have been an agreeable place to him

The engine in the river mill of
Fletcher, Pack q Co., has been taken
to pieces, and is to be sent to Detroit.
1t will be replaced by a new one, that
will be more fitted for the heavy work
that is required by a saw mill. In
the old engine, the cylinder was rails
ed too far above the bed, and was un-
able to stand the pressure exerted on
it. In a saw mill the power required
from an engine is much heavier when
all the saws are cutting logs, than it
is when they are not cutting logs, and
thus the strain on the engine is un-
even. 1t therefore requires a more
solidly built engine than in mills
where the strain is comparatively
even.

War Against Hunearians.

Scottdale, Pa, ga war against
Hungarians has been inaugurated,
and tonight the following circular
was posted throughout the coke
country:
Citizens of the commonwealth of
PennSy 007liG:
One Of the most degrading i'm
positions ON the people or the COM
mOnwealth is the wholesale impor-
tation Of Slavonians Enormously
known as Hungarians) into the
Connellsville coke region, is a per-
nlclous custom which must imme-
diately end, and the serfs returned,
and for the following reasons: These
beings are crOwding out our miners
and labOrers, who are established and
good citizens, from employment and
homes. They will not become nat
uralized citizens, but in a limited
time return to Hungary with what
cash they can save, thereby draining
the district Of many thousand dol
lars annually. They are extremely
fifty In their habits, living on what
American people could not eat.
Their morals are the lowest of any
Caucasian race, being the lowest of
any class of laborers that ever in
hablted this country; living
promIScuouSly, regardless Of
marital relations, and are
interruptions in all their trans
actions, and their intelligence is the
lowest in the scale of any class of
people in the country to-day. Only
about five per cent. can read and
write. being far below the average
Chinaman. Much time and labor
have been lost by all classes in
trying to elevate these people
against their will, but all without
avail. Their habits grow worse the
longer they stay, until they can no
longer be endured. Forbearance
has ceased to be a virtue. People |
who are degrading American labor,
are an injury to our commerce, and |
q blot upon the commonwealth not |
TO De endured. American labor, as
well tasi American manufactures,
must be protected.

Church Division.

Winnipeg, Man, pa moves
ment has been set on foot here by
Baptists to secure separation from
the Church of Eastern Canada, be-
cause of tie apathy shown by the
latter in the mission work of the
northwest. It is proposed that the
church here unite with the Ameri-
can Baptist church. In this con-
nection 1t is urged by the promoters
OF the change that the motto of the
American Home Mission society is
North America for Christ" that
catholic spirit can embrace us and
however keenly we may feel this
separation, and however deeply we
may regret the circumstances which
led to it. The necessity of the work,
our duty to Christ and our adopted
land remain to control those feelings
and those regrets.

is no surprise, IS he was well aware
what was intended regarding the
Coulton suit. There is no specific
claim set up, it is simply suit for
the settlement of ColtOn's interest.
The attorney who is pushing the
claim, it is understood, is doing so
for q percentage and what he may
make out of it, and failing in his
object receives nothing. Cotton
died in 1878 and year later we
settled with Mrs. Cotton. Stanford
and Croker went to Huntington
and said, "let US give Mrs. Cotton
enough" She was given $780, Oe IN
money, tie balance in securities.
While the condition OF the finances
of the road was still weak, IL paid
her 80 per cent for her bonds. He
was willing to give Lewis, who was
called in to assist in
the settlement and known to have
plenty of money, 100000 to step
into Mrs. COltOn's shoes and reap
all the benefits with them while
sharing the assessments, but he
would not do it. The widow carried
off from the railroad Office Colton's
effects, including his business letters
ON file. These subsequently fell
iRtO an attorneys hands and are
now being used to extort money
Huntington said further that he was
assured some time ago that he could
make a settlement if he wished, but
he said he had no cause to COM
promise. If judgment should
be obtained, which he does
not believe can be done, he will
appeal the case to the United States
court. Huntington said further that
he had been in business fifty years
and did not think any man could
come to him and charge any fraud
ulent or improper action. He was
willing to submit to the inspection
Of honorable men all he had done,
and be was prepared to maintain all
be had said.

An Enthusiastic Endorsement

GoRHAM, n. 81 July a, 1879.
GENTs:-Whoever you are don't
know; bat l thank the Lord and
feel grateful to you to know that in
this world of adulterated medicines
there is one compound that proves
and does all it adVertises to do, and
more. Four years ago had a slight
shock Of palsy, which unnerved me
to such an extent that the least ex-
element would make me shake like
the ague. Last May l was induced
to try Hop Bitters. l used one
bottle, but did not see any change;
another did so change my nerves
that they are now as steady as they
ever were. It used to take both
hands to write, but now my good
right hand writes this. Now, if
you continue to manufacture as
honest and good an article as you do,
you will accumulate an honest for
tune, and confer the greatest bless
ing on your fellow-men that was
ever conferred on mankind.
