GEN Butler announces bis intention OF
running for Governor Of Massachusetts,
nolens roleas. The best thing the people

political aspirations.
The receipts Of slyec bullion al the
Assay Office have increased remarkably
within the past three months, aud the
shipments of GRE TO Europe have been
correspondingly large, The production
Of the mines in Nevada and Colorado has
greatly increased while The newly dis
covered mines Of Utah and Lake SUI
| pelior have been very productive.
4 In noting The cost orthe late coal strike,
an exchange says that $4,000 miners were
/ idle five and half months. Then 10000
railroad employees, drivers, coa-hand-
lers, and others, and iron-workers, were
thrown out Of employ ment for want Of
cheap coal at the furnaces and mills. The
total loss to the working people exceeds
! $4,000, 900.
A striking instance Of the hasty, care
less business habits Of our people is
afforded in the fact that during the month
of June more than 33s 900 letters misdi-
rectcd or otherwise not deliverable were
received at the dead letter office
in Washington. Ofthese l,7oo contained
money, checks, receipts, drafts, or other
, documents value.
