The Anthracite Coal Trade.
The anthracite coal trade presents no new
feature to note this weak. Tho output of
anthracite thus far this year to date 5 1-2
in II I ion tons is about equal to the quantity
of coal marketed during the corresponding
period of last year. The Lehigh and
Schuylkill Navigation Companies have be-
im to make preparations for the opening
of their canals, and their coal shipping
pockets are being put in good condition,
canal boats are undergoing repairs, and a
number of large new boats are being built
by shippers in anticipation of increased
business this season. The wheels of Indus
try are humming in every direction through
theSehujlklll and Lehigh valleys, and near
ly every iron furnace in both regions is in
full blast, many of them having largely
increased their capacity for production. At
several of the principal lines alonir the
Philadelphia Schuylkill Valley and Reading
Railroads and the Lehigh Valley nnd Le
high and Susquehanna Railroads various
elases of Industries new to these sections of
the country are sin limine: im. and cive
jood promise of growing In Importance.
These matters ate all indications for a proli
table year for the nmhiaclte interest and of
an increased production of coal to be uiaik
eted at comparatively much better pilccs
than those ruling for several years past.

A Former Mauch Chunk Boy Oono Astray,
In 1870 Edgar Thomson, a nephew of
George W. Twining, a respected citizen of
Mauch Chunk, secured a situation in the
office of the L.fc S. R. R. Co., at Allen
town. The young man being handsome,
well-connected and of pleaslngaddicss soon
gained a footing in the best society there.
Although the handsome young clerk only
received a salary of $30 per month he man
aged to live most luxuriously. As time
passed by ho won favor In tho eyes of Miss
Editli Shook, the bright and accomplished
daughter of a wealthy confectioner. Not
long slnoc Miss Edith becamo Mrs. Edgar
Thomson, the wedding was a great social
happening and the croom's gift to the bride
was a $300 diamond necklace. They lived
together most happily and apparently
Thomson was prospeilng by shrewd com
mission transactions in lime, brick and
lumber. . However, last Monday father-in-law
Shock received word from Mr, Twining
that Thomson had almost ruined hlinj just
exactly how reluctant friends will not say,
and tho affair Is veiled ill gloom. Thom
son left Allentown a week ago for New York j
since which timo he has not been heard
from. At latest accounts Mr. Twining will
not prosecute his nephew. It Is said that
his defalcation's will foot up $30,000.
A Card from Miss Mr or.
The entertainments for the benefit of the
M. E. church, passed off successfully on
Saturday and Mohday evenings, March 5th
and 7th. We thank the public for their
generous patronage and wisli to express
our gratitude to all those who so kindly as
sisted us in H10 entertainment, especially
to tho "Oldo Folkes," who, together with
their organist, rendered such pleasing and
satisfactory service; nnd to our friends lu
"The Elevator," whoso patience and per
severance enabled them to perform a diffi
cult dialogue in a very acceptable manner.
Nordoivo forget tho members of the Or
chestra, who are always willing to do their
part In our "homo entertainments," and
by their spirited music add greatly to the
enjoyment of tho occasion. Our school
children, too, did nobly for us at this time.
They were piompt at ichearsals and "the
boys" were always on hand to help on with
the work of preparation. We appreciate
their patient and persistent efforts, as also
the kindness of the editor, who repeatedly
called attention to our entertainment in Hie
columns of his paper, and ot those ef our
friends who loaned us needed articles, or
who In any way contributed to the interest
and success of tho occasion.

An Uncle Tom's Cabin Company .gave
mi entertainment In School Hall Thursday
night of last week. Probably had Harriet
Uecclicr Stow 0 been Indo ivcd with, tho super
natural power of seeing what the fulutu
had in store for her famous "Unoln Tom's
Cabin" story she would have hesitated, 'ere
she wcaved In thrilling chapters tho tulo
of slavery and Its fearful sufferings. The
play Thursday evening abounded with
criorsam) was an abortion upon the original
drama. About ono bundled ami fifty
people were kept In good humor, however,
by the orlgnallty of Marks, the lawyer, and
Gumption Cute, tho speculative Ynnkcc.
The company, probably, made expenses.

At one timo I had no less (ban thirteen largo
abscesses over nnd around my ncokand throat,
continually exuding an cflcpslva mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, ami
almost Intolerable to enduro, It Is Jifipnst.lbio
lo fully dcscrlbo my suffering), at tpo emu
was complicated with Chronlo Catarrh, Aflef
thrco years of misery, having been trcajpU by
thrco physicians, I was worso than ever.
Finally, pn tho recommendation of W. J,
nnnllcy, druggist, of Ixickport, I was Induced
to try Jlood's Sarsaparllla. And now, after
having taken twelye bottles, within tho last
twelve months, tho scrofulous oruptlons havo
eiitlicly ceased, nrcl tho abscesses havo nil
disappeared, except tho unsightly scars.whlcli
