Every now and then the types make
an editor say things which cause his
hair to stand on end. A Kentucky pa
per recently undertook to compliment
a gentleman of its acquaintance by
applying to him the tender epithets.
"big-hearted, valiant soul" The next
morning, when the editor opened his
paper at the breakfast table, he found
his friend spoken of as "red-hcaded,
malignant mule" 1t is alleged that
the earnest manner in which the edi-
tor demonstrated with his composition
for his carelessness prevented the lat

SANTA FE, n. H., Dee. 3D. Reliable
reports have just been received here that
the trouble in Lincoln county, i'm this Ter
ritory, between Americans and MeXicans,
is daily growing more serious. The last
report says that, on the 10th inst, six or
seven moro persons had been killed. 1t
seems that the friends of the Americans
previously killed went to Lincoln Plaza
last Saturday, where dance was in pro-
gress, and trouble arose between the Amer
leans and MeXicans, which fiually culmi-
mated as stated above. Some of the reports
say that eight men and one woman were
killed, while Others give the number as
six men and one woman. Intense excite
ment prevail. and II j. feared that more
bloodshed will follow

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. although no
strike has occurred here by the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad employees as get, the trans
portation of freight west is greatly impe-
ded by the blockade of the roads in the
Western States, owing to the strike. Trains
of empty ears are leaving West Philadel-
phia for points beyond Pittsburgh, but no
loaded cars are leaving, and the train men
are now only working on half time. Pas
senger trains are leaving regularly, as are
also the usual freight trains for Pittsburgh
and intermediate points.
