Mr. James 3. Drake, after some years of study
TO contrive some machine for rapidly unloading
and stacking or ricking hay, or to NOW it in
barns, has succeeded in getting up IN invention
which exactly fills this long and much needed
contrivance He has obtained patent upon it,
and IS now selling them in this county, and has
sold large number of them to farmers through
out the state, and all who have used them pro.
nounce them a most decided success. The con-
trivance consists of rope OF rod of iron, any
desired length, strung from end to end through
the peak of barn roof, or from tree to tree in
the timber, or from elevated poles attached at
the top by n rope or pins, and lar apart enough
to brace each other at the bottom, supported by
a rope. On the rope or rod shive runs freely
to and fro and at one end is a simpl Q contri,
vance which drops Il rope, to which is attached
the litter. This is an ingenious coutrivance,
which can be driven into a load OF hay two and
q half feet deep, merely by the hands. Then d
bar is moved, causing the knife to become Q fork
with prongs running laterally under the hay
This fork will clear an ordinary load OF hay al
from four to six forkfuls, at the rate of fork
tul per minute A horse draws rope, which
through puleys, raises the iorkful to the top rope
or bar, then the load and shive run along the bar
or top rope to the desired place, wherever tbs
stacker may desire. In this way the largest load
| of hay may be entirely taken off and stacked il
| from four to seven minutes.

As far as we could learn yesterday afternoon there
was but one or two cOlerles working on the eight
hour system IN this region and the men agreed TO
reduction OF twenty per cent in wages-that Is, re-
duCtOn OF twenty per cent on the basis OF 1861 One
colliery started at the 1863 basis fOy this month,
only while the colery is getting under way, after
which they are to be subject to gradual reduction
OF ten per cent for every TWENTY-FIVE cents the price
OF coal falls below three dollars per tOn This ap-
Plies to abOrers well as to miners. In the Lehgh
region there are two coer1es working on the eight
hour system, with corresponding reduction OF
wages. The Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron
COmpany's men are working eight hours, ut
corresponding reduction in wages. The
Union Coal Company refused TO work on the
eight hour system. II was rumOred yesterday that
the Philadelphia Coal COmpany's men at the Colo.
RADIO cOlllery demanded eight hours work and ten
hours pay. This was declined, ana they quit work.
At the other coliery the men continued to work at
eight hours with the understanding that they were
to receive nay accordingly So we were informed
yesterday. Up TO the time OF going TO press we had
no further information. The coal operators are firm
and awaiting any proposition the men choose to
make for their consideration. They win NOT go to

A ~nn Murdered ana Thrown Into tho River


The Missouri Democrat of April says:-


On Saturday morning last, some fishermen
saw the body of man floating in the eddy,
between the mouth of Cahokia creek and the
Pittsburg dyke, on the Illinois shore. They
went out in skiff, caught the body and towed
it to the east shore. Captain McLane, of the
East st. Louis Metropolitan Police Force, was
notified, and he teegraphed to Belleviile to the
Coroner of st. Clair county, Mr.. Torg, who was
unable to attend to the case till yesterday.


Upon examining the body of the deceased, it
was discovered that foul murder had been
committed. The head of the victim was beaten
almost to jelly, apparently with q stick of
wood or some dull instrument. The legs were
crossed below the knees, and tied tight with a
a check gingham handkerchief was tied, with
made fast to something, probably heavy
weight to sink the body.


The remains had the appearance of having
been in the water some four or five days.


The following is a description of the de-
ceased-fve feet eight inches in height, blue
eyes, dark hair, short cut grey whiskers, and the
age of the man when living probably about fifty
years. He had on brown woolen knit jacket,
blue check overshirt, grey flannel undershlrt,
white and black striped cashmere pants, woollen
drawers, white woolen socks and heavy boots.


The palms of the hands of the deceased were
hard and had the appearance of being those of q
laboring man The pockets were empty, and
there was nothing whatever found on the body
to indicate the name or lead to the identification
except what is given above. The verdict of the
Coroner's jury was that the unknown deceased
had been murdered.

TORONTO, April I'm the House of Com
mons last night Mr.. Cameron asked If the Gov
ernment had any farther intelligence from the
Red River, and whether they were in position
to give any further information than had al
ready been laid before the House; also, what the
Government intended to do in reference to the
murder that had recently taken place at Fort
Garry.


Mr.. John A. Mcdonald said he could only
state that the Government was fully aware of
and appreciated the gravity of their position.
We have done all we could during the winter,
and, indeed. ever since the events of last Octo-
Der, till now. We understand and fully appre-
ciate the responsibility that rests upon us, and
may say we have been IN constant communica-
ton with Her Majestys Government. l may
add, further, that the two governments are in
accord and in union, and for one object, and
that is to retain that country as q portion of
Her Majesty's dominion, and to assert law and
order there.


We are acting in complete union with her
Majesty's Government, and a line of conduct
has been settled upon. What that line of con-
duct may be must be withheld from the House,
for to communicate it now would simply be
giving information at an improper
time, that would very soon be sent to
improper quarters. But l must say her
Majesty's Government, while acting in
accord with us, have in the first place approved
of the course we advised, and are cooperating
with us in carrying out that course, and am
sure that course will be carried to successful
completion at no distantda Further than this
II would be improper for me to say.

A dispatch from Plymouth, Pa, dated
Dec. 3lSt SAYS:


About half-past ten o'clock this morning
the breaker of the Washington mine, stu
ated at the southern end of the town, was
discovered on fire. There We're ffty-ive
men in the mine at the time, which is one
OF the man-traps like The Avondale. with
but one outlet; Notwithstanding this, no
notice was given to the men below that the
building was on fire. Fortunately it was
soon discovered and with great exertion,
not only prevented from spreading, but ex-
tinguished, and the men below remaining
all the while in ignorance of the danger
The fire was the result Of gross careless
ness on the part Of the company working it
1t appears two stoves We're kept in the
breaker to give heat to boys employed
there to pick out slate frcm the coal as it
goes into the breaker, and the pipes of
these stoves were run directly through the
woodwork without any protection, the
woodwork heated until it became of the
consistency of tinder and then ignited. At
noon some of the men came up to dinner,
AID, although every eXertion was
made to keep the fire from their
knowledge the fact leaked out and they be-
came aware for the first time of the terrible
fate they escaped. When they went down
again they informed the rest of the men,
ana they at once held an indignation meet
ing, and resolved to go up out of the mine,
when they got Up they assembled the rest
or the men belonging to the mine, in all
about seventy, and held another meeting,
resolving that they would not again go
down into the mine until there was built
two chimneys for the stove pipes, watch
man placed in charge of the building day
and night, bell at the bottom of the shaft
SO they should have signal when there
was danger at the surface.


Since that the mine has not been work
ed, and the men still remain firm. The
proprietors, Thomas Broderick & Co., not
being able to get any men to supply the
places Of the old hands have yielded to the
demands so far as the two chimneys are
concerned and their construction has COM
menced, but they think one watchnan in
the night is sufficient and decline to place
one there in day time. The men says this
only shows a willingness to protect their
own property and as their lives are exposed
in day tine they say they shall insist on
two watchmen and also on the alarm bell.
