Coal 'Famine
No settlement of affairs in the coal
mining troubles has been consummated,
no prospect of any arrangement by the
parties interested. The State Legislature
has started out its slow "nag" to put in an
appearance of action , in the matter, but
corporations have owned and manipulat
ed legislation heretofore, and. preparations
interests, hence no immediate relief need
be looked for in that direction. Gover
nor Geary and the advocates of "Protect
ion" declare that "the workman is worthy
of his L=t them demonstrate it in
the case of the famishing miners and suf
fering poor, by a summary check upon
soulless corporations, and, Hoffman like,
if need be, let him call out the military.
as was done upon the Erie Railway, and
not allow them to distract the business of
the whole country, and cause an undue
amount of suffering.

• ' DECISION. '
The Peoge Zdidard R Rti/loit.
Its,r4t.t.o, :t l,— l Tlia prisoner was-_con.
victed of-murder in the '
first degrotat the
Court of Oyer and . Term iner leg-. for,
Broome county on 12th Oliy- of,Jattn
acy, 1 : 871. The case - was removed byyrit
of error to , the scipreme Court, and the.
conviction there affirmed.on,the, 21st of
February instant. An application is now,
made to me forthe allowance of a:writ of
error from the Court of ,Appeals. with a
stay of proceedings. And the counsel for
the prisoner, and District Attorney of
Broome county have been fully heard on
this application.
The ollowance,of the writs of error to
be of any avail, necessarily involves the
granting of a stay of proceedings, as the
prisoner is , • , ,
on the 3d day of .Ifateh mixt, And the
next session of this Conti doe not begin
until the 15th. - •
' The question to be determinea 'is
whether • the prisoner shall hare aw".op
portnnity to be heard in this Court upon
the exceptions taken in his behalf for the
decision-of the Court before-which .he
was eon rioted.-
•If th - gpOintit misell- by three except=
ions were manifestly 'frivolous, or so well
se t t led-by prior adjudiciitionsiati to-be free
from doubt, I should deem it my duty to
deny the application_
But it appears from the bill of except
ions that several of the points are mater
ial and some of them novel, and without
discussing them here, or expressing any
opinion as to the correctness of the decis
ions sought to be reviewed, I think that
they are not so entirely free from doubt
as to justify me in
is tag a coin a case,.
It is more con
sistent with the orderly administration of
justice and the true interests of the com
munity that they should be solemnly ad
judicated, then that they should be sum
marily disposed of on this appliCetion.
Neither the heinousness of the, offence
or the sufficiency of the evidence to jus
tify the findings of the jury relieves this
Court of their duty, iden substantial er
ror is alledged of examining whether the
prisoner has be'en convicted, according
law. But public justice reqnires that in
case lie shall lie found to have been .so
convicted, the execution *of, the sentence
should not be delayed any longer than is
absolutely necessary for such examina
tion.
This court will convene on the 15tb
day of March; and I have anicludecl to
ALLOW THE WRIT AND STAT. .
on condition that the counsel for the !iris.
oner sitpulate forthwith to 'file the writ
and enter an appearance for the prisoner,
and to accept notice of argument for the
15th day of March, 1871, and to cause
the return. to the writ of error tube filed
with the clerk of the Court of .Appeals
on or before the 15th day of March, 1871,-
and to furnish the printed eases to the
Court and District Attorney, and proceed
. with the argument at the opening' of the
court on the 15th day - of March; 1871, or
as soon thereafteras-the-court shall be

How Scarlet Fever Is Spread
The scarlet fever prevails in every sec
tion of the country, in a most malignant
fs-sin eat, t Joer
nal will be of interest to our readers:
The enormous mortality from scarlet
fever which appears in the Registrar Gen
eral mortality bills, is now a catistaut and
increasing quantity. It. is assuming pro
portions which are alarming, not the less
ao because they are largely increased . by
individual cat elessness. It has always
been a source of great mortality, and iu
the absence of any means of checking its
progress, such .us we possess in vaccina
tion fur shall pox and by attention to the
water supply and drainage for cholera
mid some forms of pythugenie fever, it
becomes the wore acc essary accurately to
inyestig,ate the means by which it, is
spread. These may be suctioned np chief
ly in a few words. - It is ,spread by per
sonal:carelessness, by neglect, and by
recklessness of individuals as to the,pub
lie safety.
• , Scarlet fever is_proppgated from person
to person by culpable ignorance anclenm
inal neglect. Cleanliness and general
sanitary regulations are of no use in nii-
tigatiii,g the serverity of the disease, but
are -no bar to its propagation. Let us
take the experience of one London phy
slain during the last week and it will eas
ily explain how scarlet-fewer is now being
spread. Ikvtells'ils bits :become
coo•nizant of the following cases during
that time. Travelling by rail, he was re
quested not to put down the window as a
little buy in the carriage was not very
well. -The boy was on his way home from
school where scarlet fever had broken out,
-and on examining him, the erroption was
fully :evident. A clergyman brought into
his room a lad, not to •conefilt him about
-the land, but inadvertently. He was
about to take him into the Country: This
lad had just reco..ered from scarlet fever,
and was in the'disqnainative stage of eon
valestenee, shedding about those scales
ivhieh -aire- , oci highly ihr6ctiotui, and are
enough to-poison the Whole population.
-His' washer-Woman had scarlet fever in
het family; he ascertained that it was con:
vgved by the'clothing of a scarlet Teter
patient, sent to the wash :by the friends
without ony caution. These are all acts
--of the most culpable and dangerous neg
ligence. Scarlet fever is one of the most
intensely and continuously contageous
diseases. From the outset of the disease
till the completion of the subsequent pro
cess of peeling off the skin, the patient,
his clothing and discharges, the light
scales - which' are diffused in the 'Minos:
`Therefrom his- peeling surface:skin; are
pregnant with poison. ' Not only should:
he'-he earefilly isolated; not only should
• clothing- and all that cotes in contact

Dead Letter °Mee.
The dead letter office is one of the most curl
' ously interesting brunches of the government,
And the cause of it, or the necessity for such'
institution, is a mystery. It is impossible al
most to conceive of the carelessness. stupidity.
and ignorance by which more than G 8,003 letters
were intrusted to the post-oiliee in a single year.
('or which no designation could be found, in con
sequence of inaccuracies, imperfections, and fa
tal omissions in direction—upward Of 3,000 hav
ing no address whatever. .t.nd the mystery is
the more remarkable whets itis.considerM that
these letters contained money to the amotmt of
at least i;too,ooo,.in small sums generally, and
checks, drafts, etc., to the amount of 0,000,000
more. This property was , of course returned,
or most of it, upon information obtained by
opening and elamining the letters at the dead
letter office...
Firc In Auburn
On Saturday, Feb. 25; the ham of Thomas
Donlin, was consumed by fire. The tire origin
ated in the stable, by the lantern falling among
the bedding. hay, grain, wagons, and farm
ing tools, were consumed by the flames. Loss.
S7OY, partly insured.
A Young Met
A boy six or seven years of age while playing
in front of .1. 11. Sherwooirs jewelry store, took
the opportunity while Mr. 8. was in an adjoin
ing store, to slip in and take a watch hanging
upon a rack. lie was followed home and the
watch recovered. He told his mother he found
the watch on the walk at ebb's store. This
is a pretty early start in crime. Parents cannot
be too careful of the influences of a street educa
tion for boys. Business at home is the only
sale remedy.
Dead Doe.
Should von have the misfortune to lose your
dog by death, just let the editor of the Montrose
Demoerat know the fact, and he will get you up
a nice obituary notice, with a few lines of origin
al doggerel thrown in. It is suggested that the
dog obituary department will prove the most
interesting in his paper, and that if be continues
to cultivate his muse every thne a canine friend
deceases, he may yet become one of our most
voluminous poets."—lfontrose &pub:lean.
It is suprising In these days, that we cannot
express our views, or give a little moral dis
sertation even upon dogs without hitting some
hotly in the Radical ranks. From the tone
of the above, our article last week, advising
young ladies to beware of "rat-and-ta% pups"
must have kindled a flame in the Republican
office. Wo cannot account for it unless the
editor has worked his feelings up to believe that
we meant that "pup" that was sent by express
to General Grant,-and that he Is called upon, as
a Radical hound, to bare at it. Perchance some
bosom friend among the,"softer sex" has enlist
ed biro as her. knight of thu gull. Whatever
the case may be, if we have. fashidned a pr
meat that fits the: editor of the Republican.
