This time It was fearfutty -tuearnest, w

named Ambrose Millano, was shot through
tue head and almost instantly killed The
fire grew better, no effort being made for o
cessation of hostilities, as both parties we're
bitterly excited. The Italians had but sew.

opposition were rapidly augmentipg.; Dn,

suRsousDED-AFLAe OF TRUCE. D2Z
} About one; hundred men were thus sent
over, and they succeeded in outffankiDg the
Italians, who had no suspicion OF what was
going on below them, being too much en-
gagged at the front. The flanking force land
ed safely, and before the Italians were aware
of ii they were surrounded on all sides, with
very little chance Of escape. They, however,
fought on until three more OF their comrades
fell fatally wounded, shot through the back
and bowels with Mine bullets. Three
others were rendered helpless by wounds in,
the knees, legs, and thighs. a14l, q
Guscettl, the leader Of the Italians, with
his nephew and wife, now came out with
white towel hung on stick as alag OF truce.
uostilities ceased soon after, and then Gus
cetti appeared aud spoke to the delegates
from the other side, who demanded an I'M
mediate and unconditional surrender, inclu.
ding arms. Guscetti refused to surrender
the arms to any body outside Of the regular
State militia, and he stated that as his men
hid no more ammunition than their guns
were loaded with he would not part with
the only protection they possessed in case OF
an emergency. He; would bold himself
responsible that no more firing would be
done. His men, were surrounded, with very
little chance Of escape, and 1t was not likely
they would make any attempt to fight II un-
molested. .,.~
after this parley skirmisming began again
from the other side of the river, which was
not responded to by the Italians. The towel,
rs flag of truce, had been fastened to a
pole and stuck into the ground, but did not
seem to meet with respect. The Italians
now boosted sheet on top Of the house,
which caused the firing entirely to cease,
when fresh negotiations fol. permanent peace
ensued. This time it proved successful, and
no more firing was done. '.,.

MINERS IN DEADLY STRIFE. ~
Upwardsaof two months ago there was q
strike among the laborers at Armstrong;
mines. at Buena Vista, Allegheny county,
Pa. The proprietor at once replaced the
strikers, to the number Of one hundred and
seventy.five, by Italian laborers who were
brought from New York and Philadelphia.

Italians with pistols and mhskets for self.

village. Suddenly heavy Yolley of mus.
kerry was discharged by the invaders, and
the Buena Vista folk became alarmed. Wo-
men and children Mere running through the
streets fearfuly excited, seeking safety in
flight. The Italians came on hootipg and
yelling. A force Of citizens was rallied, and
made an onslaught on the foreigners. Five
had armed themselves with Spencer repeat
Ing rifles, and by these the Italians were
driven back to the river. Several of them
jumped into the water in state of complete

the inhabitants of Grasshopper Falls.
The crusaders have been at work in
that rural village for some weeks past,
but it was not until yesterday that
their labors eliminated with the school
meeting. 1t has been a question of
doubt for some time there as to wheth-
er the present principal would remain
in his position because he INDUCES in
a glass of beer now nd;then. All 9TH
er questions merged into this, and la
dies as well as gentlemen moved out to
the number of 150 to lend their innu-
ence in the election. The district had
been thoroughly canvassed, and near
ly every voter was in the school house.
Words were at a discount and loud
speeches were heard from all parts of
the house, until at length some of those
high spirited gentlemen who make
things lively upon all occasions could
restrain themselves no longer. There
was presented j scene that would do
honor to first class prize ring. Not
withstanding the fact that the gentler
sex had honored the meeting with
their presence, some ten or a dozen of
the champions OF the place becoming
insensible to ali those softer influences,
commenced sparring with one another
in the most approved manner. 1t was
not without difficulty that a general
fight was suppressed. Repeated blows
were interchanged, but we cannot
learn that any material damage other
than a black eye or sore nose, has been
done. Highsounding epithets were ap-
piled by one opposing faction to anoth-
er, greatly to the discredit of tt ose men
in high positions who used them.
The crusaders succeeded so far as
breaking up the school is concerned,
they carrying vote to levy only one
mill on the dollar by q special tax.
The Ladies faced the music like mar
tyrs, and if they continue to stand as
firm in the future they will be fully
competent to exercise all the duties
that devolye upon franchised class.
