RECENT DJiATHS. AN URGENT NECESSITY.

When the people of this country get BO much interested in a subject that representatives from nearly every State and territory in the union assemble to discuss ways and means of reform, holding a national convention, it shows conclusively the earnest desire that something be done and is, moreover, a hopeful indication that something will be done. Last week the National League for Good Roads met at Washington and 25 States were represented. The discussions, by men thoroughly versed on the subject, are described as having been deeply interesting. The league itself can do little except to point out the wants of the country and to suggest methods of meeting them. lu this work it deserves all encouragement.

The road question is fast becoming one of the great issues. Certainly no subject concerns the welfare of a greater number of people. It is before the Pennsylvania Legislature again, in bDls of various form, but whether useful legislation will result is as yet uncertain. There is certainly urgent necessity for a good road law in every State and for its strict enforcement. The community that is shut off from the vrorld time heavy rains set in is in a bad way, and there are vast numbers of euch places, even in rich agricultural districts, all over this great land.

TEACH TO The conditions of life today are very different from what they were 50 years ago. At tbar time comparatively few bovs and girls grew up not accustomed to some form- of manual labor.

THK proposed new geological survey for Indiana county is something that tne people of this section deserve and should have.

It is no more than our just due. "UXCLE" JOHX CESSXA. proposes that Pennsylvania have biennial elections. That would suit the people, though there might be difficulty in getting the politicians to agree. It is entirely unnecessary to go to the polls every year to elect State officers.

William and James Elkin; Mrs. Alex McConnell, Robert. David and Francis Elkin. of Saiicksburg: William Eikin, Rural Village, and John, of Porter, to mourn her loss. She was a consistent member of the Episcopal chur'-h.

Her pastor, Rev. S. Dimmick, says of her: As a mother left with tea children she was kind and affectionate, always found in the discharge of the responsible duties resting upon her in raising her family in the fear of the Lord. As a neighbor she was always ready to reach out a helping hand to the sick and afflicted like her Matter, who was constantly engaged in doing good. Those that knew her best loved her most.

Her constant aim was to exemplify to all those she came in contact that Christian character whicn distinguished her as a meek and lowly follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. About five vears ago the writer visited her when she was afflicted with the first stroke of paralysis which deprived her of speech for three days. She was restored to her normal health. March 1S92, she received a second stroke which deprived her of both speech and sight for some time. January 16 she received the third attack.

She lingered until the nexi day, when her spirit took its flight to that rest which re- maineth for the people of God. The children have lost a fond and an affectionate mother, the community a good neighbor and the church a consistent member. Her reir "ns were interred in the Episso- pal cry on Tuesday.

Tbe term "pajinc ore" to ai rememberstbat millions hare been out of the mines in the "Bockies," from ore of 12 ounces to the torn and upwards. Pajingore" here, means ore that will pay the expenses of its own getting oat, all low grade ore and barren rock that ftp thrown away in the dumps, or stored awajr in abandoned workings, and then its own shipment on mute back some 300 miles across the Cordilleras to the Pacific Coatt, to be sold there to some ore buyer, and then shipped around Cape Horn to Europe tor reduction. I have a scale of prices of those ore buyers that would show that they calculate on at least 50 per cent profit on their purchases. Consequently, the poor miner finds that only ore of 90 ounces to the ton and upwards will pay for such an extraordinary combination of expenses, so that he is obliged to throw away ail of lower grade; and eventual! to abandon the mine at a depth of about 150 feet. As to accumulating sufficient capital wherewith to tunnel on the horizontal, and strike the vein at lower depth, and take out the ore in an economical way, he would thiuk it equally possible to undertake to tunnel to China at his own expense.

The miners hanging around these old workings are about as miserable a lot of human beings as I hare met, short of the Cbaco Indian of the dense forests on the banks of the Bermejo river. They cannot well be otherwise, with the miseVable returns for their slavish labor, and the extortionate prices charged them for the small supplies indispensable to life. Bat miserable and degraded as they are, none better appreciate just and considerate treatment and honest dealing, nor have I met any creatures more grateful in action, to those whose promises to them they find to be reliable. Some maliciously disposed member of our party must have circulated the information that I am a doctor, for this morning I found a distressed looking woman waiting outside the door to see if I could not give her something to cure her baby, which she said was sick and very feverish. In my various wanderings I have found it convenient to carry with me some simple remedies, which have generally been more useful to others than myself.

If closely questioned as to my knowledge of medicine, I fear it would about amount to that of the old cross-roads quack, who, when called on for professional services, tied a string around the waist of the patient, and if the ailment were above the string prescribed an emetic with the Latin name of if below the string, a cathartic was prescribed with the equally regular Latinv?) name of hirumpopatorem. I ventured on prescribing a quarter of a seidlitz powder, as not being a dangerous experiment, in "cooling the fevered brow" of a future member of the "aristocracy" of labor. If it kills, I had better leave camp, but if the babies live through my treatment it would indicate that thev have remarkably good constitutions. I have put in a week of active work in measuring up ore dumps and the mines in all that I could find any means of getting into or out of. The old notched poles for ladders have rotted avray in many of them, stopping my explorations in them.

It was often with a sense of relief that I found myself out in the open air some ventures: for, in those old and abondoned workings, there were tons of loose material ready apparently to come down on one's the slightest disturbance. Fortunately there were no earthquakes playing pranks at the time, although as a curious phenomenon. I hare been told by miners here, that even notable earthquakes that have done great damage on the surface of the ground, are felt only slightly, if at all. in mines: and the lower the depth of workings, the less the effects are felt. I have selected a few tons of ore from the dumps, which I have had packed in bags to be carried on mules to the railroad, to be shipped to Xew York for treatment.

From my measurements and calculations of these dumps, I estimate that there is ore enoush in them, of 20 ounces and upwards to the ton, to keep us at xvorfc for three or Sve years at least. The assays I have had made of the ore selected, show it to be over 40 ounces to the ton. As my personal examination of these mines e-onfirmed those I previously had made by two engineers, whom I considered thoroushlr competent and trustworthy, I feel'much gratified at the result. I have been following the matter up at a cost of over two years of my time, and the expenditure of loose casrTwhich that implies; with the confidence that patience, perseverance and close attention to the ratttt-r in band will bring the cor- reward. ea hageiy.
