O O YERNVR'S MESS A UE.
The message of (Jo?. Geary, transmitted"
to the Legislature, Wednesday, though
rather a long one, says the Forest Republi
can, exhibits much aSility, and" will be
found unosaally interesting tnfooghout
well deserving aattentiva perusal by all
who desire to be corr-ofly posted in regard
to the affairs, genarafly, cf the Common
wealth. It is the seventy ninth annual
messffge stoce the organisation of the pres.
ent State Government, and Governor Gea
ry avails himself of the oceasion to con
gratulate the Legislature and the people
' on their enjoying to nn unusual degree
the blessings of hc.ilth and unstinted pros,
peiity."
Financially the State is in a sound con.
dition. The receipts during the year end.
ing Nov. 30, 1800, including the balance
in the Treasury Nov. 30, I8G8, amounted
to $0,254,030 05. Expenditures during
that time, $4,853,774 10. Leaving the
balance in the Treasury on the 30th of No
vember last of $1,400,802 40.
The State debt Nov. SO, 1808, was $33,
247,947 13, of which was redeemed du
ring the fisoal year $472,387 18, five per
cent, loans and $19,n00 cancelled Relief
notes, leaving the debt November 30, 1808,
$32,818,540 05.
This is highly satisfactory, showing a
steady gradual redaction of the State in.
debtednees under the Republican adminis
tration j nearly five millions having been
paid since January, 1867, when tbe debt
amounted to $37,704, 400. 72.
The subjects discussed in the message
are too numerous and important to bo more
than merely referred to in an editorial no
ti3i Over a eolumn is devoted to Assets
in Sinking Fund ; the Common Schools ,
Soldiers' Orphans Schools,
and Agricultural Collego receive due at
tention; the Military, Military History and
Home for disabled Soldiers, are brought to
the attention of the Legislature; the Av.
ondale Disaster is prominently cositnentcd
on, ind a law to pieveut future similarities
recommended. The other subjects embra
ced iu the message are the Board of l'ublic
Chaiities, Geological Survey, Inspection of
Gas, Revision of tho Civil Code, Statistics,
IVison Discipliub, Judiciary, Bouudry
Line, In Meuioriam. Pardons apd National
Jvonn uii wng mo message is a J union
Report, containing nil the pardons granted
and death warrants executed during the
year 1800, with the names of persons who
solicited Executive clemency in behalf of
convicts. This report shows conclusively
that Gov. Geary, iu every instance in which
he granted a pardon, justified in doing so
by the army of respectable names attached
to the petition.
. , . -
New York, Jan. 3 The great strike
of the telegraph operators employed on tbe
Western Union Telegraph lines, which
commenced at San Francisco a few days
ago, reached here this alter noon It
came like the tidal wave, taking in Sacra
mento, Leavenworth, St. Louis, Chicago,
Cincinatti, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pitttburg,
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
finally New York in its irresistible sweep.
It hag uow reached the New England cities,
anl is still spreading unchecked, and be
fore nooo to-morrow will probably have
reached tho Atlautio cable.
The strike w the most gigantic and wide
spread that has ever occurred, and its ef.
feet upon commercial circles may well be
imagined. From all that can be ascertain
ed it appears that the company contcmpla
a reduction of salaries iu the San Fraucisco
office. To this the operators objected and
quit work.
A committee, representing the New York
operators, waited on O. II. Palmer, Esq.,
member of the Executive Board of the
Company, this afternoon, aod demanded
to know whether tbe company intended to
reinstate their brethren of the Pacific at
their former saleries. Mr. Palmer's re.
sponso was not satisfactory, when the entire
corps of operators left their desks and re
fused to work.
So far as the heaviest customers of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, says
the N. Y. Tribune, the newspapers ot the
country, are concerned, there has been very
little reason as yet to know that a strike is
in progress along iu lines. Believing the
srwka to have been without sufficient cause,
we are heartily glad to perceive that the
Company is likely to suffer so little embar.
rossment from it, and to note tbe iodic.,
tions that the worst of tho trouble isM
ready over. The strike was bo timed as to
leave the Company without tbe aid of its
very efficient President, 31 r. Orton, who is
now absent in Europe, but the other officers
have acted with tact aod discretion in the
embarrassing circumstances in which they
were suddenly placed, and to their wisdom
ia largely due the present encouraging
state of affairs.

TENNESSEE.
It is very evident, says Fork's Prest,
that the violent course of the rebel Democ

Boston Workino Girls.A corres
pondent of the Boston Trantrript furnish
es the following facts and figures :
During half the year only is there steady
ork ; so that for support durins- the six
off-months provision must be mud forth
gains of the preceding one. And it must
also be borne in mind that the lowest price
paid in Boston for board and that in an
attic, having iu it as many beds as it will
hold is $4 pur week, light, fire, and wash
ing not included. Now the price paid by
the pieee.master for pantaloons is $1. 75,
and it takes an industrious woman ouo day
aod a half to make a pair. If she makes
four in a week she will gain $7, aod in six
months about 1150, with which she must
support herself through twelve months (and
board and lodging at $4 per week). Or,
supposing that she gets some work during
the slack seasoo, as many do, she may earn
about $220 or $230. Almost precisely the
same returns come from vest-makioz.
JOSH HILLINGS PAVERS.
THE DISTRICT SCHOOLMASTER
There is one man in this basement world
tbati always look upon with mixed phee!
iags of pity and respekt.
I had rather a man would bit mo on the
sidcov the head than to pity uie.
But there is oco man in this world to
whom I always take oph my hat, and re.
main uncovered until he gets safely by, and
that is the distrikt skoolinater.
When i meet him i look upon him nz a
martyr just returning from tho stake, or on
lis way to be cooked.
He leads n more loncsum and single life
thun an old bachelor, and a more anxious
one than an old maid.
He iz remembered jist about as long and
effektionately az a gide board iz by a travel
ing pack pedler.
The distrikt skoolmaster hain't got a
triend on the side of the earth. The boys
snowball him during recess ; t'.ie girls put
water in his hair dye ; and the rkool com
mute niaik Lira work for haff the money a
bar.tendcr girl gits, and board him around
the neighborhood where they eivc him cof.
fen, sweetened with molassis, tew dririk, and
codfish balls throe times a day for vitiles.
And, with all this abuse, I never heard
ov a distrikt skoolmaster svanog enny
louder than Condem it.
A distikt scoolmaster, who duz a square
job and takes his kodfish bawls reverntly,
iz a better man to-day tew have lieing
around loose than Solomon would be, array
ed in all ov his gbry.
He goes through life on a back road, as
poor as a wood sled, aod finally is missed
but whatever becomes uv his remains i can't
tell.
Whs iz it that these men and wimmen.
who pashuntly, and with crazed brain,
teach our remorseless brats the trjus mean-
in of the alphabet, who take the first wed.
ding heat ov their destinies, who lay tbe
stuppin stones and eukurage them to mount
upwards, who have dun more hard Rud
mean work than enuy klass on the footstool,
who have over the reprobate, strengtlioned
the timid,restrained the ttmeu,restrained the
outragious, and fluttered the imbecile, who
hav Jived on koefish aud vile coffee, and
hain't been heard to swarc Whi iz it that
they are treated like a vagrant fi ller duo,
cod to for a night, paid oph iu the mor
ning, and eagerly forgotton ? '

We have already had io"uToT... . .
the city this year the double suicide (as
wo must call it") in Elizabeth-st., the sui
cide of a rich young man in Filih avc
anu me suiciue or a poor old woman in
Ltivision-st. One of theso victims used a
razor, auother a roap, and the other two
were taken off by a revolver. One ot these
self murders was induced by intolerable
grief, another by dread of destitution, aud
the double suicide was the cliiliax of a
guilty amour. We had in the city last
year no less thnn 111 cases of suicide, 80
of which were men and Pi woman. Ol
the men, 20 shot themselves, 23 po'soucd
themselves, and 18 huug themselves; but
ot the women none resorted to shooting, and
only one hung herself. Poisoning and
drowning were the most common modes of
sell-destruction among the women. Fif
teen of the female suicides poisoned tliem
selvos, 10 drowned them.ezves; and of the
others three stabbed themselves, two cut
their throats, and onejumped from a win
dow. Of tho whole number of suicides
nearly one half (or 50) were Germans,
while 25 were American, and 20 were of
Irish nativity. The record is appalliug
and disgraceful. N. Y. Tribune.
Fox Hunti.no. A man while hunting
on the hills below Coon creek, near La
Crosse, Wisconsin, tracked a fox some dis
tance, and finally "holed" him in a 1ui-g
hollow log that lay against the side hill.
The hole being large enough to admit the
man as well ae tho fox, he thought it best
to captute the sly chicken thief. So put
ting on heavy mittens to prevent tho fox
from biting hiin. he crawled into tha low
- c-
He was abont to bag the game, when, to
his horror.the log began to roll down the hill
with fearful velocity, and the poor fellow
was almost ground to pieces before the log
struck in the road, about a hundred feet
from where it started. Ilia cries for help
were heard by some wood choppers, who
went to the rescue, aud by dint of hard
work, extrioated him in a sorry condition.
Thrteribs were broken aod a shoulder
dislocated. The fox made good his escape
during the excitement.
