who charged that he bad stolen about twenty

who made the attest took Conning to Montrose
and proceeded to the Tarbell House for supper.
They entered the dining-room together, but the
OffliVT retired for a moment for the purpose, as
he afterwards said, of washing his hands. When
he returned Conning was gone, having token
advantage of the officer's absence, and fled, pas

Mlss 8. M. Pollard of Binghamton, N. Y.,
who formerly conducted an extensive millinery
establishment on the caner of Court and Wa
ter streets, says the Times, received a tea days
since, from the executors of the will of her un
cle, her father's brother, recently deceased, in
San Francisco, CaL, a letter Informing her that
she was mentioned in the will as the sole heir
of her uncle's estate. The letter further inform
ed her that the estate was valued at upwards
of two hundred thousand dollars; one hundred
thousand being invested in lands and real es
tate, and about one hundred and titre thousand
dollars, consisting of cash, on deposit in various
hanks In Ban Francisco.
Mr. Pollard, we are informed, went to Call
forma many years ago, and tor a long tiro, his
whereabouts were unknown, until his niece, by
writing to the postmaster at Sim Francisco as
certained her uncle's address, and corresponded
with him. Through this correspondence which
revived old memories and restored family rela
tionship, it is supposed, the deceased was actua

In a private letter from Hon. Joseph Powell,
Congressman elect from this district, congratu
lating the senior editor of this paper upon the
'borne endorsement be received for Senator, at
the late election and deprecating his ignoble de
feat in Wayne county, we also find the foie:w
ing, which shows that the grand rally made by
the Democracy of this county is duly apprecia
ted by him. He says: "I am more than satis
fied with the vote in your county, considering
the increased vote this year over that of last. I
think you have done nobly for me. May I ask
you to eonvey to my friends and supporters in
your county my warmest thanks for their et
forts in my behalf. I trust that I shall never
prove ungrateful to them, either personally- or
In an official capacity."
We have the fullest confidence that the De
mocracy of this county will ever be proud of
the part they took in the elethion of Mr. Pow
ell. We believe that we can fully assure them
of his "Honesty and capability" to represent
their best interests at the National Capital.
Remarks an Beeltation.
The Pennsylvania School Journal says: The
visitor to our publie schools is frequently struck
with surprise by the strangely careless manner
in which recitations are so often attended to by
both teachers and pupils. There is such a
shiftless, shambling way of getting through
with the recitations, as though the whole mat
ter was simply to get through. Pupils seem . to
be satisfied with knowing the lesson, and many
seem to be satisfied whether they know the
lesson or not, while the teacher seems to rest
contented In the consciousness that he has dis
charged his duty by "hearing" the lesson. We
have too many mere hearers of lessons in the
school room.
The recitation properly consistsof two parts,
the language and the facts of the lesson. Both
these should receive careful attention. The
language in which a lesson is recited should be
grammatically correct, clear and full ; the facts
of the lesson, that is the things learned, should
be stated with thoroughness and exaetness.;--
Teachers should not permit uncrammatical ex
pressions to pass—for instance, "them" for
"those," and "is" for "are"—and they should
not be satisfied with a vague, uncertain state
merit of the - facts comprised in the lesson. The
pupil should have a clear conception of these
fstcts,be should see nothing "as through a glass,
darkly," and he should- he required to express
his knowledge properly. School is the place to
do this; if it is not done there, where mill it be'
done
There are several good reasons why pupils
should recite in the manner here recommended.
In the first place the teacher will not know
now well a pupil knows his lesson unless be re
cites it just as well as he knows it; and unless
the teacher knows this, he will not know just
what he ought to say to explain any difficulties
In the lesson, or what to add by way of illus
tration, etc. Again, the pupil will remember
the lesson better by reciting it to a teacher ;
and esbecialLY If he takes pains to recite the
lesson well.the mere eSort to do so will impress
it more firmly and permanently upon his mind.
This certainly is something worth attending to.
Finally, by requiring pupils to recite their les•
eons correctly and accurately, they acquire a
habit of expressing themselves in this manner,
and surely that is something. Flow many
quarrels and lawsuits grow out of the careless
and inaccurate habit of expressing themselves
which many people have. Perhaps no other
means can be suggested of making neat, con
cise and correct speakers' that will prove so ef
fective as this. At all events a stop should be
put to the careless and inefficient mode of re
citing which prey ails in so many schools. It Is
productive of scarcely of any good results.
while the habits of carelessness and Inattention
which grow out of it at least balance the ad

Fire in Silver Lake
The house and barn of Thomas R. Kane, of
Silver Lake township this county, were totally
destroyed by fire,on Wednesday evening last.—
Mr.
Kane was out about his barn doing his
chores just in the edge of the evening and
while there a friend came who was smoking
and it is believed that the fire must have caught
by sparks from his pipe. Mr. K. and his son
were in a barn near by, husking corn, when
they heard some stampting of the horses and a
roaring noise and as they came out to see what
it meant, saw the smoke emerging from the
barn and the fire just breaking out of the root.
Two horses were burned. Mr. Kane immedi
ately ran to his dwelling house and alarmed
his family so as to get them safe from the house
as it was evident that it must burn also. Noth
ing was saved from the barn, but It is calculat
ed that a large portion of the furniture it. the
house was saved. Mr. Kane has an insurance
of nearly $3,000 upon the property, but it will
not coves the loss. He is insured by Billings
Strond's agency, of Montrose, who have been
out to adjust the loss.

The Burnieg Coal Mine at Pittston.
A despatch from West Pittston, dated Nov.
let, gives the following concerning the quench
ing of the fire in the Empire mine .
The fire in the "burning 'mines" is at last
quenched. The employment at steam by the
Lehigh and lt likes-Barre Coal Company In ex
tinguishing the Empire mine fire has proved a
success, which must be of incalculable value
not alone in Pennsylvania, but in mining dis
'Mete everywhere.
The story is one full of interest and value as
well, in view of the vague and curious ideas of
what the fire in the mines really amounts to,
even in the midst of the mining regions. The
general thought seams to be of a vein of coal
burning itself out in certain restricted limits or
so situated that a stream of water could be ea
sily turned in, Hooding It out. Compel atively
few persons are aware of the absolute necessity
of conquering it, involving not merely heavy
expenditure, but a warefare taxing to the ut
most the Inventive and executive ability of men
femiliar with mines and engineering.
On the hillside perhaps a mile from where we
stood, was the mouth of a elope from which
mlues, now abandoned, were formerly worked;
afterwards used as an up•cast for purpose of
ventilatton in connection with boilers below.—
Ths . se bailors were placed near the head of Em
pire elope No. E. which still leads further dawn
Into newer workings. Near the centre of the
slope stood a woolen stack which, at 1 a. In. on
the 31st of last December, was discovered to be
in flames, doubtless carried up trait almost ir
stantancously from fire starting at the boilers.
"Vile open space on each side of the slope had
been walled up with stone, but with doorways
for occasional necessary entrance to the old
wolkings ; and the fire had communicated
at once through these doors with the timber
supports, stretching in all directions through
the abandoned chambers. So that although
officers and men were promptly on the spot,
they were met at the very first by a torrent of
fltine,like that which the lake winds swept
over Chicago, carried up through a diagonal
chimney of 1,200 feet' from what was already
a stream office on a level of 256 feet as a plumb
line might fall,below the apt where they stood.,
Water was poured into the slope from a reser
voir above, and turned on below from the water
pipe that fe•i the boilers, so soon as they could
be reached through the nearest ahatt with its
connecting gangway,while every effort was used
to cut off air from the fire without destroying ,
the ventilation necessary fur the workers. But
at the end of three hours the slope fell In, abut
ting the fire In from above.
At the close of February the fire, save for
about 200 feet, had been securely enclosed, and
the end seemed near, when sound and sight
gave token that the roof in the old workings
was about to fall. This had been so provided
for as to insure its coming quietly, but the men
fearing concussion of air, which results from
violent tells, and which drives even loaded cars
like playthings before it out of the mines, re
fused to remain. Watchers were stationed
at safe distances, but the fall, came so gently
that they were unaware of it. On March Ist
the officers found that it was over, but while
the men were absent the fire had swept through
the open space and covered a field fee hey° ud
Its original dimensions ; air currents were re
versed ; connecting passages doted or flooded.
To stop the fans was certain death to the men;
to keep them going was to feed the fire.
It was at this time when new measures were
so imperative that the mine boss. Lewis 8.
Jones, urged the trial of steam. From . the 12th
to the 18th of March It was tested in spaces
still enclosed. A well entirely stormundinv, the
old workings was completed with eager haste :
all cave holes above were packed with clay :
single airway, to be afterwards. closed alone
remained. The steam Worn 16 boilers was
driven through pipes already Inserted, and ear
ly in May all eyes looked their joyful farewell
to the fire. At that time the thermometer at
tached to the test pipes registered 176 degrees.
A month later the lower stratum was cold.—
The steam, hoover, will be kept confined until
the first of Jarman ., next, to provide against
any possibility of lurking danger.
The Execution.
The last horrid scene consequent crprri the
terrible tragedy which took place near Mont
rose Depot Sept. 27th 11473, was consummated
on Thursday morning last. Daniel O'Mara
and Patrick Irving were summarily launched
into eternity, about half past ten o'clock of
that day, to satisfy the law which demanded
their tires for the atrocious murder of Marga
ret and Mary O'Mara. The facts and circum
stances of this case have been fully published
in tile DEMOCRAT as they transpired and most
be already so familiar to our readers as not to
need any farther sensational or soul-sickening
detail.
Aa a representative of the press we were of
feted, by sheriff Heinle, permission to witness
the execution tint we had no morbid curiosity,
nor any desire to write up a tragical, sensation
al, description of the scene for the beatification
of one readers, but wither, our feelings and In
clinations led us in an opposite direction. As
was expected a very large crowd assembled,
having commenced to pour in during Wednes
day night, but with the few exception• of the
representatives of the press and a few others
favored with passes, no one saw anything con
nected with the execution except the gibbet
upon which the prisoners were executed. not
even the bodies, as they were cofficed in the
jail yard and delivered into the hands of their
friends who at once started with them for Au
burn where they were to be interred.
We have read a number of the reports of
the execution scene in different papers and
have heard oral statements from others who
were present in person and we are yet unable
to tint any two of either, who agree in the de
tail of the affair. This shows us conclusively
that on the part of the reporters for the press
especially there must have been one of two con
ditions, either they were so horrified by the
scene that they could not have intelligent cog-
I nizance of what transpired or else they were
looking for the best interests of their employ
ers and writing imp an imaginative scene found-
I nu upon some facts as each one's ability capaci
sates him for the task, to satiety the morbid
appetite of their readers for such sensational
reading. We are inclined to believe that the
latter was the ruling passion from the fact that
one pictures out the poor, miserable victims as
meeting their fate like heroes and martyrs, and
from his glowing description almost exciting
a feeling of emulation of their coolness and
finuness,while another shows them as quaking,
shivering. drivelling cowards. One pictures
them as dying peacefully and almost without a
struggle,while anthers represent that they eked
out their miserable existence in writhing ago
aim We have had a lung settled belief that
these kind of sensational descriptions, in the
newspapers, of such scenes, let them be true
or false, are a bane to society, and especially to
the youth of our land, who become so famil
iarized with the details of such awful exhibi
tions as to blunt their finer sensibilities and in
crease the Inclination to crime by inciting, in
some one, the desire almost, to be such a hero
on the scaffold, and also confuting the only ar
gument in favor of capital punishment, the
deterring Irons crime,and protection of society by
the fear of the gallows. At the risk of not being
pronounced a live editor, we hove determined,
not to spread before our readers any detailed
sensational description of this scene, either of
our own or of any one else.
Daniel O'Mara and Patrick Irving died to pay
the penalties of the law, in such case made
and provided. How they acted or how they
looked, is of no consequence to us or them,
neither is it any key to how they felt. The op
emtion of their mindieis only known to them•
and their Creator. They are dead. Here let
the book bel,closedi in the hope that the lesson
may have Its desired effect.
Father Slattery Was with the prisoners, both
before and at the execution, and administered
such consolation, as the Church provide'.
Daniel O'itarka short time before his execution
made a confession of his guilt, declaring no
one to be implicated but himself* and Irving.
This confession will probably soon be offered
to the public in. pamphlet form.
