WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 31, 1870.
Till: I,ANT DAT.
The Inst duy of the Old Year ; and
there i« much that in comforting, and
much that is painful, to look back to.
We nro none of us as well off n« wo
hoped to bo when the last New Year
dawned. We exported all our subHcribers
would kavo paid up before this time ; but
want—or worse, neglect—ban prevented
them from responding. This wo regret,
for wo certainly have triod to d<> our duty.
Wo offorod, as an inducement for old sub
scribers to pay up and now anbacribors to
come in, a list of premiums, in wbich wo
proposed to give away a large part of the
money collected, in order to reduce our
business to a cash system, and extend it.
We were disappointed ; but few paid
their back duos, and our new
subscribers were not numerous enough
to warrant us in having a drawing
that would not ho a beggarly farce.
To those subscribers, therefore, who
may fool diaappoiuted at onr inability
to give premiums, as wo hoped, wo say
in justice to thorn and ourselves, we are
ready to rofund tho money on application.
We do not mean by this that we havo
given up tho promiuin system. On the
contrary, we Will push it next year, and
givo all those who have paid for a part of
tho coming year a chanco. Wo kuow that
our paper is alone more than worth the
prico of subscription, and the premium
list is simply a substitute for tho clubbing
system and another inducement for new
subscribers and cosh in advance, which
honeeforlh will bo onr business motto.
THE VIIMJIMIM-
Tho Virginius has had a strange record,
and Rooms to havo boon followed by a
strange fatality. Her wild expeditions
and many arrests, her last pursuit, and
capture, tho tragic fate of her Captain
and crow, her surrender, and now, tho
last act, her destruction, nro startling epi
sodes in tho career of a ship formerly no-
tod as a blockado ruunor. Thoro is a
mystery about her sinking which tin* poo-
plo dosiro to hoo cleared up; indeed tlirro
is a mystery about our relations with Cu
ba ami Spain, and this lust act may not
make matters clearer.
TUF. HTltlliF.N.
The newspupors of the country aro dis
cussing tho present Jongineers’ strike.
Tho following from tho Philadelphia Hal-
Id in corroborates our remarks of yester
day, and gives briefly the cause of tho
presold trouble:
“lu Pittsburg, rocently, souio members
of tho Into Printers’ Union, who were
active in organizing n strike for tho an
noyance of tho new.spnpor publishers,
wero pronouuced by the Court liable to
indictment for conspiracy. Tho princi
ple is a good one, and it. may servo us a
foundation for proceedings against, the
iuon who lmvo brought about a more for
midable strike among the railroad otiyi-
noorx, firemen and othors on the Pan
Handle and othor railroads running west
of Pittsburg. This striko affects not
only tlin railroad companies, but tho
whole business community, East and
West, North and South. It cithor stops
entirely, or seriously impedes all traffic
and travel on the principal railroads iu
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The whole
postal buuiiiosH iu that region will also ho
interrupted, ami, of oouruo, this will
cause very grout iuconvotiionco to busi
ness men, newspaper publishers, and peo
ple of ovory class aud occupation in ©very
part of tho country,
“Tho managers of tho Western rail
roads, iu pursuance of a policy of re
trenchment and economy made necessary
by the late liuaucul panic aud tho de
pression of businous, n solved on a 1 educ
tion of the pay of engineers and other em
ployees, which took eff ect on tho first of
Poomubor. The reduction was uot an un
reasonable ouo, in view of tho state of
business ; for it is doclnrcd that engineers
of passenger trains still can earn on an
avorago a day, while freight engin
eers can earn an average of $4.AO a day.
This appears to be good pay for any time;
but for hard times it ought to satisfy any
roasouable uieu. Hut thoro is no reason
ing with men who bind tliemselvoH in n
“Brotherhood," which is only a euphoni
um for a Trades' Union. They nro sim
ply rebelling against their employers, to
whom they have been long indebted for
tho means of subsistence, and striving to
coerco them into terms with which they
cauuot comply. U is u repetition, ou u
grand scale, of tho organized rebellion of
the Pittsburg printers. In this last named
case tho rebels were ho quickly and de
cidedly “floored” that they were soon on
their knees, taking for work ou any terms.
The same result, we hope, will be arrived
at in this striko of the railroad men. There
are thousands of competent wen out of
work, who will be glad to take the places
of tho Rtrikors on the terms of the com
panies. When tho difficulty is over, wo
trust that tho conspirators who havo
brought about the strike will be brought
to the bar of justice and punished accor
ding to the plain principle prououticed bv
the Allegheny court iu the ease of the
striking printers.”

KI’IKITl AM-SM.
This subject is ever interesting, evon if
we look upon it os a humbug, and most
sensible people do. The following from
the 'limes will havo interest to those in
terested in tlio subject at this time:
“After u lapno of twenty-four years,
Rochester promises to becomo once more
a centre of attraction to investigators of
spiritual phenomena. In 1849, what is
known as modern spiritualism may bo
said to have had its chief start in that his
toric city. Tho Fox sisters, after having
raised' the spirit of a murdered peddler
from tho malarious atmosphere of a cel
lar at ilydesvillo, Arcadia Township,
Way no county, N. Y., proceeded to
Rochester, as they asserted, by spiritual
advice, and opened public seances at
Corinthian Hall. A committee of respect
able citizens was appointed to inqtriro os
to tho nature of certain noises which wero
heard by tho audience, and a report was
rendered to tho effect that, although a
thorough inquiry had been instituted, it
had been found impossible to discover
tho source of the noises. This was ac
cepted by thousands of persons at the
timo as proof positive, thut the spirits of
tho departed might,under favorable condi
tions, return to earth and do unlimited
table-turning ‘stamping,’ and bell-ring-
ii»g.
“The Foxes, Laving thus cunningly
ucqnired a reputation for wonderful
'mudiumship,' wero onubled to visit the
principal cities in tho country, and to
draw a considerable amount of gold into
their purses. A few yoars subsequently,
mysterious noises were heard at a house
in tho vicinity of Rochester, hut they
wero soon forgotten, tho curiosity and as
tonishment produced by the Foxes elso-
whoro having proved the greater attrac
tion. But now that tho fame of theae
‘girls’ has been so thoroughly eclipsed by
other ‘mediums,’ tho Amorican Spiritual
ists may tind it profitable to make use of
Homo ‘manifestations’ which aro said to
bo at proseut iu full operation at the
idenco of Mrs. Gascoigne, in tho lowns-
luml of Chili, within u short distance of
Corinthian Hall. Wo havo it on the
authority of tho Rochester Union, that
Mrs. Gascoigne, ‘with ltor family, con
sisting of herself, her son, twolvo years
of ago, and several smaller children, have
boon driven to the very brink of despair
by tho nightly occurrence of tho most
torriblo noises during many mouths.’
“Homo yoars ago, it appears that the
mysterious mansion at Chili becamo the
property of a person, tho initial of whoso
nnmo has been published by the Union
He made it his rcsidenco, and, for a rea
son which hns not been explained, took
Mrs. Gascoigne into his sorvico oh house
keeper. In this capacity she continued
down to nbout live or Hix mouths ago,
when Mr. A. died, leaving her in posses
sion of his oil’octs. For a fow nights af
ter his demise ‘the stillness of doath
reigned.’ Scarcely an eutire weok had
passed, however, when Mrs. Gascoigno’s
reposo was disturbed by ‘tho familiar
footsteps’ of the deceased. At llrst she,
of course, thought it was f/incy, and tried
to composo herself to sleep, but it was no
use. ftho distinctly hoard tho croaking of
tho door of tho room which had formerly
boon occupied by A., aud presently she
was still further uiarinod by the bed-nlata,
wbich Roerned to yield to the pressure of
a human body. Thon sho hoard what
soemod to her like sounds that would bo
produced by a person ougugod in tho act
of putting on tight boota. As soon ns the
last stamp was given to tho lloor a noise
was made ns if somebody was asoonding
tho stairs.
“On tho following night tho manifesta
tions wero more varied. Tho chairs aud
tables in the parlor wore tossed about
rather freely, and at cortaiu intervals ‘a
siuglo whistle, of an apparently human
voice, shrill aud distinct,' was heard by
every person in tho houso. Mrs. Gaa-
ooigno adits, that night aftor night a little
dog which hud belonged to tho deceased
responds to tho whistle in the most eagor
manner, but never gives ovidetico of see
ing anything. To tlieso singular pranks,
doubtless lost they should become monot
onous, tho ‘ghost’ very often ndds the
moro oxoitiug ono of snatching tho bed-
covering, with lightning quickness, from
tho almost paralyzed body of the twelve-
year old Gascoigne. Four moil, neigh
bors of tho Gascoignes, it seems, have re
peatedly undertaken to solve tho myste
ry. Gno of the number states positively
that a form, which in ovory respect ro-
sembled Mr. A. in tho flesh, on one oc
casion passed before him ns ho lay
upon a lounge. Ho immediately
jumped up, and had just begun to pro
pound a number of questions, when ‘tho
spectre, if such it wore, soon disappear
ed.’ Mrs. Gascoigne remains in tho house
by tho advice of counsel for the purpose
of making good her claim to it in law.
Otherwise, sho declares sho would profer
to gather her children around hor and
take shelter in a barn.
“Surely facts like those cannot bo al
lowed to go uninvostigatod. Tho ped-
dlor's depressed spirit in tho Arcadian
cellar,Jas material for an ‘excitomont,’ whs
as nothiug compared with the whistles,
clothes suatohiug, and boot pullings of
this Chili ghost. The opportunity afford-
ed for a revival at Rochester of the scenes
of 1849 is decidedly tempting, and wo
shall be very much surprised if it is not
taken advantage of. Moreover, it would
bo doing a kindly service to a much
nffHuted family to relieve it of the pres-
ouoc of one of tho most trying of uunoy-
uncos."
—The Janesville Gazette says consul
orable stir is being created in Milwaukee
over an ett'ort to close the gambling sa
loons. The officials claim that they
would hurt the.business interests of Mil
waukee if they closed them up, as country
merchants who come to buy goods want
some place in which they can “have a
little fun," and if they can’t find it there
they will go to Chicago.
Recently at Highland, Iowa, tho
family of Mr. Kimball were poisoned by
drinking tea coutaimug araeuito of cop
per. The tea was takeu from tho bottom
of the chest. Timely medical aid was all
that saved the eutire family from a sud
den death.
