The stock of lumber on hand at the
beginning of 1871, in the yards of the
different manufacturers, compared with
that of January, 1870, is as follows:
Boards, Il. Lath. Pickets.
January, ISL. l22, ,505,6q 20, 900 900 $500 900
January, 1870. l3i,s6l,l57 27,oeO,Ooo i,COo,ooo
Although the stock on hand is not
as large by over l2,0O0,000 as it was
in January, 1870, the manufacturers
expect to do heavy business in the
coming season. They are operating
largely in the woods cutting logs.
The Boom company at this place
expect as large an influx Of logs as
they had last season. This great
boom, when filled with logs, is a curl
osity, and to show the extent Of their
business in Grating OUT It may be
incidentally remarked that the com.
pany cxpend $4,000 annually for
robes alone.

An Irishman took a contract 20 dig

about twenty Eve feet down, he came
one morning and found il caved in
filed nearly TO the top. Pat looked
cautiously around and saw that no
person was near, then took off his hat
and coat, hung them on n windlass,
crawlcd into some bushes and waited
events IN short time the citizens
discovered that the well had caved in,
and seeing Pats hat and coat on the
windlass they supposed he was a, the
bottom of the excavation. Only a few
hours of brisk digging cleared the
loose earth from the well, and just as
the eager citizens had reached the
bottom, and wondering where the
body was, Pat came out Of the bush

for relieving him Of a sorry job. Some

THE BOOM REPORT.
There is an immense boom in the
river at this place for the purpose OF
securing the logs which are floatcd
down from the mountains during the
spring freshcts. According TO the
hooks Of tho hoa-, se--r--s =. : &c : ,aas
logs were caught during 1870, and
RATED out for the different manuiac-
turing firms. According to their
scale of measurement, these logs
cqualled 2l6,544,5l6 feet board meas
ure In addition to these logs, 33,4Sl
wero hoated down the canal from
Lock Haven, twenty.sevon miles west
of this, and cut up into lumber by the
different manufacturers to whom they
belonged.
COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.
Ny report of shipments for 1869
only embraces nine months of that
year, commencing with April LIST and
ending with December 3lst, inclusive,
and was as follows:

BY comparing the railroad ship
ments for nine months of 1870, with
the same period in 1869, an excess oI
43, 3,1l3,75s feet is found in favor o.
1870.
The shipments by canal in 1876
show an increase of S29, ,324 feet oveI
those of 1869. In addition to this
2l,02l logs cleared the Collectors
office in this city for mills below
which. on being reduced TO feet
should be added to the above.
The aggregate shipments for thu
full year of 1869, probably did no
reach zoe, 900, 600 feet, so that thcr,
was an increase of over $4,000, 600 il
1870. The operations of the pas
year were the heaviest ever expert
encod in the lumber trado of Williams
port, and show il to be the great en-
porium for tho manufacture of thi
staple commodity in Northern Penn

THE ESCAPE OF PRISONERS IN NEVADA
A desperate break was made by the convcts
in the State Prison at Carson city, Nevada,
on the evening of Sept. 18th. All the prison
ers. about Twenty-Five in number, were in the
cellruom ut about six o'clock in the evening,
when volney E. Rollins, one of the Deputy
Wardens, went in to lock them up in their res
pective cells as usual. Upon entering the
room one of the prisoners struck him on the
head with bottle, and at the same time anoth-
err prisoner struck him over the left eye with
a slupgshot, knocking him senseless to the floor
They then cut hole through the wall into a
room occupied BY the family of Lieut. Gov
ernor Denver, and having supplied themselves
with slungshots and knives, they rushed into
the room where they were met by Denver.
who Immediately commenced firing upon them
with q revolver, hitting the leader Of the
break, Frank Clifford, in the stomach, but ne
was overpowered, knocked down with sling
shots, and shot in the hip. Bob Dednau, q
convict, in for life, who was used as trusty,
seized chair and fought like tiger. knock
ing several Of the escaped convicts down the
stairs, but be also vas at length oyerpowered
and lett for dead. The prisoners then seized
the prison arms, and the alarm having been
given, a general fight took place between them
and the guards, the latter being reinforced by
several citizens, among whom was Matt. Pix
ley, of the Warm Springs Hotel, who was shot
through the head and instantly killed. Three
of the guards were wounded, and having fought
their way out, the escaped prisoners took to
the mountains, twenty-five Of them marching
off ip a body. One prisoner was mortally
wounded and eight or ten others received
wounds of more or less serious character.
A squad of citizens having procured arms
started in pursuit, and the militia called into
service, but there appeared little probability of
the escaped parties being recaptured. Lieut.
Governor Denver's wounds are serious but not
considered fatal; and one or two of the guards
will probably each lose leg.
