Groin fields look very promising, Look out for clothes line thieves and back yard sneaks. William Getz's ryo fields, are about tho best in this valley. Tho whippoorwills havo already mado themselves heard ill the marshes. A hen belonging to H. J, Denpey re cently laid two eggs in onoday. Something extraordinary. The woods look very fine since the re- rent rain clothed, as they are, in a bcauti- mi suit oi gieeu. Jack Irost paid us a visit on Monday last, and spoiled most all tho early gardens in our vicinity. Tho public roads of Penn Forest town ship are almost in an impassable condition, and it is hardly safo for teams to go over. I would advise our wormy supervisor, Adam Meckcs, to attend a little more to his busi ness, or ho may learn something to his own sorrow. The Republican and Democrats of Fenn Forest and Kidder townships arc be ginning to shako hands over tho little dif ferences that have existed among them in tho past. They say they tried a departure with the intention of making on improve ment, but have to acknowledge that the cure is worse than the disease. Our people have become so virtuous, in the estimation of a certain party, that they think a constable is unnecessary. When a political party, nominates and elects a man to an office I think It becomes their duty to assist him in procuring that office, mid sus tain him while in tho discharge ofhis duties. Adam D. Christman residing about 4 miles from this place, has made prestations for the erection of a bam. Tho staucturo is to bo 80 x 44 and 18 feet high, this is said to bo one of the largest buildings In Penn Forest township. Mr. ChrUtman seems to depend a little moro on funning than here tofore, and I think it is about tiino for somo of our other lumber merchants to depend a little more on farming than tlu-y havo doue. on account ol lumbering being nearly piaycn out in old Penn Forest.

A brilliant spectacle was witnessed at St. Clair, Schuylkill county, Thursday hffjlit. G. W. Johns A Brother's colliery caught fire about ten o'clock, and in d short time tho wholo structure was enveloped in dazzling' flames that illuminated the surrounding: country to tho brightness of day. For twenty miles around thehcavens reflected the light; causing alarm all oVer Schuylkill county. The fire departments of St. Clair and , Potts villo wcro soon on tho scene, but the fire was beyond Sohtrol. Thd props supporting tho costly machinery wero burned nway and mo eievaiors and loners ieu a distance oi 100 feet to tho ground with a noiso like thd boom of a cannon and sending up showefs of sparks that wcro whirled In nil directions somo of them fulling on adjoining building and setting them on fire. Tho excitement attending tho fire was intense; jieoplo rush ing to mo scene irom an pans oi tne sur rounding neighborhood. In about two hours tho whole structure wits destroyed. It was built in 1857 and employed 250 men and boys, who will bo thrown out of worki Tlio colliery was worth about $100,000, and wai insured for $32,500. It w'a$ the only colliery in tbo vicinity that was working, and its loss is a great blow to the town. Tho origin of tho firo is unknown, yet it is inti mated mat tno tominumsts are responsible for it. The Coal Trade, Tho anthracito coal trade wears a mord cheerful aspect than nt any lime bofore dur ing the present year. Tho stock of coal on baud of nearly all the companies is fast run" ning down, and orders for coal are Increas1 ing at advanced prices. As compared with this time last year, the Lehigh Valley Rail road has reduced its stock on hand nt Perth Amboy 103,000 tons. It was theri 136,000 tons; it has now on hand but 33,000 tons. The Lehigh and Wilkcs-Barro Coal Company within tlio past month has reduced its stock of coal one-half, and within ten days all of its stock of coal will be disposed of. The company has now no coal piled, all that it has being in loaded cars. Thd Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company reports Its cntiro production for the month of Juno sold at all advance. Tho second week of tlio voluntary suspension of mining ill tho Schuylkill region ended witli Saturday evenings of courso there is no anthracito tonnage to re jiori, irom uiui district.
