lasted, and when the mountains
were once more composed the fright
ened men went to the rescue of the
men whom they thought dead
The ore had nearly closed up the
tunnel, and the men went to work
vigorously to open it up and to look
for the dead. They worked with
unrelenting effort for half hour,
when the obstruction was removed,
and, going in, they found two men,
seriously, if not fatally, injured
One of the men, whose name is Bob
Adams, was unconcious when found,
and he has no doubt sustained a
fracture of the skull. Three ribs
were broken, and he also suffered
internal injuries. His companion,
a man by the name of Sedgwick,
was badly bruised, and had his right
leg broken above the knee. Both
men were taken out and placed in
the cabin, when physician was
sent for at once. Adams will very
likely die from his internal wounds,
while Sedgwick will be crippled for
life. The men said that at the time
of the shock the two injured men
were further in the tunnel than the
remainder of them, and that they
thought that the mine was closing
in upon them, and rushed out, al
most deafened by the tremendous
report that followed.
Besides the destruction to the
mine, there was other damage. A
cabin on one of the properties was
shaken to pieces, and is entirely
demolished. No one was injured
at this place. Mr.. Gum said that
the total damage could not be est
mated at present, as there were sew
eral places from which come reports
that he knows nothing definite
about atpresent. The residents anc
Eprospectors are not little alarmed
as they do not know when to expect
a repetition. Mr. Gum promises
TO favor the paper with correspon
dence upon his return that will fur
nish a full account of the affair.

AN EARTHQUAKE.

Leadville (Col0 Democrat: The
territory around Twin Lakes was
traversed by fearful vibration on
Saturday night last, and the people
in that vicinity were thrown into
the greatest CONSERVATION for few
hours. For weeks past the pros
pectors and residents in that vicin-
ity have been much stirred up over
the strange noises and evident con-
cussions of some action beneath the
earth's surface. Thunder seldom
visits this altitude, and especially at
this time of the year, and the con-
clusion was settled upon that there
was some strange subterranean
action going on. Innumerable
meetings were held among the min
ers, and not few were frightened
into leaving the place altogether
The elimination on Saturday night
last was not by any means unex-
pected, and its results in one local
ity were most horrible. Yesterday
a gentleman by the name Of Philip
Gum came into the city from Twin
Lakes, where the earthquake is at
present the absorbing topic of con-
versation. The disturbance occur
red some eight or ten miles from
the lakes, and the tremor of the
earth was even felt there. Mr..
Gum says that the miners thronged
into Twin Lakes on Sunday morn
ing and swore they would not live
in a country where they were to be
visited by such confusion.
In one place especially, where
the miners were working the Stead
fast Lode, and were driving tun-
mel in at the base of the mountain
so as to strike the main vein 500 #.
from the summit, the men were
engaged in blasting, when suddenly
the rumbling and roaring came,
attended by fearful shock that dis
lodged the ore and sent at least
ton of it down upon the workmen.
For several seconds the vibrations

GEN. CUTLER AND THE
STRIPPED REB.

Wausau, April 10 have just
read the anecdote of Gen. Gorden
about the captured Yank who swan
the river to see the boys, which
reminds me. When the Army OF
the Potomac was guarding one bank
of the Rappahannock river in 1868,
and the rebels the other, we found
it quite difficult to keep the boys
from exchanging papers, trading
coffee for tobacco, etc. Stringent
orders had been issued to prevent
it, but without effect. The boys
would do it, and while the veterans
were on guard they escaped detec-
ton andpunishment. But one day
Connecticut regiment Of green
troops was on picket and one of the
rebels, as usual, swan across to
dicker, when he was at once taken
prisoner by the Connecticut men,
and, naked as he was, marched to
the rear. As it happened Gen.
Cutters brigade was the nearest
| headquarters reached. The ap-
pearance of a naked man caused
quite a commotion and the writer
of this was sent by Gen. Cutler to
find out what was up. | reported
the facts to the kind-hearted old
| man when he roared, ga prisoner
stark naked, swan across to ex-
change stuff with the boys and TAX
en- prisoner. 1t is id piece of
treachery; take him to the quarter
masters I'D clothe him up and
send him to me-" This was done,
and in full suit of Yankee blue,
he was soon ushered into the gen
erals tent, when, with a look in
which sternness and mirth combin-
ed, he said:
'Well, my man, how did this
occurp' ''Well, gineral," he re
piled, "the boys had been in the
habit of swimming across and ex-
changing papers, coffee, tobacco,
and SIGH, and l swan across as
usual, when the ID green Con
necticut Yanks took me in
''Did, eh?" musingly said the
general. "Well, | must say 1t was
a breach of good faith
After making some further in
quiries as to what command he
belonged to and gaining all the in
| formation from him he could, he
ordered him to be ferried across the
river to his command, or if this
could not be done, to let him swim
back. The order was obeyed.-
This is a truthful story, and illus
trates the great, kind, chivalrouS
nature Of General Cutler, as good
an officer and as brave a man as
ever did honor to his state. Yours,
j. A. KELLOGG.

THE. CLASSY

An English naturalist tells an
anecdote about a glass-snake, a
harmless but not very pretty-look-
ing reptile. 1t is named from its
extreme fragility:
It's scales are ringed, and overlap
each other in peculiar way, and
it has dull, rawish-pink color, as
if it had been skinned. 1t has some
times been known to attain length
of nearly six feet, and grows almost
as thick as a mans wrist. This,
however, is an unusually large and
rare specimen. It's general length
seldom exceeds four feet, and its
thickness not more than an inch
in diameter. Many varieties of it
abound in Asia and America, and
all are alike harmless, their food, OF
which they eat very little, being
chiefly mice and small frogs and
beetles. A friend of mine, a broth
or student in ophiology, had a fine
collection of these curious snakes,
which were all very docile, and al
lowed themselves to be handled
freely, except one, which was really
ill-tempered. They were all, how
ever, SO precisely alike in shape,
size and color, that it was impos-
sible to tell which was the particu-
lar one that possessed unfortunate
infirmity of temper.

HOW INDIANS MARRY.

An interesting account of how
Indians marry or are given in mar
riage is given by Commissioner
Hoyt. He says that at present
there are no valid marriages among
the Indians, except where, in few
instances, a marriage ceremony is
performed by the agent. The Gus
tom among the Osages is about the
same as among other tribes not fully
civilized. and is somewhat as fol
lows: A man who desires to marry
goes to the lodge of the woman he
proposes to marry and sits down
outside of the door, awaiting an in
vitation to 60 in. At first he sends
a present of one pony, and if in
response to the gift there is no in
vitation to come within the lodge
he sends another pony as present;
if the second does not answer the
purpose, third, fourth, fifth or
even a tenth is sent. When the
number of ponies is satisfactory to
the father, the donor is invited
within, and the bargain is DONE
1t SO happens that he takes the
eldest girl in the family he is en-
titled to take all her younger sis
tiers to himself. or, if he does not
take them for himself, he bargains
with any other applicants for their
possession. The whole proceeding
is mere matter of bargain and sale,
in which women are disposed of
without their consent, and very
much like cattle in the market
There is no limit to the number of
wives, as they are called, which an
Indian may have, and by their Gus
tom he can change the occupants of
his lodge as often as he pleases.

It will be noticed that the northern tier of of counties would be the chef losers and the seaboard counties would be the chief gathers by an apportionment on. population. As now arranged, the former have majority of 16: while the latter are entitled by population to . majority of 52. Litchfeld and Holland counties have nearly double their true num- Der of representatives while New Haven conn., ty1has but little more than half. 2 It is when we come to the comparison of me smaller and larger towns, however, that thesuufairness of the present system becomes most obvious.
