The Miners.

ASHLAND, Pa, Jan. 20.-It is now stated that
all the collieries in the Shamokin coal basin
have suspended, with the exception of three or
four, and great efforts are being made to get
miners at those collieries TO stop. In the ex-
IRENE western end of the Schuylkil region, there
were three collierieS in operation yesterday. The
men employed there do not belong to the 'be-
nevolent association" Some members of the
association made proposals to work there, but it
is doubtful whether they will procure situations,
as the men engaged are sufficient to operate the
mines. As anticipated, the suspension has re-
suited in acts of violence. The strikers are
tampering and fighting with nOn-association
men.
Several attacks have been made N the Sha-
mokin district, which resulted seriously for both
parties. Further and more aggravated dis
turbances are expected, as nOn-association men
will not quit, and the strikers are determined to
compel them. Preparations have been made by
the operators who own the collierles to protect
their property and men, and as they arc warlike,
1t is not difficult to imagine the result. Men
and women engage in these assaults,
and say nothing will intimidate them
from their purpose of compelling a general sus-
pension. From present indications there will
be more blood shed than ever before. Notwith-
standing all these contentious, reports still con-
tinue to the effect that the difficulty will soon be
settled, and basis arranged between the work
lngmen's benevolent association and the anthra-
cite board of trade; but they are conflicting and
hardly worth credence. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the respectable and industrious class
of miners would much prefer to be at work, as
money is scarce with them and there is no sub
SiSteuce for their families

drawn picture, and is a beautiful piece Of color.
There is another portrait which we always
look at when we enter Mr.. Wizards studio. 1t
has always hung there since he has been in
Worcester. We mean the likeness Of boy, the
artists son. 1t must have required much loving
study and patient labor to paint such portrait.
Time and thought and talent go into such pic
ture.
This is the picture of which George S. Hillard,
the author of six months in Italy, wrote to the
Round Table, as follows; Gas we look at it we
think of a ripe pomegranite or peach. Mr..
Willard has never been in Venice, but in this
work he has caught much of the glow and sun
shine which rradiate the canvas of Titan and
Giorgen'."
There is another picture, recently painted by
Mr.. Willard which ought to be mentioned in
connection with the portraits of Judge Dewey
and Mr.. Aldrch, viz; that of George F. Very
Esq, another member of the Worcester bar
These pictures must all be numbered among
the best of his portraits, and may properly be
classed with his excellent likeness of Governor
Chamberlain, or with his famous picture, the
portrait of Abraham Lincoln, now in possession
Of Washington university.

that, even if a majority of the committee shall
