Foster, of tho Scranton OaUitry Engineer, gavo it as his opinion that the anthracito coal miners have felt tho hard times less than any other class of wago camera. Mr. Foster declared that fully as much anthracito is being mined this year as in tho few preceding yoars, and tho miners and laborers havo not felt tho pinch. He accounts for this by tho growing domestic consumption of anthracite and tho necessity of mining in order to keep up tho great stocks which tho coal compaulos store for use in mergency. Improvements around tho works havo boon greatly curtailed in order to Teduco operating expenses, and this has greatly affected the great machino shops and kindred industries. Mr. Foster apprehends no want of employment for coal workors this fell, and wages remain at the same rate as lastyor. Wilkes-Ham Record. U8F. DANA'S SAKSAPAEILLA, its "THE KIND THAT CUBES."

This farmer, it ou?ht to bo stated, is an old inhabitant and so far as weather goos,knows as much about it as any other man." Vos.Blr," hocontinued'it'll be a hard winter an' the snow'll he deep. I've kept accountof them whito clouds ilyln' all summer an' this makes 37 days they flow. Tlict moans tliot it'll snow 37daya this winter an' generally hoavy snow, too, for tho clouds wcro heavy. Novcr knowod it to fail 'cept possibly tho winter pf '13, but I didn't novcr oount much on thet. You sco I lied 28 days down thet yoar an' it snowed 29. I alius thought thet I made a mistako in countln' an' I hov beon kccrfuller slnco then. "But I toll you there's no mistako this tlmo. Why, sir, tho molos in my moddcr aro buryiu' deeper this yoar than over afore, 'cipt possibly tho fall of '52, and I guess you rlckolleck the hoavy snow wo had then. That was a winter for snow! Jlininy, hut slio did como down! I mind it woll, for thet full wo butchered our big hog. Weighed 423 pounds. Fact. Speakln of hogs jlst brings it to my mind thet wo butchered ono afore I loft. Well, sir, you mayn't bollovo It, but I'll swan If its meat wasn't growed tighter than tho dickens and was tho whitest I've over seed. Fact. You know what that means. Cricks'llbofroz'dshut, and we'll hov tho longest cold spell we'vo had slnco '59. Shouldn't bo 'sprisod If it'll last longer, but thet was a cold snap, "Seo that boss's fotlock? Look at that butch of hair growin' thoro. Never seo it so long an' thick 'less it's goln' to bo a long aud hard winter, do you? No, sireo, nor anyono olso, cither. Novcr knowed that sign to fall, 'copt possibly in '39, but you could hardly count that, for it was purty sharp all that winter, you rlckolleck. 1 noticed, too, that tho cattle's hair is growin' longor this yoar. Thot's a sure sign, nu' now that Ihappon to think over it, wo remarked nt tho tlmo in '39 that it was oncommonly straugo thet the fetlocks of tho horsos should bo so long an' thick an' tho cattle's hair jost ordinary like. Nowyoutako tho squirrels for instance, an I'll say right hero an' I don't keer who knows it, that you can placo more depondonco on a squirrel than you kin on an infernal groun' hog, for there is sometimes when tho groun' hogjjfails; but as fer tho squirrels I kin say thet I never knowed of 'em to miss hittin' it. Durned if tho squirrels isn't layin' in tho biggost Btock of nuts I over hearn tell on an' they started in early, too. Now if thet don't mean that this hero's goiu' to bo thelougcst and severest winter wo'vo almost ever had what in the name, of common sense and reason does it mean? "Jlst look at tho corn husks ouct. Thoy'ro thicker than you've ovor seed thorn, an' you mightn't wantcrb'liovo me, but the iugyuus have threo outsido peels on 'em. Look out fer this winter, I tell you. It'll bo a nippiu' ono. Them thick corn husks an' threo In- gyun peels isn't thcro fer nothin'. An' then thcro's tho spruco trees. There's moro nio3s on tho hark than I've ovor sawn, an' tho bark on tho hick'ry saplius is thicker than its been since '11, an' you kuow what thet winter was. Bcsido3 the giusing roots is growin' deeper than fer a long time an' you'vo got ter dig for your sassyfrack this year. Thet long dry spell meant somethiu,' an' as soon as I seed frost in August I begun to flggcr on my woodpile. I hev'nt looked at tho goose bono yit ,but I'm told it has all signs of a hard winter an' it's not surprising either, for dang my buttons if I over seed so many pin-feathers on chickens afore in my llfe,not leavln'out tho fall of '27, an' you know what a hard winter thet was. "Well, I mast bo goln.' Hoy I tho rooma tiz? No, tisn't roomatlz. Like a.blamcd fool I cut my corn in tho full of tho moon 'thout over thinkin' what I was doln.' I rubbod it with a half of a pertator couple days ago an' I'vo got to wait now till thero's onough rain drips off tho house to rot the pcrtatei. If this dry weather koep3 up I'll be lamo, but I think I'lltako a few slices offthecorn as soon as tho moon gots well in tho last quarter. Shouldn't wonder if It 'ud rain to-morrow. "Noticed last night that tho horns ofthe moon was pointin' down. If they're thet way to night it'll rain sure. Never (knowed it to fail 'cept once lu the spring of '31, an' it was jlst as woll it didn't rain thet day, 'cause I rickolleck I had to walk seven miles to the nearest widow woman's to borry a piece of bread, 'cause our brindlo cow had lost her cud.
