We feel confident that ‘‘Tivoli’
didn’t know the name of one of the
young men in the audience who mis
behaved or the editor of the Vatin/
Times would have withheld that part
from publication.
In fact, the critic cannot critize and
this is generally the case with a man
who sets himself up ss a good judge
of "bad ventriloquism," “old songs,"
and hieknowledgeofgrammatioal con

tremendous poverty of appreciation
except as to the cut of bis hair, the
fit of a coat, or the price of a ten-cent
cigar. Tho public are waiting for his

Meyersdale, Pa,, Feb. Ist, 1881.
Mr. Editor: —There has been trou
ble with the Baltimore and Cumber
land coal company's men at this
placo. The mining boss called a
meeting with some of tbo miners last
Wednesday and stated to them tha*
the company was going to drop the
miners ten cents per ton, to take
place the first of this month. A
committee was appointed to visit the
Superintendent, Mr. James J. Hob
litzell, to know the truth. When
their case was laid before him he
stated ho knew nothing about it.
The men started this morning and
everything is all right.
There are no signs of the Shaw
mines starting as yet.
Hooking’s mines shut down to day.
