ThOSo Horses.

We copied yesterday from West Ches-
ter paper a paragraph stating that Ian
caster man while driving a pair Of match
horses toward Philadelphia had the mis-
fortune to lose both of thcm-one dropping
dead in the harness near Glenloch and
the other near the Belvedere store. From
the fact that Theodore Trout left
Lancaster on Monday morning with his
match sorre!s, intending to drive to Phil
adelphia, it is supposed the horses spoken
of above were his. Mrs. Trout last cven-
ing telegraphed to Philadelphia, inquiring
whether Mr.. Trout and the horses had
reached there. She received telegram
from Mr.. Trout this morning in which he
says that lie is all right and will be home
tomorrow or Friday, but he says nothing
about the horses. 1t is feared that the
beautiful little sorrels seen SO often upon
our streets and admired SO much are dead
Mrs. Trout says the sorrels have been
driven to Philadelphia several times be-
fore, and on each occasion were taken
sick while ell route.

How Shall | Read ?

Many who have the long winter even
ings before them are asking the question
How shall 1 read ?" 1t is with q de-
sire to answer this question that we pre-
pare this brief article.
The first thing needed is some plan,
or course of reading marked out be-
forehand. Unless this is done we are
apt to be very discursive in our reading,
as history, biography, poetry, and books
of travel.
I would have" says distinguished
educator of this country, every edu-
Gated man acquire broad, general ac-
quaintance with number and variety
of branches, and would have this fol-
lowed up by u devoted study of a few,
or of one.
We ought to give our attention to
these different kinds, not merely because
we may weary of one if too much time
is given to 1t, but because they are truths
and beauties which we need to be found
in every one of them.
History reveals the past, and helps us
to understand what is occurring in the
present.
Poetry helps us to discover the good
and beautiful in all that meets us.
Biography reveals character and stim-
ulates to noble deeds.
Books of travel include history bio
graphy and poetry. They broaden our
views, so that we include within our
interest and sympathies the people Of
distant lands.

A SILVER MOUNTAIN.

THIS season when the whaling fleet
returned from short cruise in the
Artic ocean it was stated that the season
had been unusually short, and that the
catch had been large, but few people
were aware of the extraordinary discov-
cry which had been made by the crew
of one of the vessels, which is to result
in the enriching of a score or more
people. The story, as told by the cap
tain of the whaler, is as follows
While the vessel was lying in small
bay at the mouth of one of the rivers
which empty into the ocean on the
coast of Alaska, great many of the
natives came abroad to trade for sea bis
cult, of which they are passionately
fond, and they were treated so literally
by the white men that the chief invited
the captain to accompany them up the
river p short distance on fishing excur-
sion. The captain consented, especially
as he was told that the river swarmed
with salmon, and he desired to lay in a
supply. A whaleboat was manned, and
the captain, one of the mates and four
men started on the expedition.
The entire party went up the river
abont fifteen miles passing over rapid,
which was difficult on account of the
swift current and rocky obstruction
Soon after passing the rapids they came
in sight of hill, fringed with trees and
shrubs at it's base, but barren and rocky
toward the summit, which seemed to be
not more than 400 or 500 feet high
Here the party halted, and after partak-
ing OF dinner the seamen began taking
salmon, while the captain and mate, to-
gether with the chief made an ascent of
the hill.
Arriving at the top, they found what
seemed to be the crater of an extinct
volcano, and around were evidences
that at one time there had been a terrible
eruption, for loose boulders, charred and
blackened, strewed the ground in every
direction. In the crater itself the cap

tain noticed that the rocks resembed
congealed iron after 1t had been melted,
and undertook to knock Off piece, but
could not do 1t, as II seemed to bend,not
break, with his repeated blows with the
head of boat axe. He then struck IL
with the blade of the axe, and actually
chopped 1t CT and took 1t in his hand.
Where the axe had cleaved its way
through, the rock he saw was as soft
nearly as lead, al Though ii did not shine
He thought then that 1t was metal of
some kind and kept 1t. The mate mean
while had picked up some of the loose
rocks and boulders, and they started
away. Toward morning, native
brought piece of rock about twelve
inches long and six inches thick, which
weighed forty. eight pounds, and sprlnk-
led with gold, stating that he had found
1t near another hill further up the river,
and that such rock was easily gathered
there. The party returned to the vessel
and in due time arrived in San Fran
cisco.
Here the story was told to gentlemen
living in Oakland, and the specimens
handed over to him for the purpose of
having proper assays made. This was
done, and the piece which the captain
chopped off the top of the hill with the
axe went $4,000 per ton in silver, and
the loose rocks picked up on the side of
the hill went as high as $275, silver, per
tor. 1t seems then that this hill is a
mountain of silver, and that it is only
the beginning of vast discoveries which
will soon be made in Alaska, which
may yet become the El Dorado to which
thousands will rush.
The Oakland gentleman spoken of
Immediately formed a party or company
which has chartered the Whaler to take
trip to the scene of the remarkable
find as soon as the season opens. The
party will consist of the same captain
and mate who found the treasure, and
six others, besides the crew. The COM
pany will provision the vessel for seven
months, pay the crew, and give the cap
tain and mate an equal share of the pro-
ceeds. 1t is designed to leave San Fran
cisco in April. 1t will take eighteen or
twenty days to make the run up, and
not more than fifteen or twenty days to
load the vessel, which will return to
San Francisco, unload cargo and make
another trip up to the place again.
On her first trip she will leave the
working party, which will put in the
time during her absence in getting out
cargo Of the richest ore for her on her
return. 1t will be remembered that the
Corwin, on her trip to the Arctic this
season, discovered an unlimited supply
of coal In northern Alaska, and also
brought back specimens of silver bear
ing rock, which assays $175 per ton. So
if the whaler is successful in 1881, we
may look for lively times in Alaska in
the near future.

and the two that get the most States
will be elected ? And If q man can't
carry his own State he's liable to be

dyke. " It's as plain as day now. But
