sion merchants, New York city, have failed.
1t is stated the liabilities of the concern ag-
gregate $3.50, 600; assets will probably foot up
a similar amount. The firm have given up
everything for the benefit of the creditors.

THE worst feature of the present situa-
ton in Pennsylvania is the threatening at
titude of the miners at Scranton. There is
panic of dread in that city and vicinity.
There are 10000 idle men, with blast
furnaces chilled, rolling-mills idle, railroads
stopped, and mines flooding fast, so that,
should the present idleness prevail a week,
it would take six months to place the mines
and rolling-lnills in working order once
more In no other part of the United States
has the strike worked such disaster, and
nowhere else are the consequences so
threatening.

is every year becoming more serious,
not only in this country but in Europe.

records of the habits and conditions
most favorable to the development and
increase of certain well-known insects
that devastate our crops, with a view to

street church at Boston and the indus
trial school have united in giving the
right sort of instruction to boys. Prac-
tical workmen are employed, benches
and tools provided, and two evenings a

laid out, and, as strict attention is re-
CURED and the instruction is free, the re-
suits have thus far been very satisfactory.

ting into scrape with two grizzly bears
the day before yesterday. One of the
Englishmen and myself saw them at a
distance and headed them off with our
ponies. When we came up they were ly-
ing asleep under the shade of scrubby
pine. The ponies were SO frightened that
had to hold to them while he shot. One
fell dead, but the other made for us. My
horse wheeled, fired and struck him just
as he was coming up to my friend. The
shot stopped him, but he recovered soon
and we had lively time rushing around
through the brush for little while. He
eventually hid and we lost him, but the
other ones skin is lying in camp, and |
don't think the Englishman will want to
see any more bear very soon."

dispatches is another instance added to
the long list of papers that are forced
to abandon their publication. There
are two leading causes for this, either
of which is potent enough, One is
the high rate at which the dispatches
are furnished, and the other is the lack
OF adequate patronage. We sympa.
