LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Fair Train Impositfou.

Editor iTdr:-The B. & o. deserves the Sc
verest censure for the way I'm which the extra
trains to the fair are run. After promising the
Sary. they send trains out about every hour and
q half with fourteen or fifteen cars loaded down
to the platform steps, with two locomotives;
whereas, they might at least run every forty or
forty five minutes with half the number of cars
and one locomotive. But, to the remedy: About
forty of us who go every day have resolved to
have seats, end to this end will refuse to give
up tickets until provided for. This Is the only
redress, and when the people all do the same
thing, then and then only will they have Suita-
Bile accommodations. The railroad officials dare
not lay themselves liable by putting any one OF
for refusing ticket under these circumstances
They have lost too many such suits.

MINE TEMPERATURE.-A singular feature OF

allure decreases instead OF increases as depth is
attained, generally falling below that of the sur
face during the summer months. A visitor, I'M

ence chilly Sensation. This obtains to the very
lowest workings over 100 feet, and is attributed
to the numerous caves and openings throughout
the vein matter, and through which the air cir
culateS freely. Another curious circumstance
is noted. During the summer months, and while
the warm weather prevails, there is downcast
through the Eureka Consolidated shaft, the cur
rent OF air passing through the drifts and up the
Richmond shaft, but the moment there is q
marked change in the weather, and cool tenn
perature is introduced, there is reversal Of the
