MIR. William Hubbard of Ipswich, in his
"History of the Indian Wars" printed in
1877, gives the following quaint story OF a
drought in Connecticut in August, 1876
The writer of the narrative was Mr.. Fitch,
the minister of Norwich
Concerning the Drought the true Mar
ralive Of that Providence is this In Au-
gust last, such was the Wan. of Rain that
the Indian Corn was not only dryed and
parched up, but the Apple Trees witheicd,
tho Fruit and Leaves fell Off as in Autumn,
and some Trees seemed to be Dead with that
Drought the Indians came into town and
did Lament their Want of Rain and that their
Pawawes could get none 10 their Way of
Worship, desiring me that l would Seek to
God for Rain; appointed Fast Day for
that Purpose. The Day being come, II prov
ed a clear Day without any Clouds until nigh
Sun setting, when we came from the
Meeting, and then some Clouds arose, the
next Day remaining cloudy; then Vncas with
many Indians came TO my house. Vncas
lamented there was such want of Rain !:
| asked whether if God should send us rain,
he would not attribute 1t to their Pawawes.
He answered, No, for they had done their
Nttermost, and all in Vain; replyed, if
you will declare il before all these Indians
you shall see what God will do for us; For
although this Year he hath shown his Anger
against the English, and not only against the
Indians, yet he hath begun to save us; and
| have found by Experience twice in the like
case, where we sought him by fasting and
Prayer he hath given us Rain and never de
MED us. Then Vncas made great Speech
to the Indians (Which were many confess
ing that If God should send Rain, il could
not be ascribed to their Pawawing, but mus
be acknowledged to he an answer of oul
Prayers, This day the Clouds spread more

The Cost of strikes,

The Philadelphia Times estimates that the
loss to laborer5 growing out of the strikes of
the present year will reach "a 900, 900. The
Cleveland Iedder has been looking into the
matter more closely, and concludes that this
estimate is too low In the Pittsburg, Pa,
district alone 20 900 iron workers have been
idle for eleven weeks, and estimating the
wages they would have received if at work at
SO per day, their earnings would have
reached S2,Gi00OO About 5000 men
have been on strike in Cleveland since june
|, and their loss in wages is not less than
$500, 900. When to these sums are added
those lost by smaller bodies Of strikers in
various parts of the country, there eau he
little doubt that an aggregate will exceed the
Philadelphia TimeS's figures. The Ledier
truthfully says
Taken rs whole, the strikes of the pres
ent year have been failure. The scale Of the
iron and steel workers organization has not
been accepted, and the mills which have
resumed operations have done so with non
union men, at the old prices. Even the un-
ion men, rs in Cleveland, are only too anxious
to resume work without an advance over
the former scale. Pitisburg still holds out
hut the collapse is not far away. The strike
of the freight handlers has come to an end
and the men are begging to get back to their
former places, nj the rate OF compensation
paid before the strike. SO has 1t been in
almost every case of strike. AS consc-
quence, the money lost to labor has not only
been great, but there is no opportunity TO
make it good. The money Is irrctrievably
lost to the strikers, and they are just so
much the poorer. There is n lesson in all
this which workingnen will do well to study
and improve. 1t is their right and privilege
to organize and to seek after the highest rate
Of wages attainable, but after all, the com
pehsatlon of labor must depend upon the
demand for its services. This demand is
regulated wholly by the action of the market
and the price of products. The iron and
steel workers inaugurated their strike when
the demand for iron was on the decline and
the price falling. A little reelection should
have taught the workmcn that falling mar
ket and an advance in wages do not
work in harmony. This is the lesson which
workingmen will have TO learn if they hope
to escape grave errors and serious losses in
the future.

mund Sweeney will be grieved to learn
of the death of their eldest daughter Mag
gle E., which occurred at the family
home in the Fourth ward, Tuesday morn
ing, October oath, 1882, at 6 o'clock
Deceased was born March II, 1865, and
therefore in her eighteenth year when
called away from this world of care, toll
and suffering to that better land where
the weary are forever at rest. Failing
health produced by several severe attacks
within year of hemorrhage of the
lungs, induced her to seek a different eli
mate from this, and in June last, accom-
panied by her mother, she went to Cali
fornia in the hope that the restoration 10
her system so much desired would be
gained there But the change bringing
no beneficial results she returned to her
home here on the 18th inst. and in eleven
DAYS from that time death came to her
relief. Miss Sweeney was person pos
sessed of beautiful traits of character, OF
a kind, gentle disposition, lady-like de-
meanor, and withal had that strength of
mind and intellectual bearing that made
her companionable even for those much
older in years. A sweet child OF promise
she has gone hence and may she rest in
peace! In their sore affiiction her loving
parents have the sympathy of our entire
community. The funeral of the de
