A Reading correspondent of the New York Sun, writing under tho date of tho 23d inst., says i Tho fall of n yellow substance on the evo of St. Patrick's Day, which was at first supposed lo bo sulphur, Is kllll tho up permost topic here. The shower extended over an area of about two hundred miles, in cluding tho Counties of Berks, Lehigh, Car- bon, Schuylkill, nnd Luzerne, and that the "yellow snow' camo to stay with us awhile is shown bv the fact that quantities of it can yet be seen sticking lo the stones and bricks nlong the principal streets. Many theories nro advanced as to what tho substanco really Is. Many persons still claim that It Is gen uine sulphur, while others nvcr that it is the pollen of pino trees, wafted on tho wind from tho pine forests ofthe Southern coun try. Thoso of llio former opinion nro most ly of a superstitious turn, nnd belicvo that this sulphur is sent ns a warning for us to turn from our wicked ways, nnd hereafter walk more circumspectly. They say that the sulphur was found in the greatest quan titles in front of tho doors of the unrighteous, especially keepers of saloons, They scout tho idea that it is pollen, and ask where so much of that artlclccnulilconio iroui. liicse people, with blanched faces, asked each othe' If tills was nn union that tho world was coming to nn end in tho near future. The savants of tills region havo been pay ing particular attention to tliis matter since it fell, and many opinions are olfered ns to hat it really is. Dr. Traill Green, Profes sor of Chemistry In Lafayette College, Bctli- hoin, writes as follows in rcferenco to tho lower sf sulphur: "It is not surprising that tho yellow substanco 'observed on tho snow f Monday was supposed by many persons be sulphur. It certainly resembled it very iich. Those who had never observed it before, nnd lind never read a description of it, may be surprised when they ore inform- d that tho yellow which lliey saw was made up of beautiful little plants well known to aturalists, belonging to a great class of the vegclablo kingdom, Alga, somcofwhich ex ceed in length our tallest trees, wiiilo others re so small ns to bo invisiblo to the linked cyo except when collected in masses, os is the cose with the little plant which came to in our late Enow storm. Many were pleased to see tho 'yellow snow' resolved by the microscopo Into boautilul oval bodies, to observe them enlarged midway between tho terminal points, nnd then sco them divide nd becoino two, multiplying by self-divis ion, 'tins little plan, carries on the various functions which aro observed in higher plants, such ns collecting mid digesting its food, secreting n peculiar fluid with which tho cell is filled, ami (icrforiiiing nil the nets which belong too living organism. No one who sees it with the help of a microscopo would ever imagine, that it is brimstone, or ny other inorganic substance. It belongs to the botanical genus Frotococct's, or "sim plcst plants," The ProtococcuH JYiWi'?, or red snow," was observed by Saussuro cn the lira van in 17C0, nud on St. Bernard : in 1778 by Capt. Ross in Baffin's Bay, and by Parry and Franklin in their northern voyages. Pliny also speaks of it, nnd cle- criljes tho red color to the ago of the snow but he did not see tho red culor in the microscopic field, and, It may be, had only heard of it. This species may leniuin in stalo of dormant vitality for many years' It is in this stalo that the little plants aro walled nbout in atmospheric currents, and being brought down by tho rain into pools, istcrns, etc., they may present themselves whore nouo have been previously known to ixist, and there, under favorable circum stances, they may undergo a very rapid multiplication. So with the "winter spores' which we liuvejiist sees." Dr. P. M. Zieglcr, of Reading, Dr. S. B Envin of Mauch Chunk, and other scientific men hcicubouts, agree on this subject, and give the same explanation ofthe phenomeu on. Many of our people tried various cx iierimcnts on the substance. Tliev found it n bo without tastoor smell, nud when light oil witli a match would burn readily, and wns of a sticky, greasy nature. Uuall. Tho extreme cold winter, just ast, has been ery severe on this splendid game bird. Wo havo heard of several instances. where wholo Hindis have been found I'liizci nnd uf others destroyed by hawks. Soine- th. n 4 over u IiUmlied and forty of these birds wero trapped in this vicinity, in early winter, wero cared fnr-in a cnmloi table uvi- airy, under direction of Mr. L. E. Wills nt tho Emery Wheel Company, and will bo let ut on the difl'crent farms in u few days, It is liiqieil the farmers will appreciate the cirorts of tho men who, nt considerable cx euse and much trouble, saved to them this number of birds. This was done by men who nre honestly Interested in game liunt- ing, in its season, ns u legitimate sport And on this subject, we oiler a suggestion to our farmers The true sportsman is not nu enemy to game, on the olher hand ho i its best friend. If mischievous persons shoot game out of season, nnd it comes to his cars, he voluntarily gives both lime and money to prosecute Iho offender b the bitter end under Iho provisions of the law for the pro tection of gmie. It is not ho who makes these birds scarco. It is cxtremo winters like the ono just iast, nnd tho"pot Jiuuteis," so-culled, that lay in wait for them in cer tain places, and when bunched nnd basking in the sun, shoot Iho whole family und sell them for five cents each. It is these mis chicvlous hunters, ulto, and not tho true simrtsman, who tears down the farmers' fences ami stone walls for rabbits. It i hnjwil the farmers In tho future will earn est ly co-nporato with tho sportsmen in pro tecting tho quail in tills vicinity.

I laid down on my bod ; consisting ora straw tick, a straw pillow and a woolen blanket, ex amining tho walls or tho gloomy coll. I was In misery to think ol serving two long years In such a place, but I soon round employment for both my hands nnd mind ; I went to paint ing broom handles or rather striping nnd varnishing Ihem, for mytasklnday.tluie,nnd lu the evenings I did carving, such as canes and ornaments ror furniture ; tho carving 1 dono for myself, which soon gave me tho means to buy tools to make brackets, fancy sewing boxes, &c. Then 1 could koep myself In tobacco nr.d coal oil, and I also supplied myself with reading matter to take up my leNuro time. I was then fixed so that tho time began to grow short, and at tho present time It Is rolling. Dut, Harry, tho timo which I havo served In the tombs will bo easily noticed on me not alono the time, but worrying over my past life. To think that a young man of thirty has a record ortcn years or drunken lire! How often I havo tried to savo injsclf! how olten I havo wished I could quit Iho ratal cup and savo my family and Irlends I Dut I wns too weak, I could not resist I I oltcn pledged mjselfto quit for nyoar, but I could never keep It over a week or ten day, then I would get so dry that 1 would toko ono and soon another would follow, nnd tho first thing I would know I wouldn't know anything, and Tick rnysejf up somewhere down over a bank or out ora gutter or mud hole, feeling myself all over to sco whether I wns all there yet, and wondering how I got there, nnd likely that same day I woul 1 get drunk again, and waste both timo and money. Oh I If I knew that I should fall again and become a drunkard, 1 would rathtr stay here in this prison all my life, rather than to fill a drunkard's (crave I I will close by Informing you of my good health, hoping that I may remain so until the loth or August, when ay time will cxplre.and I will pay you a visit.

IXcasioKAl Ten Venn Ago nnd Now. A score of years ngo, soys a Wllkeibarre correspondent, the wealth of this city was proverbial farms that had been only Indif ferently producttvo wero found toboundcr laid with deposits of coaT, and the ncrcs In creased in vnluo from tens to thousands. As development went, speculation began, nnd real values were magnified a hundred fold, until the value of Wyoming Volley could hardly liaveboen reckoned greater had it been overlaid with gold. Tho war that g.ivo fictitious values to many things gave fictitious values io coal lands and city lots, nnd real estate of every description rose to prodigious prices. Companies wcro formed, savings were invested, nud in the popular mind the Midas touch wns everywhere. Combinations of railway companies and coal companies were formed, and Ihcro was a heyday for money making. In thoso times miners who earned $J a day were not thought to bo particularly prosperous, and money being plenty they wcro Improvident and careless. Ofcoursc the shock of coming back to nn honest and intrinsic basis was in evitable, and it has come. No stronger contrast could bo furnished to tho student ol political economy than tho siluatiou hero if 'CO and that of the present. In the days of Wilkcsbnrre's prosperity residences were eroded in the town to which tho adjective palatial was correctly applica ble. Life was at its flood tide, and extrava gance of living was tho rule. Men reckoned heir future Income on the basis of except ional prosperity, and when there was a re turn to the ordinary and legltlmato course of business, failures wcro inevitable. One foituno crumbled with tho ruin of another. One doc3 not need a very long memory to recall tho failures of Bennett, Phelps X Co., II. Swoycr, Thomos Brodcrick & Co., and others who havo figured in the bankrupt list. Tho reaction is terrible; houses that cost $100,000 cannot find purchasers at $30,000, and men havo sold real estate for half its cost, becauso of their inability to pay the taxes. To add to the distress, or ruthcr,pei haps, an equal cause of it, the coal compan ies have lost their heads lu vain competi tion, and mines could not bo worked with profit at such prices as tho coal rings have mado imperative. A. wholo mining popu lation has been kept at starvation wages, while various .combinations of capitalists havo been fighting for monopolies. Dissat isfaction nnd riot have been tho result on tho part of tho laborers, loss ou tho part of the owners, and tho country nt largo has gained less in the low prices than it lias lost in tho waste of a valuable product. Mr. T. W. Williams, Mine Inspector for tho Middle District of Luzerne nnd Carbon Counties, informs us that every ton of coal mined last year was sold nt a loss of a dollar per ton ; thus showing a loss in round num bers $20,000,000 to an area containing 200, 000 inhabitants, being an average loss uf $100 to every jwrsonj for theso losses must como home directly or indirectly to nil who find livelihood hereabouts. This loss is ru nous to mine owners and lessees, who mine os little coal os they posssbly can and keep their working forces on the ground. It is nn exceptional thing to find a mine worked more than three-quarters time, even with n reduced forco of workmen. Out of fifty breakers eighteen nre idle. The working forco lias been reduced moro than 2,000 men in three years, and tho production of coal last yenr was reduced -1,0S2,372 tons from tho year previous. And yet witli oil this reduction of productive forces coal is still sold in tho market at a loss. Of course this stato of things cannot last, and there nre already signs ofu change. With the waking up of tho manufacturing industries of tho country there is tobeun increased demand for coal. The natural laws of trade must, in course of time, over power tho most powerful of tho companies, and tho great veins of supply will break through the dams of monopoly, and flow again in their legitimate channels to tho great ocean of demand. In the meanwhile the miners havo learn ed how to starve not chcci fully but with cjrscs on their lips and anger in their hearts. They denounce nil companies, owners, les sees, ngents and speculators, under tho gen eric namo of capital. They sco the abund ant coal, the wido market, on ono hand; nnd on the other they feci themselves hun gry and naked, while corporations undersell each oilier, in unwarrantable efforts lo get control of tho market. Men who sco their children huiigiy aro not likely to bo philos ophic. They are desperate. .Vlnlionlng Twinklings. The roads aro In a very bad condition throughout this section ofthe coun'ry.

The Conl Trades The anthracite coal trade stilt presents tho anomalous condition of bare mtrkels snd demand, accompanied with vory low prices, and, as If this peculiar position of affairs was not enough to furnish food for thought and speculation to all connected with or Interest ed in (he trade, tho public have been treat ed during the past pa:t week with the most doleful reports ofthe iuture nf the business, based upon statements which either have no foundation In fact, or, if true, havo but trif ling slgnficmcc. Among tiiceo rumors, very wido circulation has been given lo the state ment that the New York companies had determined lo Inaugurate a war ntralnst the Reading Railroad Company by retailing coal in Boston at very low figures, and by sending coal from New York to Philadelphia by canal. It is understood that the presi dents ofthe New York companies havo de nied the charge as against them, nnd it ap pears that the retail prices advertised by tho Boston dealers who are supposed to bo in the interest of tho New York companies aro but little, if any, lower than the present wholesale prices would justify, nnd, though an occasional boat load of New York coul may bo brought to Philadelphia out of bravado, every well-informed icrson knows that lo bring New York coals to Philadel phia would be quite as disastrous as to "carry tlicm to Newcastle." A prominent local coal journal, usually well Informed uxm tho subject ofthe trade, has given the following table as its estimate of tho output of the present year, and deprecates tho at tempt to forco so large a production upon the market : Pennsylvania Coal Company 2,000,000 tons Pennsylvania Itailraod 2,000,0011 " Del. Lack. Sc Western Railroad 3,000,000 " Delaware nnd Hudson Cunul. S'000,000 " Central New Jersey Ruilroad. 4100,000 " Lehigh Valley Railroad 6,000,0011 " Reading Railroad 3,000,000 " Total 27,000.000 " It can hardly be thought possible, however that so large an amount of coal call hi pro duced and transported. The following table shows the largest production ever made by each company: Comyanics. Year. Tonnage. Reading Railroad 1S77 G.SlL'ilM Lehigh Valley Railroad ...lb-77 4.44.7,881 Del. & llu.l. Canal 1875 2,SI3,220 Del. Lack, k West. R. R...1S7S 2,83.1,070 Central Railroad N. J 1877 2,837,500 Pennsylvania Railroad ....1875 1,772,710 Pennsylvania Coal 1873 1,420,377 Erie Railroad 1S75 S03.030 23,300,520 Tho aggregate of this very nearly corres ponds with the aggregate of tho largest total output of all the companies in the first and last half of any year, which was ns follows : First six months of 1877 0,800,104 Last six mouths or 1875 13,548,402 23,414,571 It may safely bo assumed, therefore, that about 23,000,000 tons is the limit of practic able production, and as the market will in nil probability take 21,000,000 of Ions this year, it will bo seen that a restriction of but about 10 per cent of tho maximum capacity would bring the production within rcacli of tho demand. iMgcr Monday.
