The President's message and the reports of the heads of the departments were sent to Congress on Monday of last week. The message is long and yet contains little that is really of Interest. Most persons who care to read such a document, have already read it in the daily papers, we therefore make no ex tracts from it. The report of the Secre tary of the Treasury however is very interesting. By his showing, the receipts from customs have exceeded the esti mates by fifty-five millions, the internal revenue receipts by nine millions, and the total ordinary receipts by almost seventy millions. On the other hand, despite the payment of almost twenty millions for arrears of pensions, the total disbursements are only eight millions greater than were estimated. Out of this vast surplus of income over seventy-three milliolis has gone to the sinking fund, through whose operations almost as large a part of the funded debt or more than three and a half per cent of the total, has been paid off. The re ports shows the financial condition of the United States to be better than that of any of the great nations of the world. Daring Robbery. Early Weduesday evening last, while John A. Lehman, a jeweler at 109 south Thirteenth street, was alone in his store he was startled by a crash of glass, and turning found that one of his window panes had been broken. A man reached in and seized a tray of rings, with which he proceeded to walk away. Mr. Leh man jumped the counter and made a ruBh for the door, but to his surprise found it securely fastened with a rope, and by the time he succeeded in opening it the thief had escaped with his plun der, the total value of which is between $450 and $500. The fellow in his flight dropped a small mallet, which had evi dently been used to shatter the glass. Several of the rings were afterward found on the west side of Thirteenth street, near Sansom, showing that the thief took that direction. Thirteenth street in that vicinity is generally crowded about the hour the robbery was committed, but no one appears to have seen the man at work or heard the sound of the breaking glass. Philadel phia North American, Another Mine Explosion. Cardiff, December 10. A great ex plosion occurred this morning at the Penygraig new colliery, in the Ilhondda Valley, Wales. It is believed that eighty-seven persons have perished. An ex ploring party has just discovered sixteen corpses. The search is impeded by after damp and debris. The pit is about a mile from the Bcene of the great explo sion in the DInas colliery, i.i the same valley on January 13th, 3879, when about sixty persons lost their lives. - A later London dispatch says of the explosion in the colliery of Penygraig, .Wales, this morning: The shock of the explosion was felt for miles around the earth shaking as if there were an tArthquake. There are also eighteen horses in the pit, which is 450 yards in depth. Eighty-seven men re known to be dead. , A Red Hot Collar. A thrilling accident occurred at the American Iron Works, on Bouth Side, Pittsburgh, Thursday afternoon. While Robert Moore was at work at his rolls bis catcher failed to seize with bis tongs a bar of white-hot Iron which had been placed between the roils. The iron twisted Itself thrice around the roll, forming a "collar." The catcher struck the iron, when there blew off a piece in shape of a ring witli a stem twenty Inches long. Running off at right angles to the circle the band flew back and fell around Moore's head, resting on his shoulders. Quick as thought he grabbed the long stem with his tongs and the white-hot ring with his hand, and with steady nerve and gentle move ment lifted the fiery thing from his shoulders. Ills face was badly burned by the heat emitted from the iron, and the flesh of his hand was cut in to the bone. Afterward he put the ring over his head. It was but two inches larger in diameter than his head. A Disgusting Sight. Yesterday a young lady scarcely out of her teens and a young man came to this city with the intention of being married to-day. Last evening they con cluded to walk around for a while and see the sights. While doing so the gal lant wanted a drink of whiskey, and when he took it, after much persuasion, prevailed on the lady to do likewise, although she strongly objected. It is sald'that the single drink made her dead drunk, she never having taken any be fore. At any rate she was found lying down and unable to move by the police, and was hauled to the lockup in a cart, to stay there until she sobered off. Her escort was also captured and locked up. Altoonn Iribune of the 9th inst. .. - Tricky Gloves. On Friday afternoon a brakeman whose name we did not learn had a nar row escapeat the Fourth street crossing.

Another train came slowly along the next track In the opposite direction, when he put his gloved hand on it. This also stuck fast and the fel low received a severe stretching before one hand pulled loose. The gloves were torn to pieces. Alioona Tribune. Hard on the Saloon Men. MoNTFET.iEit, Vt., December 7.

C, December 8, 1880. The Winter season here was Inaugurated Monday by the convening of the last session of the 40th Congress. The season Just opened promises to be one of unusual gaiety and splendor. One reason for which is that It is tbe last of President Hayes' Administration, and another is that no great political questions are likely to arise in Congress to draw the attention of 8enators and members from social duties, as in the past two sessions. In fact, people here are autlcipattng tbe enjoyment of a WIntor in which politics will take a back seat, and Republicans and Democrats will meet In the brillant parlors of our fashiona ble quarter, and enjoy an Intercourse unre strained by the rememberanceof Congressional abuse. . The President's message was read in Con gress Monday. Without entering - into any elaborate description, the general opinion is that it's recommendation of new legislation, and changes in existing laws are all good, and If acted on can not do other than benefit the country. The growth of stalwart Republican ism in the Presidential mind crops out early In the message, In his advice to the House to seat no member who came by such seat at the expense of free suffrage, and a fair couut. I am glad the President recognizes the necessity of increasing our merchant marine service, and recommends that Congress subsidize lines of mall steamships to Bouth American ports, and tbe West Indies. He rightly says that the large Increase In our products and consequent exports, demand that immediate measures be taken to increase our Merchant Marine. He also recommends, the laying of a Cablo across the Pacific Ocean. Congress will be asked within a (ew days to Incorporate an Inter-oceanic company. This company proposes to construct a canal via the Nlcaragulan route. The act of incorporation is now ready. Tho list of Incorporators em braces many of the most wealthy aud prom inent gentlemen In the United States. The De Lessens scheme will not in the least inter fere with the American project. It is stated that all the money necessary for tbe work has been assured. In the absence of Chairman Atkins, Repre sentative Biout, of Georgia, presided at the meeting of the House Committee an appropria tions to-day. Reports were received from the snb-cominlttoea in charge of the pensions, military academy, fortifications and consular and diplomatic appropriations bills, all of which were fairly advanced. It is thought three, if not all four of these bills will be ready to be reported to the House on Thursday. Tbe sub-committee on tbe consular and diplo matic bill will hold a conference with Secretary Evarts to-day, and expect to perfect the bill in a few days. Admonished by the fact that a fire had Its own way recently, all night In one of the cloak rooms leading to the hall of the House of Representatives, a lire extinguisher, on wheels, bus been purchased for use at tbe Capitol. It Is not known whether It Is to be used to put out fires or wake np tbe watchman. Omvsj. A New Paying Occupation for Ladles and Gentlemen.
