Letters were received from Messrs. James D. Keld, Chairman of the Inau gural ceremonies, and Tillotson, of the excursion, containing tickets for a delegation of twenty-two. As Philadelphia, in common with every other city in the United Slates and Canadas, has been served with Invitations, it is supposed that only a delega tion from Philadelphia was expected. The commit tee, after voting that the trip sba 1 be no expense to the city, adjourned until Tuesday next to await further Information. Our city should be represented on this occasion. An Impostor. For several weeks pant a short, thick-set man, with red moustache and sandy hair, has been going the rounds of the city and making varlons attempts to defraud the people, ills method of proceeding is sometniug Hue ine following: lie calls npon parties, pretending that fine works of art have been received from Europe and await the pay ment of duties before they can be taften away. lie represents himself ai a Custom House agent, 'and volunteers his services for the purpose. We nave heard of several attempts of this kind daring the past week, In each of which be failed to extort money, but It will be well to give him this notice, so that the public may be put on their guard and the police on his track. FifHEK BAKBELIN'B URATE. At tWO 0'ClOCk t- monow, the annual decoration of the grave of Father Barbelln, late pastor of St. Joseph's Church, will take place under the direction of the Barbeitu Memorial Association.

Arriving at the grave, the participants will deposit flowers, prayers will be recited, aud hymns sung by the children. The Ninth Representative District. In making the nominations this month the leaders of the Republican party should not overlook the faot that wise and popular nominations fer members of the Legislature would greatly strengthen the whole ticket. Ia the Ninth Representative district the Re publicans have acted upon this principle la putting forward Hector T. Fenton. Esq., for the nomination on their ticket. Mr. Fenton is well knowa as a member of the bar In good standing, and a Repub lican whose capabilities for the position weuld make aim of great value in the city delegation. A New Mission House The Fifth Street M. E. Church have secured the Northern Liberty Engine house, on Front street, oeiow ureen, on waicn to conduct open mission work. To-morrow afternoon the new mission house will be formally dedicated to God's work, and addresses will be made by Revs. William L. Gray, T. B. Miller, and Drs. J. Emerson Kent and O. Osier. This Is a good selection tor church work, as this section of the city really needs evangelizing. The Petroleum Business.

The anthracite eoal regions are now all working briskly, xcept at Haxieton and Beaver Meadow, ; Where the men are silli holding oat en. the groand of seme small technicalities la the offer of the ope- ! raters, taring the men are all anxioas te resume. It Is thought likely that this region will also begin ! work before another week has passed, for every day that the men hold out the chance is lessened of good wages. The market is being supplied steadily from all the regions, and the later tbay are in coming la tne less beaefit will they have of the steady prices caused by the former scarcity. A mutual spirit of concession to a very small degTee, is all that is de sired on both sides to produce a complete resump tion. The receat Pitts ton disaster has had at least one good effect in connection with its many evils, which Is the better observance of the spirit of the venttla- 1 tlon law, before a dead letter. So general has been the neglect of its provisions that if it were generally enforced the effect on the production would be very perceptibly felt. The inspectors are, however, now bestirring themselves somewhat, fearing to bring themselves Into the same trouble as that in which the one who should have Inspected the Pittston mine has become Involved. But there are so many ways of evading the spirit of the very poor law, that it Is doubtful whether the Increased carcrulns8 will amount to much after all. The only way under the present circumstances to surely prevent a repetition ef the Pittston and Avondaie horrors is to appeal successfully to the conscience and generosity of the operators. Numerous accidents, many of them fatal, have taken place in various mines daring the week from explosions of gas allowed to accumulate during the long terra of disuse. This Is the Inevitable conse quence of all long suspensions, and the miner when he suspends work adds this to the many other evils which he brings npon himself by so delng. Now that the Reading Railroad Company has ob tained control of the Schuylkill coal lands, ttie men must sooner or later expect that the basis will be entirely ignored, and In place thereof the men, at least those working In the mines controlled by the company, will receive a fixed rate of wages, as the men working for the companies of the upper region are paid. Shonld this come to pass, the men will have to thank for it their own leaders, to whose un tiring effons the whole thing is due; and It would be a cause for thankfulness to all parties, though the miners might not be disposed to think bo The fixed rate would be liberal, and the men would be spared the trouble of the monthly fixing of the rate ef wages, with its accompanying disappointments and temptations to another strike whenever the rate happens to be a little lower than was expected. The first regular trade sale, since the suspension, of Scranton coal was held In New York on Wednes day IsbU The prices were much higher than those of the last sale just previous to the suspension, and higher than those of the sale of the same month last year, but they are not near so high as the specula tors surely expected by about an average of Jl per ton on ail sizes. This appears to promise a still lower rate for the next sale, and the effect will be to make dealers hold off In expectation ef the further decline But such a state of the market. It Is thought, will be less satisfactory than higher prices now with a gradual decline afterwards, for by keeping down the legitimate demaud of this season of the year the demand afterwards will be made greater than can De met. This will produce higher rates of toll and freight and ad vanced prices. The rate of reduction of soo.o.K) tons per week will be required during the whole season to supply the regular demand and make good what has been lost during the suspension. Any large addition to this demand will have the effect described. The amount sold was the nsual 60,009 tons, and the attendance at the Bale was very large. The bidding at first was spirited, but the later sales were mostly at the lowest quotations. The following were the prices obtained as com pared with those of the last sale and with those of the sale cf the same month last year: XnvBl. 1S71. Jfit25. 1870. 2V.. 1S78.

The following Is a summary of the trade for the past week from the Pottsvllle Miner's Journal of to day : "ine quantity sent oy ran tor tne weex is iri.usa tons, by canal 85.941 tons; for the week 148,026 tons against 27,191 tons for the corresponding week last year. This is one of the largest weekly shipments sent rrom tms region ior tne last two years, and it can be considerably Increased so soon as the cars are fathered in.as they were considerably scattered dur ug the suspension. The whole supply of anthracite ror tne week is Bsi.vin tons, and bituminous ei.ois, making for the week 893,997 tons against 325,446 tons anthracite and 46,818 tons bituminous aggregate, 871,264 tons showing an increase of 22,733 tons over the corresponding week last year. This Is the first week this year tnat tne snipments exceed those for the corresponding week last year. "In the course of a coupie of weeks the shipments of all kinds will reach a half million tons per weak when no interruption occurs. Tne whole supply or anthracite so far this year is 2,457,977 tons, against 6,514,390 for the corresponding period last year, showing the decrease so far to be 4,056,423 tons. The whole supply of all kinds so far is 8,230,889 tons agains 6,054,231 tons for the corresponding week last year, showing a loss of all kinds so far of 2,823,342 tons. At this time last year the shipments exceeded those of the former year 473,057 tons, so that In order to reach the supply cf last year, of all kinds, we must Increase the ship ments for the balance of the year 8,396,399 tons. "We nave no further information as to the status at Trevorton, or from that portion of the Lehigh region that had net gone to work, except tnat tne lenger the men are idle the more determined the operators have become not to succumb to the demands of tue W. B. A. "it la foronr readers to judge who are right or who are wrong; we gtve the facts as they exist. A good many of the operators received telegrams to stop sending coal at the close of May, with a view of adjusting prices to correspond with the auction sale at itew iork, wnicu was a snaae lower than was anticipated. Unless producers are Una coal will le forced down to the lowest point, while there is really no necessity whatever to do so. "The Shamokin Herald of Thursday says: 'About 400 cars per day are sent over the Northern Central Railroad, on wuicn tne balance ana larger part oi our sliinments at present is made.' "The mommy conierence oi miners ana operators was held at Shamokin on Monday last, but no aver age price was established, owing to soma error or informality In the statement of tne Enterprise Coal Company. The joint committee will meet again on Satnrday next. June I, for this nurpoBe. Previous to adjournlDg, a committee, consisting of A. Fulton and F. J.

THE MANDRAKE PILLS are composed entirely of roots and herbs, obtained from the great storehouse of Nature, and their salutary effects will appear as soon as the medicine is brought to the test of a fair experiment. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS do not prodaoe any nausea or sickness of the sto mach; but when given for Dyspepsia, it may be proper to use them in conneotion with SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC. By this judicious treatment, the digestive faculties are speedily restored to their fall rigor, and the worst oases of indigestion may be eured. When we reflect that the liver is the largest internal organ of the body; that to it is as signed the important daty of Altering the blood and preparing the bile; that it is sub jeot to many disorders, and that when it is diseased, or inactive, the whole body suffers sympathetically, it is nit surprising that "a medicine which can restore the healthy operations of the liver should pro duce wonderful changes ia the general health, and effect cures which may appear to be almost aairaeulous. Headache of long continuance, severe pains in the side, breast, and shoalders, aohing of the limbs, a feeling of general weakness, and weariness, and other alanaiag and distressing symptoms, indicative of imperfect or disor dered aetien of the liiver, are speedily re moved by the ase of SCHENCK'S MAN DRAKE PILLS. Costiveness, piles, bitter or sou e nicta tions, and that indescribable feeling of op pression, mental anxiety, languor, lethargy, and depression of spirits, whieh unfit a man for the management of business and the enjoyment of UIo, are relieved by the use of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE FILLS.
