At this conference a let tcr from J. II. Swoyer, tho chairman of the commllteo of tho Lehigh Valley operators, to tho committee appointed by tho other in terests in tho combination, was read. In it tho statement was mado that tho coal oper ators shipping over the Lehigh Valley Rail road considered tho nllotmeu of tonnage foi 1878 unsatisfactory to the Lehigh Valley in terest, and resolved that tho present arrango ment should ccaso on December 31 next. They expressed tho opinion that somo ar rangement should bo mado for tho govern ment of the trade for tho year 1870, so that tho production of coal should bo restricted to tho demand upon nucquitab!obasls,snt!s fnctorytonll paitics in interest. They rd tniucd their committee, for the purposo of negotiating and arranging for temporary stoppages after January 1, 1870, cuding negotiations for a jicrmancut arrangement.

A GnEAT Musical Event ix Jacoii Chunk. l'or a week past, a great topic of interest m town is tuo promised appearance of "America's I'avorilc Violinist," Jadamc Camilla Urso, in a grand concert on .Monday evening, ICth Inst., In the large dining hall oftho Jansion House. For tlioso untamil- iar with her reputation, wo will say that Camilla Urso "Is a lady performer 'on tho violin, who has become ono of the greatest musir.il celebrities of tho age. Her namo is familiar all over this country and in Europe; and wherever she goes thcro seems to be hut one result tho most unbounded admiration and applause. She performed in San Fran cisco before an audience, numbering over fifteen thousand people, and the musical peoplo of tho city gave her a scrcnado at the Occidental Hotel, .accompanied by hundreds of the most prominent citizens. In Loudon sho performed with such success that the Royal Society of Jusicinns, tho Duko of Edinburgh presiding, tho Duchess of Biicilcuh aud many mcmlcrs of Iho Royal Family sent requests for her to play again, in I'.ins mm tlio otner principal cities of Franco her success was unexampled. hast monlli the gave n concert at ,.uusic Hall, Boston, beforo uu audienco numbering over tlirco thousand people. The N. Y. Times says, " wo havo no hesitation in plac ing her among tho foremost of the living violinists.' Jicsuics iinsrcmarKabic artiste, Jiss Ivy Wanderforde, soprano, W. C. Tower, tenor, I. F. Rudolphsen, baritone, nnd Herr Bermo Scheie!;, pianist, aro an nounced. Theso persons mo very highly praised, tiuil tho Philadelphia I'rcss says, " Ruilolphscu has a baritono voice which wo havo never heard excelled," whilo Tower, says the Jontieal Jlcralit, " has a magni ficent tenor voice of great power and com pas, nnd under excellent cultivation," This concert is given under the manage ment of tho local lilcrarv society of this place, tho Alheineuni ; anil through an ex ceptionally fortunate chain of circumstances, they aro enabled to.ofi'er tiekeU at fifty conts, with reserved chair without cxtr.i charge. For many people in and around Munch Chunk, this is nrobnblv tlio nun mt- portunity of a life timo to hear the far famed Camilla Urso, Why cannot the many Hi usic-loving people of Leliighton and neighborhood get uji a jiarty and como up on Monday evcuiug? Tho concert will begin about eight and will probably bo over by ten, and wo doubt whether our people in this region will ever again havo as favorable an opportunity. It will doubtless bo worth tho entire price of admission to hear her play tho "Last Rose of Summer," n piece shu is said always to rescivc for tho final encore. Stautli.no: Rusnm. Whilo tho water was leaping and foaming over the dams In the Lehigh, on Tuesday afternoon, and tho rain was still descending, a startling rumor was circulated that thcro was n serious danger of Dreishbach'a dam btcaking, which islo catcd between Jaiieh Chunk and Summit Hill, and holds back a large bodv of water. If this dam subserves no pubfic good, it might bo disposed of, befuro some serious disaster from (hat souicu does happen. During Tuesday night 'much uneasiness nit felt here on account of tho freshet. Council Meeting. At tho council meet ing on Saturday evening, moneys amount ing fo 02.30 wcro received fiom dill'erent sources, and bills amounting to about $300 wero ordered paid.

It Is believed that some arrangement will bo made to protect tho coal trade after tho expiration oftho combination. Tiik CouiiTa. The courtawill convene ou the 13th of January. Tho criminal docket is unusually large, among which is a pros licet of the rather famous Klotz-Lvnn news juper libel suit. The defendant ill this case, it is understood, has secured tho services ol Hon. Frank W. Hughes, of Pottsvillc, while several wealthy citizens of Jaueli Chunk havo volunteered the sinews of war. if need ed, to fight tho case to tho bitter cud. It is believed by tho wiseacres, however, that the suit will never come to issue. So that those who expect a cep bcnlnd the soene-jiolitic next month are likely to be disnpininled.

Tho anthracite coal trado has reached n position In its affairs of which little is nec essary to bo said. The combination formed last spring, under terms which wcro tacitly osschtcd to by all tho parties to the compact, k now about to expire, and, so far as wo havo outward sign, is not to bo renewed for tho next year. Tho total output of antlira cito ooal for tho calendar year is 18 millions of tons, and the filling up of that quantity will keep all the several parties In tho trade employed to tho end of tho year. That tho conditions of tho combination, notwithstand ing their half-hearted support, havo done much lo put tho trado in its present gener ally wholsomocondition isadmlttcd. There havo been at limes complaints of Injustice to Individuals ond to localities through tho operations of tho combination, but, on the whole, tho trado is decidedly better than at any lime within tho last thrco or four years, and if tho right spirit throughout all the parties could bo brought to bear on tho con sideration of an amended compact for 1870, the present confessed improvement of the trade could be, and, wo have no doubti would bo confirmed, if not further improved. But that just now docs not seem probable. Tho tone assumed by nearly all " tho high contracting parties" lacks all evidence of that conservative spirit from which any hope can bo extracted of rcconcilingdlfferlng opin ions. Up to within tho last few weeks all the seven parties to tho combination, save, perhaps, one, wcro professedly In accord on its chief terms aud conditions, and the pro babilities of an amended combination for next year wero hoped for nnd generally ex pected. It is widely different now, so far as wo may judgo from tho avowals mado by tho respective parties themselves. The relative members at this date for and against combi nation nro nearly reversed from what they were a month since. Now fivo or six of tho seven parties composing the combination say "let it expire by its own limitation," nud expire it is likely to do. Each of tlioso so avowing now claim to have yielded to tho combination during the current year moro In profits than Iho combination gave back to Ihcm in advantages. Thcro is scarcely ono of nil tho parties that docs not assume for its particular company capacities and advantages that, in a free fight for the trado of tho on market, will not cnablo it to como out nt the end of the next year better off than tho best of its competitors. It is apparent that all of theso cannot bo right ns to the result, and it is highly pro bable that each of all of them will reallzo tho fact that all of them will bo greatly mis taken. It is barely possible, that this game of brag is assumed, and is intended to be used hereafter as a make-weight in making tlio most for itself should a combination nt tho last bo determined upon. At this mo ment, however, this possibility is not a pro bability. A break Is confidently looked for. About tho only means now npiiarent for effecting a different result is for tlioso in dividuals who are interested in tlio soveral companies to exert their influence on their respectivo company officers. Tho effects of tho general impression that tho combina tion will not bo renewed is probably best told in tlio ycry general declino in tho prices of the stocks of the coal carrying com names. They nro all down, both here and intlio Iiew lork market. Ledger, Monday.
