PoTrsvILLE, Pa, Feb. 2s.--The situation re-
mains unchanged in the Schuylkill region. The
miners are quiet and orderly. A general feeling
prevails that they will accept the basis adopted
by the Philadelphia meeting, from sheer neces.
sity, especially in this region where the miners
are so badly prepared for the present strike
Stores throughout the region have but q small
stock on hand, and will not sell on credit. The

other carryingicompanies,h has advanced the tolls.

OTTAWA, Feb. 2s.-Mitchell, minister of na-
rne and fisheries, spoke in the senate last night
on the fishery question, reviewing the whole
subject. In the course of his remarks, he said
the headland right was based on the law of ma
tons, and quoted, in support of his position,
the opinion of Daniel Webster. The only ques-
ton the Canadian government proposed TO be
settled was the geographical limits of three
miles from the coast, whether from the head
land to headaud or to follow intentions of the
coast Senator L. de St. Just thought, before
England would run the chances Of war, he
would sacrifice some of our fisheries rights.
Senator Mitchell opposed this idea, and felt as
sured that the representative from Canada on the
commission would never agree TO a resignation
of our rights, without obtaining consent Of par
lament and the people of Canada.

ALBANY, Feb. 2S.-The legislative Joint COM
mittee of investigation into the New Hamburg
disaster, to-day examined several witnesses,
whose evidence tended to prove the bridge to
have been in good condition; that the lower
light was not to be changed except when the
draw was open; that the danger signal could be
given most quickly from the track by lanterns
brakes, ETC., in perfect order when ii left New
York. Talon, the fireman ON theexpress train,
said he pulled as hard as he could on the paten
brake cold but felt no application of the brakes,
though he felt the engine reversed; he also said
he could see the lower light two miles below,
and always looked for it as gIide. VIM. Baird
engineer on the road, testified that Simmons
could have seen the signal on the tower only 100
or 1870 rods distant, if he stayed on his side OF
the engine, and by that time it would have been
impossible to stop the train and avoid the col

Mr.. B. D. ALIENS THIRD CHAMBER Con-
CERT, last evening, was highly enjoyed by a
large and appreciativc audience. With such
artists as Schultze, Fries, Ryan and Allen, we
anticipated an evening of rare enjoyment and
were not disappointed. The opening serenade,
for violin, viola and violoHcellO, by Beethoven,
was brm-lull of most beautiful imagery, quaint
in style, rich in harmony, and exhibiting in an
unusual manner the capacity and beauty of each
instrument. 1t seemed unlike most of Beet
hoveG's compositions. Miss Ingraham, the
vocalist Of the evening, placed herself at once in
sympathy with her listeners in her nice dis
elimination and correct taste in rendering
Cherubini's beautiful Ave Maria. The clarinet
obligato, by MIR. Ryan, added much beauty to
the Interpretation. Mr.. B. d. Allen next favor
ed us with selections from Schaeffcr, fully sus-
tanning his well-earned reputation, as one of the
best pianists among us. MIR. A. again appeared
as composer, in two songs, "The Chds
Garden and "The Summers CALL" which were
very much admired. They belong to a series
of six, all of which will rank with the best COM
positions of Schumann and kindred writers, for
genuine artistic merit. Miss Ingraham
sang them with great truthfulness of ex-
preston and purity of information. Next in the
programme was a sonata for pianoforte and vio-
loncello by MendelSsohn, which for beauty of
conception and originality of ideas was fully
equal to any that preceded it. Miss Ingraham
next appeared in cavatina from Semiramide,
"BeIRaggio," by Rossin. This was her crown.

are glad to chronicle the success of our young
and talented soprano. But the most thoroughly
enjoyable piece of the evening was the trio for
pianoforte, clarinet and viola by Mozart. It
was suitable ending for one of the best cou-
certs OF the season, exhibiting, in a remarkable
degree, the wonderful genius of the composer
Mr.. Allen and his able assistants are entitled to
the warmest thanks of the lovers of Classical
music, for the faithfulness of their efforts. We
look forward with pleasure, and regret, to the
closing concert of the series; with pleasure for
the riches in store for us, but with regret that it
will be the last

A REMARKABLE SroRY.-A from

his adventures among the Indians.
This man by name Pelly Bigford, ~as
notorious for his long but amusing
yarns, and was sitting amongst a
crowd around the camp fire. Pelly
was holding forth in this. wise: You
see, boys, there was six of the yaller

calmly drew out his tobacco, and de-
