About Ch;cesy.

The pending controversy with reference To
the duties on this article i3aparts an interest
70 the operations in it outside of the trade
itself. Germany is the 1aain source whence
the supply OF chicory is obtained, although
France, Belgium and England also contribute.
Inc German root is grown in Prussia, that of
belgium IN Flanders, that of England in
Leeds, and the French in various provinces.
Ihe German factories for grinding the root
are IN numerous Cities of Prussia, of which
Ma9deburg and Praunschweig are the
largest engaged. The chicory which is sent
to New York which receives almost all that
comes to tho United States-is mostly
German, though also some English; no,e is
received from France. The English chicorv.
winch IS grown, it is stated, from roots sent
over from Belgium, is the best of which wa
have any knowledge, and here in New York
VIII sell at about eight cents gold per pound.
where the German can be obtained at seven
cents 9old. The crop Of English chicory is
small compared with that of Germany. The
yield OF English chicoiy in 1873 was s575
;"ts. AS regards the Prussian crop. it is
has been found difficult 10 gain even an ap-
idea; about ,, 800 900 pounds are
'ent here every year. This is distributed
over the country on contracts, made for the
'htlre year IN many cases. " y bulletin.

MAucg CHUNK, March 80. - Intelligence
reached here at 8 o'clock last night Of :
threatened outbreak of frenzied miners from
several mines. They moved simultaneously
from several points, disarmed the special
police from Philadelphia, at Buck Mountain,
and took their arms with them.
They went to Jindli, where one policeman
was shot and two were beaten. Zach place
they visited they compelled the men to go
WITH them. No damage has been done to
property so far at Hazieton. Father OHara,
Catholic priest, exhorted them 30 go home,
and they are now disbanding. Should the
