fork-i U.,!,t. Hare Powcl. President; C.
I- Murp, dispatcher; D. R. Shorthill, eu
P-rinrcnient. This colliery was the firs'
o:"c"l in this section, and formerly the coal
an 1 ore was shipped to Tyrone by means of
"jfe' -ns. These works employ 220 men and
l-.'.vs, and average 250 tons per day; have
ffiiiifd 41.j ro.s tons in one day. In con
tiftiun with these works are tenements of
tapue'uy f,r 55 families ; a stable with 40
'alls, and a farm from which ail hay and
necessary for horses and cattle is cut.
The miners employed here own over oOgood
iiisleh cows, and average $00 per mouth per
'usu. Tlie mine is three-fourths of a mil
" length, with numerous branches and
c.a'uhers. The main Tein is three feet nine
i" -lie in thickness anl without slate. This
is the second' vein, and the company is open
ing up the "D" vein, which is two feet and
ten inches in thickness. During the past
'ix years the accidents at this colliery have
hteu comparatively few and unimportant.
One boy was killed ; one man, leg broke ;
b"y, arm broke, and boy had wrist broke.
As uual wiih companies of this character,
tnere is a large compauy store under th3
immediate management of Mr. .
Th coal mined here is of superior quality,
and the management U most excellent. In
and about the works are nine mules, two
horses and forty mining wagons.
Between Powelton and Oaceola,

have a splendid steam sawmill, with capaci
ty for cutting 7,000,000 feet of lumber per
year. The company employ 30 men. The
mill is located on Trout run, and a trainway
is laid from mill to main line of T. and C.

main line, which is well filled with lumber
aud lath.
A few moments run, and the lumber
city of
OSCEOLA
bursts into view, well covering a sloping
hill with substantial and newly built dwel
lings. Osceola enterprise is proverbial.
Her citizens are progressive, energetic, un
dismayed, and think, talk and act as though
the buildiug up. of the Commonwealth's
metropolitan centre, was a matter pertinent
to them. At this point the heavy coal
trains to the summit, are made up, and,
as at the summit, we here found a squad
of engines spitting and snorting just as if
they knew the Superintendent was along
and didu't know that thty were there. It
requires four engines to boost a train to the
summit, and it takes a blamed good one to
handle it going down. At this point, a new
road bed has been laid from the main line
to Oiceola, aud the old tressel work discar
ded. The grade over the trestle was "on
pleasaut," as the branch connected with the
main line, and a new road bed, without
trestle work was found necessary. The new
road is one mile in L-ngth, aa l strikes the
main road one half mile below tho intersec
tion of the, old trestle branch. Crossing to
Osceola, wc come to the Moshannon, over
which a magnificent pile bridge, 600 feet in
length, reaches to the Clearfield County
Company's works. The old bridge leading
to 'his company's operations was recently
destroyed, but the new bridge one of the
finest pile bridges we ever saw will not
only much better accomm idate the Clear
field company's new mines, but also those
which may be subsequently opened adjacent.
The Clearfield company will have the shute
to the new branch completed within a few
days.
Osceola lias about 1,000 inhabitants; has
substantial Presbyterian and Catholic
churches, and a fine Methodist Episcopal
church is under construction. There are
five good stores here-, and two excellent
schools. We may as well state that the
Clearfield Coal Company, at this point, of
which Mr. Sanford II. Wallace is Superin
tendent, is not in operation at present, ow
ing to the changes we have noted above.
When in Operation tlie company employ
about 50 men, and mine so mi 140 tons of
ccal per day;
At Osceola, we went up the Moshannon
branch road. This line is being thoroughly
repaired ; the old hemlock ties which have
served four years arc being superseded by
oak, an 1 the road is being newly ballasted.
A short distauco up the Moshannon branch
we come to Coal run, up which, not far,
Taylor has a small circular saw mill. The
Decatur branch up Coal run has been aban
doned. The
MOSHANNON COAL BANK,
three miles from Osceola, is operated by the
Mo-haunou Coal Company, of Philadelphia.
The entire length of the Moshannon branch
is thickly lined with splendid hemlock tiiu
ber, a deal of which is being cut aud bark
stripped off. The Moshannon Coal Bank

This mine was opened in the spring of 1S65,
an l, having a capacity for mining 300 tons,
has averaged 200 tons per day, and gives
employment to 50 men and boys. Seven
mules and 30 coal cars are employed. Con
nected with the colliery, and dependent up
on it for support, are 20 families, occupyinc
10 tenements. The veiu operated, is a mid
dle six feet strata, without slate, and with
good veins above and below. We saw here
one of the largest lumps of coal ever mined
along the Clearfield road or branches, it
weighing 3,200 pounds. The accidents at
this mine since its opening have resulted in
the death of three miners, and the breaking
of a few odd legs and anus. This company
comprises men of enterprise and tact, and
the works, under the skilful management of
Superintendent Kinch, may be reckoned
among the best in the Clearfield coal region,
The Sour Lake In Texas. One of the
singular phenomena of the South is known
as the Sour lake, and is situated about 60
miles from Houston, Texas, in a low, wet
prairie country, but itself on quite high
ground, and surrouuded by a fine little for
est. The lake is but a few rods in diame
ter, and its waiera are so sour that it is al
most iaiDossibleto drink them. A number
of wells have been dug in the immediate vi
cinity, and the water in these contain iron,
alum, magnesia aud sulphuric acid. Large
numbersof people go there from the South
to bathe iu the lake, and dtiuk waters of
the wells. The effects of the baths are se
dative ; and persons who have not slept
comfortable for weeks, after taking a bath
in the lake in the evening, enjoy a refresh
ing night's rest. The water, after drinking
a few glasses, becomes more pleasant to
the taste, and may be bottled and put in
wooden casks, without loosing its strength.
The soil is so strongly impregnated with
the same qualities as the water, that if the
raud is dissolved in pure water, and a litMe
soda or salaratus put in it, will foam and
effersvesce, and will be as sour as lemonade.
Tor You If it Fits You.
"The time are getting worse and worse
every day.
What then, my dear sir? Will it do any
fOM to draw your face up into ten thousand
wrinkles, and vent the bitterness of your
spirit upon all with whom you come in con
tact, on the strength of the above-mentioned
fact?
Suppose you had to walk barefoot over a
road thickly strewn with thorns, and sharp
flinty stones. What would you do? Go
aside out of the way to tread on every stray
thorn aud pebble, instead of carefully avoid
ing every needless hurt by picking your way
wearily through theiu ? Which course will
you choose now 7
Will you snap yonr wife up at the break
fast table when he asks Jott for a "little
change ?" Would you suggest to her the
probability of your all going to ruin in a short
time thro' the prodigal outlays made for
households needs, and then throw the mon
ey across the tsble as you'd throw a bone
to a dog? You know very well that her de
mand is perfectly reasonable ; and you know,
too, that you would be just as much offended
as you are now if she did uof. 'ask you for
money for household expenses when it is
needed ; tut you are not willing to miss the
opportunity of selfishly venting your un
pleasant feelings on this convenient domes
tic scapegoat.
And if sbeshould (wonderful to think of I)
pluck up enough courage to ask you for mon
ey to buy a new dress though it may be only
six months since she committed this mortal
sin don't ask her ironically if she thinks a
thousand dollars will do her this time, or
make some cutting remark about her ruin
ous extravagance and the slave life that you
lead ; but if you can afford it give her the
money cheerfully and a kiss into the bargain.
But if you really feel too poor to indulge
yourself in the pleasure of seeing your wife
in a new dress for the first time in six
months, give her the kiss anyhow and ex
plain the matter kindly to her.and the kind
explanation will go nearly all the way toward
making her forget the disappointment.
And, above all, don't bring your business
home at night with you. Don't sit in soli
tary misanthropy, or snail and poke the fire.
Your wife hasn't had a chance to talk with
you all day. She has a thousand little
cheering items to communicate, but while
you sit there looking so cold and repellaut,
eh haa nooourags to begin. - Your children
are eager for a game of rosps ; but they are
"afraid of papa," when he looks as he does
here to night ; so they congregate in a half
awed manner in tho corners, until it is
time to go to bed. No pleasant chat, no
merry laughter, no game at romps, no music
nothing but gloom and constraint, because
"father has come in a bad humor."
Iceberg! to behave so in tho bosom of
your family. To turn away from the pleas
ures and privileges still left you, because
you can't have everything just as you want
it 1 Think of the loving, clinging hearts that
your coldness shadows 'of the bright faces
over which your frown has cast a reflection
gloom. Are you not ashamed of yourself ?
Again, your burden may be so heavy that
you can not smile. But, oh ! be kind. Be
cause your own soul is dark, don't pierce
auother heart with a needless wound by
your coldness and sullenness. Because there
are somejiioms in your way, don't plant
other thorns in the path of another with
your own hand. If you cannot be cheerful,
be kind.

the United Stales, provided that property
is not contraband of war.
And I do further declare and proclaim,
that the statutes of the United States and
the law of nations alike requite that no per

indirectly in said war, but shall remain at
peace witn each of the said belligerents and
shall maintain a strict and impartial ncu

that while all persons may lawfully ar.d
without restriction, by reason of the afore
said state of war, manufacture and sell with

THE KIDNEYS:
Th Kidneys ar twain number, situated a th
upper part ot tb loin, surrounded by fat, aad
consisting of three parts, vis: th Anterior, th
Interior, and th Exterior.
Th anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a depeeit for th
Brine and convey it to th itrir, Th st
rier is a conductor also, terminating la a esagl
tube, and called the Ureter. Th ureter ar o
nected with the bladder.
Tb bladder is compoted of various eovwrlega
r tissues, divided into parte, vis: th tipper, th
Lower, tb Nervous, and th Mucous. Th pf r
expels, the lower retains. Many ha a deelr to
urinate without tb ability, others Brlaate with
out tb ability to retain. This frequently oceans
rn children.
To eur these affections, w most bring lat ac

rious functions. If they ere neglected, Gravel o

H. T, Helw bold. Druggist:
Dbab Sib : lb iv been a sufferer, for apward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidnay
affections, during which time I hav used various
medicinal preparations, and been under th treat
ment ef th mon eminent Physlciaas, experien
cing but little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physl6lan la
regard to using yeur Extract Buchu.
I did this because I had ssed all kinds ef ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and (Out quite injurious; in fact, I despaired ef
ever getting well, and determined tows n reat
edies hereafter unless I knaavof tb lngrdits
It was this that prompted me to us yoar reasdy.
As yoa advertised that it was composed of bach a,
mbebs and juniper berries, it occurred to at and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with bis ad vie, after an examination of th arti
cle, and consulting again with tba druggist, I
concluded to try It. I commenced It as abont
eight montha ago, at which time I waa entnd
to my room From th first bottle I waa astonish
ed and gratified at the beneficial effect, aad after
using it three weeks was abl to walk out. I fait
much like writing yoa a full statement of my ease
at that time, but thought my improvement night
only be temporary, and therefore omladd to
defer and see if it weuld efleot a perfect core,
knowing then ic would be of greater value to yoa
and more satisfactory to m.
I am now abl to report that a curs is effected
after using th remedy for five months.
I hav not used any now for thre months, and
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid ot any nnpleasant
taste and odor, a nic UnLtasd invigoratorof th
system, I do not mean to be without it whnver
occasion may require Its use in such affections.
