nounces the killing of MeDermott, one Of
the bosses there, last night. Coffin hand
/ bills were served on men obtaining coal for
the boilers at Eckley eolliery. The whole
region is in a state of great excitement,
and the feeling is general that property and
| lives are at the mercy of these reckless men.
This is the third day that demonstrations
have been made. Sheriff Kirkendall has
declined to appear unless an actual riot
takes place, and then he proposes to come
| from Wilkesbarre, twenty-four miles away,
to quell it. The deputy sheriff now here
declines to act without instructions. The
raiders are called Landenburn's regiment
from the fact that Landenburn has been
selling condemned government muskets.
HAzELToN, Pa, March 81. Another
crowd of armed men have started from
Ebervale for Upper Lehigh to stop the men
employed by the Jersey Central Railroad
from loading coal at that place. A special
train has left here with a detachment of
police, armed and equipped, to resist any
attempt at violence by the mob. The re-
suit of this raiding is awaited with great
anxiety. Our local police is too small to
contend with the exasperated miners, and
call on the government for military is ex-
pected.

weather is beginning to affect the smaller
rivers in this section. The ice in the Lack.
awaxan has started, and several gorges
have formed, one of which, at the mouth OF
the river, has damned back the water foI
three-quarters of mile, and is from ten to
twenty feet high, and fears are entertained
for the safety of the wire suspension acque-
duct of the Delaware and Hudson Canal.
! The ice is within few feet of it. Another
gorge has formed below Rowland's, q
short distance up the river, and it is thought
the wagon bridge at that place will be car
ried away and still other damage may be
. looked for. The ice in the Neversink went
out this afternoon. An immense dam wa:
J formed at its mouth during the recent food,
and il was apprehended that the ice at Car
penter's Point would be flooded, but the ice
i passed out without doing any harm. The
Delaware is still rising. Indications of &
heavy storm prevail, and the great gorge
, that commences at Degan, sixteen miles be
} low here, must soon move. tf
