General HammOnd'S Secret Book refer
red TO in the dispatches from the Indian
country, Is nothing more or less than memo
fanda OF Inspector HammOnd'S discoveries
made as the agent of the Indian bureau. All
the exposures made by this energetic officer
are the result of plan of operations agreed
upon between Secretary SchurZ, Commission
er Hayt and General Hammond. Tine dsc1v-
cry OF the frauds is largely due TO the foresight
Of Secretary Schurz, the caution of Commits
sioner Hayt, and the energy of General III I'm
mond. As singular as it may appear, many
Journals throughout the country look upon
these exposures, made by the present manage
ment of the Indian bureau, as an argument in
favor of the transfer to the War departm emit,
Wien the very fact of the wholesale rob-
berries being thus exposed is strong argu.
ment in favor OF continuance of the present
management. When the whole system is
puTged and the corrupt agents removed, then,
and not until then, may we hope for an hon
est and satisfactory administration of Indian
affairs DR.. Livingstone, whose swindling op-
erations Inspector Hammond has exposed
was appointed before this administration
came into power, and for his appointment the
present Secretary is in no wa y responsible.

The great case Of Beer vs.. Ice W ter is still
In progress in Cincinnati, but the principal
agitation is now on the connected subject of
cheap beer. One obstacle to the arrival at a
proper conc usiOn in regard to the latter sub
sect IS the fcke, deceptive character Of beer.
1t appears from the researches of a reliable
newspaper reporter of that city that from full
kegs OF the same size, in some cases only fifty
SchOOnerS can be drawn, while in others as
many as a hundred may be obtained. These
Gu iOus results are, OF course, partly due to
the varying capacities OF those who draw in
the different cases, but the margin is so great
that it IS hard TO refrain from believing that
the beer is in some way responsible A result
of the reduction of Cincinnati beer to three
cents glass is the fact of general interest,
and beer-cOnsumeTs all over the country are
jnquiring why they canno. imbibe at the same
rice.

Goal Mine Falling.

During the last few days the west side
workings of the Indian Ridge mine, one of
tie leading coleries in Shenandoah, has
been falling in. The process known to
miners as "robbing pillars had been going
on for some time past in the mine, and the
supports Of the roof were nearly all taken out.
a number of large openings have been made
in the surficc within the borough limits in
close proximity 10 ltumber of houses.
Considerable fear is entertained by people
under whose dwellings the workings extend;
and fupiber of them have vacated their
houses. One of the slips is within twenty
yards of the maiii brabch ofthe Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, and the road is liable to go
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, and besides throwing num-
Der of men out of employment the company.
will lose much valuable coal as the result Of
weakening the roof supports.

Mr.. EDIToR.-The notice ih your last Is
sue Of a fair and festival, for tile benefit Of

we trust may show enough hinterest--espccial-

its success is darling Wish to molly far from
the town of its birth We are glad to see
that the fair and festival Is to be held joint
ly for the benefit of each Equalization. That
is right. 1t shows a spirit Of harmony which
in itself is commendable, and deserving Of
the patronage, and liberal aid Of all citizens.
The Hook and Ladder Co., VIC look upon as
firmly established, while the Band is s!rug-
Cling for foothold. Though merely in its
infancy, we accord it the palm of leading
among the many bands Of the vicinity, and
the people should be proud Of it; 50 l'roud
that they might be induced to contribute ol
their means largely, and substantially, to-
wards placing il far beyond any pecuniary
embarrassment, or the possibility of dis-or-
ganization for want of funds. No music
