There was a runaway horse in town on
Thursday Of last week, which caused con-

abstain from all intoxicating drink, while
they are driving out young and spirited

"A strike was inaugurated among the
miners and laborers of the No. | colliery of
Charles F. Shoener on Monday morning last,
purporting 10 be against the ticket boys of
that colliery, and, also TO have their pay in
full on the 10Th of every month, except such
date occurred on Sunday, when it should
take place on the day previous. But on
Tuesday morning the real cause ofthe strike
was moro fully understood among all parties,
which caused the miners and laborers of
the No. 2 colliery to turn out also. They
want an advance Of 10 per cent. on all work
in addition TO the above demands.
A very good opportunity is now afford
ed to the idle miners to work out their roa
tax, while it is yet within the thirty days
specified on the Supervisors notice to tax
payers.
There is quite a demand for Cornish
miners in in south eastern Missouri, and
many of our neighbors are talking about 60

Was in NIauch Chunk.

The editor of the Iazleton Daily Bulletin,
was in Mauch Chunk last Monday, and on
Tuesday got off the following well-deserved
compliments to men and matters pertaining
to that borough:
We paid visit Monday to the brewery
of p. & S. Schweibeuz, at East Mauch Chunk
and found one of the neatest and cleanest
little breweries in the State. This firm man
uiactures a superior article of beer which is
made strictly from chops and malt" and no
drugs used, the beer of their make is the
fayorite brand in the saloons of Mauch
Chunk IL is rich, finely favored and
lively beer, which when drank in any rea-
sonable quantities produces no unpleasant
ellec S such as headache or nausousness as
some kinds of beer do. 1t is a splendid ar
ticle and can he founi for sale in Hazleton,
at the saloon of Charles Ahleman.
Business called us TO Mauch Chunk
Monday. We went down in the Y45 train
returning at and we had 81 hours to trans
act our business. 1t strikes us that Mauch
Chunk would be the proper county seat for
us instead of Wilkes Barre, where it requires
a loss of two days to make trip to the coun-
ty seat We belong to Wilkes Barre by no
claim in the world, and our people should
make another move looking toward annex
alton to Carbon county.
The county officers at Mauch Chunk
are a courteous and accommodating set of Off
cials whom it is a pleasure to do business
with. Sorry we can't say as much for all OF
the Luzerne county officials.
The hest fellow in Carbon county is j.
W. Raudenbusn, the sheriff of the county.
He a wholesould generons gentleman, and
as full of fun as any man in the country.
May his shadow never grow less.

were calculated to give new impetus to
Sunday sch IJls in the county and the means
of awakening in the people deeper interest
in Sunday school work therefore,
Resolved, That as members Of the Sunday
school, who are especially interested in that
branch of Christ's Kingdom called "the nur-
sery of the church," we kindly request the
board of control, under whose direction these
meetings were held, to hold meetings of the
same kind in the future; and not only so,
but also Sunday school conventions, insti-
tutes, and so forth, for the better qualifca-
ton of teachers; and
ReSoired, That as pic MICS, as generally
held at the present day, SAVIOR more of a sec
uar than christian spirit, we, therefore,
kindly request the board of control to short
ly appoint day for grand reunion of all
the Sunday schools, connected with the
Evangelical Association in Carbon county.
