The I'reuious Metals. 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

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

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. Yours truly
