unlmrg mtritan. A. k. MaSSER, f. WILVERT. Editcrt. 5UXBURY, MAT H, 1873. Since the partial withdrawal of the Iroops in the coal regions, outrage ly the strikers have become more numerous than ever. This should convince those who were slow to believe that troops in that region were actually uecessary, that those who were loud in their denunciations did uot want the troojw withdrawn, because they believed that quiet would be restored and the strikers intended to prevent the further destruction of property. Since the partial withdrawal of the military the miners have become so bold that they com mit acts of violence iu broad day light. The following outrages have lately been com mitted : A large two-aud-a-half-iuch wire rope, used for drawing coal by the Philadelphia and Heading Company over the Gordon Planes, was cut in five places, corapelliug a temporary stoppage of coal shipments from Shamokin. It is thought the object was to kill the special policemen who pass daily over the Planes. A watchman at the Locust Dale Colliery was bsaten aud robbed of his waicb. An attempt was made on Wcduesday evening to wreck the Pottsville passenger traiu, by placing an iron railroad chair and a heavy log across the track. The same night the railroad telegraph office at Locust Summit was burned down. 'Coffin notices" have again been posted at the mines as warnings. Two breakers have been burned down in the Shamokin region, and miners driven away from their work and the breaker stopped. On Friday night an attempt was made to burn a bridge of the Philadelphia aud Heading Railroad Company, near Locust-Gap. A timely discovery of the flames frustrated the infamous designs of the iocendiaries. Two policemen wete shot, but uot fatally. at the Clearfield mines. The Ninth regi ment is now at Hazlcton, and will remain there. It costs an operator S30.000 per annum to keep his mines clear of water. Some of the operators are stopping their pumps and allowing their mines to fill with water. Large supplies are being sent by encaged miners to the strikers. It is men tioned that besides car-loads of flour, &c, SIOO.OOO is promised. Thin eliows that min ing is profitable at the present wages, and looks like anything else than starvation prices. It is proved that miners make as much as 90 per month, aud laborers 50 per month ! There does not seem to be any present prospect of an early resumption of work, and the losses to all concerned, is almost beyond calculation. Death of Judge Woodward. Intel ligence was received, on Monday, of the death of lion. Geo. W. Woodward ex-Chief Justice of the Supieme Court of Pennsyl vania. He Lad becu traveling in Europe for his health, and died in Rome on Sun day. His death was auuounced yesterday, by Chief Justice Agnew, of the Supreme Court, at its session in Harrisburg. Judge WooJward was born in Bethany; Wayne county, Pa., March i'. 1809, and was GO years of age. lie began the practice of law at Wilkesbarre, in 1S30, and was a mem ber of the Constitutional Convention of 1837-3. He was President Judge of the Fourth Pennsylvania district forteu years, aud served for fifteen years on the Supreme bench, having been Chief Justice for sever al years. In 1803 he was the Democratic candidate for Governor against Mr. Curtin, aud was also identified with the Democratic party. He was a member of the Fortieth aud Forty-lirst Congress, and also a dele gate at large to the late Constitutional Con vention, lie was widely known through out tins Stale, and Lad many friends and admirers, ANOTHER CiiANGK.- President Graut laitt week reniovt d without notice J. W. Dougfa, of Pt-untiyivan'ui, from the office of Commission. r t Internal Rcveuue, and a pinnated in Lis place ex-Senator Pratt, of Indiaua. The first notice Doiiglan had of j the chaugc was tL appearance of tlie Secretary of the Treasury in Ian office with information that Mr. Pratt had accepted the appoiniuit ut ; and upon goiug to the President he found it to be correct. 2io jMjblic reason is given for the change, but a BpecliU uispaicn says mat me x resuieci and Secretary of the Treasury had been for is weeks secretly iuvcstigatiug the extra ordinary phenomenon that contraband whiskey was selling in great quantities. They were aided by secret confidential agents who had covered the whole field, and two of whom Lave made full reports exposing the iimst extensive revenue frauds. We tail readily believe this, says the Gcrmantowu Tik'jrojih, for the thing has liecn notorious for a long time. But the change shows the resolute determination of the President to enforce the revenue laws, and oot to allow the revenues to fall off through any ueglect of his. It is added that the frauds discovered are chiefly at the west. As the new Commissioner is from that region we trtiet that he will look more kharply after the western difltillets. Mr. Douglas was politically a man of no influ ence in Pennsylvania, and hence the ehaugc does not effect the partizan arrange ment in tbe State materially, if at all. It is quite probable that Mr. Douglass will be assigned to another position, better adapted to his scope of efficiency, at an early Jay. The Lite Democratic Iygilature of Ohio did all it could to bring religion and sec tarianism into politics as contentious ques tions. For the purpose of pandering to the Catholics and binding that sect more firmly to the Democratic party. It passed a law excluding all missionary spiritual in struction (such u has heretofore been given by the Young Men's Christian Association and like organizations) from all institutions in Ohio under the State. The law is re reiving very sharp censure and arouses a great deal of indignation in that State. It wa championed by the Catholic Ttlegrajih, aud ti passage is said to have been the social desire of Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati. The Icleyraph was impudent enough to declare that for the passage of the hill "the vote of the Catholic Church, solid d unbroken, would be given to the IK-mocratic party." Such interference of a sect, whether Catholic or Protestant, is to be deplores and condemned. The trvp sent to guard the mines in the vi.-iwiiy of Wilkesbarre were on Tuesday last withdrawn by general Osborne on the ar-urance of the sheriff that he was fully able to preserve the peace and secure the execu l ,,u of the laws. The result will be looked for with considerable interest, as affording to some extent a test of the question of the iiecessity of thft employment of military force in the coal region. The community would assuredly be glad to find a negative on that question, but so far there has not . ! .-on much cround for hope for D jjnswer. The Country 1'ai'ku. The William sport Go-ette and Bulletin truthfully says : "There are few people who possess that kiud of discrimination which moves them to do the country paper full justice. They ure incliucd to look away over the should ers of the country editor, to some papei printing a little more reading, matter, and then make comparisons. There are pedple who actually believe it impossible to find a person with common-sense, with indus try or with braius in the office of the coun try newspaper ; a newspaper can have no charms for them unless it can bo mystified under a 6trange personality, and in buying a copy they proceed upon the same ground as in the purchase of a bar of soap they would rather have one that comes from the city, because it must necessarily be so much greater in every sense than a home production. The same man would laugh at you if you should refuse to patronize the cross roads mill because yon believed von had rathpr ret vour flower from the city. The country newspaper is one of the most important attributes of every town in the United States. When a colony set tles anywhere with the intention of build ing a village the first thought is a newspa per ; the press is thus in the very vanguard of civilization. -It is the useful agent in every place of progress and growth. There is not another single power that can do so much good, patient work in the way of huildin unas the local uewsnaper. It is n . not all together important how it is edited whether with ability or not, so that it be conducted with an industry and an enter prise at least side by side with tbe town if it can afford to keep a few years in ad vance it is all the better. A country paper that had little else than advertisements would be an immense help to any place. for advertisements constitute a most relia ble index to the character, size, business and central situation of a town. To the r? stranger who may have looked in a prospective way upon a place the adver lieements are the tuvaluaoie pari oi uie na iters that have been sent him. Without a newspaper, with its local news and busi ness announcements, what would the aver are American citv or viilasre be ? It would " Bhurely be unknown of its neighbors. The country weeklies ought to be the best supported newspapers of the whole land, for they contain news and gossip that cannot be found in any of the city dailies. The farmer can learn from his local paper if he prefers to take it instead of some more expensive publication how much his neighbor's sixty-acre farm sold for, how the schools arc prospering, the price of butter and eggs at the village market, and what improvements are in progress through the section in which he lives. He can get none of this in the city paper, and he cannot be a thoroughly use ful citizen without such items of light information. It is not always that the best towns support the best newspapers, but it is strickly a fact that no place ever gets the credit of being" thrifty or enterprising until it can send out a first-rate local paper, and that always depends more upon the people than the editor. A Supplemental State Game-Law. At the last session of the Pennsylvania legislature, the followina important sup plement to the law relative to the killiug and pursuing of deer and elk, was enact ed : Sectiou 1. That the first section of said net be amended so as to read as follows, namely : That no person shall kill or pur sue, in any part of this State, any elk, or wild deer, save only from the first day of September to the first day of December, in any year. Xo jersou shall have in his or her pnMctin. r offer fr sale, or trans port, auy elk. or wild deer, or freish ven ison, nave only from the first dav of Sep tember to the first day of December, iu any year. No person shall, at auy time, kill any fawn when in its spotted coat, or have the fresh tkiu of such fawu in hi or her possession. Xo irson shall pursue any elk or wild deer with dogs, in any part of this State, or shall kill, in the water, any such elk, or wild deer, or fawn, which has been driven thereto by .ogs. o person shall, in auy part of this State, set any trap, or auy other device, at any artificial salt lick, or other place, for the purpose of trapping any elk, deer, or fawn, and catch or kill the 6ame, except for consumption iu his or her family ; auy person offending agaiust auy of the provisions of this sectiou, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall lie liable to a penalty of fifty dol lars for each tik, wild deer, or fawn, so killed, pursued or trapped, or fresh elk, wild deer, or fawu skin had in his or her possession, and may be proceeded against in any county of the State wherein he may be arrested, haviug the same in his or pos session : Provided, however. That any person may sell, or have iu his or her pos session, the elk or wild deer aforesaid be tween the first day of Iecember in any year and the first day of February next following, without liability to the penalty herein imposed : Provided. He shall prove that such game, if killed in this State, was killed within tha time allowed by this act, or was killed outside of the limits of this State, and at some place where the law did riot prohibit such killing. Dogs pursuing elk, or wild deer, or fawus, may be killed by any person ; and any constable, or other town official, may kill any dog that habit ually pursues elk, wild deer or lawns, and the owner of such dog shall bo liable to a penalty of ten dollars for each elk, wild deer, or fawns, killed by such dog : . Pro vided, That this act shall be eo coustrued as not to change or alter the act to which it is a supplement, nor to change or alter and supplement thereto, except only as to the time during which it shall be lawful to kill or pursue any elk, or wild dr, in any way, part of this State." Wo commend the following remarks, of the BostonZMi'tyA'eim.to those of our peo ple who arc continually decrying tha men of the present time, and longing for a re turn to "the good old days:'. The history of the early days is as full of pettinens as the present time. The jealousies of mili tary aud political leaders were as mean and marked. Men's lives were as unclean ly, their souls as filled with envy as now-a-iiavo. Pliilin Faeneau was as ready to de ride and defame Washington as Dana and Keld are in these hours to assail President Grant. John Adams thought Jefferson a political scoundrel, and Alexander Hamil ton WAb vilisly lampooned. Yet there was honest purpose, if yioluut prejudices, and may learn the latter aud imitate the form er, if we study the past with open ryes, and candid, unprejudiced miuds." The Richmond Whig is rejoiceiug over the opportunity the Southern members of Congress will have at the next session to vindicate their section. It says : "The soldiers and citizens of the late Confedera cy speaking for themselves through the men who really represent them, are able to give better proof of their fricdch'tp fp the Xorth and their fidelity for the Union, than has beea cr can be given for tliein by the best Democrat of aoy other section I eprikiiijr jn their behalf. THE PAX; Kit TO THE REri'BLIC. The Governorument is to-day assailed by an intrigue as malevolent as any which attacked it when the South was warring to destroy it, and the danger is increased by the fact that those who indulge this bate strive to put it in the shape of public virtue, and would have us believe that what they say of the Government is dictated by a patriotic desire to defend the organic law and prevent those entrusted with the power which it confers from exceeding their legal bounds. It will be remembered that at the be ginning of the slaveholders' revolt there was a constant clamor that the Constitu tion was violated. Whenever Jefferson Davis or John C. Breckenridge aimed at firing the Southern heart, they had only to cry out that the Constitution was in dan ger ; and the singular feature of tbe peril consisted in the fact that it was increased by every defeat which tbe Democratic party encountered. As long as the Demo cracy were in power and were allowed to buy or conquer territory at the national expense to be devoted to the uses of slavery, the Constitution was never once in danger, but immediately when the North, East and West interposed to prevent such official ac tion the Constitution was iu danger, tbe slaveholders began to arm, and a wicked and bloody civil war was precipitated. The coutrolling'i-otive in bringing about that war was to perpetuate the arrogant Southern influence in the National Govern ment. The South could not sustain a sin gle charge which it made against the free States, except that they had outgrown them in population, overleaped them in acquir ing wealth, and, as a logical consequence; exceeded them in political influence and power. Mr. Lincoln's first election de monstrated this fact. Its clearness exas perated the slave-holder, and he resolved to rebel agaiust results which he could not counteract in personal, peaceable coin pet-ion, or in the usual proceedings of politi cal reaction. Then began their memorable clamor against the Republican party, in which the South proclaimed that if the country elected a Republican President it would revolt ! It was an assertion of the rights of the minority, to establish which would have undoue every act made neces sary in the formation of our system of free government. Iu was, nevertheless, pushed to its extreme length, under the sanction of the entire Democratic parly, and ouly fail ed in the arbitrament of war, to which it was submitted, because the loyal sentiment was stronger than the dissloyal-liecause the Republican party had the physical force necessary to crush rebellion. The present danger, issuing directly whence rebellion came, and sustained by the same influence at the North which gave aid and comfort to treason, is that the party which saved the Union, which perpetuated free government, and prevented it from receiving a death-blow, will be made odious and objectionable for having done all this. Before the war was begun the cry in the North and the South was that Repub licanism, was an irritation to the slave holder, and therefore it must be abandoned. It was claimed in a declaration like this that the North, or free States, had no right to adopt ethics or politics, which did not accord with Southern ideas of propriety as J opposed to local interests and peculiar in stitutions ; and the moment it was ascer tained that the sentiment of the North could not be checked by the usual disci pline of political management, so lone exer cised by Southern statesmen rebellion fol lowed. Every political act of the nation that did not harmonize with the South was a wrong on the part of the North, and the Democratic party defended this declara tion. We arc drawn backwards just twenty years by the same class of men. and we have now a repetition of the old clamor. Here is the danger to which we allude. At this very moment there is a gradual and dangerous growth of political senti ment, the tendency of which is to reproach the Government for haviug saved its own life, just as there was a false notion in the South, shared by the Democratic party of the North in 1800. that it was a violation of the Constitution for a majority of the people calliug themselves Republicans to elect a President. If we are to have a political revolution, based on the idea that the Government has acted either unwisely or unjustly to the South, or a reaction prompted by dissatis faction that the Republican party has been unfair to the revolted States in recognizing them, then the original charge of the slave holders, who struck at the Union because the Republican party had elected a Presi dent, was junt, aud the war a righteous one. The Democratic party makes no issues with the Republican party which it did uot make in 1800. The men who now lead the Democratic party led it when it armed for treason in the South, aud covert ly prepared in the North to give it aid and comfort. Whenever and wherever the re publican party is defeated a darker hue is added to the stain which treason put upon the country in 101, aud the results of the war, so far as the Irumpha of law arc con cerned, are reversed. The situation as thus presented is ex ceedingly dangerous the more dangerous because so many ill-advised men, and so many repeclable but designing political as pirants, contribute to give it character. The effort to blame the Government for the condition of the South is of a piece like that which consured the people for giving their consent iu 1S00 to political principles which were at variance with the barbarous dog mas of slavery. If wo overthrow the Re publican party because the South is im poverished, then tlie Republic deserved to be destroyed during the rebellion because the free Slates exceeded the slave States in material wealth and population. If Repub lican administration is wrong in forcing whipped traitors into obedience, then the Republican administration committed a crime when it whipped those men. Follow this reasoning, and you inevitably arrive at the conclusion, to which the Democratic parly has arrived from the hour it allied it self to traitors, that the war for the security of the Union was unconstitutional, that the war debt is illegal, that the abolition of slavery was a usurpation of power, that the sacrifices the North made to sustain the Government were so many slaughters, which ouht to subject those who partici pated in them and survived the conflict to penal prosecutions. Thu Democratic party cannot be reinstated in power on such is sues without inflicting fatal wounds on every principle of right which triumphed when tieastyii was defeated ; aud the ques tiou, therefore, is. Are the people piepared for a result so dangerous V The most in sidious efforts are now being made to hinge political action on the issue as we have staled it; and every clemeut of mischief, of hafe to Republicanism, of disappointed political aspiration, of fallen pride in trea son, of bankruptcy in honor, is being com bined to overthrow a political organization whose existence in jower is the only pre aent safeguard i'mi country can boast to pre vent it from being hurled back to where it was sixteen years wo. Philadelphia Press. Desperate Encounter with her. II ob- A most daring and desperate attempt was made yesterday morning to rob an ex press car on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. The train was the Pacific express, eastward bound. The point at which the robber attempted to carry out his purpose was somewhere be tween Forest and Lima. The express car was in charge of Messenger Price. About three o'clock Price was surprised by the appearance of a man at the rear end of bis car, who summoned him to surrender, and at the same instant fired on him with a revolver. Two shots were fired by the in truder in rapid succession. One ball passed through the arm and cheek of the messenger. The latter immediately re treated to the front of his car, seized his revolver and returned the fire with an aim so precise and steady that his ball took effect in the forehead of his assailant, kill ing him instantly. The would-be robber for such ho un doubtedly was gained admission to the car by sawing a pannel out of the door, lie was closely masked, and had a rope hanging on his arm wilh a noose at the end and a coupling link in bis hand. The rope was a portion of the bell-cord cut from the surplus at the rear end of the car. He had evidently expected to surprise the messen ger while asleep and tie him, but finding him on the alert, resolved to murder him in order to carry out his purpose of rob bery. After the shooting the messenger raug the bell and stopped the train, when several porters on the sleeping cars and brakemen, who had heard tbe reports of the pistols. ran forward. It was with great difficulty, however, that Messenger Price was per suaded to open his car, as he feared the robber had accomplices on the train. The car was finally opened and a hasty exami nation made, when the train came to Crestliue. where the dead robber was uu raasked aud found to be Hiram C. Hinck ley, of Fort Wayne. He was formerly a freight conductor on the road, but was dis charged last week, having been detected in the act of stealing goods from a train which had betn wrecked. An examination of the i car showed that a panel had been cat out of the door of the rear part of the car, and some oats, which had been piled up against the door, removed. The body of the man was placed in charge of the Coroner at Crestline. Price surrendered himself into the custody of the authorities at Crestline, and Mr. McLean, another messenger, brought the "run" to this city. The safe in the car contained about half a railliou dollars. The car, upon its arrival in this city yes terday, was examined by large crowds of people. The rear end of the car was filled wilh oal8 in sacks, which were sent from Cincinnati for the company horses in New York city. The sacks were piled two deep against the rear door of the car. The rob ber or robbers, with a chissel or hatchet, broke the woodwork around the lower panel of this door in order to make an opening for the hand saw. This was ac complished, when the lower panel was sawed squarely out of the door, the pieces falling inside of the car. The saw also cut the sacks lying against the door. Mr. George H. Price, the messenger, has been but a short time on the ruu between Chicago and this city, and is, we believe, a resident of Cinciuuati. He was editor of the Express Messenger, a monthly publica- j tion devoted to the interest of those engag ed in the business. Binckley, it is supposed, had two accom plices, as two men were observed jumping from the train about the time the firing was heard. The deceased was a married man, aud leaves a wife and family at Fori Wayne. Pittsburg Commercial of the 8th inst. Information fou the I'cblic Rules of the Lourd of Pardons. Uuder article IV, section 9, of the ntw Constitution, the power of the Governor to grant commuta tions of sentences and pardons can only be exercised "upon recommendation in writ ing by the Lieutenaut Governor, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Attorney General and Secretary of Internal Affairs, or any three of them, after full hearing, upon due public notice in open session.

There was no dis play of bridal presents, but floral gifts were rich and numerous. After the ceremony the bridal party embarked ou the steamer Abyssinia, for Europe on a wedding tour. Depth of American Lakes. There is a mystery about the American lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty to seventy fuet deep; but Lake Ontario, which is five hundred and ninety-two feet deep, is two hundred and thirty feet below the tide-level of the ocean, or as low as most parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence ; and tha bottoms of Lakes Huron, Michigan aud Superior, although the surface is much higher, are all from their vast depths on a level with the bot tom of Ontario. Now, as the discharge through the river Detroit, after allowing for the probable portion carried off by the evaporation, does not appear by any means equal to the quaulily of water which the three upper lakes receive, it has been con jectured that a subterranean river may ruu from Lake Superior, by the Huron, to Lake Ontario. This conjecture is not impossi ble, and accouuts for the singular fact that salmon and herring are caught in all the lakes communicating with the St. Law rence, but no others. As the Falls of Nia gara must have always existed, it would puzzle the naturalist to say how these fish got into the upper lakes without some sub terranean river ; moreover, and periodical obstruction of the river would furnish a not improbable solution of ths mysterious flux and reflux of the lakes.

Telegraphic News. ntlGIITFl X CALAMITY. l.omn orthe Seliiller" Wrecked on the scilly Islands-Over Three Hundred Lives Lost A night of gloom and horror. Cable dispatches from London bring the sad news of another ttrrible steamship cal amity. On the 28th ult. the steamship S:hillcr, Captain John G. Thomas, of the Eagle line, sailed from New York for Ham burg, via Plymouth and Cherbourg. The Schiller had crossed the Atlantic safely, and wa3 making for her first port. Her course was up the English Channel, throush the Straits of Dover into the Ger man Sea. Friday night. May 7, found her off the Scilly Islands, near the coast of Englaud. The night was made doubly dark by a j heavy fog which wrapped everything iu ! impenetrable gloom. At 10 o'clock the ! ship drove on the Retarricre ledge, near j Bishop's Rock, about thirty-five miles from ! Land's End. All that science and wise forethought could do seem to have been dono to lessen the perils of this dangerous part of tbe Brutish coast.' But the lights could not have been seen nor tbe fog bell heard as the Schiller crashed into the rocky reefs that have taken down many n good mail matter, at least 200 of which contained the Australian mail. TnE Wreck of the Schiller. London. May 0 Evening. Forty-three survivors of the crew and passengeis of the steamer Schiller have arrived at Penzance. Of these thirty-three have gone to Plymouth ; the remaining ten are too ill to be moved. The following additional particulars have been received : A heavy fi2 preven ted observation on board of the Schiller after last Tuesday. Iu consequence of the fog. the engine was put at half speed, and sail was reduced at nine o'clock on Fri day night. At 10 o'clock the same ni-jht the ship struck the ledge. A great panic prevailed. Captain Thomas is highly praised for his conduct during the terrible scenes which followed. Two boats were filled with men who refused to come out. The Captaiu fired bis revolver over their heads to drive them out. and then fired at litem, but without effect. Afterward the ship was washed with her broadside to the sea, and all of those on board of the two boats iwrished. the tackle at the stern having been released too soon, leaving the boats suspended by the bows. Three boats then got away. One of them, a life-boat, was so badly injured that she sank, but eleven of the people on board of her were rescued by the other boats. The fog lifted an hour after the steamer struck and the lights were plainly visible. Two of the boats on the steamer were crushed by the falling of the funnel. Rock ets and guns were fired from the steamer uutil the powder became wet. The dock-house, crowded with people, was swept away at 2 A. M. The captain gathered some of the survivors on the bridge, but all were gradually swept away by the flood tide, which took the doctor and the captain last. The rigging whith remained above water was crowded with passengers and crew all niaht. The mainmast feel at 7:30 A. M., being of iron, sank with all who had taken refuge ou it. The foremast gave way soon afterward. Life-boats and pieces of the wreck saved the lives of some, though many were drift ed several miles away. One man was res cued after being in the water ten hours. Two boats from St. Agnes arrived a short time before the masts fell. They were unable to approach the steamer on account of the shoals, bqt picked up strag glers in the water. The passengers say that Capt. Thomas left the bridge 3 A. M. to assist those on the deck, rnd when he reached the deck was swept away by a heavy sea. All con cur in saying that he exercised the greatest care, and was not in bed for five nights previous to the disaster. The sea began to break over the vessel half an hour after she struck, aud the tide rose twenty-five feet before day break. Only one woman was saved. The survi vors who were lauded at Tresco had escap ed in the Schiller's boats. LATER ADVIC ES. London, May 104 A. M. Fifty-six mail bags' including twenty se.veu from New Zealand, were saved from the Schiller. The steamer Fomerania sailed from Ply mouth during the night for Hamburg, without taking any of tbe survivors of the Schiller. The statements made by the officers of the Schiller add nothing to the particulars already telegraphed. All accounts agree that the panic which followed the sinking of the ship was heart-rending and terrible beyond description. PICKINO UP THE DEAD. London, May 10. Boats cruising in the vicinity of the wreck of the Steamship Schiller continued to pick up bodies of the drowned. When the steamer left St. Mary's Island to-day nearly fifty have been found. Seven mail bags, in addition to those reported re covered, have been saved. They contain ed mostly San Francisco and Auckland newspapers. THE WRECK UNAPPROACHABLE. London. May 10. The sea is too heavy to day for boats to approach the wreck of the Schiller. No floating salvage of and importance has yet been recovered. Fish ermen report that the Schiller is firmly settled ou the rock, and will not fall of into deep water. Although it is difficult to ap proach the wreck now, there will be many days in summer when salvage may be ef fected. ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE WOMEN. There was a life belt in every one of the cit'Her's berths. When the disaster oc cured the captaiu issued orders that a belt should ba fastened to every woman. This was done, but the women were drowned by the heavy sea. CORONER'S INQUEST HOW THE CALAJII TY MIGHT HAVE BEEN AVERTED. London, May 10. An inquest was held to-day at St. Mary's, on twenty bodies from the steamer S:htlkr. II. Hillers, first officer of the Schiller, testified that at the time the vessel struck Captain Thomas and another officer were on the bridge, two men were looking out forward and two others were on the bridge with the captain. The jury rendered a verdict of 'accident ally drowned, 'coupled with a recommenda tion that a telegraph be established between Bishop's Lighthouse and the shore. They express the opinion that if such communi cation had existed all on board the Schiller would have been saved. Officers Hillers and Poleman concur in this opinion BURYING THE BODIES. The remains of Hermione Weste were privately buried after the inquest. The bodies unclaimed wero also buried. The funeral was attended by Mr. Dorrien Smith, the owner of the Scilly Islands ; the coroner and members of the jury, and nearly all the inhabitants of the Islands. The bodies were first numbered, and care ful record was made of the valuables, mark9, &c, found on each. They were then inclosed in sepcrate cof fins. Two graves were dug, each twenty five feet long, and in these the coffins were placed in two layers. Since the inquest was held, 50 more bodies have been washed ashore, or been nicked up. The total number uow recovered is 01. Great Excitement at Kingston. Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 7. Last night was an exciting one iu Kingston. A procession of from fifty to one hundred miners, with torches and arm cd with guns, revolvers and clubs, marched to the dwellings of men who are working in Hutchinson 's and PayBe's mines, and gave them notice to quit work or the penal ty would be death. Tho result has been Payne's men refused to return to work this morning. Three of Hutchiuson's men, while on their way to the shaft, were fol lowed by a gang of women and chidren and pelted wilh stones uutil they were forced to seek safely in flight. A constable into whose hands warrants for the arrest of the persons who beat Mc Dabe were placed and ouahle to serve them to-day. To- morrow a posse will accompa ny him, and serious trouble is expected. miner March to Work Armed the Teeth. to Wilkesbarre, May 11. About thirty men went to work in Hutchinson's colliery this morning. They marched from their home3 in a body, and I were armed with rifles and revolvers. A crowd of men, women and boys followed tbem, with threats and imprecations, and were only deterred from acts of violence by the weapons of the workmen. The women were particularly bitter with invectives, and at one point in the mile march nearly precipitated a conflict. Threats were made to have a crowd this eveniug when they came out of the mine large enough to mob them. Through fear of this tbe authorities were called upou this morning by Mr. Hutchinson for piotection, aud a posse is now beinii raised togto Kingston I bis afternoon. eto bbfrtiscmntS. v. uouT E.

The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple machine in all its parts and processes. It i easily understood ; familiarity with its action is very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any practice of special skill in the operator. Tbe superior advantages obtained In the "Do mestic" are mainly : 1. Light Running. 2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels. 3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch. 4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con struction. 5. Absence of all Friction. 6. Ureat range of Work. 1. Ease of Operation. We do not say that the "Domestic" Is the on'y Machine worthy of public favor. We admit there are some possessing real and acknow ledged merit i but we doclaira,and are prepared to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has many excellence that render it deeitltdly superior to. any other Afatkitit now before the public. Let every woman, therefore, examine for her self Into lis merits when she buys a machine This is an important purchase, not to be care lessly made ; one that will Influence her com fort, probably for a long time. With a Domes tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing become a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in stead of a slow manual drudgery ; sue will have tile time and strength to add beauty and elegance to work in which before she has been obliged tr content hcrelf with bare utility.
