THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT WEST
PITTSTON.

The terrible tragedy at West Pittston on
Saturday, resulting in the death of a number
Of miners and abounding with heart-rending
scenes Of agony, affords painful new illus
tration of the necessity of adopting more
effective legal measures to prevent similar
calamities. 1t is stated that, under the exist
ing laws, only twenty men, at most, should
have been at work in the West Pittston mine,
and that the mine inspector of the district had
given an official notification of this fact and
yet thirty-seven dead, dying, and fesrfully
injured men have been raised out of this ter
rible shaft. 1t is bad enough that the acci-
dent occurred at al, that q single life was
jeopardized, but fearful load of guilt at
taches to those who have nearly doubled the
proportions of the calamity by direct de-
fance of clear provision of existing statutes.
If this act can be traced to those entrusted
with the management of the mine, no punish
ment of their fearful guilt will be too severe;
and even if the unfortunate miners wilfully
connived at an evasion of the law, that fact
should not shield those men who controlled
their operations. The Avondale disaster i'm
pressed even tardy Legislators with the neces-
sity of having law passed for the protection
of life in the mining districts. The West
Pittston tragedy should teach courts and juries
that it might be rigidly enforced, even
if its enforcement requires reckless operators
of mines to be imprisoned for life or to be
hung as murderers. The mining question
has many sides, and though the miners, as
body, have been guilty of numerous outrages,
the State cannot ignore its duty of shielding
them from the appalling dangers that un-
scrupulous capitalists impose. One of the
surest ways to reform the miners, and to in
spire them with proper feeling towards their
employers and to the community at large, is
to prove to them that the strong arm of the
Commonwealth is ever ready to shield them
from unnecessary dangers, and to avenge
such of their associates as are sacrificed by
wanton neglect to provide proper precautions
for their safety.

WINTER CARE OF SuEEP.-Shecp are look
ING ,ip. The tide has turned. But unless
sheep are to be taken up as permanent part
Of the farm stock and proper care and atten-
ton given to them, it would be better for the
farmer to let them alone. Sheep properly
cared for are the most profitable and least
troublesome farm stock; but if neglected
and improperly managed, none so soon be-
come out of condition and become diseased
and die. Winter is the most trying time for
them. "Coddling" is the most hurtful
thing. With good feed flock Of sheep
would do better to lie out of doors in the
snow the whole winter than to be kept in q
close, warm stable. Running at the nose and
lung disease will surely follow too close pen
ming up. Unless the weather is stormy, or
the ewes with lamb are near their time,
they should be turned in q field every
day. They should have fresh water access
to 4 spring is BEST at least once every
day. 1t is mistake to suppose that
sheep will thrive with snow for drink,
and yet many flocks are permitted
thus to quench their thirst every day
through the winter. Clover hay is the best
standard feed, with half pint of oats, rye,
or buckwheat, daily. Sheep do better with q
little change in their feed occasionally. Salt,
Ill WHICH u lOuftu Icirt VI sulphur Is mingled,
should be placed where they can always have
access to it. Corn-stalks may do as a coarse
feed to pick amongst, but as standard feed
it does not seem palatable enough for them.
They will live on it, but do not thrive. Sc
parate the aocks into at least two portions.
The lambs and in-lamb ewes, which may be
weakly, should, at all events, be taken from
the strong, hearty ewes, wethers, and bucks,
and extra care given to them. 1t is still bet
ter to keep the wethers and bucks by them
selves, and thus make three divisions. Guard
against dogs, which, at this season, are more
than ever mischieyous. If dog is kept on
the farm, let him be well acquainted with the
flock and they with him. Above all things,
be patient, quiet, attentive, and exactly regu-
lar in feeding and watering, not overlooking
nor stinting the flesh, but, having found the
right way, perseyere therein, and do not
swerve one way or the other from it. One
can not neglect his sheep one day and make
up by extra care the next.--American Agri-
cuLturiSt.

Report Of the Legislative EEveSti.



COLUMBIA. December 2G.-The report of
the legislative joint investigating committee,
which has been sitting in New York during
the past summer, witt. 3. F. Whittimore as
chairman, has appeared. 1t makes nearly
three hundred printed pages. and gives an
elaborate review Of the financial adninistrsl-
ton of the State finances since the installa-
ton of the present government.
Regarding the State debt, the committee
declare they cannot believe other than the
fearful truths which stare us in the face; that
the bonds and stocks printed by the Amcri-
can Bank Note Company, amounting to $50, :
54O, 900, represent the liabilities Of the State,
for which the faith and credit of the State,
however unlawfully presented, has been
pledged foI payment. The contingent lia-
bility incurred by railroad endorsements
swells the total up to nearly 500, 100000.
In conclusion the report says: "The COM
mittee, in view Of the atrocity of these dis
closures, the work Of the present Admins
tration, or rather 4 ring composed of the
leading officers Of the government of the
State, unhcsitatingy say that the Republican
party, which elevated them to power, must
show its condemnation of such treachery
and knarery by immediate and united effort,
by legislative enactment as well as by every
other deliberate measure, to bring to justice
those who have prostituted the authority
with which they have been clothed, and so
flagrantly and crininally imperilled the trust
TO them contided."

A WAGON FULL OF PEOPLE RUN INTo BY
A LocoMoTIvE-A Young WOMAN KILLED
AND SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.-The steamer
Shamrock, on her way hither from Maysyllle,
KY, being compelled to seek harbor at
Moscow, owing to the heavy ice, yesterday
afternoon transferred her Cincinnati passen-
gers to wagons at that point for conveyance
to the city. One of the wagons, containing
nine persons, most Of whom were women,
was driven by man who had been drinking
deeply, and was in no way fit to be entrusted
with such a cargo. The party reached the
crossing OF the Little Miami railroad, near
Litherbury's ship-yard, in the Twenty fourth
ward, just as the O'Clock train APP
peared in sight, when the drunken fool,
needless of the remonstrances Of his
terrified passengers, attempted to drive
across. The front wheels of the Wa
CON had barely touched the track
when the engine struck it, knocked it all
to pieces, and scattered its occupants ali
along the track. One of the WomeQp . young
lady named Bradley, the daughter of min
lister living at MaysYille, was flung between
two Of the cars and dragged forty or fifty
yards before the. train could be stopped
When 1t did stop she was found horribly

VIRGINIA FISANCEs.-T the State OF Viz
ginia wants to go into the Stock-gambllng
business she now has such an opportunity as
may never again occur. Her legislators,
aided and abetted by portion of the Rich
mond press, have succeeded in putting her
State bonds down to tifty-cight. The Enqut-
rer says that on January 1st, 1872, the State
treasury will contain the snug sum of 81, 74O,-
900. After paying all the expenses Of the
government and the interest on the entire
funded debt (some twenty-seyen millions of
dolars) there will be surplus Of $4,000 in
the Treasury on July /, 1872.
It would not exactly comport with the
traditional honor of the smother Of States
and statesmen" to begin specializing in her
own deprecated securities, but i'll these days
traditional honor is becoming very cheap.
If the Legislature does not mean repudia-
ton, but only depreciation, it would be
fine stroke of business to keep running the
bonds down until they touched say twenty
five cents on the dollar, then appoint finan-
cial agent to buy them up for the benefit OF
the State. In this way the million and
half of dollars which will be in the Treasury
after paying all the government expenses for
the current year might be made to pay OF
nearly five millions Of the debt. Three or
four financial operations like this would put
Virginia entirely out Of debt.-Batt'more
