Coal Without Price.
Knim Urn NiirMiiiinhi'rl.viiil ..I'n'M."
Coal for the taking is tho go now
among many people living along tho
banks of tho North Branch of the
SiiHr-"channa and even along tho
banks of tho Big river for a good
distance. - The fact is, for many
years coal has been accumulating in
tho bottom of the river, having
found its way thither from the coal
breakers up the river at Plymouth,
Nanticoko and Shickshinny. It has
been washed down stream by cur
rents, nml Hoods for a distance of a
hundred miles, and now many per
sons aro enjoyingthe luxury of burn
ing coal free. Tho getting is all that
is required. Tho coal taketi from
tho river is wsnbod smooth and
round7 by"the action of the water.
It is said very little hlate is found
among it, and that when used in
tho stove it makes an excellent fire.
Somo of the gatherers of this coal
get it for their individual use and
some get it to sell. The proprietors
of Savidge's sand digger have been
taking twenty tons a day from the
river at Johnson's Kim, above town
by using the digger. It is said
Savidgo disposes of his black dia
monds at tho rale of two tons for
live dollars, w hili' a Shamokin Dam
party is said to sell it for !?l.lo per
ton.
More than a year ago this boom
was inaugurated. Since then the
diamonds have been taken from the
river at dilleient points along the
river from Danville, and other North
Itiaueh towns, down to Liverpool,
thirty mill's below N'oithumberland
along the Big river.

being killed by an infuriated she

noise in the brush just back of his
stable ami supposing they were
worrying some cattle ruining at
large ho went out to see about the
matter not thinking to take any lire
anus along ; he pushed through the
brush right into Hie embrace of the
ferocious animal. The bear at once
commenced clawing him, having tho
man almost at her mercy, but fortu
nately tho dogs kept up their at
tack and after a severe tussel he
succeeded i'l freeing himself. He
was fearfully torn, his entrails bit

his arms dreadfully mangled. It is
hoped ho may recover. The bear
escaped. ' nil f'rrnit.
