The annual report of tho Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, which Is published In
advance of tho anunal meeting on Fobrvnry
25, gives tho receipts of tho year 1878 at
$900,250, and tho expense (ncludlng$890,
393 Interest) at $1,325,113, a loss on the
year's operations of $355,860. This sum is
deducted from the dividend fund, which at
tho beginning of tho year was $403,032, nnd
leaves' to the credit of that fund now $107,172,
Tho company carried 2,503,731 tons of coal
Iu 1878, n decrease of 612,438 tons. Of tills
tonnage 1,197,193 tons were shipped by the
Lehigh and Wllkesbnrre Coal Company, nnd
their production for tho year was 1,221,126
tons, compared with 2,196,864 tons In 1877.
Compared with J877 tho incoino from cod)
tonnage decreased in 1878 but $25,413. The
railroad rent was less and the canal and coal
earnings larger. Of tho decreased revenue
$148,171 wailosson Ihcleasoofllio Delaware
Division Canal. Tho company's floating
debt increased during 1878 about $300,000.
Tho report, in giving the year's history,
states that tho revenue or tho earlier months
was very light, and all tho losses wcro In
curred prior to May. After May 1st the Com
pany earned alt its fixed charges, including
tho rent of tho Delaware Division Canal,
The company's pait in tho coal combination
is described, nnd its share in tho output
umder the allotment to tho Central Railroad
of New Jersey it stated at but iJ per cent of
the total output. This was much less than
the compauy's capacity. Tho total, produc
tion for the year, 17,005,202 tons, was nbout
two-thirds of tho total capacity of all the
mines for eight months full work aud four
mouths' halftimojtay ten full months. The
company had five breakers working nnd
threo idle, and the allotment gave about
two thirds work for the five breakers. If
the consumption should incrcaso to 28,000,
000 per annum, tho fivo breakers could still
furnish tho quota as allotcd in 1878, and a
continuation of that projiortionate allotment
would require tho abandonment jicrmancnt
ly of threo operations. Tho other shipiiers
are in nbout the samo position. The tym
pany always claimed certain advantages for
tho coal tributary to its line. Tho hard
while ush Lehigh is always in great demand
during the active season, and tha company
ias never been ablo to to meet tho wants of
its customers even at prices considerably
higher tliau those of thrco-fourl'is of the
anthracite product. Tho coals sent by this
lino from the other Lehigh regions aro very
iiopular, and command ready salo at iut
little lower prices than tho company's own
product, nnd the Wilkosbarro coal ranks
witli the best from tho Wyoming region.
The view of tho report is that tho abandon
ment of tho combination will be for the
company's benefit, and it proposes to ayail
of every advantage given by its position.
The combination is described as having ope
rated injuriously on the Lehigh Canal, which
during 1878 had $99,327 profits. Hbusiness
is unrestricted this year a largo increase or
tonnago is anticipated, with hotter financial
icsults. Tho report mentions that at the
annual meeting tho modification of tho lease
of tho Delaware Division Canal, already
referred to, will bo presented to tho stock
holders, aud recommends its ratifica
tion. This modification, already agreed to
by tho Canal Company, is expected to save
tho Lehigh Navigation Company about
$70,000 annually. It reduces tho rent from
8 percent to-J per cent dividends on tho
Canal Comjiauy's stoc,k,aiid provides fo ex
changing the latter stock for Lehigh Navi
gation stock. It also extendsfortwenty years
from July 1, 1878, tho time for paying the
principal of tho $800,000 bonded debt of the
dual. It further provides that tho rent due
this ycaranil In February, 1S80, may be paid
in scrip, and that thereafter until February,
1881, half scrip and half cash, Tho present
year, the rcxrt states, opened with a small
stock of coal on hand and a good demand for
Lehigh uals, and says that for tho first time
in many years tho company derived a profit
from its coal business in January, and ex
jiects equally good results iu February,
whilst tho railroad earnings have been larger
than usual. Tho company has fivecollierics
iu operation, with a productivo opacity of
3000 toas a day, and it has nodoubt this can
all bo sold ut lairly remunerative prices.
Tho Lehigh ojierators aro described as all
increasing their shipment of coal. The re-
iiort confidently anticipates a much larger
shipment botli by railway and canal thi
year, aud that tho sujierior quality of the
Lehigh coals nud tho company's other ad
vantugas will give it a larger share of the
year's coal market than hcretolore,aud with
more satisfactory financial results.

On tho c'cuing of February 3d, Rev. J. E

OUR INDUSTRIES, No. G.
Xlic Mnnufncturo ol Clffnri.
In our Industrial articles, for tho past few
weeks, we hnya dealt with the mora solid
and substantial enterprises which, It) past
years, havo been started in this vicinity and
havo been crowned with success. But, jt
has been truly said that "variety is thesplpe
of life," and so this week wo prse to treat
our readers to a gllmpo nt an Industry that
has, with one exception, been lha worst
abused nnd tho best patronized ol any that
Amcrioan civilization las called into exis
tence tho converting of tobacco into cigars.
Thero aro thoso In every community who
sco 111 tho
Sublime tobnecol which from east In west,
Cheers the tar's labor or tho Turkman's rest,
Only a continual evil, nnd no doubt bcliovo
that every puifof tobacco smoko that rises
from the lijisof tho contented smoker tickles,
in the most agreeable manner, tho olfactories
of his Satanic Majesty. Wo do not purpose
to combat this theory, booauso we have no
positive knowledge of his Satanic Majesty's
views on this or any other subject, and are
not over anxious to form his acquaintance
for tho purpose of interviewing him. But,
suffice, it to say, that a recent American
writer has dared to proclaim that "History
shows all of our best Presidents were cigar
smokers; therefore ifyou would be success
ful in entering the White House, provide
yourself with a box of the 'General Grant
cigar." It is a well known fact that what
ever part smoking might have played in
putting General Grant in the Presdantlal
Chair, it certainly took a great deal of pull
ing to smoke him out of it. Again, Lord
Byron wrote' of tho "weed :"

r'Pe
Llko other charmers, wooing tho caress

Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
xny naKcu ucauues uivo me a cigar i
Tho tastes and inclinations, then, of the
multitude iu every thickly settled commu
nity lias created the demand for the cigar
maker, and the number engaged in this in
dustry in tho United States is thousands.
About three years ago, two enterprising
young gentlemen from Allcntown, coneeivcii
of a plan to start a cigar manufactory la
this borough. They were both practical
cigar makers, and therefore run HtUe risk
in tho establishment of tho enterprise; for,
procuring a good stand on Bank street,
nearly opposite the Exchange Hotel, they
opened a neat retail tobacconist's store. If
they had not succeded In extending their
trade outside, they could not fail to make a
living by patient Industry and economy.
But from the start their enterprise was a
success. They adopted that safest of all
mottoes in business "Honesty is tho best
policy." The goods they mado contained
exactly tho kind of stock represented, and
that the best that could bo had for tho
money. Whenever they succeeded in get
ting a customer they kept him. Their ci
gars recommended themselves. They be
gan a system of judicious advertising; their
business gradually extended; they soon
found It necessary to engage additonnl help,
until at the present timo they have six em
ployees nt work daily, who aro capablo of
turning out about 10,000 cigars per week.
What would seem a singular fact, Koch
Bros, have sent out no drummers or agents
to solicit patronage, yet their wholesale
trado extonds into New York aud Now Jer
sey. What they most need atthepresant
time is more room in the manufacturing
departmental problem which (hey aro study
ing to 6olvc.
The brands, under which cigars arc sold
llko bonnets, pin-backs aud shoes, havo n
fashionable run, as it were, and then the
cigar maker finds it necessary to change tho
sliajio of his cigar a litte, put a iiH'erent
pattern on the boxes, nud they aro sent to
tho retailer as "something new." Of course
smokers understand this, but enjoy the
novelty, just tho same as tho young lady
docs her last spring bonnet bcing.trimmcd
over into tho fall style. Tho brands which
Koch Bros, aro now running are "Our Bull
Dozers," "Royal Seal" nnd "Our Own." In
each of these brands a different combination
of stock is used, giving ash a distinct
flavor.

It Is rumored that Judge Packer and the
managers of the Lehigh Valley Railroad are
contemplating a sweeping reduction in the
fricglit rates on coal, to tnko effect on or '
nlinlit llin flrit. nt Anrtl. In flirt fant nrilial
tri-polorcd, liydra-hoaded combinations that
poison from every sourco the currents of tho
coal-trade, it l not easy for even tlio wisest
heads to forcsco what is tho best course to
pursue, as a matter of protection, nt tho
fountain head of this Industry. Thero nro
Various and conflicting Interests to ho subt
served, and there will always bo as many
opiptons, clashing With caph other, ns there
arcliidlyidual interests to be Injured or bene
fitted. Up to tl;ls timo it has been ossjblo
to monopolize anthracite coal mining, be
cause tlio mines are bound up iu mountain
rayincs nud are therefore hard of access;
but the finding of coal iu divers localities,
coupled with tho progressive spirit of tl)0 jco
pie, ha ye rendered it almost iuqwssiblo to
hold the hand of monojioly over it any
longer. It has therefore become almost a
necessity for tho Lehigh Valley interests to
make somo progressive tiioyo In self-defense.
A reduction of carrrying rales would iu
yojro a corresponding reduction iu the prico
of coal to the consumer. But there Is a class
of reasoners in this valley who argue that
the higher It hat tho price of coal cau be
mado In tlio market, the greater tlio prosper
ity of the trade, nnd that if tho ojierators,
miners and carriers, identical iu interests,
would flrm)y combine, aud make the prico
$5 at tide-water, it would usher in the "bet
ter time coining," and shed a halo of pros
Jierity over tho now gloomy coal fields.
This is n narrow and dangorous viejv of the
matter, and calls to mind the man who at
tempted to raise himself up by his own boot
straps. Tho argument assumes that as
much coal would bo purchased and consumed
at $5 as at $2.5r, which Ib a false hypothesis,
ir an unnatural high prico is demanded for
any necessity it distresses tho consumer nnd
this, sooner or later, rebounds ujkhi the pro
ducer by curtailing tho demnnd,. IT the
price of coal was now forced to $5, it would
benefit u few operators nud miners; would
throw thousands of minors and carriers and
others engaged iu iron-working and in man
ufacturing, all over the country, out uf cm
ployment,and bringdistress to every consum
er or coal,oveu to tho poor man who uses it tu
warm his (tenement aud cook his meals. It
is, indeed, the opinion or many that if oil
the cliques and combinations in the anthra
cite coal regions could be hopelessly broken
up, and our carrying companies, opporatcd
upon .a tfore economical basis, would take
the products of tho mines to market at the
lowest possible figures, now life would bo
iufused into coal mining ami selling, and
play an important part in lifting the gloom
that euvclopes nearly all our industries.
Coal having become a necessity, like every
other necessity, should become subject to the
law of supply aud demand. This change
would put thousands of now idle aud hun
gry people to work, and no grcator blessing
can be thought of in each community than
that which will assist iu putting the unem
ployed to earning their daily bread.

Sudden Dcutlu
Allcntown Democrat : On Monday fore
noon our jicoplo weic shocked to htar of the
sudden death of Mr. Mifllin Hannum, one
of tlio beet-known citizens of Allcntown, and
whoso unexpected demise, iniprctecd most
forcibly upon tho minds ofalltho uuceiUln
ty of life and the mortality of humanity.
Hu at about 10 o'clock visited tho post-oflieo
and several othor places, aud reaching his
homo soon after complained of being ill.
Seating himself in a chair in his sitting
room, ho there soon after expired, of hcait
disease. Thus suddenly and unexpectedly
lo luwe who but a short timo before had
seen him ou our streets, sceminglyj.in tlie
vigor of perfect health, passed from eart a
man who occupied an affectionate place lor
many years in the hearts of his fellow-men.
He was bom In Luiernocounty in 161S,and
came to Allcntown in 1817, and resided
in Allcntown ever slnco with tlio exception
of nn interval of seven years, when he was
located at Wllkosbarrc He was known
among his friends as an honcrublo man, and
nlwuysheld thocontdenceof the people, not
only of this city, but of tho entire county.
As a man ho was conscientious and upright,
and although ossessed of nn nmiablo and
compassiounto disposition, he was neverthe
less firm and Indexible, in his purpose of
what ho conceived to be just and proiier.
He was practical printer by tr.ide,'and us
such came lo Allcntown, and with his long
time friend, James ItalTerty (long sines de
ceased,) bought out tlio office of tho Lehigh
Bulletin, changed tho titlo to Allentown
Democrat, and then forasericsof years, with
his oo-partner, conducted tho paper very
successfully. Later Mr. Ilafierty retired,
and Mr. Hannum continued the paper alone.
Later on the deceased bought out the Lu
icrnc Union, at Wilkoebarre, which ho con
ducted until 1 SCO, when ho again sold out
and witli his family returned to Allentown, J
At tho time of his deatli he was In his Cist
year. Ho leaves a wife and two children

"My mother wnsnfllicted a long time with
Neuralgia nnd a dull, heavy, Inactive con
dition of tho whole system; headache, nervr
oua prostration, und was almost helpless.
No physicians or medicines did her nny
good. Three months ago sho began to 110
Hop Ditters, with such good elloet that sho
seems and feels voun ngalu, although over
70 years old. Wo think there is no other
medioiuo fit to use iu tho family." A holy,
rrovidoncc, R. I. tr.
nriursiiit and i.liIclun 7r
A physician, miuplatnint bittorlv nbout
dull times, went to Ins druggist to find out
tho reason why, ut this season ui the year,
his practice was not so extensive ns formerly;
also, to find out what inducements his bro
ther medico ottered Ut ottraut away his pi
tients. He was startled when his druggist
answered as follows: "Doctor, roughs nud
coliis nro vcrv prevalent', but cverv one is
purrhising Hai.k's Honkv op Hiirkiiolxii
and Tar, amd recovers so rapidly that there
is no necessity for calling iu h" physician.
Again, the reason that Dr. V., 011 lh
street, Is having so many patleuU is owing
to llio frankness ho adopted iu pericriliing
iu every case, of Coughs Colds, etc., a bottlo
of Hale's Hoxev ok Houkiiounu ash Tab,
and finding it successful, ho had concluded
in future that all his patients, when troub
led tvith any disease of tho lungs, shall im
mediately coiumetioo taking Halk's IIo.skt
op HOUKIIOUM) ami Tau."
Tho druggist's ndvlca was snapped, nud
llio almost discouraged physiciou now ram
sidwcil 0 successful practitioner. Hisc'iiiuis
nro based upon tlio virtues of tlm medicine
ho adopts, which in nil cases is Half's Hon
kv op IIouEiiocsn and Tab. Sold by all
druggists, Ij-irge slzu much the cheapest.
