he scene at the mine at Naticoke, Pa,
must have been one Of the most heart
Eending that could be imagined. Twenty
three miners are imprisoned in the mine
and men were working night and day to
sescus them if possible from their impeud-

the unfortunate men were suffering in sw.

days to bring deliverance, comes the sad
announcement that the work is given up
IN despair Of ever reaching the men alive
This presents one OF the most tragic

At the next meeting of the fire depart
ment the city will be requested to issue
hereafter, monthly, to each company a
warrant for $40 to he expended by the
company TO cover the expenses now borne
by the city for i%anitors, coal, wood, oil,
stationery, advertising, expressage, rubber
coats and i~ncidentals. This will make a
total of about 81 40 per year Tor the fire
department, which is not as much as it
would cost to pay one man in each com
pany. The companies desire tins in order
that they may control their W expendi-
lures and use the money paid by the city
in the most economical way. and at the
same time put it where it will do the most
good. This will also relieve the fremen
of the payment of dues, which are unjust
anyhow. In short, the request is a rea-
sonable one and should readily be aceeded
to by the council. The iiremen protect
the property Of the city without pay
indeed their payment Of dues for the
support of their respective companies is
nothing less than a payment for the
privilege of doing the people a great
service-and the department should be
fostered rather than gmmLled at.

The Laramie Boomerang has the fol.
lowing:
"A gentleman who has Just returned
from a trip through the northern and
western portions Of the territory reports
that the Indians are allowed to wander off
s%eventy-five or one hundred miles from
their reservations; that they herd up the
elk, deer and antelope, drive them into a
pocket, and kill everything from a calf to
a bull. Hunters who go ont are equally
unsparing, and as a usual thing kill much
more game than they have any use for.
The legitimate hunt is a source of great
pleasure to the hunters, but it is too bad
that hundreds of animals are being killed
off, Of which only the hides are ever
brought in. 1t will be but a short time
until the bear, the deer and the antelope
will disappear, as has the buffalo, unless
some steps ore taken to prevent a whole
sale slaughter, which is now the rule"

CONCERNING THE LEGIsLArURG
Instructions from the Authorities at

Hon, h S, N. Morgan, secretary Of

from the first comptroller of the treasury,
which explains itself.
SIR: In response to your letter dated
Oct. l5,1ss5, regarding the a%pportionment
and the election Of members of the legis-
lature in Wyoming Territory, you are adj
yised that, as doubt exists as to legal
ity of the election of the members of the
legislature, to be held in January and
February, 1856, under the acts of con-
gress and the territorial a%pportionment
act of June 3, 1850, and March 10, 1882.
respectively, it will be better not to dis
burse any money in preparing for the
ninth Legislative session, to convene on
the 10Th of January next, until further
instructed. The delegate IRON Wyoming
will be furnished with a copy of your let
ter. advised of this action, and requested
to bring the matter before congress for its
determination thereon.

as follows from Laramie CITY.
Il I'M gratiiird to learn that the popu-
lation Of Cheyenne has been increased by
two in the persons of Capt. A. p. Foster
and wife, formerly of New York, but re-
Gently of Kalamazoo, Mich. Capt. Foster
is a genial mar and a gentleman of large
hotel experience. He served with great
distinction through the late war in the
United States navy, and his g~allantry in
action on several occasions has been hon.
orably mentioned in the congress Of the
United States. You will find him a gen
tleman in every sense of the word, and il
he fails to give the people of your city a

Comptroller Durham's letter of ~instruc-
tons to Secretary Morgan, published in
this issue, settles one point in the contro-
versy regarding our Legislature, and that
is that we shall have no session unless
congressional legislation is previously OBJ
tanned. 1t seems to rest with Delegate
elect Carey to determine in what direction
congressional action shall be had. If he
is disposed to act without prejudice and
uninfluenced by party demands, he will
take the safe side, the side which will
meet the approval of a great majority of
the people in all the various sections of
this territory, and favor a new election,
thus RELOCATING the matter to the people
and bringing about a full representation
of all the counties, old and new, in the
next legislature. If Judge Carey will
take this course and thus avoid all oppo-
sition in his efforts to secure congressional
action in this matter, a legislature may
yet be chosen this winter and a session
may be had within sixty or ninety days.
II net, he will meet the SAME opposition
which faced him in Washington last
March, and the result will be that con.
gress will take no action, or that con-
gressional legislation on this subject will
be delayed until adjournment next sum
mer.
