TIE MINING REGIONS OF PENN.
SNINANIA.

Affairs in the mining regions of Penn
mines in the I.ackawana aud Wyoming
regions are many of them not worked at
all and the balance running on partial
time. Eight thousand men, the most ot
them with wives and children, are out OF
work. This. To the miners, means out of
bread. Hungry men are reckless. Riot
ing aud murder are of daily occurrence.
Men are beaten to death AMI muilatcd
afterwards, and in place called Pleasant
Valley. one man was cruciiicd. On the
9th inst. twenty-five Italian miners
on one side and scvcnty-iivc
Americans on the other. had an "cngagc-
mcnt'' IN Wcstmorcland county. Firing
lasted for thrcc-guartcr> ofan hour, when
the Italian, displayed white flag. They
had four men killed and u number SER
iuit,ly wounded. No Americans were
bu,r. Accounts of the affair are mcagre,
but il j. probable that the Italian miners
were willing 10 work for what they could
get rather than -tarvr, aud that the "citi-
gems" We're striking miners.
The New York Hc,uid correspondent
gives gralpic picture of what the near
future will certainly dcvclope in the re-
giou, named in Pennsylvania:
There j. no doubt that thi, entire re-
gion i on the verge of riot unlike amy
that the country has ever seen beforehand
n riot that only the entire country shall
iorc,tall. Though the awful moment ha.
not vet arrived. II will surely come. whcl
u cry of agony. brought about by th'
craving, of hunger. will go up from thi'
region for bread. and, if that cry is mI
answered. 5000 human souls. with thci
-hivcriug wives and children behind thci
backs to urge them on, will seize tn,
knife. the pistol. or the bludgeon, to tin,
that food in defiance of civil law. and a
the sacrifice Of human life. This issue !
inevitable: II must come, this vast com

visit the suburban residence of lead.
ing merchan. few days since. As he
approached the door peals Of musical
laughter from within greeted his ears.
On pulling the bell the door was opened
by a beautiful blonde belle strangely
metamorphized. The lady had a boys
hat on her head, charming black mus
tache adorned her upper lip and a flow
ing beard hung gracefully from her
dimpled chin. The masluerading girl
looked startled and the crimson tide Of
beauty suffused her countenance, but
our commissioner was too polite to
laugh or show that he had noticed the
transformation. He carried on a grave
business conversation with the monde
script, and no doubt prolonged it rather
more than was absolutely neces-
sary. A bevy of young ladies
formed laughing group at the end of
the hall, and our commissioner retired
to the street, where he INDUCED in
laughter by way of echoiDg the hysteri-
cal screams that 6oated from within the
mansion. A fair neighbor was expected
to join the spring revels, and the ring
ing of the bell by the LEDGER man was
taken as the signal for her appearance.

tiers to several leading Republicans in
this city stating that there was vacancy
at West Point, and asking them to select
some young man from the Congressional
district. They selected Judge William

that he had appointed John I. League

know who is Miss Susa S. Vance, the

lady is the daughter of our fellow-citi'

twenty, petite in figure, weighing proba-
bly, one hundred and FIVE pounds. She
possesses a wealth of golden hair, and is
pronounced by connoisseurs TO be
beauty. She has visited Europe, buthas
never, so far as heard from, written a
line for publication before. To those
who are best acquainted with her the
publication of the novel was the greatest
surprise. This is all the information we
can give our inquisitorial exchanges.

taken the matter up, with a view to
placing on the pedestal statue worthy
OF the object originally intended. All
funds received will be religiously kept
