Of the late John Cotton Smith of Sharon, Conn.,, the Hartford correspondent of the Springfield Republican says:
 "A thorough believer in sblood' and very proud and very conscious that his namesake grandfather had been Governor of Connect- cut, Mir. Smith tried to live on the reputation and fortune of his grandfather both of which diminished as his own years advanced, and he was equally 10th to admit their decrease and hs hs pTesen aH He xdsSspfsa fss the young of Mark Twain and know wnothing-positively, by G. sir. of Addison, Steele or sterne' He once asked me if 1t was true as he had been credibly informed that the Griswolds still moved in good social circles in New London county despite the fact that one branch of the family went into trade in 1878 and had never quilted it. He looked like character out of play of the days of Queen Anne, with his tall and commanding figure, bnshy gray hair and beard and heavy gold chain around his neck"

local rates, and that, therefore, in order to protect it's citizens, the State Government would be compelled to interfere. and to exer- else power over the railroads chartered by it.
 He said that one of the provisions of bill that he had drafted for the committees accep- tance or rejection provides that the railroads shall publish all thelr rates, post them at each station, and that they shall not either raise or lower them, without previously giving a months notice. He would alsorecommend the abolition of the scandalous system of proxies by which persons having no personal interest con- trolled railroad elections.
 We have dwelt the longer on this able statement of the case against the railroads be- cause it is, in most respects, like which Mir. Goodwin, of East Hartford, has SO long tried to bring before the people of Con- .necticut. It is the same which was so strong ly urged in the House, last year, by Mr. Col yer of Darien, and Judged Catlin, of Harwin. ton. We notice that MT. Colyer is again in the House, and we hope that the question will once more be urged upon a reluctant Senate made up, for the most part, of the special friends of monopoly.
 Jay Gould is an argument for classical edu- cation, it appears. This is what New York letter says of him:
 At night when Jay Gould dismisses his oper- ators from the telegraph offices in his own house in Fifth avenue and enters up in little book the telegraphic reports of the receipts of the various railroads which he owns. he does not go to a club to carouse, to banquet to steam up with champagne, or to theater he retiresto the recesses of peaceful library, and with his young sons about him reads the Latin classics.
 We hope no distrust of college-bred men will be around in the public mind by the fore going fact. If Latin were a mad dog few of them would have hydrophobia. Nor do we re- collect anything in the classics which seems to tend directly or indirectly towards stock gambling. Probably Gould's business ways are as little attributable to his classical reading as were thoee of old Dan Drew to his btbe- reading

No. 10 colliery ofthe Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company, at Sugar Notch,
were warned by the ominous breaking
and cracking noises that the mine, or a
part of it, was about to close tn on them.
A boy named John Clark was immediate
ly dispatched to the face of the east gang
way, where six men, named Edward
Price, Charles Hawkins, james Greene,
Patrick Greene, Barney Riley and Will
liam Kinney, were at work,to notify them
of what was occurring between their
gangway and the opening. All the per-
sons in the mine made their escape be-
fore the CAVERN occurred with the excep-
ton of the above named men and the
messenger who was sent to warn them
and of whom nothing has been seen oil
heard since. 1t is hoped that they have
remained in the gangway, as that is the
safest place In the mine, owing to the
fact that no openings have been made out
of it. The VEN crops out at the surface
and 200 men are sinking hole from the
surface to strike the highest breast that
has b0en worked up, hoping by these
means to rel case the imprisoned men. II
is calculated that it will only be necessa.
iy to dig distance of twenty feet.
