Farm Values in Pennsylvania.

A Philadelphia despatch gives a
chapter of facts about the decline of
farm values in Pennsylvania which
shows the condition of things down
there is not materially different from
what it is in Vermont and New
Hampshire. J. III. Wallace, editor
of Wallace's Monthly of New York,
standard stock publication, wishing
lately to buy a farm near his old
home, advertised for farm in the
southern portion of Allegheny county
or the northern part of Washington
county. He received 1872 offers of
land, and from the investigation
which he made in his search for a
farm to his taste Mr.. Wallace gained
information which convinces him that
the decline of farm values in Western
Pennsylvania has amounted to % to
40 per cent. In the eastern part Of
the state, this despatch says, it is the
same Out of 10 farms offered for
sale in Montgomery county during
the past fortnight, and most of them
in the rich agricultural district Of
Lower Providence, only two found
purchasers, the rest being withdrawn
because of the low price bid. In
Cumberland county, one of the gar
den spots of the state, it is said that
40 farms have been offered for sale
this year, but hardly purchaser has
been found.
This, to be sure, does not make
things better for Vermont farmers,
but it shows what has been main
tanned steadily in these columns, that
our farmers are not the only ones
that have difficulties to contend with
and new conditions to meet, and that
simply getting out of the state will
not furnish a remedy for any existing
evil.
Moreover, it seems to us that in
bringing to light information like the
above, Commissioner Valentines
work is doing good in more ways
than one.

Think This Over.

Among the many letters received
bv Commissioner Valentine in rela-
ton to the abandoned" farms of
Vermont, SAYS the Burlington Free
Press is one worthy of more than
passing notice. An agent of Ger
man immigration company writes
that in his opinion the choicest tracts
of land In the West suitable for colo
nization purposes, that can be had at
low figures, are being rapidly taken
up. This man says that from what
he has seen and read he inclines to
the opinion that Vermont presents as
many attractions to the settler at this
time as that portion of the western
country where he has been engaged
in locating German immigrants. This
letter may have no special signifi-
canoe so far as the immediate
settlement of abandoned farms in
this state is concerned, but it is very
significant as one of the signs of the
times, indicating that the West can
not forever offer inducements to agri-
culturists that cannot be matched by
the. East, and that it is only a ques-
ton of time when the stream of pop
ulation will flow back from the West
to the East. We have been accus-
toned to regard such return of the
wanderers as something possible In
the future, in fifty or hundred
years, but inquiries like the above in
dictate that the time may be much
nearer than we think-in fact, that it
may be right upon us. To claim that
the West is getting crowded, or that
there is no longer room for settlers
would be foolishness but attention
has been repeatedly called of late to
the obvious fact that the vast tracts
of rich lands that have invited the at
tention of settlers from New England
are not so numerous as was the case
% years ago, and that with our rap
idly-growing population the time
must soon come when the values of
farming lands West and East shall
be more evenly balanced Here is
opportunity for any amount of specu-
lation on the part of those who think
Vermont is irretrievably ruined.

The Greater Curse.
The Herald and Presbyterian, re-

The Herald and Presbyterian, re-
ferring to this subject, says:
Zone thing is sure, the saloons
have been giving Johnstown more
trouble since the flood than anything
else. Their buildings were erected
at once (now numbering fifty-one) &,
literally over the bodies of the dead
and a flood of destruction started
which day and night, year in and
year out, swallows up human beings
in its Unsuitable NAV of death. One
young man, whose father, and the
rest of the family persisted in the
food, hurried up building on the
old site, began the sale of liquor, and
a couple Of days after exhumed the
dead body of his father from under
the saloon. Hardly anything could
more forcibly demonstrate the de-
pravity of the traffic. Good people,
alive to the peril, demonstrated with
the judge in vain; although he who
had dotted the town with saloons Of
fered to revoke the town with licenses
provided the Johnstown officials
would request it. And yet the city
authorities declined to make such a
petition"
What these re-established saloons
are doing for Johnston is indicated
by the Johnstown Tribune which de-
clares -
"There are three or four hundred
dirty, lazy, theiving vagabonds loaf
ing about the saloons and on the
streets, in half or wholly drunken
condition, rendering it absolutely I'M
safe much of the time for either wo-
men or respectable men to be at
large
Public sympathy, very naturally
and very properly, was greatly moved
by the destructive flood to extend re-
lief to the surviving Johnstown suf-
ferers. This sympathy ought now to
be directed against the alcoholic flood
by which they are still imperilled.

A workman the other evening
when speaking at temperance
meeting excused himself for his
dress. "But," said he, "I've come
in my best trousers. And this is

THE DIsAsTER IH CALIFORNIA. How she sixteen men Were Buried
 Alive in . mine-TvO Dead Bodies
 ExhuMed-NS Hope Fer she Others.
 SAN ANDREAs, Cal, Dec. M.-A disas- trous cave in occurred on Sunday evening in the Lane mine, owned by Howard & Hobart, located on the west edge of the Angela, by which sixteen men were buried.
 Nineteen men were sent into the drift on the 400 foot level to repair the timbering, when suddenly the supports of the upper %timbers swerved to the right, and the roof ing, earth and rocks fell, burying sixteen men. Thomas Corwin and two Italians were working near the mouth of the drift, and managed to escape, although Corwinwas bad ly injured.
 There is no hope of rescuing the other sixteen miners who were buried. Work ing parties have found two dead bodies, but it is feared they will not be able to reach the other victims for several weeks. It is be- lieved that all of the sixteen men were crushed to death by falling rock. Three of the victims-Thomas Knusky, George Will Hams and J. Brady-leave widows and ohil- dren. The names of the others are: Knick Enoch, B. Segale, Peter Pernio, o. Bertro, Paul Owsovitch, John Buioletto, John Tobo- co, O. A. Pollard, Joseph Curnow, John Martin. Mitchell Broadwick, James Casey and William Vincent.
 Information reached here this afternoon that the surface of the mine at Angel Camp in which the disaster occurred Sunday has caved down to depth of forty feet and the cave extends along the vein from the north shaft to the south shaft with width of 30 feet. This makes it necessary to stop all work of recovering the bodies. There is lit- tie doubt that the hoists have been drawn in- to the cave.
