Henderson Corsets! reasonable in Armstrong county has much to hope for from the construction of this railroad which will constitute a trunk line not only from the north to the south—the lakes to the gulf— but also from the populous east to the far west, through the increase in value of coal ami other mineral rights, the development of timber lands and the general improvement which follows railroad building, through a heretofore insolated region. The B. E. & P. railway company is one of the coming factors in railway development in the east. Heretofore a coal-carrying road, almost pure and simple, it now aims at connection south and west, equaled to those assured the east, through the building of the C. & M. from DuBois to Clearfield, which will make it one of the most valuable properties extant. Its line to the west will, whon completed, be shorter than the N. Y. C. and H. R. E. and at a decidedly better grade than the P. B. B.—Kittanning Times. Mr. F. C. Burn ham, right of way agent of the Jefl'orson and Allegheny and Allegheny and Western Railway Companies, has been here several days forming the acquaintance of property owners along the line of the last mentioned line, rights of way across whose premises he is now securing. This line in connection with the former, is, as is well known, destined to form the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Railway Company to the west and sonth. The survey of the former company extends from Punxsutawney to the Allegheny river and that of the latter company from the river to Butler. The first mentioned route has been practically secured. The last mentioned is now being negotiated. Resolved, That wo demand 20 cents per hour lor driving mules." •1.

No discrimination of men and no one mine shall have the power to settle, and we ask this convention to appoint a committee to settle all disputes, and that committee to be permanent. Resolved, That we domand a nniform rate ot 29 centa per month for sharpening picks at all mines. "Resolved, That all loading of coal shall be paid 28 centa per net ton for loading and 7 cento for machine mining, and 40 cents per net ton for pick mining, and that there shall be a fair distribution of cars. After considerable deliberation, the committee reported the following, which was adopted: • The miners' convention held in DuBois last Thursday was attended by forty-one delegates representing the different mines operatod by the R.&P. Coal and Iron Company. A number of the delegates favored a general request to all of the miners in the Clearfield, Betch Creek and Toby Valley dietricts to demand a uniform rate for mining. But after considerable warm discussion .they decided to confine the matter to the R. <& P. and Clearfield and Jefferson companies. The convention was presided over by James Maloy, of DuBois, and Frank H. Bauer, of Eleanora, was secretary. A committee was appointed to formulate a demand. The committee consisted of James Maloy, Rochester Mine; Victor Baker, Sandy Lick; Michael Lavelle, London Mine: Michael McTaggart, Helvetia; John Tavitch, Hleanora; John Sullivan, Adrian; Patrick McOowan, Walston; Patrick McHale and 1).

Murray, recently of Biliman, ia about completing a handaome two-story reaidence on Highland avenue, East End, which when flniahed will be one of the moat aightly and convenient in that part of the town. The bailding is located on an eminence which afforda a complete view of the entire town. The Pnnxantawney Iron Worka, Fair rounds, East End Park", the movement of traina on all of the railroads are in plain view, as well sa the landacape wen cry in every direction. Mr. A. H. Murray, of Clayville, ia the architect and John Winalow, of Punxsutawney, did the plaatering, and their work on thia building will convinoe any one that theae gentleman can produce workmanahip of the highaat poasible order in that line. A few daja of favorable weather and the edifice will have been beautified by the painters and Mr. Murray, who haa already moved into his new home, will have the interior supplied with suitable Auniture. big lot of new gloves without the Ineraaad tariff, and all the lataat styles. John KHt. —The Indiana Times, having in mind tbeir own fruitless endeavor in that direction, mincingly advises our boro countil to sprinkle Findley street with salt, before paving, so as to prevent the growth of grass, which, in that town has always, and will perhaps forevor, give them no end of trouble. The Times bewails that grass of the street variety is hard to kill, and we have no reason to doubt its authority. It has abundant evidence in front of the Times office and all along the main road of the village. That town must be pretty thoroughlysalted down by this time. Nowhere in Punxsutawney we have worn out, in about five yean a better paving than Indiana can ever expect to have. Our council, not satisfied with it, however, will adopt that which has proven durable in other large cities, for the present, bnt it is expected that before many years, brick pavement will prove inadequate, will have to give way to cobble stones or pig iron for the main thoroughfares of the city.
