A train- ing school, where she may thoroughly learn type setting, was opened in New York a few days since by a gentleman of ample capital and large experience in the business, and it bas already a satisfactory aitendance, both in re- spect of numbers and intelligence, while many of the book and job offices have commenced, on individual account, the employment of femal compositors and apprentices. A school of telegraphy, to be conducted under the auspices of the Western Union Telegrapa Company, has also been established by the trustees of the Cooper Union, and will be opened on the 15th of the present month in the Cooper Institute The Council and House of Representatives of Montana, a; might be supposed of #0 young 8 Territory, are made up entirely of «carpet. Degerrs.” Of the thirteen Oounctiors, ,thre= * of Kentucky two of Virginia, two And one each of Unio, T-anesse, Pennsylvaria. Delaware, New York and Mas- sachusetis. Four members of the House are Penn+ylvanians, taree are from Ohio, one from Indians, three trom Maine, two from Missouri, two from New York, two trom Maryland, and Canada, Scotland and Russian Poland are rep- resented by one delegate each. The ice crop in Pennsylvania for the present season will be considerably below that of inst Winter, unless tbere shall yet be some preity cold weather,—which is not impossible,—bat that of New York and New Engiand is repre- rented to be quite up to the average (ur readers who anticipated a scarcity next sum- Mer. on account of the fact that no ice has been secured from the Potomac, may therefore banish their fears.

The plasterers earn six dollars a day— eight home? Inbor. They fancy the statement would be better if it were eight dollars for eight | bours. building, where all women who wish to do so i may Scquire proficiency in that occupation free of any cost for instruction or use of iastru- ments. These are significant and important steps, and whether they lead to the full measure of success anticipated by their projectors or not. | ow. ‘oueens they can hardly tail to give woman a broader | foothold than she has yet obtained in either pursuit, and to better qualify her for holding it against all comers. As to the result of the | printing experiment there may be some doubt. So far the testimony as to the effici male compositors, where they bay. Ployed, is contradictory; and there are ob- viously many branches of the business in which they cannot be employed. Besides, the Movement im that direction seems to have grown in some measure out of the recent prin- ter’s strike, and the employment of women may possibly cease when the difficulties tha; made it necessary have been settled. But in regard to her adaptability for the tel- egraph business there is no longer any doubt. That problem has been solved to the entire sat- sSfaction of its managers by the experience of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Its local or city business in New York is now done entirely by female operators, some fifteen or twenty of whom are employed on it, all occu- Pying one room in the main office at 145 Broad- way, and under a superintendent of their own sex. In ali the qualities that constitute eifi- een seeretary | g the Barkveys Law 5 rorldes het a ail finge commenced after the fret day of January, | tain conditi cient spd desirable employes they are consul- | ered, we are assured, equal to It not above the Average of the same number of the sterner sex, while the lady in charge of the room is confes. sedly better adapted for ner place than a ma- ority of gentlemen filling itke positions in the | service of the Company. Tbe experiment has also been successfully tried im the ortices of many of the villages and smaller cities of New Engtand.—that of so large a place, for instance, as Portsmouth, N. Hi., being exclusively in the hands of ladies. We regret to bave to adi that so far the Tele- graph Company bas not doue full justice to the sex. nor yet to the general cause of humanity And progress. by paying to women the same wages that are paid to men for the same work but this will come in zood tims. 20 doubt ‘That so much progress has been made as is herein indicated is gratifyimg and indicative of betier thigs in the future. ‘The New Yorkers have a new terror—the Air Guz. Homan hfe bas been insecare enough there under the sway of the slung-shot, the revolver, and the bowie: but a number of mys- tertous shooting cases y show that the | sutject ke | ster murderers of that city have discarded these | clumsy tell-tale implementa, and have brought into use @ weapon of death silent, secret, and | effectual. The alarm was first given by ac im Brooklyn. About one o'clock im the morp- ing, % police officer walking bis beat observed & man skulking bebind a tree-box ou the oppo- site side of the street. Watching his move. ments, the policeman saw a man coming up ihe sidewalk opposite. The man behind th+ tree sl)pped from bis place of concealment and walked down the street to meet the stranger, the pohceman still closely watching him. When the suspicious person was withia twenty feet of the stranger, and near a gas-light burn- ing brightly beneath the trees, the stranger sud- denly slapped his forehead wit! his right hand and fell to tbe pavement—a dead man. The mar- derer began toriile his pockets, but om seeing the | approaching policeman, he tled precipitately, dropping an air-gun of peculiar comstruction, | but of coarse workmanship and simple me- ebanism. The murderer was closely pursued, and captured after a hot chase, when he proved to be adischarged policeman by the name of Saidmere. The proof against him was posi- fave, but be cheated the gallows by commitung suicide in prison. The arfair created great con sternation in Brookiyn, and for weeks after. ward the citizens of Brooklyn did not dare to from their homes at wight for fear of a silent bal. let. Now the sur-gun appears in New York. A week of two age a yo cay at the corner of Broad way and Canal street was seriously injured by & noiseless bullet. (on Tuesday atternoon two instances are men- toned m the New York papers where shots were fired, quite as mysterious im their nature, pointing with equal certainty to that diabolical Agent, the air-gun. About the same time two MM quiet succession, crashed through udows of a grocery at the corner of Broadway and Boud street. With as little warning, & pistol bali entered through the piate-gias® door-way of 310 Broadway. ‘The New York Sun says that a young man employed im Chittenden’s dry goods store was walking down Broadway Wednesday after- noon, and felt something hit hisarm. (a ar- Trving at the store he ascertained tha’ he had been shot through the arm by a bullet, which bad lodged and remained in his side. Where the bullet came trom. who fired it, or for Wwhat—all these points remain a secret. On Monday an air-gun bullet was fired through a pawsbroker's window in Centre street. Ua the same evening one of these silent messengers ofdeath came through a window in the Sun's editorial rooms and one evening Inst week two bullet holes were found in the panesim Mr ‘Thomas Hitchcock's residence, at 5 East 29th street. As in the case of the Rogers murder, the po- lice of New York seem perfectly jacapable of gaiming any clue to the perpetrators of these deeds. it is little wonder that the N, Yori evs are calling out for a vigilance committee. ‘The Alaska purchase fraud seems to have dwindled down to asquabbie between Mr. F P.
