Parties interested in the success of the
movement to establish a poor house in the
lower end of this county, should now begin
to lake a little more interest, in tho matter;
tho day of election is rapidly approaching,
and should tho project fall through, on ac
count of the lukewdrmness of its friends, wo
have reason to know,' from our short experi
ence on tho Poor Board of this borough (Lc
highton), that tho people, nnd cscc:ally the
hoavy tax-payers, will have cause, to regret
their apathy in tho matter. Tho principal
reasons of tho parties who oppose the mens:
ure, is not because they do not beliovo Hint
we need nnd should have such nn institution
iii the lower cud) but because their own or
friend's projierfy, in which they probably
were interested; wns not chosen for tho lo
caticli. Such opiosition to tho measure is
siriiply ridiculous, childish, indeed. Why
tho temtiorary nrrangement made for keep
ing the poor all in one house in this borough,
has saved to our tax-payers not lets than
$1000 1 Yet iu this case we had no employ
ment foi our poor. Mahoning's ins of some
C0O will full short of meeting the demands
made upon tho Overseers for relief, i'nrry
ville is almost exhausted iu her effort to
supply tho means for keeping the vast num
ber of persons who havo and are applying
for help; while tho cost of manlainiiig tho
poor of Lower Towamensing, so far, cost up
wards of $2000 tho present (official) year.
Iu fact; the cost of keeping the poor in ten
townships nnd boroughs, out of which it is
proposed to form the f'cw district, will not
cost more than SS000, and for this sum tho
Commissioners affirm they ran clear ono
hundred acres' of tho selected tract; erect the
necessary buildings, pay for llio land, Ac
The gentlemen comprising the commission,'
are men of integrity (everyone), generally
largi holders of property, and of course
heavy tax payers, and consequently havo an
interest In using economy in tho mnttcr
it Is not likely that such men would prorced
deliberately to increase tho already onerous
burden of their taxation. No, economy and
retrenchment is thejr motto, and wo urge
our jieoplc to a fair and unbiassed view of
this matter, and the erection of a pwr house
in this end of tho county is a settled matter.

East Mauch Chunk, hud indeed all tho
Chunks, is the scene of considerable excite
ment nnd gossij), and likely to conlinuo so
for some time tocomc. Thocatisoof nil this
gossip is termed ono of sujicrnnturnl jmwer,
the truth of which, your corrcsjior.'dent will
leave to your readers, as they pcruso the
following facts. Tho jilace whence all this
excitement cmenates, is tho jiarsonnge of
Rev. Father Heinaii, of the German Catho
lic denomination, at East Mauch Chunk. It
became current in the carlyjiart of the week
that at the jarsonago lay n young woman
who had not eaten anything for nino weeks,
except a little milk, water nnd ajijiles; that
sho is nfllicted with hemorrhage or bleeding
of the lungs; thnt .'hesc hemorrhages havo
occuired ns often ns four times in ono day
for the last nino wneks; that on Monday
morning at 0 o'clock she became speechless,
mid hns continued so ever since; that al
though speechless, sho hears and is perfectly
conscious of nil that is going on ; that this
(Satuiday) moiuing at 8:30, sho will die,
and at 11:30 a.m. the priest, Fathar Heinaii,
through eujiernntural inllueuces or jwwer
will bring her to 1 1 Jo ngain, and that the
public ure invited to witness the transition
ns above-mentioned. Thcso facts hav
ing become known to tho comniimily, na
turally excited every ojie's curiosity "to sec
tho sick woman, and it wits soon ascertained
that every one, of whatever creed or lenonil
nation, was cordially invited to conio nnd
tee lor him or herself. Ever since Tuesday
small knots of jieojile) from two to Six, could
li? seen wending their to ltev. lleiiini's,and
the talk became so general, thal j'our
eonesjiondent could no longer resist, but go
and seo too. Iu company.with several other
gentlemen, we visited tlic jilnce on Wednes
day forenoon. On entering the houso we
jiassed a largo number of jiersbns, mostly
ladies, aiid) oil enquiring whether wo were
Jicrimtted to enter the sick-room, wo were
asked to jileaeo walk uji stairs, which wo all
did., The door being ojieijed, we entered a
room about 10 x 20 feet, which was quite
dark) ami in which we found quite a num
ber ol',ieisons. At this moment ono ot'.tho
Sisters of Charity, iu waiting on the pitlent,
raised one of the window-blinds sullicieiltto
admit liglitcuough to recognize one uuotlier.
Of course, jur attention was drawn to tjio
sick-bed, and there we saw n woman, about
33 years old, lying iu a half-reclining jio-ii-tion,
a white cap ou her head, a crucilit
about her neck, her hands crossed, her eyes
closed, her face wearing tho expression of a
long confinement nnd tho color of a dead
jwrson. Her breathing seemed natural und
ut regular intervals. During our stay sho
raised her left hand to her left side twice.
Ho hands nnd lace ore, not emaciated ns one
would sirpjioso from so long and close a con
finement. Tho Sister in waiting was very
talkative nnd courteous) nnd ready to answer
nny questions. In resjioiiso to questions jmt
to her, sho stated that the lady lived in
Reading, Penna., and rejieated iu sub'tanco
what apjicars above, ns to licr ailment, treat
ment, .Vc, Ac.
On leaving the sick-room, wo inquired
for Father llciunn, und were nt onco bIio'wu
und admitted into his rooni.' On entering,
we were cordially welcomed by a hearty
shake of the hand) nnd wo at unco made
known our business. Father Heinaii was
very jileu'ed, nnd very jimmjit nnd willing
touuswer ull questions. Ho wns anything
but retieient. We will givo Father Hellion's
own language to questions jiut to him by
Sour roiresjioiidcud i
Conesjionilent Father Hcinan, what is
the name of the sick lady iu your care, nnd
whole does sho live?
Father Heinaii Her name is Amelia
Greth) livps at Reading, and is thirty-six
years of ag.
Cor. How long has sho been sick, and
what is her disease?
Father It. She lias been lying in the con
dition you saw her for the jiast nine weeks,
and her disease is hemorrhage of tho lungs ;
sho has thrown oil' blood from ono to throo
times every day during that time.
Cor. Is she conscious of what is going on
about her?
Father II. Yes,', sir, she is jierfeetly con
scious of everything, and hears all that is
said, but on .Monday morning last at six
o'clock sho became speechless.
Cor. I am informed that, on .Saturday
sho will recover her health perfectly ii'gain?
Father II. Yes, sir; on Saturday nt 8:30
o'clock ill tho morning tho soul will depart
the liody. It may bo in a state of exstucy
or death.
Cor. How long will sho remain in that
condition?
Father H. She will remain one hour in
that condition. At 0:30 o'clock she will bo
called back again and cured instantly.
Cor. If it is a fair question, Father Hcin
an, how will this bo done, and who will do
ft?
Fr'thcr H. All this will come in a sujwr-
nntu'ral way, und, through tho power of
Jesus, I will do It.
Cor. When did yon lean) of this rpwer7
Father H. I have known it this long
time. A'u' angel apjieared to her and told
her this wouh( hnpen.
Cor. When does tho angel ajipcar? , ,
Father H. Tho angel hns been with her
always, und is now in" (ho room. Many
JKrsons saw tho angel (lublirly.
Cor. Have you, Father Hefnan, seen tho
angel?
Futhcr H. No, sir; I havo not teen it
yet.'
Cor. I am told that you cured this wo
man before?
Father H. Yes, sir; I havo cured her
twice, and onco sent her home.
('or. Was the euro jiermanent?
Father II. She was cured jierfertly, but
it win only a tcmwrary cure, long enough
for her to get home.
Cor. Did you inform her of that fact?
Father H. Yes; I told her she wou)d get
eiek ag-iin, that the euro would only last till
she got to her home at Reading.
Cor. Will any one bo admitted on Satur
day to witness Mjes Greth being brought
back to life ngain?
Father H. Oh, yes; everybody is invited
to bo prcrout; but no visitors will be admit
ted niter Thursday evening until Saturday
morning.

Mr. Editor s I overheard a pair of worn
out political nags, a day or two ngo, discus
sing tho feasibility and possibility of defeat
ing ono of our present most efficient officials
one, indeed, against whom nuught can be
said, lest than that ho has faithfully per
formed his duty, at tho election foT local
officers wliich will occur on Tuesday, tho
1 0 ll inst. Now this uoblo pair havo had a
hand in the management of our affairs, and
during their administration, by some mis
management, our borough became a loser of
.some $2000. Thcso aro tho men that want
to rule tho roast these aro tho men that
talk about breaking tho"ring,"ns they stylo
some of our old ami most competent officers,
and dictate to us who shall fill our ofitcus of
trust. Now, Mr. hditor, as a taxpayer and
a citizen, 1 felt somo alarm when I lcarnqd
that such men again presumed to assump
control of our affairs; nnd, fueling some in
terest in the management of our finances, I
havo felt it lny duty, through the columns
of your jiajier, to arouse jmblio attention to
the subject. Heretofore tho corner, hotel
and saloon loungers have formed our tickets,
and even now they aro marshaling their
hosts (?) to foreo a rejKtitiou of the jiast.
Not only tho heavy taxpayers, but tho
men who barely own their own homes and
have to )iay tax, I find aro sleeping letting
everything, l!erully sjicaking, go to tho
dogs by their inaction. Will they not wako
up, until too lute, to. lite importance of deei
siv.e uetion? Do tliey hot know that the
inanagcincntpf oureouncijuml of our school

enough, when through tho incompetency or
iguorauco of tho tho members of ono. branch
of our borough offices, tlio borough Is now a
loser of some two thousand dollars, in jirinei
pal and interest? I'tet tho men who held
ollico nt tho time stnnd aloof they have
jiroved Ihenisclves incompetent to hold office
no matter how tho loss was, caUscd. Ig
norance is no excuse, and the signs of the
timesarc against them. Elsewhere banlj pres
idents, county, treasurers, town clerks nnd

longer an excuso iu such matters.
Mr. Editor, it is your duty, it Is my duty,

This month, which Inthotcmpornto zones
may be regarded as the most unpleasant in
the year, has becu looked ticn as a sort of
touchstone ol the season. Hovering between
winter nnd ejirlng, as it were, and character
ized by disagreeable wcathcr,thore aro many
old proverbs respecting it, such ns the fol
lowing: "February fill the dyke, either
with tho black or whito" that Is, with snow
pr with rain. To this is sometimes added !
"If It bo while, it is llio,. better to like."
Among tho English jiroverbs, we find i "A
Welshman would rather seo his dam on hoi
bier, than sco a fair Februccr." And from
tho Scotch wo havo i "A the Inontlis o' the
year curso a fair Februccr," Wo have tho
Norman Jica,sarit Jironouncing to the same
effect thus : "Fcvrier qui donno neige, bcl
etc nous jdeigo" that is, n snowy February
is tho forerunner of a delightful summer.
From a very early jwriod Irl tho Christian
history, tho '2d of this month hpi been held
as tho festiva!,of tlio Purification ottlic Vir
gin. It Is sllli a holiday in tho Cliureh of
England. IU jioputnr name, Candleii'ins, is
derived from tho ceremony which , tlio
Church of Rome dictates to bo observed on
this day, namely, a blessing of candles by
tho clergy nnd their distribution aiiiolig tho
people Thcro was, nnd jierhnjis still is) a
curious custom in some jarts of Scotland in
relation to Candlemas day : Chi,ldrcil lpako
presents of small sums of money to their
schools teachers. Tho master, ns ho is call
ed, sits at his desk with a countenance tho
most benign, whilo tho children npprpach
him, nnd in sums according to the ability of
ineir jiarents lny tncir olleniigs before him.
The boy and tho girl who gave most were,
resjiectively styled King and Queen. Tho
children being then dismissed for a holiday!
a procession is formed and tho King and
Queen aro paraded' through tho streets car
ried in a seat formed of cross hands, wliich
likely from this circumstauco is called tho
King's chair.
The Cnnl Trade.
Tho anthracite coal trado having reached
a jwint of harmony, unity of action may bo
cxjiected for tho current year and hoped for
lor many years. It is a well-established fact
that there js neither market demand for all
the coal that tho several coal regions call
produco nor is there tomiugo enough for
mora than three-fifths of the existing trans
jiortation capacity. This has been a known
fact for several years, but has just now been
acknowledged by the several jiaities inte
rested. 'I ho direct result of an unwilling
disjiositiou to );icld to tho situation has been
over-jiroductiou of coal, with the verv natu
ral consequence of sovcro loss to all jiartios
trying to market it. Individuals, as well as
eorjwrations, havo differed terribly. They
havo not only lost on current operations,
but, beyond that, they havo lost their coal,
much of which has been literally given
away, tho prices in many instances not
covering mining and trnnsiwrtntion charges.
Tho resolution now entered upon to stop this
suicidal business, and to jiermit to lio in tho
mines all tho coal for which there is no de
mand, meets with almost universal favor,
and giving, as tho agreement does (see 1st
jiage), tho most jierfect freedom of action as
to jiroduction and jriccs,has In it thp essen
tial element of success and long continuance.
l.acli ol all tho several ionics to the com
pact can iiroduco(.whcn they like and stis
jiend roductioii when they hl:'e,'wit(i liberty
to market their coal at jirices satisfactory to
themselves, tho chief restraint being that no
ono of tho parties shall exceed his allotment
of the J-car's estimated production of twenty
millions of tons. Prices of coal nnd lolls
have not yet been adjusted by all tho regions,
but tho jireseut amicable feeling that pre
vails leaves .Ji.ttlo ajiprehension of any
trouhlo on that rioiut, or, indeed, on any
other likely to affect tho arrangement. Tho j
bciiuyikiu ojierators will ceaso Ininjhg to
day for a fortnight, and those of tho Lehigh
region, who havo been stojipcd for a week,
will resume work. Tho other coal regions
will halt in jiroduction much after tho same
fashion, until the old stock on hand is jiretty
much disjwsed of. The jiurposo of all jiar
ties seems to bo to bring the supply of coat
down to tho actual demand. AVhatcver
amount of coal cannot bo profitably market
ed tho ojierators havediscovered can bo more
ehcajily carried whcit left undisturbed iu
tho mines than it ran bo when piled ujion
tho wharves, after having added to it tho
cost of mining and tho cost of transjiorlation,
with the intciett added to both charges. Tho
trade promises well for tho future, nnd, with
projier discretion by tho managers, nil that
is promised will bo realized. Ledger, Mon
