COAL—We notice a very interesting letter in
the last Lewistown Gazette, front Gen. Wm. H.
Irwin to Capt. John McCanless, of Philadel•
phis, relative to our Broad Top Coal Mountain.
He shows, by reference to a celebrated English
Geologist and Statistician, that the real weight
of this coal not only largely exceeds that of any
Bituminous or Anthracitous coals, hut that it
weighs more to the cubic yard than any Anthra
cite in Pennsylvania except the "Broad Moun
tain," which exceeds the "Broad Top" only one
pound to the cubic yard I A cat 7 eful analysis
of this coal gives 84.80 per cent. of carbon,
its specific gravity at 1.700, its weight per cu
bit yard 2868 lbs., while the majority of other
coals does not reach 2,400 lbs. per cubic foot,
The writer then says that "when to the com
pactness and density of our Broad Top coal is
added its non-liability to spontaneous combus
tion, owing to its Anthracitic nature, this con
centration of power and economy of space can
not be over estimated.' In concluding his let
ter Mr. Irwin remarks, that the facts set forth
by Geologists and others, "to every intelligent
inquirer establishes beyond all °mar° vesy the
exceeding value of the Broad Top coal-field ;
it is on the quality of coal that all successful
operations must depend, and on this in our coal
we can rely implicitly. In purity, compactness
of structure, and facility of ignition, combined
with duraiility, Broad Top coal stands in the
very foremost rank among the fuels of our
country.
TUE Coors.—The almost daily rains during
the last ten days are likely to do material du.
snags to the Wheat and Oats crops in this sec•
tfon of the State. In some parts of the co•ln•
ty, the greater portion of the Wheat is still in
ehe field, and there is very great danger of it
°growing" in consequence of the heavy rains.
The farmers cannot get it dry enough to house
it, as it has rained every day since it was cot,
and in some instances it is already greatly in.
jured. The Oats crop also has suffered very
much by the recent rains. Nearly the entire
crop is still in the fields, and it is generally ly
ing so fiat on the ground that it cannot be era•
died ; and a large portion of it was thrown
down before it had filled, and thus seriously of
the yield. If we could only have a few
days, the Oats could be mowed and taken in
without binding, but at the time of this writing
there is no prospect of clear weather. There
is every prospect of an immense crop of Corn
and l'Gtatoes.
Ton WCATHER.—In the absence of anything
worthy of note, our Devil suggests that we
write a dissertation on the weather. We would
decline complying with this suggestion, were it
not that the topic is an all absorbing one at
present. Saturday was a beautiful day, and
a retres hing tiorth.westerly wind, and gave our
farmers an opportunity to secure n quantity or
their grain. On yesterday of l Sol rose in brs
splendor, and appearances indicated that he
would reign king of day. The sky wan perfect
ly clear, save hero and there little bright clouds
would d o flitting by. The general opinion was
that the wenthe, W 55 settled and our farmers
would have no longer reason to complain. But
0, how frail are human expectations !ere night
camp, they were blasted dark thunder clouds
came looming. op and drenched the ertrth cone.
pletely. thesky is olerelonied, nud the
air is of resolve ; so much so, that contempla,
tire minds entertain serious thoughts on the
propriety of committing suicide.
DAGUERREOTYPE/I.—Prettyman, at the Sta.
tion lionse, is still engaged in taking (Inner
ecotypes, which are pronounced excellent. As
Mr. Prettyman has permanently located in
our borough, we would earnestly advise our
citizens to extend to him their patronage.
GRAHAM'S MAGAZTIVR.—This excellent tang
