The Things our People Find Time to Talk About from Day to Day. Tho efforts of the scholars of our pub. lib schools were heartily and happily ap preciated Saturday evening by one of the largest audiences that ever filled School Hall, the largo and commodious room was literally "jammed full," from tho entrance to the footlights, and many were unwilling ly turned away with the soothing colisola Hon that tho entertainment would ba re peated Monday evening. An elaborate programmo had been arranged, which, through tho Indefatigable efforts of Prof. J. Morris lloberts and his corps of able assist ants, was rendered without n perceptible fault. Among tho special features of the evening's entertainment was a solo, "The Selfish Man," by Blanche Kramer; n dia logue, "Sober Second Thought," by Bessie Noll and Savllla Faust; n song, "For Goodness Sako Don't Say I Told You," rendered by Katie Hurling, won for the lltllo singer a well earned encore; "Frog Hollow Lyceum," by pupils of the Gram mar school, In which Miss Emma Seller characteristically declaimed on the fate of "poor Mr. Jones" and Miss Emma Miller expounded tho question of Woman's Bights, much to the discomfiture of the president of the society, Mr. John Lcr.tz, Jr., who In his efforts to keep order was peppered with paper balls by the members of the Lyceum the meeting adjourned amidst loud applause from the audience. At this juncture the curtain was rung down and the Lehighton orchestra ticaled Iheaudl dlence to a line musical selection. The bell rings, up goes the curtain, and sixteen pupils of the third primary school,of which Miss Emma Beber Is the teacher, march in order on the stage and perform 'My Doll', a school drill, with a correctness and precis ion of motion wonderful In scholars so young reflect Ing much credit on the teach cr; a dialogue, "The House that Jack Built," by Grace Peters and Willie Ilauk, was excellently rcndcrctl ;"LaughIngSong,' by pupils of tho Intermediate school, was loudly applauded, while the dialogue, "Hard of Hearing," by Irene Fenstcrmacher, Sal lie Gabel and Willie Hank, ended with a hearty laugh for the audience; "Johnny Schmoker," a song, by tho boys of the In tcrmedlate school, of which Miss Koons Is the teacher, n as characteristically rendered. In this Instance the teacher deserves much credit for the manner In which she trained her scholars to a precision of motion and correctness of expression which found their appreciation In the prolonged applause which lollowcd Its rendition; "Tho Un happy Editor," a dialogue by the pupils of the High school, abounded with many per- sonal!t)es,lnwh!ch the "Man AboutTown' and the Indefatigable Bob Sweeny were not forgotten, kept the audience in a continual roar of laughter as well as In a condition of unceitaln expectancy which only ended with the dropping of the curtain. By re quest Antlo Durllng sang with great feeling and effect the beautiful and heart-touehln song, "Is it Because Iain Nobody's Child." Tho entertainment concluded with a farce In two acts, entitle! "Hans Von Smash, by pupils of the High School. The ren dition was comical In the extreme and was well received. At tho room of tho Young Men's Christian Association Sunday afternoon. F. Pitrcn Lcntz, of Northampton-street, addressed a gathering of ladles and gentle men on the "Model Man." The speaker presented his Idea of the model man as found In Christ, saying that whilst none could emulate Him, It was In the power of all to live a life of honor, fidelity, purity and consistency. At the close of the meet ing It was announced Hint Bev. J. E. Free man, of Wei3Sport, would bo the speaker for next Sunday afternoon. 1 lie committees on arrangements for the first annual grand ball of the Lehigh Hook and Ladder Company, on thocvenlng ot tho 21st Instant, are sparing no effort in their endeavors to make It the event ot the season. Tlrt popular Depierro Orches tra, of Frcelaml, has been engaged at con siderable expense and will furnish music on tlie occasion. Those who dcllsht in skipping the light fantastic toe should bear tho above fact In mind: with the mystic charms of melody to woo light feet to tlie giddy whirl of the mazy waltz the hours will be danced In and out with pleasant de light and fatigue will be unknown. Our citizens should Hot fall to liberally patron ize tho Firemen's benefit. It devolves on them, In fact.to do so. Buy a tlckct,($1.00) and help tho "fire laddies" along. Thomas S.

En. Advocate: r'l was wy much pleased with last weWi's communication on he County Supcrintendency, as I think the writer lias a proper conception of the qual Ideations requisite for a competent and re liable superintendent. The otllce of Coun ty Superintendent Is certainly the most honorable and responsible position at tho disposal of our school directors and for them to Inform themselves on the compar ative merits of tho several candidates is but complying with a duty. I am a teach er, and as such, not privileged to vote, yet, I deem It my duty to express my unbiased opinion on tho fitness of the several candi dates; for, If by so doing, I should belli strilmenlal In a small wiy to assist In elect ing the best man, I have conferred a bless ing on Hie seven thousand children In Car bon county u ho to-day are looking to our public schools for tlielr preparation for life. I most heartily endorse Teacher No. 2's selection for tho Siipennlemlency, for I truly believe J. L. Poltelger. of Weathetly, would make a good and live Superintend ent, lie certainly has made the necessary preparations forteaehlng.aud hehas served n long apprenticeship for the Supcrintend ency. Prof. Pottelger Is a modest and Unas sinning man and teacher, and not a, m'.v dm: of Kcionsii wrapped upln broadcloth. Tlie profession of teaching has within Its ranks tome of the xow.nst minds In tho country, and it would be very singular If wo had to resort to the profession of law for a superintendent. Let the law take rare of Its own votaries. I rrnlli- imu m directors may see lit to place at tho head of our scuoois a live teacher ami not a law yer. TltActiKU Xo. 3.

Tho anthracite trade Is less active than it has been for some weeks past and tho de mand for coal is loss urgent. Price for some sizes and grades are consequently be ing shaded slightly. There is little coal be ing shipped from PortBlrhmondexceptinc that going Eastwatd on the. Beading Com pany's steam colliers. The questions of spring prices and tolls for anthracite coal have begun to be discussed by the trade. We understand that sotuo operators faior a continuance of the present prices, while others favor a reduction, It being the old custom of tho'tradeto make "spring prices" an Inducement for purchasers to lay In their fall and winter supply of coal onily In the season. 1 his old custom has enabled the transporting companies to more advantage ously handle their coal in the mora busy- season ot the year. It is believed that tho suring tolls may bo made cheaper, at least the lino and city rates, which have been entirely too High for many years past. Ves sel freights remain uncharged, with few schooners offering their masters being un willing to take tho risks Incidental to navi gation at this season.- The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending February 5, as reported by the tho several carrying companies, was 018,037 tons, compared ivitli ri24,0II tons In tho corresponding week last year, an increase of ret.ipn tun. tlio total amount of anthracite mined thus far In the year 1SS7 Is 2,007,084 tons, cam pared with 2.844,571 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of M7,4S7.
