Ex tensive and tavorable coal leases have been made as far eastward as Brady’s Bend. It has long been known that veins of coal of great thickness underlie the section of country tbroogh which this road proposes to pass. We are credibly informed that the vein of coal in the region of the head waters of Bolliver creek Bdually reaches the remarkable thickness of twenty-one feet, and that it is of the finest qnality. Iron ore, limestone, Ac , also abound in this region, and indeed all along the line of the projected road. New York capitalists, who are ever on the alert to discover and take advantage of any enterprise which bids fair to yield a large profit, are invest ing heavily in these coal lands. They are fully aware of their immense Value, and know frill well that erelong there will be easy and oheap outlets by which the coal and other mineral deposits of the region referred to, may reach the market. Pennsylvanians should look to their inter eßts in this matter. And it might be well for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to cast about, and ascertain whether it canuot extend some of its lines in that direction. Should it, by the want of proper fortnight and energy, lose tho carrying trade ot the vast deposits ol 01L, coal, iron Ac., in M ercer, Butler and Armstrong counties, it would be an incalculable loss I The Late Col. Creighton. —At the I faneral of the late Col. Creighton, at I Clevelaud, Rev. Clooka closed his address I with ihe following fervent appeal in be I half of those whose hearts have been clo I ven by the battle axe of war: l T new ask I you to join with me in one fervent prayer to the God of the agod, the fatherless, and the widow, oor fathers’ God, and the God of battles, that he will by ais Almighty arm sustain, and h? hid abundant grace comfort the mothers, and bereaved widows, and atHmted friends of our brave soldiers, and their departed sons, bus bands and brothers; that He will tbas j sustain and comfort all whose hearts have beeD cloven by the battle axe of war. that H« will abundantly shield, help, blesa. and comfort our brave soldiers upon the field, in the hospitals, ai.d prisoners in the hands of our enemies, and that he will speedily bestow upon our imperilled coun try the inestimable blessings of an honor able, r.gbteous, and lasting peace/' The Kattigan Care —The invest-igA tion in this c.ise was resumed at ten o’- clock, at Alderman Donplsou’n office to day. Some tec witnesses were examined, but their testimony threw no new light on the affair. The case having now been onder investigation almost a month, and there being no prospect of obtaining any further testimony in the matter, it was resolved to I ring the matter to a close, and thejury after having carefully revmwrd the evideuce, found a verdict that rieceas ed came to his death from ir-jaries inflicted on him on the night of the 14th of Novem ber by some person or persons to thejury unknown. Thus drops the curtain over this mysterious case, and probably the causes which 1-d to the death of Mr. Rat tigan will never be revealed. Land Warrants —The following from Thompson’s Bank Note Reporter, will be of interest, to purchasers'and holder* of laDd warrant?: “At the last session of Congress land warrants were granted to the States for the support of agricultural colleges. These warrants (all in 160 acre scrip.) have been issued to tbe loyal States in proportion to representation in Con gress, this State getting 990,000 acres, Vermont 160.000 acres, Ac. Some of these waoif nts will be on tbe market this winter. These warrants have this peculi arity—no more than one million of acres can be eulered in any one State. For prompt entry they are as good as aDy olher warrants, but to lay them aside for use a year or two hence would be risky.’’ Congressional Correspondence. —As Congress is now in session, it will bo well to remind the public of an important change in the franking privliegft, Hereto fore, as it will he remembered} all letters to and from members of Congress, pas sed through the mails free bf po-rnge Now, however, it must b<- borh«- in mind that only the letters from a of Congress can pass tree of posiage. AH correspondence with an M. C. must be paid, as-are ail the letters to a private in dividuals. Flaxseed Hybup.— I The Bural Ameri can says this excellent remedy for a cough is made thus : Boil one ounce of flaxseed in a quart of water for half an hour, strain and add to.ihe liquid the juice of twolem mons and half a pound of rock candy. If the cough is accompanied by weakcess, and a loss of appetite, add halt an ounce of powered gum arabic. Set this to sim mer for half an hour, stirring it occasion ally. Take a wine glassful when the cough is troublesome. Munificent Subscriptions, —At the late banquet giveu by the Hebrew Ladies’ Aid Society of this c ity, a collection was taken up, daring the evening, in aid of the Sanitary Commission, and the hand some sum of $7OO was realized. The fol lowing are the names of the lady mana gers : President, Mrs, Wffl. Frank; I reasnrer, Mrs. Regina Bierman j Trua tees, Mrs. Abram Frownfield, Mrs. Asher Frownfield, Mrs, Rosenbach, Mrs Wm Amhold, and Mrs. Bareman. Not D&ownkd. —We published a few doys ago a rumor to the effect that Coll Witberow, mate of the Lady Pike, had fallen overboard and was drowned. Such, however, is not the fact. He fell over board at Medoc Bar, and after swiming ashore, footed it down to Lawrencebtxrg, where he took the railroad, overtaking the Pikeht BvaMVißp. This will be cheering news fOT J&>pftilyr in Roches ter, whb had good reason to fear that-he was drowned, Facts for the People. Embroidering machines are not the thing for family sew* ing. Bead the following: One “prominent defect of the double thread loop stitch is the waste of thread in forming it. Each yard of seam requires on an average 7J yard* of thread, or twice and one half the amount required by the “lock stitch.” An estimate may be easily mad 1 of the comparative expense of using the two. In the skirt manufac tory of Messrs. Douglass & Sherwood, a day’s work of ten hours for one perbon is estimated at 1,000 yards of straight seam, ten stitches to the inch, with the lock stitch machines, which they üße; this length of seam requires three thuoaand yards of cotton thread, and with the dou ble thread chain orkniiting stitch machine, 7,500 yards would be required. The cost of 8,000 yards of cotton thread wonld be $1,35 at wholesale, and the coßt of 7,506 yards would be $3,10, making a differqpce of $1,85 a Jay in this item alone, or more than $5,000 a year ; with costlier thread or silk (at present prices at $ll per pound,) the difference would be much greater. In shirt and collar manufacture, where the stitch is finer, and less length of seam is sewed, the difference per day is only about '5. cents in favor of the lock stitch ma chine. In a manufactory like that of Winchester & Davies, where one hundred ttfid sixty of these machines are used, the saving is $1,20 per day. The result is that the chaiu or knittiug-atitch is not used on this work. In quilting, where silk is used, the difference each day wonld amonnt to moie than two dollars and twenty five cents o each machine. — 6ci entijic American. lhe Wheeler & Wilson is the best ma chine for family use.
