EXCITING SCENE ON A RAILUGAD—PIRTOI
Dit&w AND LIFE THREATEN P.D.—Passengers f rom

were treated to a scene not often witnessed on u

pears that a man named Birch, a resident t f

lion of being - very excitable at all times—got
aPoard the train to come up home. Before reach-
Pottstown he took It Into his bead .to kick the
glass out of the ear windows. This was against
the rules, and the conductor told him so; but
Birch didn't care a d—dollar's worth for Abe
rules, the Railroad Company nor the conductor ;
he was bound to kick out Just as many windows
us be pleased. The conductor didn't believe he
would kick out many more, and called in a brake
man to put Birch off the train at the Pottstown
station. While in the net of performing the work
ejectment, Birch—who ban gained some con
siderable notoriety In Reading of late yearn, for
currying weapons and threatening , to shoot—drew
a revolver on the Conductor. The Conductor
hastened to' the baggage ear, •followed by his
blood-thirsty antagonist; and got hold of his own
revolver. Both were now fully armed, and ready
for the fray. Birch took up his position behind a
box of dry goods, and the stove served as a shield
to the Conductor. From these entrenched *posi
tions volley after volley of haid words were fired
across the cur—neither of the belligereuts eating
- o fire the first solid shot, although their trusty
shooting irons stood at full cock, either ready to
respond to the other In an Instant. The question
was dlsenssed„—" who dare fire first—".from
Pottstown to-Birdsboro, at which latter place the
forces under command of the Conductor ma.
rounded the demoralized Birch, and hustled him
off tbe train, since which time nothing has been
heard from him. The trials of a conductor of a
railroad train are bard, and we are only surprised
that we don't hear of more dead men from that

SUIT FOIL DMIAGE.B.—The terrible catas
trophe at Hein & Olassmyer's Colliery, near New
`Philadelphia, whirls occurred last August, caused
by a cage loaded - with miners falling down the
shaft, Is doubtless fresh In the minds of our rend
ers. Patrick Day was one of the men on the
cage, and escaped with but slight Injury. A
short time singe he commenced suit against the
proprietors of the colliery to recover damages.
Yesterday morning tho case came up before a
court of arbitration, Hughes Jc Farquhar counsel
for plaintiff, and Bartholomew and 0. P. Bechtel,
for the defence. One witness was examined, af
ter which Day was calltd to the stand, and after
stating that there were twelve men on the cage at
the time of the accident, Mr. Bechtel stated
that that was sufficient evidence In the case, as
the mining law expressly prohibited more than
ten men upon any, one cage at one time. This
was a poser, and the arbitration closed thus ab
ruptly.--.l.finer's Journal.
A. PECULIAR CASE.—Our readers will re
member the item published is the Express some
months ago, concerning the ,arrest of Charles
Brodie, clothier, on Bouth Third street, by one of
1118 Philadelphia credhors, on the charge of ob
taining goods by misrepresentation, which charge,
however, he was afterwards acquitted of, and per
mitted to compromise and settle with his creditors.
Mr. 11. Freeitch, the father-in-law of liwthc, I
seems, endorsed the notes given in settlement to
the creditors, and assumed the stock of clothing,
appointing Mr. John Metzgar to take charge
of the establishment, and Mr. C. Beetbe to assist.
For some time the stock appeared to diminish
rather more rapidly than the receipts seemed to
warrant, and In consequence the suspicions of
Mr. Frcelich were aroused. After giving the affair
a thorough investigation, it was discovered that a
number of boxes of geode had been hauled away
from the store at night, and carted to a house up
the Lehigh, and afterwards were hauled to the
Lehigh .L• Susquehanna depot, and shipped to
Elizabeth, N. J., thence to Rahway. Brettie, who
was among the missing, could not be found at
either of the places mentioned ; but, on Saturday
last made his appearance again in Easton, when
two of Mr. Frce itch's friends visited his house, but
were denied admittance by Bream, who was In
toxicated, and seemed disposed to be troublesome.
Ile was arrested and, placed in Jail by Sheriff
Walton to await further developments. On Mon
day last Ihrthe's wife, who Is a daughter of Mr.
Frailich, went to Rahway, and bad the goods re
iurnedio her father, who, this morning, appointed
three persons to appraise them. The goods con
sist of whole plecen of cloth, spool cotton, clot It
lug, furnishing goods, etc., the value of which has
been estimated at about $l,OOO.

.fiIEMOIL/AL STONE AT FaroDENR:RITTEN.=
A c orrespondent of the Bethlehem Times say, we
learn that Thursday the lfith of June next, tho
day fixed for the dedication of a memorial-stone,
now being; erected on the she of the old Moravian
Mission of Frledenehotten, n mile below Wyaltis-
log Station, (Bradford county) on the line of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad.
In the evening of tbo 14th there will be service
In the Second Presbyterian Church of Wyaln,lng
(Rev- David Craft) nud In the In enoon of the
15th of the aforementioned month, the dedicatory•
exercises on the field will be held. A goodly num
ber from Bethlehem, we understand, design to be
present. lid. Rev. Anndeus A. Reinke, pastisr of
the Moravian church in Now York, MIS agreed
to deliver an historical address on the occasion.
The ceremonies on the field will be very appro
priate, as Moravian music will lie furnlshed—Und
this by the trombone quartette of the First Mora
vian Church of Philadelphia.
In the Spring of 1765, the Moravian Indians,
. _
(Mohicans nod Delawares) who during the iron ,
blous times of the second Indian war (Pontiac's
war) had found an asylum in the capital of the
province—were at the dawn of peace led by the
missionaries to a site that had been selected by
them, on one of those beautiful flats which at in
tervals skirt the shores of the Susquehanna—there
to build a settlement. This step was taken with
the approval of the Sly Nations, the lords of the
soil. It was the oth of May,1761, when these pil
grims, after traversing the wilderness that then
stretched between Bethlehem and W 1 oming, halt
ed a mile below the mouth of the Wyalui ing
Creek, and encansped on the .left bank of the
charming river that flows through "the land
abounding in the sugar-tree." Here a town Was
ball!, which in 1766 was named Friedensbutten,
that is to say, " lints of Peace." It was, it is
true,ot hopeful name, but the promises it told,
were not to be fully realized. Rev. John Jacob
&Mulch, and Johanna, lila wife, ministered to
the spiritual wants of these Christian Indians, for
most of the time, during their occupation at Wy
alusing, Rev. David. Zeisberger, John Roth nod
John G. Jungman, were also evangelists at the
town. It grew to be a well,ortlered and well built
a Otlement, a cluster of log cabins around a chapel,
from whose turret the morning and the evening
bell, on week days ;la well as on the Lord's day,
sounded strangely yet sweetly through the seclud
ed valley In turning the hills. No wonder that the
savages, who passed this way, traveling along the
great thoroughfare that connected North and
South, marvelled at what they saw and heard at
Friedensbuttes. The life of the Indian there,
under the shadow of the llOutte of Grid, and under
the Influence of Christian eitlime, was a trans
formation from that which they themselves led in
the forest and In the swamp, such as to confound
their stoicism—and have them pause and reflect.
The 'Munition Mli6loll at Wyalti,ltrt: became
linoWn alllo lg the aborigenes, as well as was the
great Council lire at Onondaga. By baptism and
reception Into clitireli-fellowship, this community
converted Indians hi numbers. And now the
Mission prospered; and• a hope Was entertained
that its seat was pernmoently Bye 1. But the'
Treaty.
Treaty of Fort Stanwix, (1765) at which the Six
Nation Indians conveyed to the Proprietary Gov-
ernment a large region of country bordering on
the Susquehanna, In the !anthem part of the pro
vlnce, (there Were 11111110os of acres exchanged for
about slo,ooo)—opened the door to white settle
ment within Its limits. There also ensued a sea
son of contention and blood-shed In the well
known struggle betiveen the Pennsylvanians and
the Connecticut settlers, for the possession of Wy
lg. Both of these agitations foreshadowed a
.age—a change of proprietorship hi "the land
a - mooting In the sugar-tree"—a change of Ina
naple 7 orchards and natural meadows into plowed
fields and pastures 'for flocks and herds—and a
change of habitation for the Indian. The white
man Waft again at his heels. And in this way It
ermine to pass that the " Huts of Peace" at Wye
lasing were abandoned, and that. the Moravian.
Indians migrated In a body toward the Stilltia of
the sun, whither men of their OWE) blood had in
vited them to coins and plant. This migration
fell In the Summer of 1772, mud was undertaken
under the guidance of Rev. John Ettwein, of Beth
lehem, and the missionary, John Roth. Oa the
11th of June ofahat year, Friedenshutten was de
serted by ha inhabliauta, as they, set their faces
toward the land of promise, they and their child
ren, their horses and their cattle. It was a move
ment such as we read of In the history of nomad
peoples, and therefore a novel experience for a
race whose progenitors were, and whose kinsmen
in the East to this day are averse to a sociable
mode of life, or to moving lit tn LeieSpreferring
Instead to roam, pluuder and kill In Insignificant
bards nn land and at sea.
We stated that it was the 11th of June, 1772,
when the Moravian Indians on the Susquehanna
(numbering 211 souls all told) turned their backs
fortver an the fertile flats barn by the Wyaluslog•
Thus It appears that the spot was the seat of a
mission, for almost seven years. Ilere Christ was
preached by servants of Christ ; here the ordi
nances of his Church were administered, and here
men and women 'were led to lay hold of eternal
life. To this day there repo4e unto the resurrec
tion of the just, the rein tins of Christian Indians
on the site of Frledenshutten. In view of this it
Is not unmeet that Its place be marked, and also,
that generations to come may know where one of
a number of efforts was made to ameliorate the
deplorable condition of the people who dwelt In
the tress" world before its - occupation by a more
highly favored race. _

Leaving Allentown at eight o'clock thirty-five

SALISBURY AFFAIRS.—Now School houses.
—lt Is rumored that the Salisbury Begird of
School Directors Intend erecting a new public
school building, near the new furnace, or a second
story one at flofford's school house. As the latter
scorns not only the most feasible, but is the only
way to success in school work, It Is truly hoped
this plan will be executed. Graded schools pos
sess advantages over mixed schools.
A Praiseworthy Enterprise.—The citizens of the
vicinity are agitated with the question of building
a hall or public building to be devoted to the use
of the Sunday School, religious and educational
Interests. The citizens have had the matter in
considet,tlim for a years and n strong inclina
tion royai6 at pro:, to iiirmig,.te the matter..
Accordingly a meeting will ha held on Wednes
day evening of this week, to hear more fully Use
voice of the people. Numerous and largo sums
have been pledged for the support of the cense
and a unanimous spirit exists to push the enter
prise.

resident having to a greater or lens extent One of

It Interferes so slightly with other work. There
is no reason why every one who has soil In care

A GOAL SHAFT ON FIRE
18 Men Suffocated--20 Rescued.
,Darn► at Scone of Accident.
PITTSToN, May 28.—A column of
smoke, which soon grew dense, rising from
the shaft of the West Pittston mine yesterday
altelmon, at 2 o'clock, told that the shaft was
on fire, and caused an immediate rush of all
the people about here for the rescue of the
numerous miners known to be below. There
succeeded 24 hours of desperate exertion to
subdue the tire and to penetrate the recesses of
the mine before all the unfortunate men should
be suffocated. Si the end of that period, the
last of the 38 who had been entombed was
bought to the surface. Eighteen were dead.
Most eel the others were in a state of insensi
bility when found, but recovered upon reach
ing the air above ground. With the horrors
of Avondale , fresh in their minds, few had
dated to hope , that any of these men could be
saved ; and the grief st I. ken women and
zhilelren clustered as near as they could about
the Mouth of the shalt, wailing piteously, and
almost hopelessly awaiting the re,-Mit of the
search below. To some of them, who were
at tied appalled by the sight of the apparently
lifeless body of a husband when brought to
the stuffier, there came the great happiness of
fluffing that it was but a seeming death. But
rising above all else were the loud lamenta
thins of newly-nuffie widows and orphans, and
strong men paled as they worked akout the
As the news of the disaster spread people
came from all the country round, on foot and
in carriages and other conveyances, and there
have been here already over 10,01'0. The
bustle, excitement and violent anguish at
tending the efforts at rescue, are now sue.
ceeded by. settled gloom and stillness, though
within houses here and there the sobs of te
reaved ones are heard.
The West Pittston mine is owned and op
crated by Brown & Blake. It has but one
opening, and, as required by the provisions
of the Ventilation act, passed after the Avon
dale calamity of last year, gangs of men were
at work opening a second shaft. At 2p. m.
the engineer began hoisting out those who
were below, their eight hours' work having
been completed. Three carriage loadsof own
had been raised when the tire was discovered.
It spread rapidly along the dry wood-work
above and down the sides of the shaft. The
situation thus became a perfect parallel to
that at Avondale. The engineer remained at
his post, and though enveloped in smoke,
lowered and hoisted the carriage four times;
but, it seems, no more men were brought up.
The rope was then burned off, the carriage
fell into the shaft, and the engineer, after be
ing much Injured made his escape from the
finuies. The mouth of the shaft is conspicu
ously located. so that all the people of the
valley were speedily made aware of the dis
aster,and hurried to the piece.
By 3 o'clock the breaker and euginediouse
were nearly consumed, and men bad begun
clearing away the debris, to enable the fire
men to get to work as soon as possible. Mean•
time, fire engines had been telegraphed for, 1 1
and soon arrived from Pittston, Kingston,
Wilkesbarre and Scranton, The Susque
hanna is half a mile distant, and it was neces
wiry to bring water from it. A line of 500
men, with buckets, was formed, teams were
engaged in hauling water, and locomotives
were employed in bringing up their tanks full
of water for the supply of the steamers.
It was 6:30 o'clock before the steady streams
of water poured into the mouth of the shaft
lout subdued the fire so as to enable the shaft
to lie cleared and preparations to be made for
a descent. Thousands of men, women - and
children had in the meantime assembled from l i
every direction. It became ' necessary to
,stretch ropes about the mouth of the shaft, and
to adopt a system of police, as at Avondale,
to keep back the crowd. Meanwhile numer•
oussuptrintendents, managers, cogineers,and
other leading men had arrived, and the work
proceeded more systematically than in the first
hours of wild terror and excitement.
At 7 a dog was let down into the shaft for
some distance, and after remaining three min•
utes was brou4ht up alive. He was then
lowered to the bottom, 280 feet, and on being
raised, after five minutes, was found to be rip•
parently uninjured. This gave hope for the
safety of the miners. But when a temporary
framework was placed at the mouth; and Wil
liam Low of the Pennsylvania Coal Company
had been lowered 76 feet, with a rope attached
to his leg, lie reported serious obstructions in
the shaft. It was then feared that before they
could be cleared and the men reached they
would be drowned by the rise of water in the
mine, if not suffocated hours befo - re.
At 8 o'clock the toilsome clearing of the
shaft began, two men descending upon the
carriage, with axes and a pall of water, and
tearing away the half-burned timbers as they
proceeded. Others relieved them, and at the
end of three hours the way was cleared for
only 100 feet, but beyond that point the ob
structions were much fewer. A partition, to
aid in producing upward and downward cur.
'rents of air was constructed as they descended,
the old partition having been .burned.
At 12;30 they reached the bottoM of the
shaft, end brought to the surface one man,
Andrew Morgan, residing at Brandy Putch,
Pittston. Ile was in a comatose state, and
insensible. They also found Hiram Curtis,
dead, lying with his face in the wider. At
12:44 they reported that the men hod barrica
ded themselves in and sent up the cage for
more men and tools. But little bdpes were
then entertained for the safety of the remain
ing victims„pud the excitement becatne grea
teal= ever. Up to 8 o'clock this morning
24 teen had been brought to the top;of which,
number six were dead.. All were insensible
when brought out, but one or two have so far
recovered as to be able to give an account of
themselves. Andrew Morgan, who was the
first one discovered last night, Is still alive,
though, his recovery is yet doubtful. Ho is
still unconscious. The exploring parties were
compelled to proceed with the utmost caution
and were frequently brougfit out asphialated
with foul gasses.
At 10 a. to., 80 men had been brought put,
10 of whom were dead, and at noon not more
than one or two remained in the mine. Every
one of the men brought up since 10 a. to. was
found stone dead.
At 2:30 p. m. the last man, Benj. J. Jones
who was supposed to be crushed under the
carriage, was brought 'up alive. He was
found in a distant portion of the mine. There
have now been taken out 38 men, of whom
18 were dead.
At the scene of the' catastrophe the excite
ment has been almost indescribable. Thou
sands of people crowded around the month of
the pit In their eagerness to see mnd hear.
Vehicles of all descriptions have conic on the
ground from all directions, and from every
portion of the Wyoming and Lackawanna
valleys; and the streets of Pittston and West
Pittston are crowded with pedestrians hurry
ing to and from the scene of the dististcr.

Is false and dangerous. Within the last twenty-five years
•ot less than a score of virulent poisons have been added
to the repository of the medical profession. They are
given in Man doses, otherwise they wobid destroy Info
Immediately; but oven in minute quantize •s, they produce,
ultimately, very disastrons effects It in nn who and an•
philosophical to employ, no remedies, powerful and braid.
lons drugs, which, In subjugating ono disease, sow the
seeds of another still more immonageable. None of these
terrible medicaments operates with an much directness
and certainty upon the courses of 1nt1... Hostetter's
gtomitch Hitters, a tonic and corrective. without it
deb terious ingredient in its cone posit ion. Arsenic and
quirt's are given for intermittent',; bromide of potassium
for nervous disorders; strychnine and prussic acid for
general debility; mercury. In various forms, fur liver
complaint; preparations of chloroform and OPIUM for
sleeplessness; and yet these deadly drugs do not compare,
as specifics for the diseases 10010 nlMUletilted, with that
wholesome vegetable ins igorant . and alterailve, while
they are all sin pernicious that It Is astonishing any phy •
sician shou'd take the rot pousibilby or peer cribing them.
Let loam lids,' for their OM, sakes, try the Bitters before
they resort to the poisons. The relief they will ex perience
from IL course of the itsriniess aprelilc, tt 11l render a n.•
course to the unsafe piepsrathins referred to, eintln anon
cessary.
