OUR MAN ABOTJr TOWN.
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

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.

Tho Countv 8uDerinteudeBcy.
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

Anthractta Coal Trade.
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.
