Rev. Mr.. Rich of Brookfeld spoke last eve
ming in the town hall at Holden, before large
audience, upon the subject of "Amusements as
connected with Home and Society,"" He advo-
Gated the use, not the abuse, of amusemcnts;
and believed that our homes should be made
attractive, and furnished with suitable means of
recreation, and thus prevent the children from
going into bad company at unsuitable places
and hours; they will then love home and will
be kept from the vicious influences connected
with public amuscments.
The Fitchburg Reviele's Leon mister CORE
spondent writes very discouragingly of the pros
pect for sidewalks in that town. He says: eve
are more deficient in this respect than in any
town in America of the same size. few rods
on Main street is all we have to boast of, and
that is held as curiosity by those who have
never been out of town. l wish we had more
men of like energy with the builder of that.
There is committee TO take into consideration
the matter of building a short piece from the
bridge on Central street to the post Office but
do not remember who they are, it is 50 long
since they have been heard from. Leaving a
matter to committee virtually tables it in this
town"

TERRIBLE EFFECTS OF A TORNADO.
ST. LOUIS, March 9.-The deaths caused by
tornado in east St. Louis yesterday, as far rs
known, are seven. Thirty or more were seri-
ousy hurt, several of whom cannot recover.

much outnumbcr the above. An immense
amount of frame work, in and around the east
ern abutment of the bridge, consisting of der
ricks and massive supports for other hosting
apparatus, was blown down like so many reeds.
Some thirty families are rendered homeless,
most of their houses having been totally de-
Stroyed.
The shipping was damaged. Capt. Mont
gomery, of the Hewitt was blown into the
river, and rescued slightly injured. At the sec
tional docks, on this side Of the river, Just be-
low the city, the storm also damaged the ship
ping.
At the Pttsburg coal dyke, on the Illinois
shore, several small houses were demolished

senate, Yesterday, bills extending general laws
governing mines and protecting the lives OF
miners IN the anthracite region to the western
bituminous coal fields, was passed to a third
reading, just as the miners wanted it, all amend
ments being defeated. The result is hcralded as
a great victory over transporting companies.
The house will, in all probability, concur.
The leading managers of the coal railroads
testified concerning tile strikes, before the judi
ciary committee last evening, aud representa-
tives Of the workingmen's benevolent associa-
ton will also be examined. William Kendrick,
president of the anthracite board OF trade, and
large delegations of miners are here.
The large iron furnaces at Danvie and neigh
borhood are on the point of stopping, and with
in forty-eight hours five thousand men will be
out of employment The governor to-day took
decided grounds in favor of:the miners. He will
employ the entire power of the state to compel
the corporations TO reduce their rates. Well in
formed persons assert that he will, if necessary,
resort to more vigorous means than slow jul
dcial process. Various rumors are atoat.
Among others, that six thousand workmen in
tend visiting the state capital.

The Worcester central district temperance
union had their quarterly session in the Con-
gregational church (Rev. Elnathan Davis'S), in
Auburn, yesterday. The president, Rev Samu.
Ell May, of Leicester, was in the chair. and Mr..
5. d. King, of Sutton, secretary. After prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Norton, of Northbridge, the pres-
dent made some opening remarks explanatory
of the importance of the cause, which, he said,
was based on the eternal principles of right and
the laws of God. He called upon all to do their
duty toward doing away with the terrible evils
of intemperance in our country, as of more con-
sequence even than the eradication of the fear
full and bloody despotsm of slavery, from
which we had just been delivered. He
welcomed moral Suasion and all other means
for this end. Legal measures should be adopt
cd wherever practicable. The honor aud digni-
ty OF the clerical Office required all ministers to
preach the gospel Of temperance, as a funda-
mental principle of Christianity. Why should
we nave any laws unless to protect the weak.
1t was our duty to erect a barrier to the pro-
gresS OF the tremendous evil of intemperance
MIR. May referred to the recent revival in the
Father Matthew temperance organization in
Worcester, as hopeful sign of the times, and
was glad representative of that society was
present and would address the meeting. Mr..
May said he differed from the sentiment
expressed by Father Power last Sunday
evening, that the liquor dealer had right to
sell, and to go to hell, if he chose to. If he had
right to go to the latter place, he had no right
to drag others there with him; it was our duty
to prevent his doing that. He expressed con-
fident hope Of great good to result from the
movement referred 10 among our adopted fellow
citizens, and trusted the same spirit of progress
in the cause, by free discussion and action and
the circulation of the pledge, would spread
widely among all classes of the community. 1t
was our duty to deal with the drunkard maker,
as well as With the driuker in our efforts for the
suppression Of intemperance, and be hoped the
good work would go on everywhere.
The committee on resolutions, consisting Of
kev. Elnathan Davis of Auburn, Rev. A. J

RECORDS OF MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS.
MesSrS. Editors: In the legislative report of
the Spy, yesterday, the statement is made that
the adjutant general testified before the military
committee that the errors in the "Rccords Of
Massachusetts Volunteers" referred to in the
petition of Co. d, 18th regiment, were caused
by Inaccuracies in the musteI-out rolls" 1t
seems hardly possible that Gen. Cunningham
could thus have testified, for, in letter which l
have in my possession, this official states exact
ly how these errors were caused, and the
explanation entirely exonerates the COM
pany officers. l quote his language:
81 regret that the errors spoken of in
your letter to the Worcester Spy have been
printed. They were printed correctly in the
first proof from the printer, but were nadvertent-
ly changed in the transposition that was made
to make the list alphabetically correct.
The names only were transposed when the
whole line should have been This would seem
to be conclusive as to the responsibility for the
errors. may add that one copy of the original
muster-out Iol is now in this city, and careful
examination has shown it TO be substantially
correct. I. J. HASTINGS.

Deep and Shallow Flowing.

A prominent and successful
planter gives his views on the inns
portant subject, to Southern Agri-
culturists in the following language:
rCLfaye paid a great deal of at
tention to what. is termed deep
plowing, and Tnever yet have seen
any plqwing that can average over;
six inches deep, and that looked SO
deab; tasd mexperien person, it
could easily be planted off as eight
or ten inches deep. But after try
ing satisfactorily both deep and
shallow blowing, I have come to
3theiconclusion that plowing should
be regulated to suit the land we
were plowing. IF l. went into a
MM with but four inches Of
soil, I woaldo turn over that land
but three or four inches, and sub.
soil IN the furrow Of the turning
plow; sthat would be my system
for the first time / plowed such
