A Equeeze al JeaneaYille.

Last Mondays Hazleton Plain Speak
er gives the following: Mine cave-ins
nowadays appear to be very numerous
in this region, several having occurred
during the past two weeks. Jeanesville,
which has more mine holes than any
mining town in the region, was the scene
last Friday of much excitement and
anxiety, owing to about three acres of
the surface over No. l slope in the
vicinity of the lower school building set
tling down eight inches causing the
women and children to beat a rapid
retreat from their homes. In a short
time household furniture was being
thrown about promiscuously on the
street, by women who were greatly
alarmed lest they should be engulfed in
the bowels of the earth. II was only
after much fright that their excitement
was calmed. Over the surface the
report sounded like the low peal of dis
tant thunder but In the mine 1t was
high sounding and deafening, the con-
cussion forcing articles of all descriptions
in various directions, tearing out brad
ishes, doors and turning cars over. The
miners who were employed when the
squeeze occurred had narrow escape
from being killed. Their lights were
extinguished several hundred yards from
where the cave-in occurred, so great was
the force of the conclusion, and 1t was
only after great difficulty that they
reached place of safety. A miner
named Patrick IIacket was so beside
himself as to venture back for his tools
when suddenly fall occurred, putting
out his light. and throwing him into an
old "dip'. He extricated himself after
much exertion and to the astonishmeni
of his associates, who cautioned him
about the venturesome trip he was going
on. he returned. without serious iniurie:
being inflicted on his person. The
squeeze on the surface was the result Of
the pillars and the mammoth vein. which
are upper most. giving away. Severa'
old "dips' which are filled with water
had their contents forced out by the
falls, thus flooding the mine for som'
time.

Hungarians Arrested.

On Sunday night, about II O'Clock,
John Mayer appeared before Justice
Beckhardt, of East Mauch Chunk, and
swore out warrant for the arrest of
Mike Letzko and George Bladisher,
Hungarians, charging them with assault
and battery with intent to kill Paul
Keffershmit and others. Keffershmit
is said to be in critical condition, and
his recovery is doubtful. Letzko and
Baldisher were arrested and taken before
Justice Beckhardt for hearing, and, in
default of bail, were committed to Jail
to await trial at the next court of
quarter sessions. -MauchC Chunk Gazette.

When all the autumn leaves were pressed
Sighs from the maiden's bosom came;
Her heart with sorrow was oppressed
For life was now without an aim.
But, rs one pleasure takes its flight,
Another comes, and grief's assuaged;
The maiden has new delight
In horticulture she's engaged.
The upright grand no more she plays,
The banjo's strings no more she thrums
Enraptured by the latest craze
She cultivates chrysanthcmums.

Setting Ont Cabbage Plants.

Setting out plants during rain is
desirable. inasmuch as the evaporation
is moderate Setting them out before
a rain is still better. Cloudy weather,
with the atmosphere full of moisture.
is equally advantage In regard to
preserving the roots or stripping them
off, it is better to preserve the roots,
provided they are not allowed to dry
and shriyel up by exposure to the air.
If the roots are kept intact, or if the
roots which are broken off short dis
lance from the tips are kept SO moist
that they will speedily callous over and
then throw out fresh roots, the plants
will suck up water from the soil and
s'hardly feel the moving" But if, on
the other hand, the fbrous roots are
allowed to shrivcl up, they had better
be removed altogether and let the stem
throw out new ones. In regard to
whether it is better to set out the
plants as soon as possible, or to- let
them wilt in the cellar, much will de-
pend on the weather. It may well be
chat a fresh plant, full Of sap, by ex-
posture after transplanting, to our hot
sun may shrivel up, so rapidly that the
leaves may be reduced to powder
and callous over and throw out new
fibres to suck up water from the soil:
In the shade in cool, moist place, the
leaves part, with their sap slowly and
the roots heal over and when set out
new roots. are formed before the COM
paratively dry leaves part with the

Swlne.Raising and P0rk-Making.

ter, when 1t should be killed. The
young pigs should come during March
and April, and be fed all they will eat
throug III the summer. During moder-
ate fall weather, most of the corn fed
at that time goes to the making of sal
able pork. while in cold weather,
much of the feed is used in keeping
up the animal heat. It is then plain
enough that pound of pork can be
made more cheaply during early fall
than in winter. Pork products
lard, sausage, ETC., as a general rule,
bring better prices in the fall than
they do later. There may sometimes
occur necessity for late feeding,
when it may be done protitably
enough. Last autumn, the corn in
many sections was badly injured by
the early frost, so that where there
were large fields in corn there often
were large quantities of soft, unsala-
bic corn. Cattle were high in price,
and hogs low, because many had not
corn enough to fatten them. Those
who had enough poor corn to carry
their hogs through until after New
Years realized the high midwinter
prices for their pork, and made winter
feeding pay. Where winter feeding is
attempted. the hogs should be provid-
ed with good warm pens. Ordinary
pens may be made quite comfortable
for hogs by lining them on the inside
of the studding, SO as to leave space
of four inches between this lining and
the outside Notwithstanding. Fill

wearer has a good neck and does not
pass the limit Of modesty, but such an
array of bony, withered, pimpled, red
and brown necks are barred on state
occasions here as would justify legal

A New Name for 1t.

In the spring time of 1864 the 'front.'
Ter division of the Seventh army corps,
Gen. John M. Thayer commanding,
was. encamped at Fort smith, Ark.
Communication being almost entirely
cut off, supplies were low and the
army did considerable in the foragingi
line. On one of these expeditions a
clerk at department.. headquarters,
Wiley Britton, who was very fine
writer and apt scholar, went out with
a party of scouts south of the Poteau,
a stream that empties into the Arkan-
sas just above Fort Smith. They ran
upon company of Texas rangers, and
in a skirmish with them he got shot
through the left wrist. Returning he
reached Fort Smith and was laid up
for some days. before his wound heal
ed and he was fit for duty again. He
then got it into his head that fighting
was not particularly his fort, since his
wound, neither was writing, and he
desired to get back to his old home in
Missouri. He went to Gen. Thaycr
and asked for a discharge, but the
general, thinking he was too valuable
man to let off for SO slight wound,
refused to let him go, saying he did
not well see how he could dispense
with 50 valuable and apt a clerk. Wiley
knowing had some influence with the
general, being at that. time on de-
tatched service at headquarters, en-
listed me in his service to procure his
discharge. I got out a set of papers
and took them down to the surgeon,
who was like myself originally a
Pennsylvania. He made him out a
certificate and strongly recommended
his discharge, COUGHING the certificate
in terms peculiar to surgical science.
took the certificate, got Brit
toms company. officers to endorse
it and then went with him to
the headquarters to Gen. Thayer. As
we entered the room the general, who
was sitting by the table, said to Brit
ton: you are still wanting to go
home, are youp" He replied affirm
atively. I then presented the certiti-
cate. The general looked at it and
said: s'Read it." l read: This certi-
ties this soldier is truly entitled to a
discharge. l certify it on examination,
after due consideration, case of
necrosis of the right radius of the fore

"What is athatp That beats my
