Below we give an account of the
troubles in the Pennsylvania coal
mines, which shows the result of the
meagro wages paid the laboring class ::
"Thirty-four more camping coal
miners were arrested last Monday by
the special officers, Mcclure and Nc
Burney, for trespassing on the rail-
road company's property. They were
lodged in the Odd Fellows Hall, and
will be taken to the Washington Jail
in wagons this afternoon. The wives
of Is or 20 of the prisoners came TO
California with babies in their arms
this morning and begged TO be sent
to jail with their husbands, as they
had nothing to live on but little
corn meal. Their requests were not
granted. The citizens are indignant
at the wholesale arrests, which were
made without warrants, and it is
probable that public meeting TO de-
nOuncc the action of the officers will
be called. Four hundred new re-
cruits are expected to arrive in camp
this afternoon The reports from the
Staib's mines i'll the Third Pool indi-
cate serious break in the strike.
One hundred and fifty men it is said
have gone TO work this morning and
Others are weakening and are expect
I'd to 90 i'll before the close of the
week.
"This evening $50 miners with three
brass bands arrived at the camp on
the steamer Alice from the lower
pools. The strikers are very jubilant,
and claim that for every arrest made
there will be four new recruits. Op.
orator Noel went to Pittsburgh to-day
to take counsel as to whether the mi
mrrs' camp can be maintained for the
purpose it is, and cannot be broken
up and the miners forced TO leave Ii
is held by some that merely main
tainnga camp is a violation of the
law

up with so determined a hand, that it
may be said to reach every case of liquor
dealing that is at all likely to arise in
the state. AS the statutes are interpret
ed it is alleged that not only is 1t unlaw-
full to sell and buy, but ever TO have any
business dealings in which the u~nclean
thing may be in the remotest degree
concerned. "Touch not, taste not,
handle not" is the motto, and the pre-
cepts it conveys are carried ont to their
fullest extent. The druggists may not
sell it, the railroads may not carry it, to
keep it in the house Is an unlawful act.
to give it to a friend is criminal, and so
tightly have the lines been drawn that
it is said a traveller passing through may
have his baggage overhauled and pun
ished for being found the possessor Of
even so much as an old-fashioned pocket
pistol.
The Iowa people are evidently of the
opinion that whatever is worth doing at
all is worth doing well, and SO, since
they have entered on the prohibition
experiment, they are resolved to see
that prohibition does prohibit in spite
of the very earnest declaration of not a
few Of its opponents. that it does not.
The progress Of the experiment will be
watched with no little interest, for on
the success of the movement in Iowa
may be said to rest the future of prohi-
bition in the west. The friends of the
cause seem to know this fact as well as
anybody, and hence the tremendous
efforts that are being put forth. If it
fail, prohibition will receive a backset
from which it will be slow to recover, if
it succeed, not many years will clause
ere other states will be found i'm the
wake of Iowa and Kansas and prohibi-
ton will have a boom that may carry it
much further than its advocates at
present imagine.

Cultivation of the Strawberry.

A strawberry grower gives the fol-
lowing directions for cultivating this
fruit: The strawberry may be success
fully grown in any soil adapted to the
growth of ordinary field or garden
crops. The ground should be well
prepared, by trenching or blowing at
least Is or 90 inches deep. and be prop
erly enriched as for any garden crop.
1t is unnecessary to say that if the land
is wet, it must be thoroughly drained.
To cultivate the strawberry, for family
use, we. recommend planting in beds 4
feet wide, with an alley 2 feet wide
between. These beds will accommo-
date three rows of plants, which may
stand Is inches apart each way, and
the outside row 9 inches from the alley.
These beds can be kept clean. and the
fruit can be gathered from them with
out setting the feet upon them. Gull
ture in hills. This is the best mode that
can be adopted for the garden. To OBJ
tain fine. large. high-flavored fruit
pinch off the runners as fast as they
appear, repeating the operation as
often as may be necessary during the
summer and early autumn. Every run
ner thus removed pr duces anew crown
in the centre of the plaut, and in the
fall the plants will have formed large
bushes or stools on which the finest
strawberries may be expected the fol-
lowing season. In the meantime, the
ground among the plants should be
kept clear of weeds and frequently
stirred with a hoe or fork. Covering
in Winter.-Where the winters are
seYere, with little snow for protection,
a slight covering of leaves or litter or
the branches Of evergreens viii be of
great service. This covering should
not be placed over the plants till after
the ground is frozen, usually from the
middle of November till the first of
December in this locality. Fatal er-
rors are often made by putting on too
much and too early. Care must also
be taken to remove the covering in
spring Just as soon as the plants begin
to grow. Mnlching to keep the fruit
clean. Before the fruit begins % ripen
mulch the ground among the plants
with short hay Or straw. Or grass NOW
ings from lawn. 81 anything Of that
sort This win not only keep the fruis
