firmly believe the demand made by railway
employees for the restoration OF the late 10 per

that While they approve the demand as just
and believe in the ability of the companies to
grant the request, they emphatically denounce
every tendency To violation OF law and the

Terrible Corn.

Max Adeier says; We are surprised 10
read in an exchange that the corn Of Mr.
Redman, of Lycoming county, is seven
feet high" We pity Redman. We can
not imagine how he gets his boots on
over such corn, nor can we conceive how
he contrives to walk barefooted 1t is
hardly likely, we should think, that Red
man himself is more than six feet high,
and if that is the case that solitary corn
of his must tower above his head. II
might be a good thing TO tie an umbrella
TO, or he might carry a flower pot on his
foot and have honey-suckle climbing
up the corn AMI poisoning uuder his

face ground. 1t is opened by a four by
six foot shaft driven to a depth of one
hundred and fifty feet. The ore vein
Is six feet in width, and from the bot

with the Indians, and saw but four
warriors while on the route, and those
were at Ind an Creek. The Indians
are, nevertheless. very troublesome
around this vicinity, and there have
been 25 men killed not long since in
this immediate neighborhood; but you
hear nothing of that outside of Dead
wond. The stage lines ran well afford
to pay reporters for keeping silen, on
