The hospital at Drifton, erected by
Coke Bros. & Co., was closed this week
Since the Miners Hospital at Hazleton
has been opened there has been no
necessity for its existence, and in short
while it will be transformed into an in
dustrial school, From charity point of
view the benefits derived from this hos
pital by those injured about the mines
have been inestimable, and many an
unfortunate gave thanks for the kind
treatment received at the institution.
Superintendent II. d. Miller will take a
position in Chicago.

Selling Building Lots.

The building lots of the Birkbeck es-
tate, north of town, are being rapidly
taken up, the low price at which they
are sold making very desirable invest
ment Mrs. G. w. Hadesty, of Drifton,
and High Constable Rinker purchased
one each this week, and several other
parties are negotiating with the owners.
In buying these lots it is stipulated that
the purchasers will erect building there
on within six months, the same to cost
not less than $500. Freeland will soon
have another large suburb looming up
on that side of the town.

The passengers of No. ~ on the Le-
high Valley, due here at S.37 P. NJ, had
narrow escape from being involved in
wreck on Tuesday evening while COM
ing up the grade. When near the switch
leading to the Drifton Shops the engine,
for some reason of its own, jumped the
track and went dancing over the railroad
ties for nearly 300 feet. 1t fortunately
failed to entice the coaches along and
was brought under control before any
serious damage was done. Beyond a
good shaking up the passengers suffered
little inconvenience, but they were
thankful the accident did not occur on
some portions of the road where the
danger would be much greater.

Old Times.

The 22nd day of May was celebrated in Tucson, it being the 29th anniver- sary of the capture of the ancient pueblo by the California Column.
 Charley Shibell was then mule driver, Fred Hughes a sergeant and John D. Walker, now in the Napa Asylum, was assistant wagon master The Tucson Citizen gives the follow ing account of the event:
 On the 22d of May 1862, the advance guard of the famous California Column consisting of detail of 400 II en under charge of Lieut. Col. Joseph R. West, let the main body of 25OO men at Pima Village now more spontaneously known as Maricopa, and advanced on Tucson, then in possession of the con federate Captain Hunter, in charge of skeleton troop of the Texas Rangers Over the sands and through t.:e cacti the Californians came and the confed crates at once decided that the heated term of Arizona was no longer bear able and made back to the coolness of the Rio Grande with all possible speed. The capture of Tucson was therefore bloodless and peaceable and itremained in the hands of the same troops till the war closed when they were succeeded by companies of the Sixth and Seventh U s cavalry.
