Mifflin County Losses
By the decision of joint commission
representing the counties of Hunting-
don and Mifflin, Huntingdon
ty has awarded
erable slice of its neighboring
territory and its most valued portion.
A controversy extending over
years, over the dividing line of
two counties is now about to be
tled, and the decision of the joint com-
mission just rendered makes Hunting-
don county vastly the richer. The
awarded territory embraces
thousands of acres of the hest agri-
cultural land in Pennsylvania, includ-
ing the celebrated Nittany valley, and
the town of Allensvillee. Mifflin coun-
ty's attorneys have filed exceptions to
the award, and Judge Bailey will
make a final decision on April 5.

Relieved by an Operation.

of Lemont, who occupies his father's
farm pear that place, found it necessa-
ry to go to Philadelphia, some two
weeks ago, for appendicitis treatment.
An operation was performed in his

An Important Decision.
Postmaster General Gray has decid-

COAL SURE ENOUGH,
Found in Nippenose—Hope for Centre Co,
Belng un Fleld yet,
The reported find of coal in Nippen-
ose Valley has been confirmed, and the
test by burning has proven satisfacto-
ry. The coal is not of the anthracite
variety but is a good quality of bitum-
inous, similar to the Woodland. The
vein has been opened and found to be
about 3} feet thick, and will be worked
at once to supply the local market,
The coal is near the summit of the
mountain,
When burnt in stoves the coal pro-
duces great heat. Squire McKague is
the owner of the land on which the
coal is found, says the Cl. Republican.
To the Reporter this should look
hopeful for coal in Nittany, Brush and
Penns vallies, being so close to Nippe-
nose, Geologists who gave it as their
opinion there was no coal between
Snowshoe and Shamokin may have
been mistaken,
