GOSHEN FURNACE.-It is now pretty de-
finitely settled that Victoria Furnace, at
Goshen, will resume operations as soon as
the necessary repairs can be made. which
will probably take about thirty days to
complete. The furnace has been leased by
G. P. Huntington and a party of Pennsyl-

the more gratifying it will be to the people
hereabouts.- Chiffon Forge Independent.

Demands of the Knights of Labor.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The committee
of Knights of Labor appointed at the meet
ing of the general assembly, held at Cleve-
land, Ohio, have sent letter to Speaker
Carlisle, and copies to Representatives
Randall and Morrison, in which they refer
to the appointment by the General As
sembly Of the Knights of Labor of a COM
mittee of three to request Congress to pass
certain laws. The committee say they have
selected few measures, and have sent out
several thousand copies to their different
branches throughout. the country for
signatures and Endorsements from the peo-
pie, and expect to be able in a few days
to present to Congress these petitions,
with the Endorsements of at least five hun
dred thousand signatures.
The following is a brief summary of the
petitions they ask the passage of: 1, House
bill No. 1887, repeating timber culture,
presumption and desert land acts; 2, House
bill No. 1921, for the adjustment of rail
road and other land grants: 3, bills forfeit
ing all railroad land grants the conditions

directing disbursement of at least $780,
900, 900 treasury surplus, and substituting
treasury notes for bank notes retired.
The committee add: s'The party Of which
you are member is in the majority by
some forty votes, and we, therefore, look
to the majority party to enact the neces-
sary legislation. We find the groundwork
of nearly every one of them laid down in
the democratic platform adopted at Chicago
in 1884, on which the present majority of
the dominant party was elected. We find
that paragraph three of our memorial is
fully covered by that document. We also
find that the last paragraph in eur memoir
al ought to meet with your hearty approval
from the clause in the Chicago platform on
that subject. Therefore we are asking the
dominant party only to fulfill the promises
that it made to the people when it was
seeking their suffrages. We do not ask
your party to support these measures. We
only look to you and your party to see that
the measures are brought forward and sub
mitted to the House for it's action, and we
are willing to trust them to the good judg-
ment of the members, regardless of party"

AFFAIRS AT THE PooR-HoUSE.- e. A. Fulch-

ware appointed Committee by the Board of
Supervisors to repair to the County Poor house
and make careful survey of the public prop
erty at that establishment and report. This
they have done in a long itemized account.
Some of the items may be given as follows:-
Nine head of horses and colts. S515. Nineteen
head of cattle, S235. Fifteen hogs, $500. Forty
five acres in wheat estimated at $3.50, &C., &c. -
the gross sum being S2,442.S0. The establish
ment from the schedule appears to have an ex-
cellent ont fit, and the retiring Superintend-
emit, Mr.. Beard, 1t is evident was good mana
GER Referring to him, the inmates all speak
of him in the kindest manner
During the year past, 81 inmates were cared
for. During the year, five deaths occurred and
nineteen discharged. Several of them, both
white and black and of both sexes, are very
old and helpless. A few of the remaining num-
Der are able to render some service.
Several buildings are. worn out, and really
not worth repairing. Some repairs for tenn
porary comfort will be necessary; but the Com
mittee is of opinion that 1t would be economy
to put up one or more new buildings.
