up, The long strike came to an end on
Saturday, and five flint glass factories
which had been idle for nine months. re-
sumed operations to-day. Seven other
factories are also working up to their full
capacity, with enough orders on file to
keep them all going for several months.
This agreeable condition of business af-
fairs prevails throughout Western Penn
sylvania, Eastern Ohio. and the northern
portions of West Virginia, from which
your correspondent has reports up to yes
.erday.
Very few idle persons are now to be
seen on the streets. Every able bodied
man who is willing to work can find some
thing to do at prices which will afford
him decent maintenance At the open
ing of the fall season last year, the ques-
ton uppermost in many minds was, What
shall we do to provide for the poor? Now
the poor, or such of them as are willing
to provide for their own necessities, are
busily engaged at some honorable occupa-
ton, where they earn sufficient money tc
keep themselves and their families. This
is. perhaps, the'most striking evidence ot
the improved condition of business that
could be adduced.
Taken altogether. the outlook for The
coming winter exhibits nothing but en-
couragement for all classes of people-fol
the laboring man no less than the mer
chant and manufacturer.

CATITOEEIA.

SAN Francisco, August 2S.-The ply
sicians still report Kaloch improving. but.
as yet he cannot be considered out of dan
ger. A medical gentleman says more or
less pus has formed, and is still forming
round the bullet, and there is no way of
escape, as the hole from the surface is
already blocked up. 1t is feared if no
outlet is found for it by natural or other
channels, inflammation and blood poison
ing will ensue. At present the most un-
favorable symptoms in the case is feeling
of sickness at the stomach, every evening
about 9 o'clock, Kalloch fears it is pro.
duced By agitation to bis nerves, produced
by the presence of physicians at about
that time, and they have accordingly de.
cided to see him only iu the forenoon. L
is also thought it may result from ovel
nourishment.
