THe WoRKING CLASsEs.—The eight-hour iaw in Illinois goes into effect on May ist, and the working people of Chicago have been making arrangements to have their hours of labor reduced without & corresponding reduc- tion of wages. In opposition to this it te an- nounced that the employing printersand pub- lishers of that city held a meeting on Friday No positive decision was feached. but it was understood thatthey are unanimous in their determination not to recognize the law, un- less there is a corresponding decrease in the rate of wag The Directors of the North- western Railroad. which runs from Chicago, have decided to inform the men in their em- ploy that those who choee to do so can restrict their labor to eight hours, at a proportionate reduction of wages. The efficers of the Cni- cago city railroads have decided to make the same offer to their men, and there is scarcely a doubtthat all the tering in Chicago will take the same action. If both partie~ adhere to their determination, ex- tensive strikes will probably result. In Wis- consin the eigbt-hour law recently passed is said to be inadequate to the wants of the work- ingmen. As interpreted at present, it appear< to apply only to minors and women in fac- tories, and in other cases leaves the relations of employers and employed much as they are atpresen!. in New York the journeymen bakers and the coach and car drivers are dis- cussing the policy of asking increased wages, but nothing definite has yet heen decided by either of them. Ax OLp Lavy MURpERED IN PHILADEL- ruia—In Philadeipbia yes‘erday afternoon Mrs. Magilton, aged about sixty-two years, was found murdered at her residence, in Ship- pen street, above Thirteenth.

The in- formation of the murder was first given to the husband of the deceased by Geo. Winnemore, who was taken in custody on suspicion, and committed to uwait the coroner’s investiga- ton. Winnemore is a friend ofthe tamily and bad taken tea with the old couple, who lived alone, op the previousevening. Nothing was missing from the house, and it is not known what could have prompted the murder The deceased was the mother of Colonel Magilton The razor was found in a cesspool belonging to the house. The razor has been identified as the property of Winnemore. it is supposed that the unexpected return of the husband prevented Winpemore from Plundering the bouse.

The proposition of sett ng apart a day tor thankegiving, to be observed by the members of the order, was discussed at the last session of the Grand Lodge of the United States, in Baltimere, in September last, and the following resolution, offered by Represen- tative Barry, was adopted: Whereas the R. W.G. Correeponding and Recording Secretary in his report, properly and appropriately recommends “that a posi- tive recognition on our part of the unerring band of God in having graciously rescued the genious of Odd Fellowship fri the ruin which hasrioted asthe inseparable effect of war, and tor the unmistakable prosperity which bas crowned its labors during the year just closed, eminently becomes us;” therefore, Resolved, That the R. W. Grand Sire be, and be is herepy, directed to issue his proclama- on Appointing 4 day of thanksgiving, to be observed throughout the jurisdiction of this grand lodge by the members and friends of the order in such appropriate and becoming forms and ceremonies as may be consistent witb the occasion, to render thanks to the ever- living God for preserving and maintaining the unbroken unity and fraternal relations of our erder from the sa and devastating effects of civil war. In compliance with this resolution the M. W. Grand Sire. James P. Sanders, issued his proclamation on the ist of November last, recommending to-day the anniversary of the founding of the order as the day of thanks. ivin, i The subject was brought before the Grand Loage of the District ai the January commu- nication, and a committee of thirteen, one from each, was appointed to make the ar- rangements. This committee at once set to work, and the arrangements for the celebra- en to-day were the result of their labors For several weeks past the Lodges and En- campments have been actively engaged in ma- king arrangements for the event, fixing up their banmers, regalia, &c.
