The PittsfOn Sufferers.

NEW YORK, June IA special dispatch
says that the miners rescued alive at the
West Plttston shaft are still suffering from
the effects of the gas and smoke inhaled
by them. The first man taken out of the
pit Sunday morning, Andrew Morgan, lies
IN very critical condition. The brothers,
Robert, Thomas and William Small, seem
to have almost recovered their health and
are considered out of dangelL John Price
is recovering rapidly, being able to be re
moved to his own house in East Pittston.
George Edwards has suffered great agony.
but now seems to be slowly improving:
Michael Cox is very low-his recovery
seems doubtful; Anthony Ford is reported
much better, and though very weak is NOV
ing about, Thomas Edwards is fast regain
ing the use of his faculties and his strength;
Owen Martin is dead; James Jones' lad
about twelve years old, who was supposed
on Sunday to be sinking, is now improving
and expected to recover. John Gibbs is ex-
tremely i'll, though his physicians do not
despair of saving his life; Thomas Savage
is in very low and dangerous condition,
with feeble pulse, and his fate is doubtful;
John Williams is in imminent danger; he
has suffered injuries to the spinal column,
though he may recover; Joseph Fell is low
and in equal danger. The correct number
in the mine at the time the breaker was dis
covered on fire is ffty-nine; twenty-five of
these were taken out before the works
burned down, seventeen were taken out of
the pit dead, and four died since. The six
teen remaining are all doing well, and will
probably recover.

A SERIOUS CUTTING ARRAY.
One Man Probably MOrtally and Another
SliRbtly WOunded.

From the Marshall Texas, Weeklyl
We are panied to announce one of those
serious and deplorable acts, which, at times
astonish and bewilder every community. 1t
seems that the homicidal mania is vet rife
in the land. On yesterday evening, Mr.
Dan Myers and Charles Slater had dis
pute about some tax bills, as we are told,
though at this time there seemed to be no
apprehension of any serious or fatal termina-
tion of the difficulty. But somewhat later
in the day Slater met Myers, the former, it
is said somewhat intoxicated. Slater asked
Myers If he would drop the subject of dis
pute; Myers said yes, that he had no per
sOnal- ill-feeling against him and should
willingly drop the matter. Slater then
again brought up the incidents of the pre-
vious meeting, and said, speaking to Myers,
"You acted the id son of b. and at
the same time attempted to draw his pistol.
Myers, who at this time was seated on a
small stool in front of his door, being
within reach of Slater, caught Slater's
hand containing the pistol with his (Myers)
left, at the same time reaching with his
right hand an axe handle near by, and with
it struck Slater over the head, telling him
to the ground. Now comes new, and up
to this time unseen actor on the tragical
stage. Young Slater, son of Mr.. Charles
Slater, came, to all appearances, from a
place of cOncealment, and went at Myers
with a knife, using it with terrible effect
inficting cash on the forehead from above
the left to the right eye, also cutting one of
the main arteries of his left arm The lat
ter, it is thought, will prove fatal.
AS usual ON suck occasions the city police
could not be found and the duty of arrest
ing the parties was performed by the
Sheriff. We failed to state that Mr.. Wise
man, by-stander, who attempted to sep
arate young Slater and Myers, was wounded,
we are glad to say, but slightly. We I'M
derstand that Slater was released on bail
of $500. We can not see why this was
done, when we are told the life of Mr..
Myers is in great danger. Slater should
have been confined to await the result of
Mr.. Myers wound, to see whether it proves
fatal or not. AT last accounts it was feared
the wound would prove fatal. We hope
such will not be the case.

The Richmond Wing is very severe on
JEFF Davis for uttering language that will
be used TO the detriment of the South, and
which he had promised to keep to himself.
DAVIS forever proclaims his aversion to
puohclty, and declares that he will be
silent, because he knows he will be misrep-
resented. After this declaration he gener-
ally hunts up stump and puts in an
appearance as speaker. The Wing does
not altogether love JEFF Davis, but it dis
likes to speak unkindly of one who has worn
Yankee manacles for his political princi-
pies" which, considering all things, is
rather mild manner of stating the of
lenses of the late confederate president.
The Wing, like good many other Southern
organs, thinks that Davis is taxing South
ern endurance, and it upbraids him with
gross incompetency and an objectionable
ignorance at the time of the Hamilton
Roads conference, which brought upon the
South the evils it has since suffered. Davis,
in spite of bis assumed modesty, is filled
with selfish vanity, and he is only too eager
TO make the same sort of mess" now that
lie SO efiectually made dozen years ago.

THE SPIRIT Of DEMOCRACY,
Tuesday, August Aa. lS7I.
Specldt EraSity ot Milk,

[. The Milk Journal, recently comment
ing On the quality of milk, states that
its density or specific gravity is not, as
is generally understood, safe criterion
of the goodness of milk. According
to the journal:
"Milk, when kept two or three days,
often becomes actually lighter than wa.
ter. This curious fact is somewhat diff
fcult OF credence, since milk contains
about ten per cent. of solid matter. If
correct, the great dimiDution in specific
gravity can only be accounted for by
some molecular changes in the milk, land
perhaps 10y the evolution of gases. Some
similar change in density also occurs
when milk is shaken by transport. 1t
is an important sanitary question, ,whelh-
er milk which has undergone such chan
yes Is safe food for man or animal. For
young or delicate animals, or for babies,
or for young calves, stale milk, or even
inilk which has been transported dis
tance of several miles, is often found to
be injurious, producing readily acidity,
and proving otherwise difficulty of di-
gestion. The shaking of any consid-
erable journey appears SO to change the
relation of the constituents of the milk
TO each other, that the curd does not af-
terwards properly separate from the
whey, nor does the cream rise, as in
fresh milk, to the surface. These chan.
yes are delayed when the milk, as is
common in America, is rapidly cooled
down so soon as it is drawn from the
cow.

Preventing Consumption.

1t is not intended to give a chapter
on this dire disease, consumption, be-
ieving that few words on its preven-
tion will be more useful. TO insure
success we must begin with the infant
subject-the offspring of healthy ances-
tors. Protect in infancy with soft fan
ne. next the skin, and let it breathe only
pure air. In youth teach it that good
health is the greatest of earthly bless
ings; without it there can be no enjoy
1nent of life, and with it there can be no
complaints of its defects. Teach it that
good health, like an estate, may be
squandered little by little, until it is
bankrupt. Teach it that temperance in
all things is essential; that there can be
no violence of the laws of nature with
impunity. Teach tito sit and walk erect,
that the chest may be fully expanded
Do not suffer the clothing to be so tight
ON the chest or body as to interfere in
the smallest degree with the expansion
of the lungs. To keep the feet dry, use
thick oiled leather, loosely applied. Ex-
ercise several hours every day in the
open air. Choose virtuous and cheer
ful companions, with whom singing and
laughter may be indulged in, and finally
take time to eat and masticate your
food well.

A Centre Shot.

Hon. D. W. Vorhees, of Indiana, ad-
dressed an immense audience in the city
of Louisville, last Saturday night. In
the course of his speech he administered
the following well directed tlow to our
gift enterprise President:
~ ask any Radical in the city of
Louisville, when you go home, if you
will dare to say to your son Of eighteen.
"My son, look at the conduct of Cen
eral Grant, as President of the United
States; look at the manner in which he
has grown rich; look at the manner in
which he accepts presents from every
man, look at him, poor when he came
to power and place, but now worth from
two to three millions. Look at him as
pattern for ycu to follow when you
get a chance Dare one of you do
that? / challenge the father or the
mother to take their child by the hand
and point to the conduct of General
Grant since he has been in power as
President of the United States, and tell
that child that there is an example fol
him to follow, alongside of jefferson,
Washington, Madison, and all the grea,
holy sires of the Revolution.

charge for passage r
s'Three cents per mile and boarded"
said the captain.
"Wall, l guess I'll take passage, capt
ing, seeing as how I'm kinder gin out
walking 80 far"
Accordingly he got on board as the
steward was ringing for dinner. Jona-
than sat down and began demolishing
the "fixins," to the utter CONSERVATION
of the captain, until he had cleared the
table of all that was eatable, when he
got up and went on deck picking his
teeth very comfortably.
"How far is it, capting, from here to
where i got on board3'
'Nearly one and half miles," said
the captain.
Lets see,'' said Jonathan, "that
would be just four and half cents
but never mind, capting, ! won't be
small; here's five cents, which pays my
fare to here; guess I'll 60 ashore now ;
I'm kinder rested eout."

teachers,as they will aid us materially in grant
ing certificates to those only who are successful.
Teachers failing to pass an examination need
not apply for re-examiuation in less time
than one month thereafter.
1t is important that the standard of Monroe
county teachers should be advanced, and sppli-
cants will do well to bear this in mind
Attendance upon the sessions Of the Teach
ers' Institute will be regarded as an indication
of the wish of the teacher to avail himself of all
the means of self-improvement, and as a recon.
mendation to the good opinion of the Exami-
ners
A fee of fifty cents is required by law from
each applicant as condition of examination,

were given by Mr. Jefferson in a letter
of advise to his namesake Thos. Jeffer-

you can do to-day.
2. Never trouble others with what
you can do yourself
8. Never spend money before you
have it

because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
6. We never repent of having eaten
too little.
Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
g. How much pain have those evils
cost us which never happened.
8. Take things always by their smooth
handle.
