some whow got mixed on dates, and
thought last night was the Fourth of
July. Mr.. Haslet grasped his fife,
Harvey Foreman took firm hold of
the snare drum, and Frank Mabie
staggered under the weight Of the big
bass drum. He also furnished guns
from Einstein's armory. Then the
crowd was formed in line, the band
struck up, Capt Tom. Potter gave the
command "march" and the trouble
commenced. The first halt was made
at the Lawrence House the band Civ
ing Lawrence a first class serenade.
Then the line Of march was taken up
for the Central, where Capt. Flanna-
gan, of Fagundus, was called upon,
and delivered a short speech which
was received with cheers by the army.
Sam. Warner suffered the next inva-
sion, which he received with charac-
teristic philosophy. The line was then
marched to the armory, where Capt.
Flanagan introduced Hon. J. B. Ag-
new, who made few remarks and was
given three cheers, when the Tionesta
Terribles broke ranks and hied away
to their tents. The next difficulty of
this kind will probably take place on
the I'd, Sd or 9th of July.
Some of our citizens have con-
tracted a habit which is "more honored
in the breach than in the observance"
to-wit: They borrow implements,
tools, or whatever else they may want
without asking the owner for his per-
mission, or even telling him they are
going to take it; the consequence is,
that when man goes after his wheel
barrow, or his corn-plow, or his john
boat, where he has left them, he doesn't
find them, and in some instances
spends hours of valuable time hunting
them up. Now if you want to borrow
from your neighbor, ask him for the
article, and bring it back promptly
when you are through with it. We
have heard a good deal Of loud talk
on this subject recently, hence we
speak.
The miners strike is over, aud
both parties are industriously engaged
in counting the cost. This is put at s10,-
OOO,O00,-lost in an attempt to rectify
a difference of opinion by the arbitra.
ry method of strike, that not merely
involved the refusal of certain parties
to work, but to attempt to prevent
Others from work. The outcome is,
the acceptance of work at exactly the
rates that were offered months ago.
Thus all the bad blood, suffering of
families, debt and the privations it
must occasion in the future were pro.
ductive of no results beneficial to the
miners. Could a more cogent reason
than this be offered for some reasona-
BILE method of arbitration?
The centennial celebration of the
battle of Bunker Hill, was observed
in Boston on Thursday last, and as
far as heard from, was the greatest
demonstration of the year. A grand
review, of troops took place on Boston
Common, and it is estimated that there
were twenty thousand troops in line.
After the review the crowd marched
to Charlestown, and the procession
was ten miles long. The exercises at
the monument consisted of an oration
by Gen. Chas. Devens. speech by
Gen. Sherman, and addresses by sew.
eral other distinguished guests. A
general illumination, and a gorgeous
display of fireworks took place in the
evening.
The school directors of Mexican
county, at the meeting in May, on the
occasion of electing a county superin.
tendent, raised the salary of that off.
GER to $4,000 per annum, while all
other counties in the commonwealth,
we believe, made a reduction of from
5000 to $500. The Stale Sup'E has
written to those directdfs to the effect
that if they 90 not at once make a re-
duction Of the salary. the amount will
