WE are very proud to record that we
have Justice in Illinois who has the
nerve to place courting on its proper lev
ell. The case was one where a citizen
prosecuted his daughters lover for eject
ing him (the ei;izen) from his own parlor
on the Sunday evening previous. Said
this righteous Judge:
" 1t pears that this young fellow was
courtin' the plaintiffs gal in plaintiff s
back parlor, and was put out by defond-
ant. Courtin' is a public necessity, and
must not be interrupted. Therefore the
law of Illinois will hold that parent has
no legal right in room where courtin'
is afoot, and so the defendant is discharg-
ed and plaintiff must pay costs"

BORDEN SHAFT, MAY !, 1878.
Many men have been thrown out of
employment by the recent fire, and
the Strike at the johnson Mines has
made their case worse than it other
wise would have been. However the
strikers have now accepted Maj.
SHAW S terms and will resume work
to- day, which will mend matters.
We expect to be ready to hoist coal
in the Shaft about the first of August.
G. W. SNYDER, Of Pottsville, Pa, is
working night and day on the new
machinery. From what | can learn
the new pumping and hoistiug engines
will be much more powerful than the
ones destroyed by fire. The pumping
engine cylinder will be at least 9 by
8 feet.
The hosting engine will be simple
and practical in its construction 1t
will be erected on the west side of the
Shaft, about 80 feet from the pit, and
will consist Of two cylinders, each 20
by As inches. The connecting rods
will be attached to the drums, thus
making cog-wheels unnecessary. The
drums will vary in diameter from four
to eight feet; a wire rope II inches in
diameter will wind off the drums and
over large pulley placed several feet
above the shaft.
The height Of the building over the
shaft will be about 60 feet. The hoist
ing engine foundation is l6a by 2e

will be % by 35 feet. NJ. CIR.
