COLUMBUS, o., December 3l.--The
officers of the Hocking-Valley railway
and Coal Exchange report everything
quiet in the Valley this morning, though
they express the opinion that there will
be some trouble tonight. They say
the demonstrations last night failed to
take an active form for the reason that
the strikers were met with such strong
force of guards at the point where they
expected to make an attack. They
consider the unusual demonstrations at
this time as an effort TO keep the miners
from breaking from their ranks and go
ing to work, as many of them have de-
cided to do. Early this morning seve-
raj shots were fired at Happy Hollow.

December 81, 1884.
The Norwegian bark Lena, from the
South Sea islands TO Philadelphia with
a cargo of sugar, struck on Hog-Island
shoals Saturday and went to pieces
on the following day. The high sea run
ming at the time prevented the life
saving crew from going to the wreck
in the surl-boat, which was stove twice
in attempting TO launch. The vessel
being eight hundred yards from shore
could not be reached by the life-car
lines. OF the crew, eight were drowned
and two saved. The vessel and cargo
are total loss. Two of the survivors
are cared for at the lfe-saying station.
1t was the highest sea within the
