Pittsburgh Glass Blowers Reduction OF
Wages.

PITTSBURGH, April est was only a
few weeks ago that some OF the glass
chimney factories started to work again
after an enforced idleness caused by
strike by the "horn knockers" or blow
ers. A few of the men are new hands, but
most of the old men went in again at the
reduced wages. Now it is understood an
other reduction in wages has become nee
essary. The factories in the neigboring
towns have made a reduction in wages of
twenty per cent, and in order to continue
business at all similar reduction becomes
necessary in Pittsburgh factories. The
employees were notified on Saturday that
such a reduction would go into effect to-
day. The employees generally have ac-
ceded to the reduction, being satisfied that
it is rendered necessary by the exigencies
of the case. The reduction has therefore
been effected very quietly and without
any trouble whatever.

Veto StntIstIcs.

WAsruxGToN, April 27.-In view of the
forthcoming vetoes of the army and legis-
lativc bills, compilation OF all the vetoes
from the foundation of the Government,
made by Representative Belford and
printed in the Record to-day, is attracting
attention. The list disposes of many
statements made by the Democrats in de-
bate in regard to the previous exercises of
the veto power. There have been ninety
three yetoes i'll all. Washington vetoed
two measures, one of which was a reduc-
tion of the army. The reasons he as
signed were that the act was injudicious
and unjust Madison vetoed six bills,
One was an appropriation bill providing
forinternal improvement,up upon the ground
that It was unconstitutional. Monroe's
only veto was of bill to aid the Cumber-
land road, upon the ground of its uncon-
stitutionality Jackson vetoed twelve bills,
three of them being appropriation bills.
TYLER vetoed nine, one of which was ariver
and harbor appropriation bill. Polk ve-
toed three bills. One was river and har-
bor bill. another the French spoliation
claims bill, and the third an internal inn
proyement bill-the latter upon the
ground that Ii was interfering with State
Fights. Pierce vetoed nine bills, among
which we're several river and harbor ap..
preparation bills. Buchanan vetoed
four bills. Lincoln sent but one
Veto message to Congress, and
that was disappearing joint resolution to
correct clerical errors in the revenue act.
johnson vetoed seventeen bills, Grant
vetoed twenty-six bills, Hayes has thus tal

SAN FRANc1sco, CAL, April 2s.-F. F..
Cassebahm, first assistant of the City Treas
ury, committed suicide this afternoon by
shooting himself through the head. He
left note addressed to the Coroner, stat
ing he had been led into stock specula-

lector, who also committed suicide, and
was defaulter to large amount; that he
had lost S35, 900 in specializing and had
used $40, 900 of the city's money to cover
margins, and being unable to make it
good, saw no resort but to follow Austin's
example. He had always born a good
lie exposure and persecution. Experts
have recently examined the City Treas
urer's books, but have not yet reported.
Deceased was a native of Germany. He

About Making Pikes-Karrow Gauges
Cheaper.

wehave a note from our old friend, James
E. Wharton, of Portsmouth, Ohio, in re-
gard to the discussion among our Jefferson
county neighbors on the subject of turn
pixies and their cost. He says: 81 pre-
sumo your neighbors of Jefferson county,
Ohio, are much exercised on turnpikes.
/ have recently examined our Commis-
sioners books and 1 find that although
our pixies were built through country
where they were as easily constructed as
they can be in Jefferson, yet they were
costly affairs. We have l52 miles OF them
and they epst s., $40 per mile, and, in ad-
ldftion. thss cost $50 0s per mile per an
hum TO Keep them in repair. Narrow
|gauge roads would be as cheap if run free.
They may do it cheaper up in Jefferson
fhan here, but no county will try it twice" )"
\ GENRRA1 LOGAN was one of the bravest
soldiers in the Union army and showed his
d quality on many a battle field. He can there
fore, afford to refuse challenge to fight a
duel, and the civilized people of this coun-
try will applaud his declination to receive
a note for that purpose. The Southern
brigadiers are back in Congress with all
their old ideas of the bloody Code. Since
they can not govern themselves, or pre-
vent murder and ASSASSINATION in their
own midst, they are not fit to make laws for
other people. When General Logan was
in Congress before the war he was consid-
cred dangerous man to fool with, and if
Lowe presumes upon his refusal to go
outside the District by crossing his path
within it, he will make serious mistake.
Logan is swarthy skinned, black haired
Individual, and possesses temperament
that is generally associated with desper-
ate determination when aroused.

Lassoing a Bear.

H. p. Fancher was trying to catch a
horse, and was rapidly riding after him
through a thicket of mesquite, when he
suddenly came upon huge bear. A
chase at once commenced, Mr.. Fancher
attacking with his pistol, and bruin,
probably nearly overcome by heat, try
ing to make successful retreat. Mr.
F. fired five shots without bringing down
his game, and having only one charge
left, concluded to change his tactics.
Uncoiling the rope used as a lariat,
which was tied to his saddle, he made Il
lasso, and attempted to rope the bear.
The first attempt was unsuccessful, the
rope getting in the animals mouth.
The next proved Il successful throw, the
rope getting on the bears neck. a
quick movement on the part of the bear
jerked the rope out of Mr.. F.'s hand,
and the bear resumed his retreat, closely
followed by his pursuer on horseback.
Finding it difficult to approach the bear
sufficiently near to catch hold of the
the chase on foot. Seeing this the bear
slackened his speed, evidently not caring
if his pursuer did come up with him.
He occasionally stopped and looked
back, us if expecting company. Dcclin-
ing Il hand-to-l,and encounter with Il
large bear, Mr.. +. returned to his horse,
and calling to his cousin, Mr.. Il.
Fancher, resumed the chase. With the
aid of Il stick he possessed himself of the
end of the rope, which was about thirty
feet in length, and fastened it to the sad
die. Now commenced the frantic actions
of the bear in his savage efforts to re-
lease himself. He plunged in every
direction, nearly throwing the horse,
and showing evident intention to free
himself ut all hazards. But his captor
managed to retain his prisoner, and ut
the same time keep his horse out of the
way of the savage brute until Il shot
from the siX-shooter of his cousin put
the bear hors de combat. The fore paw
exhibited by Mr.. Fancher, and left with
us, is the largest ever seen in this sec
ton, and indicates, so old hunters tell
us, that the owner, in good condition,
