A New Railroad.

In reference to the new outlet from the
coal fields to the East which we mentioned
%severcl weeks ago, the Hazleton Sentinel
says:
a new line OF railroad from the centre
of the Luzerue coal fields direct to Boston,
under the charter name of the Lehigh
and Eastern Railroad, is now being
surveyed. Starting from the northern
terminus of the Ilazleton, Danville and
Wilkes Barre Railroad, near Hazleton, it
crosses the Lehigh near White Haven,
crosses the Ponoco Mountain and will
probably strike the Delaware River at
Port Jervis. From thence it is projected
to extend to the Hudson River about
Newburg. connecting with the Boston,
Hartford and Erie road, direct to Boston.
Colonel S. G. Slaymaker, of Lancaster
county, has been appointed engineer, and
has just started a corps of assistants on
the Survey from IIazleton to Port Jervis,
d distance Of about ninety miles.

THE MODOCS.
The CaptiveS Murdered.

SAN FRANCIsCo, June 9.-Despatches
from Boyle's Camp, dated yesterday, re
late the particulars of an atrocious massa.
cree Modoc prisoners. supposed to have
been perpetrated by Oregon volunteers.
On Saturday morning James Fairchild
and about a dozen other men left Fair
child's rancho, on Cottonwood creek, with
seventeen Modoc cap,ives, including wo
men and children, and Shacknasty Jim.
Bogus Charley, Tehee Jack, Pony and
Little John. The Indians were in a
wagon, drawn by four mules. At the
crossing of Lost river the party encounter
ed a body of Oregon volunteers, under
command of Captain Heser. The soldiers
gathered around the wagon aud oues
toned Fairchild, who told them that the
indians were all Hot Creeks except Little
John, and that there were no charges
against them. Fairchild undertood to
push on to Boyle's Camp, and the volun.
teers retired to their camp, near Crawley's
On the road Fairchild noticed two men
ahead, riding to "a rocky point as if to
intercept him. When the team approach
ed the two men one of them presented a
needle gun at Fairchild saying, Get
down you old white headed scoundrel."
"By what authority 7" "said F~airchild."
"Miue," was the reply. Il am going to
kill the Indians and you tou." The leader
caught hold OF the mules and unhitched
them, cutting the harness, Fairchild
clinging to the lines, leaped to the ground
The poor wretchcs implored for mercy
and begged Fairchild to save them. The
warriors were unarmed, and kenw that
resistance was useless. They were the
coolest in the party, although facing
inevitable death, but the women and
children shrieked. groaned aud wcpt
piteously, Fairchild had nothing but u
small pistol. and six inches from his ear
was the muzzle of a needle gun. He says
that tears came to his eyes aud he mingled
his entreaties with those of the Modocs.
In hopes the massacre might be avoided.
He adds, at was a terrible scene-one
[ shall never forget. | shudder when !

voices of those N and children still
ring IN my ears, but the cowardly hounds
were not to be baked. A shot, and
Little John lay dead in the wagon, with
a bullet in his brain. The mules dashed
away with Fairchild, who became
%entangled in the lines. Five more shots
were fired in rapid succession. by which
Tehee Jack, Poney, and Mooch were
killed, and Little Johns squaw was
frishtfully wounded. Away ahead on
the road 10 the direction Of Boyie's Camp,
a cloud of dust was perceived, indicating
the approach of u team.

dolphin Press says, is neither a mounte
bank nor an adveuturer," publishes a
letter in hat newspaper advocating a
second balloon expedition to Europe, to
start from Philadelphia on the same day
as Prof. Wise does from Boston. He
proposes to have it in some way connected
with the centennial, so that the fame OF
the achievement may in It's world wide
reputation add to the fame of the
anniversary of American Independence
The cost OF the necessary materials for
the voyage he estimates at about 81 900,
and if this is raised by subscription the
writer pledges his honor as a gentleman
that he will faithfully carry out the follow
ing programme, viz: TO embark with two
or three companions on a day to be

A Lively Post-ofice Business in Mon.

An amusing experience, which recently
befell a special agent of the Postofice De.
partmeut, illustratesthe ideas which post
masters in the far West cnterian regard
ing the dignity and importance of their
position. One agent commonly called
Mac" while officially visiting various of.
fees in Montana Territory. for the pur
pose of correcting any irregularities of
postmasters, stopped at Iron Rod. Go
ing into the post Office. he found the room
divided into three sections, first a saloon,
next the post Office, and the last a faro
bank. The mail bag was brought in, a
rough looking customer opened it, and
emptied the contents on the floor. The
entire crowd got down on their hands and
knees aud commenced ~overhauling the
letters, among which several were
registered, aud selected such as they wan
ted. After they were through, the re
naming letters were shOvcled into a can,
die box and placed on the bar. The
special agent, thinking the Office needed
a little regulating, asked the bartender
who had received and distributed the
mail, if lie was the postmaster. He an
swered. No" care you the assistant
postmaster p NO" "Where is the
postmaster 2" 'Out mining" "Where is
the assistant postmaster 7" Gone to He'll

planned who he was, and demanded the
keys Of the Office. The bar tender coolly
took the candle box from the bar, put it on
the floor, and gave it a kick. sending it
out of the door, saying: There's your
