association
Prof. Evans, the very able Conductor, was
promptly present at the hour of meeting and
conducted the delightful exercises of this AS
ISOLATION from day to day until its close with
grand and signal success
The weather was delightful. The large
and highly cultivated audience constantly in
attendance seemed to inspire Prof. Evans
with more than his usual enthusiasm. He
fully sustained his enviable and well-carned
reputation. On Friday afternoon concert
was given to large and appreciative audi
enoe. The members of the Association ac-
quilted themselves very handsomely. The
Choruses were we'll sustained. The Solos,
Duets and Quartetts were received with
rounds of applause, and several of them had
to be repeated Every body was delighted
and every thing passed off in the most de-
lightful manner. AS an evidence. public
invitations were extended to the Association
by representatives from Hebron and New
Providence Churches to hold their next
Semi annual meeting at their respective pla-
ces. The vote was taken on the question by
the Association os to which church should
be their next place of meeting, and decided
in favor of New Providence, by vote
of 43 to 80. Augusta Church also cx-
pressed desire that the next Semi annual
meeting should be held there.
On motion, it was resolved by the Associ-
alton that all the proceeds OF the concert,
after paying necessary expenses, be appro-
priated to the sufferers by the late confagra-
ton at Fincastle.
An opportunity being given, sixteen gen.
tlemen and eight ladies became members of
the Valley Musical Association.
The meeting adjourned to hold their next
Fall meeting at New Providence Church.
There were seventy three members in at
tendance.
The following letter was received from
Professor E. Louis Ide:
Staunton, Va, May 18th 1870.

only be season of musical enjoyment to
you all, but that you, and the beautiful art
you practice, may mutually be benefited by
these reunions. May success attend you.

The Last Snake Story.
This big snake story was sens to the


GRAVES Co. KY. May 7, 1870.
"Colomel Noble Il give you below a
description of snake seen on che Obion,
as it was related to me by two gentlemen.
They were planting corn on the creek bank
Qittlc Obion) when their attention was cal
led to what they supposed to be an OK, by
its blowing, some forty yards down the
creek from them They thought the OK
had come through a water gap, and from
the cracking of the brush, was making his
way into the farm. When they had adyanc-
ed some twenty PAGES they discovered the
object of the disturbance to be not all OK,
but a monster snake lying its full length in
the field. with its head erect at least six feet
from the ground 1t was at least forty feet
in length, its head Was as big as bushel
basket, and it had spots on it as large as
pocket handkerchief, About this time they
gave Lightfoot notice to leave there, which
frightened the snake, and he gave whistle
as loud as locomotive and all at once start
ed with twice the speed of a locomotive,
breaking brush as large as mans arm,
and tearing up shrubbery generally. After
they got over their fright they went back
and saw brush as large as a mans arm the
snake had broken. vouch for the truth

monster snake 2"
