A New Mexico Peak Now ina Very Active Con, dition. Sulphurous Flames Numerous. Aziquiv, N. M.,—Padernal peak, situated in the wilds of Rio Arriba county, N. M.,'isnow ina violent state of eruption, and is belching forth sul- phurous flames and lava at intervals of about three hours, each agitation last- ing about 80 minutes. , This has been going on, so far as known, since the last Week in December. H. P. F. Coape, an English nobleman who main- tains an immense hunting camp about twenty-five miles from the peak, was attracted to it by the lights and rum, bling noises. There are no settlement nearer 1t than Abiquiu, a small Spanish mission, twenty five miles distant, or Mr. Coape’s huting ‘camp, equidistant in a different direction. Mr. Coup summoned all the miners from the gold camp on the Chama river, forty miles distant, to witness the strange scene. The entire top of the mountain, which was almost a square mesa about one mile in extent, is blown off, and lava is pouring down the sides and bas already filled up the valley for about one-half mile on each side. A considerable portion of a ruined city of the ancient cliff dwellers will be covered with the slag should the eruptions con- tinue as they have during the last three weeks. Padernal peak is one of the most prominent landmarks in the territory. he old. Mexicans here say that it burst forth in a violent eruption in 1820 and did not cease for nearly a year after- ward. It has lain dormant until its resent freak. The rumbling noise and Fvid light can be plainly heard and seen at Sierra Amarilla, the county seat, seventy miles distant, and an army of people from there are now here to wit- ness the impressive sight, Some of the native Mexicans are grealy frighted and prostrate themselves to the earth, beg- ging forgiveness of their sins. Others think it is Montezuma taking this method to announce his return. There is great excitement and a reign of super- stitious terror prevails. A dispatch from the City of Mexico says: The earthquake shock felt at Orizaba yesterday has greatly frighten- ed the people living in the vicinity of the Orizaba volcano, Subterranean noises are plainly heard, and the people fear some catastrophe is about to hap- pen. Scientists declare, however, that there is no danger. The town of Orizaba lies about seventy miles by rail south- west of Vera Cruz and about twenty- five miles south of Mount Orizaba. The residents of Colims, the capital of the state by that name on the Pacific coast, also feel a nervous apprehension regard- ing the volcano of Colims, which, reach- ing a height of about 12,000 feet, looms skyward about thirty miles north of the capital. Every night a lurid light illuminates the sky above the mountain, and itis feared that this protends a serious eruption. Damage at Louisviide by the Breaking of a Gorge. LouisviLLE, Jan. 30.—The ice gorge broke to-night at 8.0’clock, doing a great amount of damage to towboats and shipping. The towboat Aid was sunk at 8 o'clock, and the steamer Hotspur bad a hole stove in her side, and was with difficulty brought to shore. The river is full of towboats and coal barges, and a large number ‘of barges have been sunk, but the exact amount of damage cannot be learned at this time of writing. ——— One Hundred Thousand Sheep Killed. OpEssa, Jan 80.—Enormous quanti- ties of snow have fallen in the valleys of the Dueiper, in the Crimea, and in oth >r parts of southern Russia. In the valley of the Dneiper the snow is on a level with the house-tops. In one province 100,000 sheep have been killed. o trains are running in the North «Crimea. The Huntingdon Refermatory. This institution, the management of ‘which has already besn severely .ques- ‘tioned, is one ‘which is intended for young men, only, between ithe ages of: 115 to 25, who show a desire to reform’ and have not previously been sentenced to penal servitude. Any crime, except murder in the first degree, is a pass ia- side the walls. Any inmate who misbehaves may be transferred to the penitentiary for the maximum term of years for the crime committed and be called back again for another trial of behavior, or handed to the court from which he was sentenced and be sentenced to the “pen.” On the «contrary, if he behaves, he ‘gets out in _ one year’s time, serves six months pa- role, gets a final discharge and is re- leased from further liability under thei sentence. But, once discharged if he commits another crime, he cannot eo | back, but in all probability will be looked upon as an old offender and re- ceive a heavier sentence than an old of- fender would get. The grades, first, second and third, rate the boys standing | of guards, (The eight hour law ap- plies here, though resisted by the big officials at first. The change was brought about by Governor Patti- son when notified of the poor man-" agement under Republican directors.) The night force commences its work. | Remaining in the guard room until 1 o'clock a. m. you will see the captain of the night watch, enter a cell, to call the head baker, who dresses an1 begins | his work, in the kitchen which lasts un- | til afternoon. Silence, save for the | cautious treading of the guards, reigns until 5 o'clock a. m. when the stable men are marched out and enter upon their duties. At the same time 28 boys, the kitchen force, are also called, and arc soon in their places, doing their work, In a short time breakfast is passed to the “grub gangs’’, and awaits the meal hour. At 5.45 the reveille is sounded and every boy is up and dress- ing. Promptly at 620 the triangle sounds, the second and third grades take their meals into their cells, the first forming into companies, march to the dining room, where 8 to a table en- joy their morning meal. At 6.50 the gong is sounded, the officers of the morning fall in and present arms, | and are then assigned, assuming charge of everything. At 6.55 the whistle blows, almost immediately the steady tramp, tramp, of line after line of boys is heard as they file out ot the cell- houses to their respective places of em- ploynient. The cell-house gangs pro- ceed to collect the tin dishes in which the meal is served, and take them to the kitchen to be washed, then scrub the cell-houses. At 8 o’clock the bal- ance of the day force goes on duty. Everything has now assumed its daily appearance, und the hum of industry is heard. At o'clock the sick roll is rung, all those who are sick may visit the physician, unless unable, when he visits them. Then comes another sub- ject, reports of misdemeanors, which every boy reported is given a chauce to prove guilty, or not guilty. If guilty the report goes to the Supt., and at the end of the month the boy has another chance to prove his innocence or learn the consequence--loss of time on liberty. Work continues until 11.55 when the whistle blows and all go to dinner. The scenes of the morning are re-enact- ed at 1 p.m. and work for the day is ended at 4. In the meantime the after- noon detail of officers have arrived, an- swered to their names at the roll call and are ready to relieve the day detail when they come in. As this takes place, the idle inmates form into companies, and, guarded by inmate officers, monitors, (an infamous system of injustice is genarally carried on by these guards) drill for an hour or two. The bands out for 40 minutes, hence doing 8 hours and 40 minutes for a days work whichis, a violation of the law. Supper is served at anytime %etween 4.45 and 5.10 p. m. Soon after this the inmates are again called into order and the count made. After 6 o'clock a portion of the inmates, about 210 in number, spend one hour in the school rooms, each room having one teacher or sixiin all: After 7 o’clock the other half of the number of inmates go to school for one hour, the first half re- turning to their cells and being locked in. At8 the balance go back to their cells and are locked in. Only one solid chilled steel bar } by 1} inches in thick- ness and 318 feet long locks one tier, (six tiers in a house) but each door has a look by itself a sort of a double pre- caution against escape. The mass of the population, spend the time after school hours studying their lessons, un- til'9 p. m. when the gong is sounded for lights out and go to bed. ' i ‘On Sunday, all remain in their cells until9 a. m. when those who dexire to attend Sunday school go there for an hour. In the afternoon, &ll inmates are compelled to attend services from 2 to 3 o'clock. Supper on Sunday is served at 3.55 and cousists of bread and molasses, one cup of tea, two soda erack- ers and one ginger snap. : Of the boys in the institution about one half have employment. The recent fire having completely destroyed the brush-shop, which had at least 95 men employed. . The mechanical department, embrace ing the electricians, painters, carpenters, and boiler house numbers 38 men in all. in conduet, school and labor, the first | The shirt factory 50, the tailor 18.

All are placed in the second or intermediate grade when received. Six months per- fect record(successively)in the two high- est grades are the eonditions for the can- didacy for parole. agers don’t have to grant the privilege even then, if they see fit, but it is gen- erally granted. The six months on pa- role are sometimes served faithfully, but some think it best to “skip” run- ning the risk of being recaptured in which case, they commence the time all over again, serving the first six months in the red striped (third) grade. The reader may wonder, how does the day pass with those within the walls 9 : It is natural that the questicn should arise. Appearing on the scene at midnight, we notice first, the change The Board of Man- | | farm hands (regulat); brick yard 28, { band or scrub gang 33, Outside and cell house gangs employ about 40, in- | cluding monitors, watchmen, ete. A { good many do nothing the whole time, Those who don’t want to, needn't work while the brush factory is rebuilding. Every boy bathes once a week and changes clothes at the same time, show- er baths in rocms 4 32} feet, teing in | use. Those who werk in the boiler house or other dirty work are supposed to get , 8 bath every day but rarely get the privilege more than three times a week. | All soiled clothing is turned over to | the laundry, where it is washed, dried and ironed by machinery operated by at least 10 boys. The bed-clothes are changed every Friday. Referring to the monitor system, of { i | | i | | t | think that the best thing that can be done would be to discharge them at once and set them at other work, for one inmate set over another is a curse in any institution, Blackmail js used by them, were it not for it, no one would aspire to the honor(?) The number of the sick is small, but the number of those who go crazy un- der this system of management is terri- ble in comparison with other penal’ in- stitutions. The buildings themselves are beauties) but the sewerage, ete,, bad. In fact the contractoss attempted to pile the mater- ial used for their construction but were | detected in time, and the matter has never been fully repaired. However, it is a sight worth seeing. Anyone can go through by paying 15 cents admission fee, which goes to the prisoners’ library fund. HARRY 8. FREEMAN.

Black conducted a most gratifying series of meetings that were well attended and grew in interest each night, ending on Sunday evening with several additions to the church. Mr. H. M. Meek and wife, of the Mountain City, took advantage of the excellent sleighing and were very agreeable visitors at the man- sion home cf the venerable Peter Keichline, on Main street, recently. Mrs. Wm. Gardner, of Penn Hall, is seriously ill from a partial paralytic stroke by which her right side and speech were affected. It ishoped that a collapse will not soon occur and her life be spared to her fam’ly many years. Postmaster Heberling is again attending to the duties of his office after a visit to his aged mother, who is suffering from an attack of pneumonia, at the home of her son-in-law, near Birmingham, where all that kind hands can do to alleviate her suffering, is being done. Mr. Glenn Meek, of Altoona, was a visitor here last week and figured in the mu. sical convention. No comment is'needed on his musical talent, as he carried off the hon- ors of the convention, winning for himself a most pleasant memory inthe minds of the vast audience. The Oak Grove school house, recently de: stroyed by fire, has been rebuilt, Jacob Keller being the lowest bidder was awarded the con- tract. The building is now ready for the furniture, and is considerable larger than the old one and isa credit tothe Board and to Judge Keller the contractor. Major J. I. Ross and wife were last week in attendance at the funeral of Mrs. Sarah Cavin, aged 81 years, Mrs. Ross's mother, who died quite suddenly at the home of her son Amos in Derry, Westmoreland county. This pleas- ant old lady spent many of her late years with Major Ross’s family and formed many warm acquaintances here who will regret to learn of her death. The musical convention held in the Presby- terian church, under the direction of Prof. Weaver, ended on Friday evening with a grand concert given to a crowded house. Miss Nannie Campbell presided at the organ and Miss Mamie Campbell and Miss Lizzie Krebs, as violinists captured the house. They deserve a seat in the Nikisch orchestra. The concert had long been talked of and long before the opening piece every available space had been taken up and standing room was in de- mand, by guests from Loveville, State Col- lege, Boalsburg and Spruce Creek anticipating a most enjoyable evening. They listened to the choicest musie, ever given to the public in this place, rendered by a choir of one hun_ dred and twenty voices, who won for them- selves many pleasant memories in the minds of the hearers. To them is largely due the restoration of Pine Grove and vicinity to its former reputation in the musical world, and also for the social and numerical success of which the proceeds amounted to $128. i.
