should be done well, or not at all.
The people Of this county favor
compulsory education, and are tired

WILLING TO WORK FOR THE BASIS OF 1873.
WILKEsBARRE. Pa, Jan. 2i.-A mass
meeting of miners was held here to day. and
the work Organization continued. Just be-
fore the meeting adjourned, miner of the
Wilkesbarre coal and iron company said that
great dissffscs ion existed among the miners
of that company who were without work,
caused by the employment of 500 men to
fight the fire in the Empire mine and the
non payment by the company, as vet for
December He said that there was an agree
ment between the miners of that com Danv
that IL the wages due for the months work
were not paid uetween the 18th aud 20sh of
the following month, they should not work
until they were paid He then made motion
that demand be made upon Parrish
for payment between this and SATURDAY.
the 24.h inst. which was unanimously car
ried The failure of the company to paw bv
that time will be followed either bv a re-
fusal OF the men who are fighting the fire to
continue, or else an open rupture between
them and meo who are idle. 1t il now
pretty gsneI ally conceded that the miners
will not stand out for the advance some
days ago demanded, and also that they will
not submit to any reduction, but are wiling
to resume work at the basis of 1873 when
the companies are ready. 1t was asserted
to-day that the miners at the Newport works
were told yesterday that they might go to
work at once at last years basis, and that
they accept the terms and will begin to-
morrow. About three hundred men are
employed there.

GREAT THAW AND RAIN.
THE DAMAGE AT BUFFALO.

ICE MASSES BREAK DOWN BRIDGE AND
CARRY SHIPPING DOWN THE sTRRAn, AND
DO GREAT DAMAGE TO ELEVATORS AND
BRIDGEs-GREAT DANGER AND INTENSE
EXCITEMENT.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 22-The soft weather
and high water caused the ice In Buffalo
river to move about eleven this morning,
pillng it up In such force against the pontoon
bridge over Ohio street as to carry sway that
structure, and, in its course, sweeping ten
first class vessels down the stream, piling
them in one mass against the Michigan
street bridge. The bowsprits OF the vessels,
in their rapid course. carried away the lower
part of Plypton's elevator, and inflicted se-
rious damage to the City and Niagara eIevs-
tors, and completely demolished the sheds
of the New York Central railroad company.
The loss is estimated at a million dollars.
The Michigan street bridge holds the sccu-
mulated mass, but should 1t give way there
is no calculating the damage to vessels and
below. The water is now over
flowing the banks and running into the lake
through Hamburg canal. The greatest ex-
element prevails.

EQUESTRIAN EXERCISE.

Slowly but surely is gaining ground
among our fair country-~Omen, a
taste for the equestrian exercise that
plants such vivid roses in the cheeks,
and brilliant light inthe eyes of their
English cousins. It. is abundant fresh
air, regular exercise, and prescribed
plain diet in early youth, that creates
the envled "English constitution, :"
and now Dame Fashion dresses the

health and pleasure. The riding habit
may be composed of invisible blue
cloth, Or enti ely black; the last is
the most modi>h perhaps. The body
is cut with short jockey basque,
closed to the throat with one row of
heavy Goth or silk buttons, or else
strapped across cadet fashion. The
sleeves are closely shaped TO the arm,
without any other finish at the wrist
thana neatwhiteline cuff. The SKIRT is
a yard and a htLf long, ana three
yards and half wide. The hat is a

brim. Around the crown is twisted
a vail of grenadine, or a sweeping
ostrich plume. Gloves of chamois

LIGNUM VITE is a well known

weight is IT'S, its specific gravity

worked. and. becomes intensely hard
OH exposure to air. The wood is
cross grained, Ind contains a quanti-
ty of resin. which makes it very du
rable in water. 1t is used In maohii.-
cry, whenever much friction is re
quires. and whenever hardness and
strength are necessary. The fibrour
structure Of the wood is very remark
able, tho tibres crossing each other
very obIlquely; it can hardly be split,
and can only be divided by the saw;
its fracture resembles more that o.
mineral than of ordinary wood.

amount of resin they contain.
