ALEX. LEPORT tells us that the late
batch of immigrants is composed of
twenty Swiss who came directly from
Suitz rland to Carson. having been writ
ten for by some of their conntrymen
who had settled previously at FrankfoSn
and at other places in our neighborhood.
They, like those who preceded them
numbering altogether about one hum
dred, are Italian Swiss and speak each
of these langn,ge with equal tinency,
having been brought up on the border
lines of Italy and Switzerland. They
are stont and hardy, but generally I'M
prepossessiug fellows in appearance and
have shipped to these parts with no
higher motive than to chop wood.

The BUSINESS PROsPRCr.-The New York
tribune says; survey of the field of busi ness
throughout several of the northern states shows
a more hopeful picture than was presented two
Gays ago. The great Lawrence, Mass, cotton
mills withstand the financial crisis stoutly.
and the reduction of force and production is
moderate. In Rhode Island and some other
parts of New England, notwithstanding, the
CONSERVATION which the embarrassments of the
Spragues occasioned, there has been no actual
business distress. Everything yet depends,
however, on the disposition to be finally made
OF the affairs of the great house whose troubles
have already brought dismay on the manufac-
tnrers generally. In the nj ahoning Valley, Ohio
there is considerable embarrassment among the
IRON mills, scarcity of currency deranging
business which had outgrown the bankin o
facilities of the region. In New Jersey the
aspect Of affairs is less cheerful than elsewhere
Paterson manufacturers of fabrics aud chem
icah have largely reduced their working force
and the number OF persons thus thrown out of
employment in that locality is estimated as high
as 5000.

How GEORGE COPELAND WAS HANGED.-At
precisely Il O'Clock the sheriff cut the cord that
held the trap door; the rope broke and he fell
with a crash down the stairway, was caught in
a sitting posture, and remained slant and
motionless; not tremor shook his frame: his
cOuntensnce was placid and Indicated no pain
whatever. He seemed in perfect sleep. At
fifteen minutes past twelve be was again drawn
up, making a gutteral sound and struggling
considerably. In four minutes he ceased to
struggle. At the expiration of the fifth minute
a slight tremor struck him and he drew one
brea,h. In fifteen minutes his pulse ceased !,
but his heart still beat feebly.f At thirty min
utes it was doubtful whether there was any
pulsation. At thirty-fve minutes Mr.. Walker
again detected pulsations at the heart At ten
minutes past one life was pronounced extinct.
No blame attaches to the sheriff for the acct
dent TO the rope.-GreeltboroUgh (Gd.) Herald.

k1LLED BY FAILING TRKE.-The Somerset
journal, published in Princess Anne. in that
county. has the following: "On Saturday last.
Mr.. Samuel Beauchamp, son of Mrs. Anne Beau
champ, residing near Kingston, was found de adj
in the woods. The circumstances in the case
are as follows On Saturday morning, about Q
O'Clock, he to k an axe and cart and oxen, and
went into the woods to get a load of wood,
About O'Clock in the afternoon the oxen were
seen coming home with the cart, with a few
snsks OF wool therein. At first this discovery
did not arouse any suspicious as to the welfare
OF Mr.. Beauchamp, his friends thinking that
ne would be along in a short time; but as he did
not arrive at sunset party went to look for
aim, and in short time he was found lying
across tree dead. He was taken home and,
after a thorough examination, three slight
WOUNDS were dlscovered-a cut on the right
ear, brnise on the right shoulder, and a few
scratches on the forehead. He had cut down a
dead oak, which was in close proximity to an
other dead one, and the theory is that when the
tree commenced to fall it took OFF a dead lin b
from the standing tree, which, falling upon
Beauchamp's head. caused conclusion of the
years of age"

THE NEW GOLD MINES IN CoLoRADo-An
extraordinary story comes from Colorado of the
discovery OF a lead where pure gold lies I'm mass
plainly visible TO the eye. This lead or vein,
vas found IN southwestern Colorado in the San
Juan district, about % miles from Del Norte
Inc story is that from the first settlement of the
district frequent discoveries have been made of
gold nuggets and specimens, but no one was
able to trace them TO their original bed until the
18TH OF September, when two men named Pc
teTson and Brandt accidentally struck the lead
being attI acted by the glitter of pure ore di-
rectly under their feet. The discoveries took
measures TO secure their claims, and then tax
ing a few specimens selected at random re-
turned TO Del Norte with the news, which set
the inhabitants of that place wild with excite
ment, and led TO an immediate rush to the ne "
district of per sons anxious TO secure claims
Inc Denver Tribune says some of the specimens
brought TO that city by Peterson and Brandt
assay at the rate of hundreds of thousands of
dollars TO the ton, while others taken at random
from the surface of the vein, and which were
thought by the DISCOVERIES to be of little value,
assayed at the mint as high as $50 200 per ton.
Unless some deception has been practiced in
this matter, Messrs Peterson and Brandt have
discovered what is likely to prove the richest
gold deposit in the world. The first of these
fortunate men Is carpenter who came to this
country from Sweden when he was but fifteen
years OF age; the other is an honest, hard work
ing native of Holstein, who also came to this
country many years ago Both now consider
themselves millionaires.

Editor Star Silver poplar shade trees have
been cut down in some of our improved streets.
AS they afford heavy shade, and are OF quick

their eottony bloom, which Is quite a nuisance;
but why are they bel ng replaced with the branch
sycamore, which as a shade tree in this city has
always been failure, and its thrOst-tickling,
seed bearer is much worse than the pluffy bloom
or the silver poplar. The branch sycamore

tension company and the Della are and II uds04
company. IL seems the latter are compelled, liz
order to get to their engine house, shops ana
yard. to run a few rods over the track and land
of the former. The Harlem Extension company
claim that the Delaware and Hudson company
have been discriminating unjustly on the freight
of their road, which has been transferred TO the
latter, and they could get no redress. This and
other grievances made them give notice to the
Delaware and Hudson company that they could
not pass to and from their engine house and
yard any longer over their track. This notice
was followed by the blockade Of the track by a
train Of cars.
