COAL, IRON, AND OlL. — This is the unpre tending title of a work just published by Benjamin Bannan, editor and proprietor of the Miners' Jour nal, Pottsville, Pa. The book is compiled and ed ited by himself and S. 11. Daddow, mining engi neer, and is the most practical and exhaustive treatise ou the subject that has come under our observation. The theories explaining the forma tion of coal and the generation of petroleum are somewhat novel, but appear to be based upon care ful observation and analog}'. We cannot hut agree with the evident belief of the authors of this treatise, that the formation of petroleum, if not of coal, is not altogether and wholly an event of the past, but that the process is still going on, al though perhaps not so rapidly as formerly. The description of the great coal and oil basins of this country will be found valuable and inter esting to the business man and general reader, while the statistics and information relative to these two great natural products, will arrest the attention of the practical man and the scholar. — The manufacture oi iron from the ore is treated in an eminently practical manner, making the work one of great value to mechanics and manufactur ers. W e shall take occasion to refer again to this treatise when time and space permit. The volume is one of eight hundred pages and contains over two hundred engravings with numer ous tables. It is a most valuable work, and one that deserves to be read by all intelligent men. r.c - UV'TIULTIA. iur years ana oiteii t "net* for Hie.

Sleighs have been running since, und people are trying to r persuade themselves that it is " good sleighing," though the dirt and snow are mixed up, the latter being so light that a sleigh goes through to the [ ground. However, let us be thankful for even this slight " run of sleighing." " MUGBY JUNCTION," Dickens' Christmas Story for 1866, is published complete in the 50th number of Every Saturday. As Mr. Dickens' con- I tribution to the story this year occupies a larger portion of the volume than usual, it is safe to pre dict that "Mugby Junction" will prove even more popular than any of its predecessors. The first four tales in the collection are from the pen of the inimitable " Boz.' These episodes are written in the author's happiest vein. The sketch entitled the " Barbox Brothers," is one of those delicious lessons which Dickens teaohes so admirably. No one can read it without strengthening his belief in human goodness. "Young Jackson," " Phcebe," and "Lamp," with his periodical " rounders," be come our personal friends immediately. "Little Pollv." the lost child, whose name is no t Trivits, is a conception as charming as anything in that marvellous series of novels which we are never j weary of perusing. The whimiscal description of the Refreshment Room, with the stale pas try, and poor Mr. Swift, will make "Mugby Junction " a j favorite stopping-place this year for many a de lighted reader. This Story appears in Every Sat j urday seven days previous to its appearance in | England. TICKNOB A FIELDS, Publishers, Boston. ffiaY The Rev. W. N. BARBER, (Universal- I ist,) will preach in the Court house, Towanda, i Dec. 23d, at 7 p. m. THE COUNTY HOUSE. —The commissioners named in the Act of Assembly to locate the county house reported in iavor of the farm of T. L. Bald win, Esq., near Tioga,price $13,000. A strong op position to this report was developed, and after a long and tedious hearing, during which much evi | dence pro and con was brought forward, the Court refused to confirm the purchase. The chief gronnds for this refusal were the great size of the farm and its liability to overflow in seasons of high water. The Commissioners then reported in favor of the Benjamin Austin farm.li miles southeast ol Wells boro. This report was accepted and confirmed.— The farm lies in Charleston, contains 180 acres of fine land, with a good 304x0 two-s'tory house, and suitable outbuildings. Price $7400. We suppose that the County House is a fixed fact.— Tioga Agi tator. BURNED TO DEATH.—A correspondent F rom Upper Lisle, says that on the sth ot November, a daughter of Henry Orton, seven years of age, went to the field where her father was burning logs.— Her clothing accidentally took fire, and before help could reach her, were burned entirely off. She lived but a few hours after the accident.— Bingham' ton Republican. ACCIDENT.— On Wednesday last, a man named Van Gorder fell from one of the piers of the Railroad Bridge, a distance of fifteen feet, striking his head and shoulders upon a pile of stone. He was picked up insensible, and Dr. Lyons, who was called,found upon examination that no bones were fractured. He is now in a fair way of recovery.— The only wonder is that it did not kill him instant ly.—Athens Republican. ten" The Presbyterian Church of Troy having been ably served by Rev. Samuel F. Colt, late of Pottsville, have with entire unanimity invi ted him to settle here, and he is expected to return with his family in the course of ten days or two weeks. Mr. Colt is favorably known in Bradford county as a pastor, and especially as originatoV and founder of the Collegiate Institute at Towanda. As chaplain of the 96th Pa. Volunteers, he serv ed through the McClellan campaign on the Peninsu la. As a Secretary of the General Assembly's Commit tee on Freedmen, with indefatigable exertions he organized that most beneficent mission on the Eastern field, from Baltimore to St. Augustine, Florida. Perhaps to Mr. Colt as a preacher,his most prec ious toils were those of last winter at Shamokin, Elysburg and Williamspoit, in which he was per mitted to welcome converts by scores and hun dreds. May "his bow abide in strength," and his coming bt> as happy for himself as we know it to be most acceptable to the citizens of Troy. Troy Gazette. REV. T. K. BEECHER. —The congregation of this reverned gentleman, in Elruira, says the Advertiser, have have granted him a six months' leave of absence, on account of failing health. Mr. Beecher left Elmba Tuesday evening for New York, intending to sail in the Brazilian steamer, for Rio Janeiro. It is understood that Mr. Beecher's brother, James, will occupy his pulpit during his abscence.— Elmira Gazette. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENTS. —We take the following notices from the Danville Intelligencer: SAD AND FATAL AFFAIR. —One day last week, an interesting child, aged about two years, daughter of Mr. Geo. W. Miles, in this place met its death under very distressing circumstances. During the momentary absence of its mother in an adjoining room, the infant crawled to a closet where a box of Concentrated Lye was Kept, and before it was no ticed, had swallowed a portion of this caustic salts. As soon as possible, Dr. tjimington was called, wfio applied what remedies he could to alleviate the lit tle suffer and to counteract the effect of the poison, but it was of no avail, it died on Saturday morning j last after two days of intense pain and suffering. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.— Some three weeks since a child of Mr. A. C. Russel, of this place, aged about forteen months, swallowed a shawl pin in length between two and three inches. The ef fect was to produce much pain and suffering. The pin, notwithstanding its length, worked through the passages of the intestines and was evacuated from the bowels. But the irritation from its pass age produced inllammation, which caused death 011 Sunday morning last. This was a very singular case. That a pin of the length stated should work its passage through the intestines, convoluted as they are, and that the child should live so long un der the circumstances.

And now 1 say to your again, as 1 nive belore,enlarge your Store, make it neat and commodious, and keep a good stock ol Boots and >hoes, and you shall be sustained. Most ol tbe people begin to feel a little above buying their boots and shoes at Dry Goods Stores ; it looks verdant and outlaudish. c do not ask to make y >ur goods if it is not convenient. The facilities in some other localities, where a better ch "ice of sto ik aud woikmen can be had, may be still better Aud you have always been in the business, and better understand this one point and im p rtant branch ol the Merchant's art, than those that deal in Silks and Muslins, and they, I believe, would be glad to let this business go where it belongs ; that they have done it heretofore to accomodate tne people ; I do believe it you would open a lirs -class Shoe Store the people wou Id not go to Dry G ods Stores to buy Shoes . any more than they would to Drug Stores for Oats. stop, stop 1 what are you talking aboutlias not any one the light to sell what be pie ivjs ?
