The demand for pea coal Is reported to be largely In excess of the supply, and "spot" cargoes command good prices. Since the, Improvement in iron manufactur ing began tills year there has been less necessity in rebreaking tho large size of antliracito coal, and that fact, together with the Improved demand and compara tively short supply of bituminous coal has materially strongtheiied the prices for tho steam sizes of anthracite roal.

On all sides wo lirar commended tho recent action of our town council In exon crating from the payment of taxes for n ycrlod of ten years tho Hcrsh Manufactur ing Company, who we bcllovo purnoso lo cating hero with their works. Wo aro pleated to nolo this action on thu part of tho gentlemen composing our town council, it shows an enterprising and goahcadlve propensity which our taxpayers cannot help but commend. Tho time Is coming when Lelilgliton pcoplo must look elsewhere for support than to tho busy hives of In dustry at Packerton, and if they wish to make permanent homes hero they must en- courago Industries of various natures to locate in the town, whereby the hundreds of workmen, who othcrwlso must bo Idle, will find employment. No other town In the State of Pennsylvania offers belter facilities than this borough, and It Is sin cerely hoped that tho present bright pros pect Is only a forerunner of tho facts that aro to follow. ' Wo spent a ycry pleasant evening at tho Y. M. C. A. headquarters in Kemcrcr's Hall, on tho corner of Bank and South streets, lastweek. Upon entering tho largo room wo wero somewhat struck, by the cosy and pleasant picture before us a room well lighted aud heated, a large table In tho centre of the room upon which Is a num ber of choice, books bv the best authors. nrouhd'tho table wero' seated a- iloui or more of the coming men of our town;' busy pouring over yolmnos of forgotten lore.' The projectors of tho association deserve the praise of the community for the suc cessful manner In which they are conduct iug tho affairs of tho order. Tlie amount of good to be done by this association Is in. calcuable, and we hope that all our young men will nut their shoulders to the wiiecl and see how much good they can do In their capacity as members of tho Young Men's Christian Association. By tho tlmo this Issue of tho Advo- cati: readies the homes of many of Its readers tho Christmas turkeys and ducks will have been considerably disfigured, the mince pies and plum puddings will have disappeared, and e cry thing generally will have been cleared out and well digested aud another "Merry Christmas" will bo numbered with the past. Our business places have put on a holiday appearance and are mostly kept booming In supplying Santa Clans wltli all the nice and choice things likely to tickle tlie fancy of young, middle-aged and old. Tho "Man About Town" wishes all a Merry Christmas, and In order to be on time, a happy and pros perous Now Year. Several marriages will come off In this place on Christmas day whereby liearts which havo long palpitated for each other will merger Into one. We extend to the young couples our happy congratulations, wishing for them all tho happiness and bliss that can possibly fall to human crea tures. With tho beginning of 18S7 wc are to have, a Board of Trade. This is another "advance in tho way of progression. Well, let "or flicker; we can stand It.

As wo remarked before, not another town In the State presents better facilities to tlie manufacturer than Lelilgli ton, and we believe It is only a question of tinio ere tlieso opportunities will be taken advantage of by manufacturers and wo uill find ourselves becoming citizens of one of the most busy towns In tho Lehigh Valley. The Lehigh Hook aud Ladder Com pany have about settled up the accounts accrued by tho presentation of "Meg's Di version" to the people of Lelilgliton and vicinity, and havo on hand a balance of $'51.00.

Speaking thusly, reminds us that the J. O. U. A. M. wero to have had a benefit of somo kind. What has become of It? Tho "Man About Town" has had tho above query propounded to him quite fre quently of lato but cai give his questioners no satisfaction. They did havo the Clymcr Family but mum.

Professional thieves and pickpockets from the large Eastern and Western cities who make an annual trip through tho country towns and valleys nearly always succeed In victimiz ing the unsuspecllnc fanner. Authentic letalls of a well arranged swindle of this kind have just como to light from Deltz vllle, ten miles from here, where a profes sional shark passed himself off as the miss ing son of the wealthiest farmer lntlro'vaI- ley and duped him out of $5,000 Inoash. Deltzvllle, tho scene of thcswlndle, Is an Isolated little farming town, made up of i dozen or more farmhouses, and derives Its name from the oldest resident of the place. Jostah Deltz, who settled there twenty eight years ago. The family formerly con sisted of Farmer Deltz, his wife and one son. Tho son quite young showed his dis like for farm life and repeatedly threatened to leave home unless given tho consent of his parents to earn ids own living in the larger towns and cities. No parental ad vice served to allay young Joss' determina tion to go, and almost eleven years ago lie left to do for himself. Nothing was heard of him for nearly flvo years, when a letter from New York was received by his parents stating that he was well and about to start for the West. The mother was deeply af fected over her son's conduct, but the father, a very rcsoluto man, was Inclined to glvo him his own way and under no cir cumstances ask him to return. A HAPPY ItKU.MON'. The memory of tho wayward boy had al most died out, all hope of his returrillSd gone. Last Sunday, however, a fashionably dressed young man suddenly dropped Into Deitzvillo and inquired If Farmor Deltz was still a resident of the neighborhood. Receiving an nnswer in the affirmative, the young stranger apr-oarcd at tho Delfz house and Introduced himself to tho old couple as their long lost son. The fanner, with tears In his eyes, received the young man, whllo Mrs. Deltz was greatly overcome with emotion. Joss' long absence from home, his wanderings, Ac, wero discussed by the trio tho .whole day long. During the evening Jo3s surprised his father and mother by stating that ho was on his wed ding till) and that his brldo would bo thero the next day. Meanwhile tho old fanner went over tho past, hiding nothing from his son. He even went so far as to say that although ho had met with reverses he had managed to savo a good sum of money, and Insisted that Joss ar.d his brldo should en joy the hospitality of his homo either ljer manently or as long as they chose, to romaln. Young Joss, however, showed an aversion to meeting any of his old friends or m ijh bors or to subject himself to a critical In spection. "jlltlNOINfl HOME THE 11KII1K. A day later he started to meet his bride. After several hours lie returned with his supposed wife, and tho old farmhouse which had been a place of mourning for years on account of Joss' absence, was now a sccno of joy. A room was especially ar ranged for tho comfort of the young couple and as night approached the brldo feigned fatigue on account of her long journey and they retired for tho night. Tho farmer and his wife, well advanced In years, also retired, and wero soon fast asleep. Tho young couple, however, had laid their plans, and during tho night quietly decamped with tho little, tin box, containing about $5,000 In cash. The old couple arose at seven o'clock tho noxt morning, but knew nothing of what had happened during the night until Farmer Deitz went to tho guests' room and was shocked to find it empty, A. small note lay on the table and read as fol lows : Dkah Fatiieii Goodby for seventeen years more. "Jom:." TIIYINO TO KEEP IT QUIET, The old couple wero completely over whelmed with grief, not for tho loss of the money, but for their son's' tngratltude, as at first thev lllvl H, ii.t-r ii,ir son. The swindle U not geiictally known !o '"fiS'lSSS Neither Farmer Deltz nor his wife bellcvo How that ho was their son. Tho opinion prevails that It was a' professional thief, who cither knew the farmer's circumstances or was a companion of Ids son, from whom ho got tho necessary Information to success fully dupe tho old man. Deltz Is only one ef a number of farmers In this yalley who have been victimized by the sharks who make an annual visit among them from tho principal cities. lilt of Jurors Drawn to serve at the .January term ot our Coulr ty Court! nnasn .luuoiis.

"SOfi. nnvmv, Tho events recorded in tlio lessons of this quarter form a narrativo f nrpasslng Interest lo the human family. The whole world h iMcrestvd. The first lesson tells us tires tory of Christ's betrayal in the garden h Judas Iscanot. The story is familiar to all, mid will never bo forgotten. We seo Chrlrt standing amongft His disciples nnd giving Himself up to the crowd which had come out to take Him prisoner. Ho goes before Pilate, and passes through a scries of 'ex animation and exposed to -the Insults am' contumely of the soldiers and mob. Wo note tho fall of Peter mill his awful denial of his Master. Judas gOci out and hangs him self. Pilate, unable lo savo Him from death, through apparently anxious lo do so, at Inst delivers Him up to bo crucified. Wo hear tlio angry and exultant cries of the peoplcas their blind hatred is vitiorloiunnd the King of tlie Jews becomes their victim. Ho takes the cross upon Ills shoulders and shirts on His weary way to Gilvnry's height He is nailed to the cross, and' placed between two thieves, and is crucified. The universe bore testimony to Ills Divinity and-, the marvelous manifestations of tlio hour attested Ills Godhead. n 1 , On the following Sunday His friends .gonght His grave, and found that tl Saviour had risen from tlio dead. Though the grave had been securely scaled and carefully guarded, yet He hud left Its narrow bounds. The stone was rolled away, and only a pile of grove clothes gave evidence of His having been there. AVhile Mary stood at the opened tomb Christ appeared to her, aim tent lief lo prencli His resuircction to the disciples. Observed, thut a Woman receives this commission from tlio Master, who thus honors her ecx Jesus appears to His disciples 111 an upper room, and afterwards appears to them when doubting Thomas is prct-ent, and con vinccs him that He is indeed tho Christ. Un tlie shore of balilee He appears to some of His disciples who wore fishing. He tells them howto secure a large draught of fishes, and when they come to shoro, preceded by the irrepressible Peter, lie asks tlicm to dmo with Him. Then IIo asks Peter tho triple question as to Iiis love for Him, and gives him the threefold command. Thrice in tho judgment hall Peter denied his Matter; three times on the Bhoresof Galileo he confessed tho Christ. After a scries of lessons of such thrilling import It is fitting tiiat wo should consider John's licautiul description of Christ ns tlio Light of the world, with all tho blossings tiiat such Light confers. Then we come to tlio marvelous and splendid rccllal of John contained in the Revelation Its wondrous visions and majestic descriptions and thrilling silnations. We t-ec the vinion of Christ, full of glory nnd power. When no ono in heaven or earth or under the earth is competent to opeU tlie Uiok which John saw, ho is told that there is only One who can undeitako it, and that Ono is the slain Lamb ; the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Christ. Before Him tiio hosts of Heaven fall down and worship mid offer to Him ascriptions of thanksgiving and praise. The Revelation, at its close, gives a beau tiful invitation to tho human race to come to Jesus and find in Him n full satisfaction, a free pardon, a complete salvatiom ''Who soever will," can come to Jesus and besaved O, that all men might hear the invitation and accieptto thoir eternal salvation. The County Snporlntortdencv of Eobools. Mil. Editor: The Teachers' Institute recently held at Mauch Chunk developed tho fact that there are a number ot candidates who aspire to tho ofllce of County Superintendent. Since theio will be mi election for a County Superintendent next May or June, this Is the proper tnuo to discuss tho merits and availability of a proper person tor that Important position. Tlie County Siijieillitendency should be entire ly divorced from all questions of politics and re ligion. Wo should Jealously guard tills position that It may not become a nolltleal ofllce, and wo should supjioit 110 uian who Is put foiward as the representative of any nolltleal faction or nartv. The dignity ol the ofllce; llio nature of Its func tions; its elllclency for good and usefulness; lis Influence on the young; the good of society at large, all demand that 110 man should be elected to this onice who is put forward by any jiolltlcal Influence. Wo a;o required bv law to teach tho eUccts of alcohol nnd narcotics 011 tho human srstem. ir our work hi this direction shall be a success, wc should havo a County Superintendent who Is the embodiment ol these principles, and who has done nothing to weaken his Influence In this Im portant study. We should try and seciiro the best material avallablo for this (tosltlou, that our schools may be kept up with thu times; that the teachers of the county may bo properly resected; and that tho Educational Influence On public sentiment may be elleetlve. Mr. Heydt, principal of tho E. Mauch Chunk Schools, has undoubtedly enjoyed superior edu cational iiihautages. He Is a graduate of ono of our best Normal Schools, and also ot Lafajctto College; besides this he has been studying and reading a great deal since his graduation, He is no stranger in this county, he has been teach ing at different times In this county for thu last seven or eight years; and, if ho can be Induced to become a candidate for tho County Superin tending, he should ho unanimously elected, be cause ho Is eminently qualified tor the position.
