The production of anthracite coal has so nearly ceased that wo mayj characterize the trade ns almost featureless, 1$o little is thero doing in it. Nearly all tho anthracite coal regions hove come to. a stand, and it is generally understood that thero will bo no very active production untilb' about tho 1st of April next. This will allow ofimo and opportunity to get rid of most of the old stock of coal and leave the market open for a tolerably full pnxluction at fair prices tlienco to tho end of tha coal-ycar. Already, we are informed tho market showsjmnrovemont in increased orders, especially at New York and farther eastward. Just now the incon venienco of tho temporary suspension of production is felt somewhat keenly by tho companies having interest payments and other, fixed charges to., meet, but orrange nieiitc to this end, we understand, havo been fully made, and all ecrious trouble in this regard will bo tfded over. The chief point in tlio year's business, tho maintenance of the combination in good faith, progresses satisfactorily, and there is daily fuller reli ance upon ft to effect a resuscitation of tho trade to a fairly remunerative busincss.,1, ( Tlieiollo vlmr table shows mo quantity oi coal shipiiea over tlio Lelitjih Valloy uailroau lor the week cueing l'oo. icih, 1878 uuu for tae year us uoia pared tlio nauii tiuie iut yeur.

Mr. Kditou: Havingiead 111 your paper repoits of tho remarkable cures of catarrh, I am induced to tell "what I know about catarrh," and I fancy tho "snuti" and ia-haling-tubo" makers (mere dollar grabbers) would bo glad if they could emblazon a simi lar euro in the papers. For SO years I suf fered with catarrh. The nasal passages be camo completely closed. "Snuff," "dust," "ashes," "inhaling-tubs," and sticks, wouldn't work, though at Intervals I would snilfuptha so-called catarrh snuff, until I became a valuable tester for such medicines. I gradually grow worse, and no ono can know how much I suffered or what a miser able being I was. My head ached over my eyes so that I was confined lo my bed for many successivo days suffering" tho most intenso pain, which at one time lasted con tinuously for 10S hours. All sense of smell and tasto.,gopc, sight and hearing impaired body shrunken and weakened, nervous sys tem shattered, and constitution broken, and I was hawking and spitting seven-eighths ot tho time. I prayed for death to relieve me of iny suffering. A favorablo notlco in your jiajierof Dr. Sage's Catarrh Itemed)' 'induced mo to purchaso a package, and use it with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which ap plies tho remedy by hydrostatic pressure the only way campaliblo with common sense, Well, Mr Editor, it did not cure mo in three-fourths of a second, nor in ono hour or month, but in less than eight minutes I was rclievcd. aud in threo mouths entirely cured, and havo remained so fo- over six teen months. While using the. Catarrh Re medy, I used Dr. Pierce's GjlJcn medical Discovery to purify my bloo a and strengthen my stomach, X also kept pay liver active and bowelsregular by thouse.ofhls Pleasant Pur gative Pellets. If my experience will in duce other sufferers co seek tho samo means of relief, this letter will havo answered its purpose. yours truly, B. D. UEMICK. aUKKIKU, ' . D'jeisb '.en Hoprra.
