Af the law of tho skull show ed a mining (colli, it agreed with David Morgans, who also had a tooth missing.

This brings it down verv close, and the supposition is that he must havo wandered to this gangway where he was teized with cnnvul'ioiis, which he wus aulijcct to, and lied.

This cause will also tend to maintain the demand at this port for coal, which continues brisk for all rites ex cepting broken and pea. In fact, the cold weather has given an impetus lo Ihe lino and city trade us well as to Ihe demand for the Easlword, and there are great com plaints of tbe scarcity or vessels and the high freights, which rule at $1.902 in to Boston. The opening of winter, in this as In other ways, repeats the old story. Delays are dangerous in shipping coal In Boston as Ihe year grows old, for it costs nearly twice Iowa.

The character ol the present demand for coal ulso renews" the experience we have often pointed out in the reylew of the coal trade. The Phila delphia conipMliei having Ihe better coal aro generally finding a. market for all their output, while the New York companies, under the influence of their over-supply ,aro still talking ol n week's suspension at the mines to reduce their stocks.

Mrs. Salome Winter, aged eighly-cii.ht years, who Inn been an inrnato of the Le high County Almshouse for tho last twenty- seven years and totally blind, while alono iu her room Monday alternoon nrcidenlally set her ch tlies on fire. By tho timo alarm of fire wus given tho room was rilled bv flames and her body so badly burned that death followed iu n short lime. Dr. J. D. Erdiuun, tho physician, wus culled and re lieved Ihe sufferer somewhat. By great exertions Ilia firo in tho building W03 ex tinguished before it reached the other buildings and Ihus prevented tho destruc tion of the institution, with its many hun dreds oflntnutes. Mr. W.

Scarcity of water is the cry. It wos feared that the fall oflt Inches in tho dam last week would interfere witb tho working of the furnaces.

Quite a large number of our citizens are employed at Puckerton, Weissport and Lehighton. Our friend Frank Dover had the mis fortune to lose some 15 Gne hogs this fall through tho prevailing epidemic. Toe dam here generally furnishes splendid skating. Last Saturday night a hugh bonfiro was bullion the ice, and witli the fitful glare ot tho flowing cinder on the banks, tbo flitting to and fro of tho merry skaters and their cheerful voices echoiug among the tall pines of the neighboring hills, formed quite an enlivening and ro mantic scene. It is really painful to see the agony that W. C. Weiss experiences to withstand Ihelmportuuitlesol his host of friends. One would suppose, from the disinterested cor respondent, from Weissport, that his life was really burdened by tbe oft repeated calls upon his services as a candidate for some office. It is not every man whoso door is besieged by some office or other. He seems to bo one who bus ''greatness thrust upon him." Ho is now being earnestly urged for the office of school director. Yet it seems there area few "low instinct" fel lows up that way who cause this reporter considerable anxiety. Jot. Mahoning Squibs.

The dogs had thrown her to the round, when neighbors came lo her rescue and droye them off. Surgical assistance was rendered the lady, who was greatly pros trated by the shock. From the appearance of Vick's Floral Guitk, which is on our desk, we should judge that Ihe young Vicks are "chips of (lie old block," as the Floral Guide with its lithographed cover is handsome enough for tho pa. lor table.
