The pro duction of'precious metals by the Pacific Slope reached during the last quarter of a century $1,583,644,934, of which California mines produced three-fourths, nearly all ol which latter was in gold. The amount obtained is now increasing yearly, partly from the opening of new mines, but chiefly from the introduction ofimprovod methods of extracting the precious metals from the ores. The yield of the Pao'fio Slcpo last year was ?80,287,43G, against 570.230,914 in 1872. The increase is mostly In silver, a much more useful metal than gold, ex cept for coinage. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has 834,020 pupils, and 19,089 teachers The average wages of male teachers per month, $42,02. Total expenditures for schools, $8,812,964,25. Estimated value of the schwl property of (he State, 821,750,109. The new constitution makes through provisions for the school system of the State. It requires the General Assembly to provide for the maintenance and support ot a through and efficient aystetn of publio schools wherein all the children ol the Common wealth above the age of six years may be educated, and that at least ono mil lion of dollars shall be appropriated each year for that purpose. No special laws relating to particular schools can be passed. The commissioners having the subject in charge have decided against immediate proceedings towards the establishment of a State Mechanical High School, but have recommended the appropriation of $50,000 for the in troduction of free haud drawing into the common school. Fastest Railroad Train in America. The newspaper train on the Pennsylvania railroad now carries a passenger coach. It starts from Jersey City at 4:10 a m, and arrives at West Philadelphia at 6:57. The section be tween New Brunswick and Trenton is run at the rate of a mile a tuhute. The train has been in operation about a year and has met with but one accident, when it struck a carriage, killing two persons. When the train was first put on it was manned by an engineer, fire man and two men to handle the papers. They were volunteers, and signed a paper releasing the company from all responsibility in case ot accident. Upon no pretense or plea was any person allowed to ride. The enmpany, finding that the train was as safe as any other, and tiist an additional car would add to its safety by giving more ballast to the locomotive, have added a passenger car thereto and opened the line to the pub lie. Horrible Death. Yesterday after noon, about a quarter past one o'clock, a terrible case of death was witnessed in the large saw mill of G. W. anda & Co., on the opposite sido of the river, in Armstrong tounchip, this county. Mr. Thomas Leland, circular filer on this mill, was at work on a gang edger of four circular saws, and was sitting on the feed roller, with a foot on each side of the saw he was filing, when, without a second's warning, the '-tightner" slip ped and threw tho saws into motion saws ihathave eighteen hundred revo lutions to the minute and the unfortu nate man was immediately whirled through the small opening to the eleva tor below, a corpse mangled so terribly that it was with difficulty hij fellow workmen could gather up the several members in such a shape as to make the body appear like that of a human being. The left arm was cut off, the right arm nearly severed from the body, bowels torn out, the legs almost cut off and the top of the head sawed almost through. In fact there was not a bone in tho body which had not been cut into by the saws. Will ianuport Register, June 24. Very Sad. Jamestown was sud denly thrown into mourning last Satur day morning over the tragio death of Mrs. R. A. Osmer and child. It ap pears that she had been poorly since de coration day when she was injured by over work. Her friends bad for a few days noticed that she acted a little strangely and feared her health was failing. On Saturday morning Mr. Osmer arose as usual and went to his barn. Returning soon after, his wife and little girl aged about 5 years were missing. He commenced immediate search and found both in the -cistern of water down cellar already dead. It seems that Mrs Osmer arose soon after he went out, in her night clothes, and told her nurse girl who usually dressed the child that she would dress her that morning. The girl supposed she was doing it up stairs till Mr. Osmer came in and inquired for them. Surrounded by every comfort and happiness of life, it is do doubt another strangely Bad freak of a mind diseased, "like sweet bolls jangled out of tune," To end one's own life thus, is shocking. But to take with her own that of inno cent childhood fondly trusting in a mother's love and protection, almost surpasses belief Warren Mail, Correction. It any luckless quilt driver imagines his items are not read, just let the type make a blunder for him and he will come to a different conclu sion. For instance in noticing the death of Caleb Thompson last week, they said he was "an noclo of Y. R. Thompson of Pine Grove and a brother-in-law of S. P. Allen, now of Glade." We have been informed 499 hines or less that he was the father of V. R. Thompson, aod several other Thompsons and father-in-law of 8. P. Allen and consequently grandfather of a good many Aliens. We hasten to corect. The fact is we never could keep the run of the Allen family, or the Smith fain tly, or the Jones family, or the Brown family, aod never expect to. We only wish they may all "live long and pros per" so we shall not have their obituaries at all. Warren Mail. Robbery. On Monday night, June 22d scoundrels broke into the store of Mr. R. Mos8op, in this place, for the purpose of robbery. The thieves affected an entrance from the rear of the building, by boring through three doors and then shoving back the bolts. Upon reaching the store room they broke opeu two alarm money drawers, but their only reward was, prehaps, a few dollars in nickle coin. Some tobacco and several pairs of shoes were found in the rear of the building, on Tuesday morning, indicating that they carried off some goods, but no great quantity, so far as could be discovered on a causal examination. We hope the thieves may be discovered and punished for their crime. In this connection we may mention that two attempts have recently boen made to get into another establish ment in this place, but the thieves were deterred from doing so by arousing some of the inmates. Our merchants should take some precautionary measures to prevent such raids upon their prem ises, as the present hard times are cal culated to superinduce petty thieving in our midst. Raftsman Journal. The Business Outlook. The fiuaucial editor of tho Philadelphia Ledger thinks that on the whole the business outlook seems to favor an early and decided improvement. There may be some few further failures, but these must briDg the buttom, which must be first touched, the uearcr, and so ensures the earliest revival. While some rail way corporations have defaulted, others have got upon a good basis and are doing well. Farmers at the West are doing better this year than lust, and everywhere money is plentiful beyond jr. cedent. California has secured her wheat crop, worth probably $25,000, 000. Oregon has also a large surplus lor export. Tho 1st of July is semi annual dividend diy, when millions of dollars will be paid in interest. Where all this money is to find safe and profi table iuvestmeut is a question not cu to decide. With so much capital scat tered all over tho couotry, and interest so low on all money put out on call, with the grain crops full of promise, and the cotton crop to be, in all probability, far more than we anticipated six week since, there is every reason to hope for a better state of business in the coming autumn. That the business outlook is more encouraging than for many months is not disputed by anybody ex. cept chionio croakers and such profes sional speculators as have money staked and "stand to win" on a continuuuee ot the depression of the past few months, and on a further decline in the prices ol securities aod commodities. Its Kff ect. The stock market in New York city is where the first effect of a new financial measure is felt. The buoyancy caused by the new finauciul measure of Congress, promises well for the future business of the country. We quoto from the N. Y. papers as to its effect. The Time of June 22d says: This has been a day of considerable excitement and activity in the Stock market, and in very marked contrast to the heavy and uncertain days that were witnessed here during tbe past mouth. Early in the day the information reached the Street that the President had signed the Currency bill, and tho result was a buoyancy and strength in every class oi investment such as ba's not been kuowo in many weeks. The Tribune has this: The main topic of interest in Wall-st, yesterday was the signing ot tbe Finance bill by the President. The aunouoce came soon alter the opening of business aod caused great buoyancy in the stock market while different theories prevailtd as to the ultimate effect. The Presi dent's action was not unexpected, as the tribune's Washington telegrams bad an nounced what his decision would be. In tbe general gossip on the effect of the bill, all sorts ot opinions and theories were advanced. Many seemed to think that the bill meant expansion. Others thought that the main feature was con traction, inasmuch as the hanks were compelled to keep a reserve of five per cent, in legal tenders in order to redeem their circulation. By far the most satisfactory provission was. that which fixed a specific limits to the circulation. The general idea seemed to be that the fluctuations in tbe volume of the cur rency have been one of the greatest evils in the present monetary system, and that the clause fixing the circulation at $382,000,900 would at least enable merchants and traders Kenerallv to cal culate on fixed basis for the immediate future LETTES FI1C1I OHIO. New Straitsvillo, O., June 27, '74. Dear Advocate: I noticed an item in your paper, concerning tho miner's strike in Nelsonville, and vicin ity, of which I have been a witness and can give you a true statement of the case. Last March the strike commenced, at which time the last year's contract had not expired but run until May 1st, at three and one hall cents per bushel; the operators wautud to contract with the miners, and made an offer of two i ml halt cents for six months and three cents for the remainder of the year, commencing April 1st 1874. The miners wanted three and three and one half cents consequently no agreement could be had and the strike was declared at Nelsonville, Straitsville, and Shaw nee, and all came out. Tho Shawnee mines running part ot the time until the first of May, when they mado a con tract at 66 cents per ton and have been doing good work ever since. Nelsonville is about ton miles from Straitsville and Shawnee about 2 miles. They have been trying to get a settle ment ever since the strike commenced but could not agree; ever time the min ers came to the terms the operators would make a still lower offer. About two weeks ago the Nelsonville operators shipped in two hundred aod fifty negroes with fifty white men to guard them, ull armed. A week later they shipped in fifty negioes and fifty guards more. Some of the tit grocs have left, about one hundred and fifty were sent away by a subscription raised by the people about tho couotry; they are coming and going all the time. The miners have been very civil and decent, considering the excitement, for the operators have turned them out of the company's houses so that they have been obliged to live in tho woods men women and children, and a great many of them are in a starv ing condition, while the negroes are at work in their places, guaided by a military force. I think they are work ins; about three hundred in the vicinity of Nelsonville; as to Straitsville it is the closest times I ever saw, for there are many families here that have very little, and some have nothing to cat, only as they can beg it. They are trying to get a settlement by voting work or no work, and the miners have a meeting this evening to vote whether they will dig coal at the offer made them, GG cents per ten, for one year, which is a ruinously low price, but if they don't aocept it, we expect to see four hundred negroes, with militia in the quiet little city of New Straitsville, which will undoubtely cause a great excitement which will be something uew to the people as they have had nothing but quiet, for some time, with six or seven hundred coal cars standing on the track waiting to be loaded.

When a man gets into the clutches of our Government authorities, on such charges as have been preferred against Uerrinoton, he will find it dffijult to cs oape punishment, and from what we have heard of ihe Ramjet, we believe any effort looking to its suppression is right and proper.
