DriT' A formidable strike exists among the
miners in Luzerne county, consequent on n reduc
tion of wages, from and after last Monday. The
miners are resolved not to resume work at less
than old rates, and the companies are resolved not
to pay the old rates. An obstinate hold-out is
probable on both side.
DROWNED.—A young man, named Em;ar
HOWE, was drowned in the Susquehanna river, near
RICHARD HORTON'S, in North Towanda, on Sunday
evening last. He was bathing, with a companion,
and undertook to swim to the island opposite.—
When nearly across he sunk, having been taken,as
is supposed with cramps. His body was not re
covered until the next day. He was about 20 years
of age, and a son of the late IIENUY HOWE, who
died in the army.
I lie closing exercises of the Susque
hanna Collegiate Institute, were held at the Pres
byterian Church, on Monday and Tuesday even
ings of last week, an 1 attracted a large attendance
of those interested in the prosperity of the institu
tion. The performance of the pupils reflected
great credit upon the worthy Principal, Mr. Mc-
WILLIAMS and his able assistants, Mr. FISLER, and
Misses SHERMAN and COLT.
The next Collegiate year will commence on the
I:sth of September next. At no previous time has
the Institute afforded better opportunities for the
advancement of pupils than the present. The ar
rangements for hoarding pupils are such as to en
sure satisfaction, whilst the corps of teachers, by
their experience and faithfulness, merit the confi
dence of those having children to educate. We
are pleased to know that the school is in a flourish
ing condition, showing that the people of the
County appreciate the advantage of having such a
Seminary in their midst.
Extensive imjirovements to the College buildings
are in progress, which will make them much more
convenient than heretofore,
THE publishers of the lUtwf Branch
Balkthi propose to issue their paper daily, after
Sept. 13th, provided sufficient encouragement is
manifested. The liiiiletin is a well conducted sheet,
and deserves a better fate. Williamsport, however,
has u street railroad, and aspires of-course, to the
dignity of a daily paper. Very proper, but hard
on the printers. However, if they undertake it, we
wish them abundant success.
THE CROPS. —From inquiries we are pleas
ed to learn that abundant crops are rewarding the
labors of the farmers of this County. The growth
of grass is unusually heavy. The weather so far,
however, has not been favorable for securing it.—
Rye, wheat and oats are above an average yield.
Corn and potatoes promise well, whilst the rains
have given buckwheat a fine start.
LADY'S FRIEND. —The August number of
this popular magazine fully sustains the reputation
of previous issues. It has already attained a high
degree of appreciation amongst the ladies. The
contents of the number now on our table appears
to be unusually attractive.
Price 52.0il a year ; 2 copies 54,00. To those
desirous of making up clubs, specimen numbers
will be sent for 15 cts. Wlieeler A Wilson's cele

I the patronage of the farming public. Notwithstanding
; trouble last year with some 01 the smaller castings on
j account of weak material, the Farmer established its
reputation in this county as it has elsewere, of being !
I tin Lightest Draught Mower in use and of doing the i
best mowing.
I have a number of those

With every reasonable apportnuity for trial; the

Price with malliable steel face - - $l3O
Warranted to mow. and do good work on as rough
ground as any Slower in tiie State ; and the draugnt
warranted ns light, both of this and last yeui's farmer,
as any tour feet Mower now known, notwithstanding the
Farmer is a standard or Large Mower ; rutting 1 feel
0 inches in width
THE FINGER BAR IS MADE OF BEST CAST-STEEL,
and cuts'a swarth 4 feet C inches in width. It is inde
pendent and flaxihle in its movements ; rising and fall
ing at either end, either above or below the plane of the
two driving wheels. When the outer end falls, the
crank-head rises, keeping the scythe and pitman at all
times in line ; thereby preventing the cramping and
I binding of scythe and pitman, common to folding-bar
Mowers,
THE DRAUGHT BEING SO LIGHT
Is caused by attaching the draught directly to the Fin

mower.
The Farmer is a convenient mower to handle and op
