Naet -7s new La Ws
The following circular has been is
sued by the Commissioner of Pensions
and approved by the Secretary of the
Interior:
The following regulations are pre-
scfihed for the purpose of carrying in
to effect, as speedily as possible, the
provisions of the act of Congress,
approved March 3. 1883, increasing to
$50 month the pension of those who
lost Il leg at or above the knee, or an
arm at or above the elbow, and of
those who have been so disabled as to
be incapacitated for performing any
manual labor, but not 80 much as to
require regular personal aid and at
tendance, and who are now receiving
pensions at the rate of $24 per month (;
and TO $24 per month the pension of
those who have lost one hand or one
foot, or have been totally or perma.
nently disabled in the same, or other
wise SO disabled as to render their in
capacity to perform manual labor
equivalent to the loss of hand or foot,
aiia now receiving SIS per month.
Inasmuch as said act has immediate
effect upon such admitted cases as have
been readj udicated at the rates of $24
aud $l8 per month respectively, no
formal application by the beneficiary
is necessary to be made other than to
forward to the Commissioner of Pen
sions the pension certificate, accompa-
MED by letter stating. in the hand
writing of the pensioner, his present
postoffice address. AS soon as possible
after the receipt of the pension certifi
cate aforesaid, the Commissioner will

to the proper pension agent, to inscribe
the name of such pensioner on the
roll at the increased rate, and to make
to the pensioner the proper payment.
In case of amputation, the certificate
will be reissued without any further
medical examination.
The Intervention of the agent or at
torney in such admitted cases as are
affected by this act being unnecessary,
will not be recognized,

ALBANY, N. Y, March 16th.-The
Delevan House caught fire this morn
ing from the kitchen. The halls rap
idly filled with smoke, aud the cry Of
fire was raised. 1t was about half-past
three in the morning, and the guests
were in bed. There were 106 guests in
the house. They were aroused by the
cry of fire and by pounding on the
doors, aud there was a great panic.
Men and women rushed from their
rooms and down into the street, clad
only in their night garments. Women
screamed and several tainted and had
to be carried out. One woman fell
down stairs and was severely injured.
The flames were kept in check and the
fire did rot spread beyond the kitchen.
Athalf-past four they were extinguish-
cd and the guests returned.

of quiet request that the Legislature
would come to your relief. Quietly
done. gentlemen. Sharp practice. TO
have made public thing of petition
would have called out a remonstrance,
and it would not have been Us we'll to
have had all the facts brought before
the Legislature for if they had been,
it is quite doubtful If they would have

question does pot admit of doubt. If

| One word. Mr. Editor, about the
pretended necessity of such building.
There may have been and probably
was necessity for school house in
the northeast part of the village, sucn
as was contemplated by the people
when they voted the ten thousand
dollars appropriation. But that the
present structure was necessity [
don't believe; and that anybody else
believed il to be q necessity in the in
terest Of education, [ must be permit
ted TO doubt. think the only neces-
sity of such p building may be found
in the interest of parties having axes
to, grind;
SO far as 3 necessity is claimed in
ottier to have a place for a suitable
high school room, it is ali = fiction. Il
only requires the removal Of a tempo
rary partition in the Union Scboo
building, which was placed there some
six or seven years ago, to have restored
the original high school room to abou
t twice its present capacity, and thi
: fact must have been known 10 th'
| Board.
Now, it is not a particularly pleasan
/ occupation TO be finding fault will
public officers, ana especially Schoo
Board. A long experience as a mem
j., Der of School Board has familiarize
/ the writer with its cares and perpleXi
; ties, and yet when public officer c
officers forget Or entirely disregard til
lega! rights of their constituents, the

THE total number of persoas en-
ployed in the manufactures of Ohio,
in 1880, was 1873 sos, and the wages
they received was $62, ,l03, 500 The
co,t of the material used was $2l5, 5,334,-
25S, and the value of the product was
S348, ,29s, 800. 1t will be seen from this
that the labor is about 224 per cent OF
the cost of the product, and that the
profits-the difference between the
cost and value of the products about
S51 per cent. The average wages PAID
each laborer per year is $338, or Sl,oSb
per day. The five protected = ln-
dustries of iron aud steel, lumber, cot

A Big Scare.

LONDON, March ia terrific gas
explosion in the local government
board offices at Westminster occurred
at O'Clock tonight, destroying much
property. The report was heard in the
house of commons, and caused much
alarm. The conclusion was so great
that it shook the side galleries and the
reporters gallery. 1t being the dinner
hour, but few members of the house
were in the hall. No onewas injured
The widest rumors are aiioat. The
report resem bled the discharge of an
eighty ton gun.
It is believed the explosion was caus,
ed by dynamite, and was deliberate
attempt to blow up the government
offices. The officers of the gas com
pany declare that they can tind no
evidences that it was caused by gas.
The force of the explosion shot large
portions of the masonry across the
street.

DAKOTA FOR VEGETABLES.
Vegetables grow prolific iii Dakota.
Potatoes develop in ten days after seed
ing, and have to oe dug out with show
els and rolled into the wagon over a
gang plank. Pumpkin vines have to
be tied TO pest one week after they
are out Of the ground. ('What for ?'')
C'Why?'0 They ruu out into the
prairie with the pumpkins, and we
couldn't catch them till frost struck
'em, and by that time they might be
up in Manitoba or out in Bismark.
l have seen turnips grown here at
Tower City that had to be pulled out
OF the ground with a derrick and they
roofed the hole over and used it for an
underground stable all Winters "a warm
stable for animals. The way we find
water, we just plant a carrot seed
where we want a well, and in thirty
days we pull up the carrot, and put
curbing into the hole. rney never

ty days i'll our country, any time. |
mean at Tower City. They are always
blowing about wheat here. But let
me tell you something about oats. 1
never saw the like till last Years crop.
We built e saw mill on our farm 10
saw the kernels, in order that horses
can take them into their mouth. We
estimate that the production of one
acre of oats will keep fifty head of
horses during their natural lifetime.
We are all well and prospering cut
here in Gods country, and have struck

son struck Tower City one. half past

THE Republicans of the Legislature
of this State have not yet made any
provision. for submitting a constitu-
tional amendment to vote in compli-
ance with the pledge upon which they
were elected, nor is there much pros
pect Of their doing so. They have a
t yo-tl .ds majority of members, which
i, more than enough to enable them
to pass resolution to suhmitan amend
ment to a vote of the people, but they
are so fearfully torn up on the question
that there is little probability of their
accomplishing anything. Still, when
the session is ended they will have the
brazen impudence to endeavor to shift
the entire responsibility of their failure
upon the Democratic minority.
