Strikcs.--Thc usual even tenor of
mining affairs has been twice disturbed in
this immediate region within thu last ten
days by strikes" The first occurred at
Hoffman on Wednesday, originating in
some dissatisfaction on the part Of the men
as to the correctness Of the scales and the
increased loss incurred by the present rapid
means of mining transportation. Upon the
ready assent of the Superintendent to en-
large the cars so rs to carry full two tons
without waste, the men resumed work on
Monday. y thorough trial of the scales
has since resulted, we learn, in the ground
!essness of the impression regarding their
falsity. The difference has been adjusted
creditably to both men and officials,
The second strike occurred with the EN-
ployees of HE New Central Coal Company
at Midlothian Mines, the alleged Causes OF
which appear in our advertising columns.
1t will also be noticed that public meeting
ofminers is called for Monday next at Ocean
Mines, where it is designed to form pro
tectiHe organization, or union" of that
Class Of labor throughout the coal region.
The existing difficulty began OH Wcdnes-
day. 1t is hoped for the benefit of both
operators and men, and the community as
well, that il will speedily terminate. This
can only be attained by fair demands and
just concessions. We believe the men hon
estly thought there was fault, and whatever
the opinion as to the propriety of their mode
Of obtaining correction, if that fault exists it
should be removed. The interests of en-,
ployccs and employees are identical, and
nothing should bar their business fellowship

From Capc Cod.

AS so little is said and really known by everybody of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, we have thought it best to clip from the Berkshire County Eagle, of Pittsfeld, the most excellent account descriptive of the place, from the pen of MT. Axtelle, one of the editors of the Eagle. who recently made a trip there.
 DEAR EAGLE :-Yielding to the impulse so prevalent among almost "all sorts and conditions of men" to Ego somewhere" " about this season of the year, your humble servant,in company with well known and respected member of the topographic fra ternity, started for that place at an early hour last Friday morning. That afternoon at four o'clock found us at the Old Colony depot in Boston with tickets for the very extremity of Cape Cod. We were soon on our way, and were rapidly hurried forward with but few stoppages, until we reached Sandwich, the first town on the Cape. From this point stoppages were much more ire quent, and the names of the little stations along the route, with or without prefixes, east, west, north or south, became some what familiar, if not monotonous. The pe- culiarities of the Cape scenery have been so often described that repetition here is un- necessary Suffice it to say that the land is quite level, with occasional slight elevations

Death of Mrs. Helen Lncy.

The following, clipped from the Dubuque Herald, will be read with interest by the many acquaintances of Mrs. Lacy.
 Mrs. Helen Lacy, wife of B. w. Lacy, Esq, died at the residence of Mrs. D. s. Gun mings, at half. past seven o'clock We'd nesday morning, after lingering illness of several months duration. It is with the saddest and most regretful feelings VIC make this record. and we are not alone in this sentiment. A large circle of friends in the best sockty of our city mouns the loss of valued and accomplished member, and none but those who have passed through the anguish of such tribulation can appreciate the keen attiiction of the hus- band.
 We recollect it was but four brief months ago MT. Lacy, returning from visit to Washington to witness the Presidents in augural, stopped at Lakeville, Connecticut, and there welded Miss Helen Werden, and brought her with him to Dubuque 10 share his joys and sorrows. He, a young man of acknowledged talent, member of one of the best legal firms in the city, and she in her 26th year, lady of fine family con nections, beautiful and accomplished in everything that makes woman truly lovable and sought after, their prospects seemed proplious indeed, and the brightest hopes clustered on every side of their pathway. But a dark cloud rose over their morning of joy. In the latter part of May, about two months after their marriage which oc- cured about the goth of March, Mrs. Lacy was taken ill with disease of the stomach which baff1ed medical skill, her physical powers gradually waned and she has passed to that unseen shore of whose glory no traveller returns to tell. During her illness every possible and delicate attention was bestowed by fond husband and kind friends. A month ago Mrs. Werden, moth CT of the deceased, arrived from Connecti- cut and attended her bedside until the last.

 Our village presents lively appearance about now, there being about fifty boarders stopping around at the different houses in the place; accordingly parties and picnics are the order ot the day......A short time since party of young ladies and gents from ''off" visited the renowned Coltsfoot cave. It is said that one of the old nymphs that dwelt therein was heard to say that she had not seen so much hustle in that cave in three hundred years. This mania for pic nics and the like aroused the natives, and they resolved also to have time of their own, inviting few city friends. Warren Lake being the place chosen for their ''time." they started out taking their "wit- tles' with them, for which they had good appetite after ''paddling their own canoe;" but We are afraid that it had tendency to make some of our young men reckless, as one of them was heard to say that it cost him thirty cents, and he did not care a darn if it had been fifty, he would have paid it......The proprietors of the museum have secured the services of Prof. North with his electrOmeter, for the season. He is also to deliver a course of lectures on electro-magnetism his first experiment the other evening developed some highly bel ligerent propensities among the boys..... The tobacco crop is good some of the farmers have finished topping. .....Apples are scarce and the indications are that the cider canvassers will meet with poor luck another year; it is so plenty this year that some of them get more than they can carry with case. x.Yz

AN OLD LADY's LECTURE ON HAsTY MAR RIAGE.-Laws-a-massy! soul sakes! When was young, twas different then. Why, when folks was agoing to get married, they took time and meditated upon it, and kind CT studied each other out, and reflected and considered; and when they did get married for sartin, and very much married-married from top to toe-they expected to stay married, there warn't no talk of divorces then. They knew beforehand that they was to ''hev and to hold" till grim death, and most usually did. But now young fellow sees pretty gal, and asks her to marry him, just as he'd ask her to go and take walk; and she's all ready-'syes, sir, and thank you, too"-and they go and get married, with no more realizing sense of their responsibility than Cock Robin has when he twitters to Jennie Wren. We'll, pretty soon they go at it-she finds she don't like tobacco smoke. and he don't like wife that can't do anything but friz- zle her hair-and so it goes, from bad to worse, until at last they sue for divorces. And they'll get it, too. For what? Why, for uncomfortability of temper! Now did you ever! ''uncomfortability of temper!" O, Lordy!
 ''lncompatibility of temper. Mrs. Pen dleton," l suggested.
 "Yes, l know 1t; said SO; uncomforta. bility of temper-Them's the words that 2~ l.
 Portability of temper in every family, and alters has been, and alters will be-! Only in the good old times they used to screw it down and keep 1t under; and go you see they managed to get along without none of your divorces."

To test this, lighted match was thrown into it, and in about ive-eights of a second they were looking around for the hay. One of them thought of his vest in which he had small roll of greenbacks, and which he had thrown down some where. He found the place where he had left 1t, and that's all. The swamp now re- sembles burning Vesuvius, as underneath the surface there is peat to the depth of eighteen or twenty feet, and which is on fire, and will probably burn until the swamp is inundated by the fall rains.
