he'd Tor the concession, out sorrow
drove her crazy, aud she had TO be re
moved TO an insane asylum.
On Monday two weeks ago four men
left Georgetown. Col, for Tyner, In the
North Park They travelled over the
snow without n,ishsp until Wednesday
morning, which found them chm bing up
a very steep aud rugged mountain few
miles from Tyner. The snow covering
on the top of the mountain was about
SIX feet thick. As the men were toll
ing up the height the great carpet of
snow suddenly began to move down.
The slide was comparatively slow at
first, but within thirty seconds it haG
became a laundering avalanch, an6 the
four men we're hurled at lightning
speed TO the foot of the mountain.
James Nelson, one of the party, fasten-
ed bis boots into an icy crust, and cling
ing with all his strength was not hurt
seriously, though his body was bruised
and his flesh torn in various places.
When the slide stopped he was within
a few inches of the surface of the mass
and Was able to thrust his arm through
to the surface, thus securing air. Ten
minutes later William Sandels, who
had escaped unhurt, dug Nelson out
and they together searched for their
companions. They found Charles Eat
on several feet beneath the snow and
not far off was Thomas Gray, both
black in the face from suffocation and
both dead Searching further they
found John Frazer, who had been bur-
led twenty feet He was purple in
the face and blood flowed from his
mouth, but he soou regained conscious
ness. His lef, leg was broken in tive
places.

G. A. ARTHUR.
NO LEGAL DISSOLUTION OF
PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT
PUCLIC NOTICE.

Something that is very often neg
lected by business men, and which
neglect, very often results disastrously,
is the precaution to advertise in the
public newspaper notice of "Dissolu-
tion of Partnership" A partnership
may be made in a hour, but cannot be
dissolved fully in less than four weeks,
not until after the same has been ad-
vertised in public newspaper in each
of the counties in which the firm had
places of business.
A recent decision of court, in Phila-
delphia, is that no matter how long
the dissolution of firm may exist,
there is no legal dissolution until after
public notice is given of the same
through the columns of the county pa
per, and private notice sent to all
having open accounts with the firm at
the time of dissolution.
In the above case it was proven that
each member of the firm had admitted
that the firm had been dissolved many
years ago, and the accounts settled up
every thing necessary done but ad-
vertising; but the court instructed the
jury that there was no legal dissolu-
tion, and a verdict was rendered ac-
cordingly. Until the full letter of the
law is fulfilled, either surviving part
ner is liable for any debt the other
partner or partners may make over the
firm signature previous to the first no.
tice in the newspaper, which will stop
all proceedings, but it is not complete
until the same has been published for
four consecutive weeks.

ICE GORGE NE WTON, NJ j.

An interesting ravine, in which
natural ice remains throughout the
summer, is attracting local interest at
Newton, New Jersey. 1t lies at the
foot of Blue Mountain, is several hum
dred yards long, from ten to thirty
feet deep, with caves and clefts in the
rock, filed with ice. The shade at
the gorge is described as very dense,
the sun apparently never penetrating
it. The bottom of the gorge is covered
with ice, and the little caves and cre-
vices are filled with it, The parapet
of the mountain, like the Palisades Of
the Hudson, is very nearly perpendic-
ular, and rises about 400 feet above
the ravinc, though which current of,
cold air sweeps constantly. The
thermometer, which registered In the
nineties in Newton, marked $50 at the
bottom Of this gorge-too cold for one
to remain there any length of time.
A few feet from one end of the gorge
spring Of the most delicious spark
ling water bubbles up. 1t tastes
slightly of iron, aud Is very satisfying
to the thirst. The water in the spring
stands at $40. The owner of the farm
on which the gorge is found, says that
it is much resorted to for ice, so that
by the middle of August but little re-
mains except in the caves and deeper
holes

DEMAND FOR HEAVY HORSES

The Factory and Farm states a
: fact which we have observed to exist
in this city for some time past, L. G.,
an increase in the number of large
horses used on trucks and heavy busi-
ness wagons. During the past fifteen
years, the writer remarks, there has
been great change in the demand for
horses in this country. Formerly
nearly every one bred in relation to
speed and endurance Now large
proportion of farmers breed with a
view to increasing size and strength.
This change is not the result of caprice.
There has been a steady, increasing
demand for heavy horses, and o cor
responding falling off in the demand
for light ones Fashion has had little
to do in the matter. Heavy horses
are wanted because they supply an ex-
listing want. From present appear
ances it will be many years before the
supply of heavy horses will equal the
demand. The country is now well
supplied with horses. At no time in
its history, perhaps. were there as
many horses to a given number of in
habitants as at present Small work
horses are low. but heavy draught
horses continue to be high.
The importation of Clydesdale and
Percheron-N orman horses increases
every year. The first that were
brought over were regarded as very
uncertain ventures. At present they
are of no doubtful value. The impor-
ters of horses from France and Scot
land have suffered none of the reverses
of the importers of short-horn cattle.
With rare exceptions they have be-
come rich. From present appearances
we shall soon be sending Clydesdales
to Scotland and England, and Nor
mans to France and Belgium. The
value of heavy draught horses was
recognized in the Old World before it
was in the New Now that their
worth is appreciated here, all persons
having teaming to do seem anxious to
procure them.
Large horses are less liable to in
juries from the swinging of the poles
of wagons than small ones. Their
bones are firmef and they are COM
monty more hardy. Large horses are
more economical as respects harness,
stall room, feed, and work required to
take care of them In all the coun-
tries of eastern Europe heavy horses
have taken the place of light ones in
general farming operations. That
American farmers will soon generally
employ heavy horses in field work
seems ccrtain.-Sctentitic Am. N Y.

WHAT CONSTITUTES a OON-
SPIRACY2

The preliminary contest in the st.
Louis Courts in the conspiracy suits
of the Vulcan Steel Works against
their workmen has been decided in
favor of the company. The case is a
somewhat peculiar one. James Tighe
Dennis Griffin, Michael Dimon, Martin
Hanifn, Bart Fenton, Patrick Kelley
and Martin Hooley were employees in
the converting department of the Vul-
can Works. On the evening of the
5th of last April, when two heats Of
iron were partially melted, the cupola
ladle filed with molten metal and the
pits covered with cooling ingots, these
men are charged with conspiring to-
gether and suddenly going out upon
strike for higher wages. This placed
the Vulcan superintendent in o pre-
dicament, and they allege that, were
it not for the timely arrival of a suffi-
cient force of men at the works just at
the proper time, the metal would have
become hardened In the receptacles,
causing the works to lie idle and put
ting them to great deal of expense in
placing them in working condition
again. With the assistance of the
new workmen they succeeded in es-
Gaping actual loss. The arrest of the
parties named followed for conspiracy
Their attorney moved to quash tie
proceedings on the ground that they
had committed no offense under the
common law. The acting State at
torney claimed that it was both
statutory and common law ofense.
The case was finally argued before
Judge Cady, who delivered, at the ses-
sion of the Court of Criminal Correc-
tion, the appended decision: "The
statement contained in the informa-
ton filed in this case, if true, consti-
tutes, in my opinion, clear case Of
conspiracy. 1t is doubtless true that
there is no crime in The solitary fact
that the several defendants agreed or
conspired together that unless higher
wages were paid they would cease
work, but it is equally clear that for
these defendants to confederate, con-
spire and agree together to stop work
under the circumstances and for the
purpose alleged in the information, is
an offense. II is true that the mere
failure or a refusal to perform civil
contract is not of itself q crime. But
the circumstances alleged in connec-
ton with the refusal of these defen-
dants and others certainly constitute
an offense. l am, therefore, of the
opinion that the motion should be
overruled and the defendants put upon
their trial. Goal Trade Journal

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The resolution referring to the public
service seems to be deserving of ap-
proval. Surely no man should be the
incumbent of an Office the duties of
which he is for any cause unfit to per-
form, who is lacking in the ability,
fidelity or integrity which proper ad-
ministration of such Office demands.
This statement would doubtless meet
with general acquiescence. But opin-
ion has been widely divided upon the
practicability of various reformatory
schemes which have been suggested,
and of certain proposed regulations
governing appointments, to public Of
fee. The efficiency of such regulations
has been distrusted, mainly because
they have seemed to exalt mere educa-
tional and abstract tests above general
business capacity and even special fit
ness for the particular work in hand.
1t seems to me that rules which should
be applied to the management of the
public service may properly conform in
the main to such as regulate the con-
duct of successful private business.

The Observation-Disclosures verdict OBJ
tanned some time ago against Mrs. John
Drew for the act of one OF her employees
of the Arch Street Theatre in ejecting a
colored man and his wife from the
theater is the subject Of Supreme
Court decision. 1t appears that in April,
1874, the Police of the city gave series
of entertainments in aid of the Centen-
NAL. One of them was given at the
Arch Street Theater. P. A. Peer,
colored, bought two tickets for this enter
tainment, and subsequently took them
to the box-office Of the theater and ex-
changed them for reserved seats.
On the night of the entertainment,
April 10th, Mr.. Peer and his wife went
to the theater, and were about entering
the door when the ticket agent called to
an employe, "Clear them niggers away"
The employe pushed against them. Mr..
Peer and wife resisted, but finally they
were forced out. 1t was claimed that
Mrs. Peer was injured. and the suit was
brought against Mrs. Drew. After the
verdict she took the case TO the Supreme
Court, alleging that there had been a
mistake in the form of the action, and
that the plaintiffs were only entitled to a
verdict of 50, the amount paid for the
two tickets. The Court of last resort, in
an opinion by Justice Sterrett yesterday
sustains the judgment Of the lower court
Remarking that the right action had
been brought the Justice says: "Whethe,
the tickets conferred merely a license OF
something is mmaterial. If they gave
only license to enter the theater and re-
main there during the performance, it is
very clear that the agents Of the defend
ants had no right to revoke it as they
did and summarily eject Peer and his
wife from the building in such a lnannel
as to injure her. We incline to the opin
ion, however, that as purchasers anc
holders Of tickets for particular seat
they had more than mere license
Their right was more in the nature Of .
lease, entitling them to peaceable ingres
and egress and exclusive possession of tn,
designated seats during the performance
on that particular evening"
