WHAT THE CENTENNIAL SHOW IS
WoRTH.-The Philadelphia "Times, in
an elaborate statistical article, puts
down the worth of the centennialshow
as follows; Buildings $5,949 900, cons
tents $97, ,342, $50; total $1O4, 500, $50. A
large proportion of the exhibits are ar
ticles which, while having little or no
intrinsic value, could not be purchas~
ed probably for all that the rest of the
exhibition is worth, they are being
regarded as invaluable for their anti
quity, the remembrances which they
recall, or the rare occurrence of their
kind. Such exhibits the above figures
do not take into account.

Shot and Killed for Stealing Peaches

WIIKEsBARRE, Pa. Aug. 11.-A
man named Hogan living at Pleasant
Valley, this county, in company with
a party of friends, on return from a
wake at midnight, Thursday, stopped
at the orchard of Mr.. Williams, of that
place, and Hogan proposed to get some
peaches. He went in and began help
ing himself. Williams heard them
making noise, perceived the intru-
ders, procured his rifle at once and
shot at Hogan, the ball taking effect
in the right eye, and coming out of
the back part of his head. He lived
twenty minutes when death ensued.
Hogan's friends talked of lynching
Williams, and the constable called up
on the citizens for protection. He
was rescued from the crowd that had
gathered. and was under the charge
of the constable until yesterday, when
he was brought to this city and lodged

Democratic Retremchnent.

Hon. Samuel J. Randall yesterday
made an able speech in theHouse of Re-
representatives., which concluded as fol-
lows:-"Early in the session he stated it
as his belief that the expenditures
would be reduced between thirty and
forty millions. This statement of his
had then been regarded as an exag-
geration. but events had demonstrated
It's correctness. He regretted to say
that in the stouggle with the Senate
the House mad been compelled to yield
to the extent of ten and half millions.
He hoped and believed that in another
year the Senate would concur with the
House in that regard, and he asserted
that with a Chief Magistrate acting in
harmony with the purpose Of the pre-
sent House, o further reduction could
readily be made of ten million dollars.
These facts and figures spoke for
themselves and needed no elaboration,
On the result which they demonstrated
the majority rested its claim of having
earnestly and faithfully discharged its
duty TO the people. 1t had not reduced
expenditures as much as it had expec-
ted, but the failure to do was not its
fault. He believed that the real natur-
al, safe and permanent way to the re-
sumption otspecie payment was in the
reduction of government expenditures.
Human foresight, however, could not
fix the exact Eour of day when it
should take place. But the truth was
self-evident, if twenty or thirty mil.
lions year was saved, not only would
means for speedy resumption be
provided, but that confidence would
be established which must inevitably
precede the desired result"

SAINTS,

| see them with their heavenward eyes,
Men who in Christ alb lde:
Tho long tram ceases not to rise
Through times unceasing tide,
And grave accro.s each pathway lies
But the path sweeps not aside.
Like chorus no discOrds mar,
Sober and clear and grand,
Like scroll up reaching to star,
Caught by an angels hand.
Like wind beginning from afar
And covering all the land,
They, sound, they pass, each man beholds
The Masters risen face.
Each arm some near beloved enfolds,
Yet keeps its forward place,
The weak one leans the strong uph olds
But all are in the race.
Up. through the darkness and the pain,
Up through the joy and light
Earth's myriad handj are raised IN vain
To battle or invite.
Life shows them nothing to detain
Death, nothing to Albright.
By all thiaes fair their course is graced
BY all things bitter. healed;
Gathering like servants sent in haste
Who being challenged, yield
And through the garden on the waste,
Guide to Gods happy field.
To them each human loss is gain,
" ithdrawn or sacrificed,
Nothing but sin was all in vain,
And that which long enticed.
Falls from each soul and leaves no stain
At the first smile Of Christ.
The flock Of God goes up and on
And If, as sin departs
Some faces from the throng are gone
Leaving some brok en- hearts
God full of pity for his own,
Dries every tear that starts.
The flock Of God Is strong and swift
And it devorrs the way
Longing to see the curtain lift
From the everlasting day;
How lignt the toll, how vast the gift
How weary the delay
Lord gather us beneath their feet
As thy good will shall be-
The service of thy saints is sweet
When they are serving thee;
Souls for inheritance unmeet
May serve eternally.

NEW YORK, May pa terrific
thunder storm ragged last evening at
various places in the Middle and
Western States. This storm was
light, though the lightning was vivid
and continuous. The Baptist church
at Lexington Avenue and 18th street
was struck by the lightning but only
slightly damaged. Oue man was in
jured by plaster falling from the
roof. At Lancaster, Penn, the storm
was tremendous. Hail stones an
inch and half in diameter fell and
much damage was done to fruit and
grain. A dispatch from Morristown,
New Jersey, says terrific storm
prevailed the,e from tive to six in tue
evening, during which hail stones as
large as a hens egg fell in abund-
anee, totally destroying the glass in
the greenhouses in the vicinity, and
damaging church, store and house
windows. Many gardens are ruined,
and the fruit is utterly destroyed,

RUMoRs OF WAR.-The public, or
that portion of it who dwell in the
region of the Woodville mine, have
for several days past been expecting
startling news. This region, as will
be recalled to mind, has been the
scene OF more than one fatal en-
counter over disputed mining
ground. Something less than two
years ago five men yielded up their
lives at the old Waller defeat shaft
OF the Justice mine while under
taking the foolhardy job of invading
and capturing the hosting works.
Since that bloody event peace has
reigned in the vicinity. Lately,
however, bitter strife has arisen
between the Woodville and Rough
& Ready companies, whose ground
seems to cover the same ledge.
Yesterday it was reported that an
exchange Of level was imminent
between the hostile parties. 1t
was also rnmored that the Wood
vile company had attempted to
smoke out the Rough Il Ready
gang, and that the Inter in return
had turned stream of water down
their shaft, to drown out their op-
ponents, who are below them. 1t was
also stated that u fire had been kin
died in the timbers of the Rough 81
Ready shaft, but the report was
founded on nothing There is evil
IDENTIFY serious difficulty between
the two companies, which may
amount to something sensational or
may not. 1t appears that the Rough
& Ready men are sinking shaft on
the inclination of the Woodville
ledge, at point from which they
will reach the ledge sooner than the
Woodville men possibly can. Who
ever finds the ledge first of course has
possession of it, and possession in law
is one point in favor of ownership,
and two or three points sometimes in
mining affairs. The Woodville shaft
new works. is deeper than the shaft
of the Rough & Ready, although
further from the vein, owing to its
dip. 1t is Il common practice among
miners in cases OF this kind for those
deepest down to drift under the
others shaft, put in a firm bulkhead
OF solid timberS, bolted together,
directly under them, and then let
them rip. When the hulkhead is
reached further progress is stopped,
because the timbers, which present
their ends to the miners, cannot be
blasted OF picked or chopped. If
a drift is run in and new shaft
started, the opposing miners know it
at once, and proceed to put in anoth
er bulkhead perpendicularly under
the new shaft, and and So on. Thus
the deepest shaft may be carried
down while the shallowest meets
With successive barriers, and makes
little or no progress. This modus
oporandi is sad 10 have been adopted

DESPERATION IN VIRGINIA. -
Thieves are again abroad in Nir-
ginia. The usual spring influx is
beginning to be noticed, and poor
f. lows who come over from Califor-
MIA or from the East find themselves
often without cent on the Comstock
and with no chance to work. In
this situation many take to the high
way in utter despair, while Others are
content with less noble calling and
prowl the streets at night, seeking
whom they may rob. This state Of
affairs should be warning to those
abroad who contemplate coming to
this region. There are now more
men here than can get work by sew
eral thousand. II more come it will
make the matter so much the worse.
OF course many who commit depre-
dations are professionals, who have
learned their trade elsewhere. But
many are driven To desperate acts by
the force of circumstances

vada vs. Il. Mungasant This case
was tried before Justice Gould and
a jury yesterday afternoon. The
defendant was complained of for
pcdlling in Lyon county without a
license. 1t appeared from the evil
dence that he only arrived on the
18th inst. in this State from Califor-
MIA, and on his arrival in Storey
Co. procured the necessary license to
peddle. Appearing for the first
time in Silver City on yesterday
morning, he unluckily offered for
sale and sold four collar-buttons to
Mr.. Eli. 1t appearing to the jury
that no criminal intent accompanied
the act of selling, they acquitted
him. G.. w. Keith. Esq, prose
cuted and John Cronin defended.
