announced tho other day that cheap
excursions would soon be in order
cheaper perhaps than those Of last season
and We notice that on next Thursday,
the 18th, special excursion train is to
leave Marietta, o., over the N. p. & G,
road, for Niagara Falls, the round trip fare
being s., and only 81 extra each way for a
double berth in a sleeping car.
The only objection to an excursion like
this is that it is too hurried. 1t proposes
to leave Marietta at noon on Thursday and
to return by Saturday noon, giving Fri
dayto seeingtho Falls, thus compellingthe
excunionists to 10 most OF their travelling
by night. An excursion to such place
81 Niagara should give at least two days at
that point, and allow the excursionists to
return on any regular train within limit
that will permit them to see the country,
which is hulf.he pleasure Of the trip.
II cxcursionists will only insist on hav-
ing u comfortable and enjoyable time by
standing out lor more elasticity in the ar
rangements they will be able in the course
Of month from now to make satisfactory
terms with the getters up Of these specu-
latiOns.

tracts without first giving ten days notice
to all the Others in the pool.
Tho date Of the pool going into force Is
to give different lines sufficient time in

Pittsburgh Manufacturer Of yesterday.
That which has been so long dreaded,
hut nevertheless expected-a closing of the
mills, consequent upon refusal Of the
puddlers to accedo to reduction OF pay
for puddling-has come to pass, and the
thirty odd works, with but one exception
(non. Union), are Us silent as If they had
been abandoned forever. The puddlers
have not only refused to accept a reduc.
ton, but have also declined to submit the
question to arbitration; so that there Is
every prospect OF q prolonged stoppage.
This OF course will make dull market
here while it lasts, aud correspondingly
lively ones In other iron centres.
There are indications that nails are
scarcer in this market than they have
been, but so far es can be learned the prices
obtained arc about the same, and may be
quoted ut s. per key for l0d to cod.

LoNG LOST FcuSD AT LASr.-In January,
1871, while hauling wood, Mr.. David Da.
wilson, farmer residing near Washing.
ton, Pa, lost a silver watch in field
which had been cultivated SIX times since,
and produced two crops Of corn, two OF
oats and two Of wheat. While blowing, a
few days since, he noticed something
bright pass over the mOuld.board, and on
examination further found it to be his
long lost watch. The case was as perfect
and bright as when lost; the crystal was
cracked but remained in It's place, the dial
appeared to be uninjured, the internal
works were somewhat rusty, and some Of
the parts rendered worthless. When the
watch was lost steel chain was attached
to 1t; this son OF Mr.. Davidson found
last year while working corn, but the
watch could not then be found. Mr.. D.
had owned the watch thirty years, and ex.
changed It in part pay for new one with
Mr. Alexander Mckinley, OF that borough,
who now has 1t in his possession.

An Ex.DemocratIc Paper on the wash,
Iugton Situation.

ington Situation.
The Chicago Times "a paper Of Demo-
cratic antecedents, and known now as an
independent and conservative Journal
sums up the Democratic situation at Wash.
ington as follows:
"Not long ago disgnsted Confederate
Brigadier described the situation Of his
party (who l,aye captured the Capitol')
as that OF lot OF corrnled politicians who
were consuming u great deal Of time in
considering whether they should jump
out or break out or back out. II was
thought that these three comprised all the
possible modes Of getting out OF the dread
hui inclosure In which they have got them
selves imprisoned. But now it appears
that their wonderful steering committee
have come to the opinion that there may
possibly be fourth way OF getting out,
namely, to sneak out With vast wear
and tear OF brain force, Captain Thurman,
Lieutenant Chalmers and the other able
bodied statesmen in charge OF the party
steering apparatus, have resolved TO make
an attempt to sneak out"
The exact truth in regard to the situa-
tion at Washington Is tersely expressed
in the above paragraph. The Democrats
are trying hard to fud some way out OF
their trap without incurring the aeers
and jeers Of the country. They see that
they have made great mlstaks-that the
President has beaten their game at every
turn, and that they cannot twist thing;
into shape credItable to their saSacity
and they are really trying hard to contrivt
some way to sneak out, and at the samG
time, II possible, save appearances in th'
eyes OF the country.
