OUR INDUSTRIES, No. 2.
Slmiglitln? mid Curing .Ucat.
That which Is of tho most importanco to
every community, whether largo or small,
is to know whether or not thoy aro making
progress in developing tho resources which
nature hns placed within their rcaoh. It
is a consoling thought to any community to
know that it has within itself tho elements
of llfo tho means of self-support if isolated
from tho remainder of the world, but with
out contemplating sueh a contingency. Such
nn nssuranco,howevcr, in tho United States,
belongs to ccitaln favorably located agricul
tural districts. It is ono of tho principles
that cements tho bond of union in this
country that each community is dependent
upon tho other to a greater or less degree,
nnd that neither can nttnln to tho highest
degrcoof progicss and prosperity without
tho oilier.
That which principally drew tho present
largo number of people to tho Lehigh Valley
mid the adjacent tnitory is its rich min
eral deposits, chiefly anthracite coal which,
in tho economy of tho industries of this
country, has becomo ono of tho indispeusi
blo necessities.
Onco here, and although largely depend
ent upon mining and tho collateral indus
tries which it has called into existence, the,
first question is a social ono how wo can
best economize tho elements upon which wo
depend for life, health and strength ? Only
a limited jiortion of tho hilly, rook-bound
soil is ad a pod to agriculture, nnd henco a
largo jwrtion of tho alimentary necessities
must bo brought from such localities ns
make a specialty of producing them. The
next question arises, how can they bo oh'
tallied, brought nnd dispensed to tho great
est advantage to tho consumer? If they nro
procured in tho rawest possible manner di
rectly from tho hand of tho producer, nnd
hero prepared to bo consumed, tho commu
nity will reap n double, advantage, first, in
the matter of tho price of tho articles; and
second, in having tho labor wrought here.
In our purposo to glanco at the material
industries of tills portion of tho valley
wo last week took tho Emery Wheel Co. ns
a subject, which is nn example of the manu
facturing industries; nnd now this week,
as ono of tho social industries, wo havo
selected Joseph Obert's slaughtering and
meet curing establishment, located in this
borough .
That Mr. Obcrt is a man of sterling en
terprise and unflinching business qualities
tho history of ids efforts abundantly testify.
After having battled with tho difficulties
and prejudices which every business pioneer
is called upon to combat, In June, 1875, tho
fire-fiend Eat him down just where ho com
menced. PhaJiiix-liUe, however, in thrco
mouths, in time for his winter business, ho
erected on the site of llio old wooden build
ings a firo-proof brick block, the front end of
which, containing the honey-combed tiers
of smokehouses, is fivo stories high. Tho
block is CCxOO feet, built on tho most im
proved method, and containing all tho lat
est conveniences, which science and person
al exporienco haye suggested for slaugher
ing tho live nnim.it, dressing, handling, cut
ting, salting, packing, smoking, and storing
tho cured meat, for keeping warm in winter
and cold in summer. For tho latter pur
pose, tho building is provided with two ice
houses, extending from gancl to basement,
and so constructed ns to throw their arctic
breezes into tho pickling nnd packing-room.
Thcro aro other departments, for cutting up
tho meat by improved machinery and
making it into sausages, balognics and pud
ding, nnd for rendering lard; the building
is furnished with steam power and hot wa
ter from an engine nnd boiler in tho lower
story. In tho rear oftho building, remind
ing ono of the stories of tho old Fiench
Bastilo from which no voico of complaint
ever readied tho outsldo woild, is tho place
whero tho living poroiuc, unmindful oftho
terrible foto that awaits him within, enters
tho building, and over this entrance, in
swino lingo, should bo written tho warning
injunction, "Tlioso who enlcr here never
return." For, ns tho Irishman would say,
his pigship, wends his way up an easy in
cline piano tn llio (op story, and in a short
time after finds himself piecemeal in tho
hands nf tho letail butcher, coolly salted
down in tho basement, or elongated into a
hundred feet or moro of sausage.
In the architectural design of the building
special roferenco wjs had to lighting and
ventillalion, nnd the floors aie so construct
ed as to throw all tho blood and debris from
the different rooms to a common centre,
from whence it is iminediatcdly carted to
(lie I hits nnd converted into feitilizers. In
til is way tho establishment is always kept
neat and as cleanly as a thrlfly housewife's
buttery, a matter to which Mr. Obert gives
the most scrupulous and conscientious atten
tion. Tho water-supply is carried from a
monster well under tho engine-room by
pipes connecting a steam lorco-punip tn a
largo icservoir in tho top of tho building,
I'ioiii whenco supply pipes convey it to every
apartment. Tho water supply is further
augmented by a hillside spring, tho spark
ling waters from which nro carried into the
building by pipes, nnd also into tho propri
etor's residence in front on Bank street.
Tho barn and other adjacent buildings
aro also of brick, nnd firo-proof. In tho
smokehouse, tho lires aro mado of tho
wooil oftho hickory-lree, and tho closest at
tention given to this smoke-curing process.
Mr. Obert purchases his hogs with tho ut
most care, and they aro shipped to him by
rail. Ho has slaughtered between two and
three hundred thousands pounds of pork,
and somo beef, this season, aud ho will
slaughter a great deal moro yct.noariy all of
which is supplied to tho consumer or to tho
retail trado in the Lehigh Valley. Tho
present price of a net dressed hog is sixceiiU
per pound. Ho has done a larger business
this year than last, and his trado shows a
steady yearly increase. His meats nro al
ways of tho best quality, aud cured in tho
most careful manner. Tho establishment
is located directly in tho rear of tho First
National Bank building, also tho property
of Mr. Obcrt.

From llio Count)- Sent.
Count Doi.vos. The peculiarity about last
week's term of tho Court of Quarter Sessions
and Oyer and Terminer Is that very little
was accomplished very llttlo progress was
made, nnd consequently Judgo Prchor lias
set tho second Monday In March as tho day
on which an extra term of theso Courts will
bo commence. Thcro arc twenty or more
cases which aro docketed to this oxlrn term,
and the court will Issue a venire for a special
iwtlt Jury. Tho reason why so few trials
wero had, lies In tho fact that Tuesday nnd
Wednesday wero wholly consumed In wrnng
ling over tho misnomer Issue In tho libel
caso. Tho Penn Forest rnpo pasc, which was
brought up nt tho Thursday evening session,
consumed that and tho whole of noxt day
and evening sessions. This was by far the
most entrancing Indictment on tho docket,
nnd tho auditorium was crowded with both
sexes during its progress. Tho prosecutrix,
Caroline Brown, is, or would bo under more
favorable circumstances, a handsomo little
brunette, whoso faco Indicates that sho is
not ever eighteen. She was married to
Brown, her husband, who sat by hor sido
during the trial, when sho was only fifteen
years old, and, If appenr.uioos are not decep
tive, ho is threo times her own age. For
counsel, to assist District Attorney Siewcrs,
sho had engaged Hon. W. M. Ropsher. Tho
defendant, Reuben Scrfass, is probably forty
five, has a family, and, bosides being mixed
up in tho recent railroad robberies, is also
bald-headed (not an inconvenient defect for
a man who contemplates rebelling against
"homo rule," as Reuben Is alleged to have
dono in this case.) As counsel, the services
of Gen. Charles Albright and Hon. A. Craig
had been secured by tho defendant. It be'
lug a caso of Oyer nnd Terminer, defend'
nut's mouth was closed, but the only wit'
ucss who knew tho whole truth against him
was the prosecutrix, and she was a novice
in making herself understood in English ;
and when she went on tho stnnd, it bncamo
necessary for the court to have nn Interpret
er, and for this duty, the court commission
ed tho well-known Pennsylvania Dutch
author, Pit Swifllebrcniicr; nnd, if a digres
sion is permissible, wo would say that the
way that Pit can sling court English into
Pino Swamp Dutch, and then snatch said
Dutch back into court English is a cautioli,
Tho facts in tho caso in brief arc, that last
June, Reuben Scrfass engaged Mrs. Brown
to assist his wifo in her household duties. A
few days after, ho sent his wife on a visit to
her father, whero sho remained ono night;
and it was during this night that the rapo
was alleged to have been committed. When
tho wife returned next day, sho brought
with her two female friends, who found tho
quondtim assistant housekeeper engaged in
making bread and other household affairs.
But Mrs. Scrfass, having an inkling that
somo "crookedness" had been going on dur
ing her absence, immediately switched the
little brunette off the Scrfass track in a most
summary manner, who at once caused tho
husband's arrest on a charge of rape, ns one
witness testified sho said, "not because, she
had anything against Reuben, but to spito
Mrs. Serfoss for chasing her away from tho
house." Tho defense put on the stand num
eroiis witnesses to prove that tho prosecutrix
was immensely peculiar " for ways that ore
daik and for tricks that aro vain," and after
defendant's counsel had stripped her of every
vestigo of those charms which luro tho im
agination of man into pleasant dreams about
" fair woman," tho caso was given to the
jury, who returned n verdict of 'I not guilty
But tho evidence wns quito conclusive Hint
Mrs. Scrfass' head, when sho concluded to
dispenso with tho further services of her as
sistant, would havo centred tho bead in a
spirit level.
Tho libel caso, which had been set for Fii-
day afternoon, was not readied until Satur
day nfternopiijwheii Hon.LJn Bartholomew,
of Pottsville, officiated forthodefenso. There
wero thrco separato indictments pendin
against Josephus Lynn. Mr. Bartholomew,
desired to havo tho cases continued, as ho
was ml prepared on such short notice to do
justice to his client. Commonwealth argued
that, Major Klotz had been falsely accused
by tho defendant, of robbing a Catholic
church while an officer in the U. S. Army
in Mexico; that tho chargo hung over his
head in public opinion, mid that tho Court
should give him tho earliest opportunity to
vindicate himself. It was decided that tho
caso should bo at once proceeded with, when
counsel for defense mado a inolion toquush Uio
inuictmcnt ontliccioundjorintormalitiesiu
issuing, signing, and serving tho venire for
llio grand and petit jurors, nnd further set
ting forth that as tho panel of petit jurors
had been exhausted, tho Courtcould by law,
neithor carry over the pauol to Monday,
nor try a caso in tho quarter sessions
Com t with a travcrsejury. Tho entire after
noon was taken up by counsel in arguing,
and these abstract issues; and at its conclus
ion, Judgo Dieher decided not to quash tho
warrants for tho causo set forth, but to con
tinuo tho caso to tho extra term in March,
this decision gave entire satisfaction to the
defense.
Soaiice -Material out of which interest
ing news items can bo made is exceedingly
scarce and precious just now, Tho local
papers sadly feel this paucity of live topics,
Notwithstanding tho hanging and the
courts Inst week, the Coal Gazette, probably
for lack of a better topic, devoted its second
editorial to tho discussion of Kidney Dif
ficulties." I havo really not had time to
read the article, but it no doubt contains
somo sound advice to men who are short in
tho element of" backbone."

upon the morality and intelligence of Car

of 19 years, who has been married to him
four years, almost admits upon the stand
that l,a told her sho might bo a party to
criminal intercourse with other men, and
now she is before tho court a prosecutrix in
a relativo ease. It is not a lack of morality
so much that afllicts this county as a want
of intelligence, more visible ot every term
of court by llio exhibition of jurors in whoso
hands during tho past few years now sad

Wo have no special chango lo report In
,, ,, ., , , , , . .i ,
the anthracite coal trade during tho
week. Thooutlook generally is good for tho
season, nnd, indeed, Is much better than was
hoped for a month ago. Tho feeling of par-
tics In tho trade is moro harmonious. Thcro
Is less disposition among them "to throw
bricks" opp nt another. Each seems dis
posed to advance his own interests as di
rectly and as largely as possible, without
nny special o'fiiirt U injure Ills neighbor.
This is a good denl gained, ns nothing so
much furthers legitimate business ns close,
and undivided attention, and each in the
coal trado giving all his time to his own
affairs will bo more sure to prosjier than if
he abstracts n ponton of it to tho prejudice
of competitors. Tho severe weather within
the last fortnight has quickened tho demand
for conl nnd tended very materially to re
duce the slock of coal on hand, for which
there is a continued good demand at satis
factory prices. Tho retail dealers nro pretty
well employed in the delivery of old stocks,
the snow obstruction to transportation on
tho railroads aiding them in this regard.
Notwithstanding this temporary intcrfer
eioo tho movement of coal from the iijincs
to tlio larger markets for consumatioi) is
unusually largo for tho season; indeed, wo
aru informed that the Lehigh Navigation
Company and its connections nro doing a
larger business than at nny corresponding
time in tho past. Wo have a liko report
from tho Reading Railroad and Its connec
tions, which nro doing a very hirgo winter
tonnage. The new business which thiscom
tmiiy now has, of sending Sohuylkill coal
by tlio Bound Brook route tn Port Johnson
nnd tho Eastern market, opens auspiciously,
nnd will odd tnnterally to the usual aggre
gate Schuylkill toniiago in winter. Borne
two or three of tho more northern transpor
tation companies being interfered with by
snow and ice makes it better for tlio Schuyl
kill and Lehigh Navigation Companies.
Nearly nil tho producers of coal report full
orders nnd firm prices, tints lessening appre
hension of a dull market at very luw prices
ot the opening of tho spring trade. At pre
sent there is no djsjiositiou on the part of
nnoralnrs to overproduce, and thus to break
tho market. The estimate is that nt least 21
millions of tons of ami may bo marketed nt
remunerative prices this eurrentyeiir, which
will give to nil tho leading inteicsts in tho
trade nbout ns much as thev will cire to do.
There nro reports in tlio Sojiuylkill region of
strikes of somo fivo or six collieries, nnd, ns
alleged, for delayed payment of buck pay.
These statements, wo nro informed, appear
much more formidable ill the reading than
in practical effecton tho trade, Tho alleged
reason for tho strike, wo hear staled, is not
tho truo one, but thepropriclorsoj'tliomincs
which arc stopped do not caro to oxnoso tho
truth qf tho matter lis it really stands. The
wholo amount fif buck pay Involved was but
400,000, and was at the tune of the striko in
artual cuorso ot iiaymoiit. About one-half
oi mis amount has already oecu paiil,unu
tho balanco will bo ns 6ooii ns the "pay car"
can leach tlio several (mints where tho pay
is due, arriving, probably, at tho striking
collieries last, at which work may not boinv
mediately resumed, thus tending to prevent
an over-production in the early spring.
Thus the strikes ore really nothing at nny
oftho coal regions, but where attempted,
will nrovo healthful revuUions injuring
only the strikers. Lcdycr Monday.

The attention of the peoplo of this town
and oounty is six-dally called to the number
of deaths reported in tho papers from that
dreadful dirnso consumption. In fact, this
disease is reported to be constantly in
creasing, ns can bo seen by examining tlio
mortality list, nnd nil caused by not breaking
up n slight cough or cold ns soon ns it np
pears, which can bo easily dono by using
Hale's Honey of Horchoupd nnd Tur, nn
article which wns discovered by the lato Dr.
Hale, a celebrated physician nf Europe, and
used in his privolo prnrtico mr ninny venrs
with great success. Tho present proprietor,
believing this market required just such nil
article, has purchased tho same at a largo
outlay, nnd is preparing It nccording to th
oiiginnl recipe. And those who hnve used
the nrtiolo ( who nro thousands) consider It
a certain euro for all coughs, colds, hoarse
lies', difficult breathing, and nil affections
of the tlpoat, bronohiul tubes nnd lungs
leading to ooiisumptjoi). Sold by all drug
gist. Great saying by puiohasing largo
