(Special Correspondence to the PKE88. ) ' Laykon, N. J., April 87. Mrs. Lester Van Etten remains very feeble. Her Ill ness dates from an attack of measles In midwinter, and her friends feel very soli citous through doubt of her final recovery to health. A party of light fingered gentry got away with a lot of ehlckens one night last week that Junior Layton had boxed to take to Port Jervia next morning. It Is up- posed they went to Stroudsburg Instead. Junior has blood In his eye now, and they any he sleeps with one eye on a musket loaded with buckshot which he will trans fer gently to their worthless carcasses whon they try that racket again. Some young people, who annoyed the Worshippers at Sunday evening servtoesby their Indecorous behavior in the hallway, should be tied to their mothers apron strings yet awhile, at least until they learn to act like ladies and gentlemen. I wonder what alls our road overseen stones are not thrown out, nor are the roads being worked yet to any extent. Too bad The early spring and a good road ma chine for good roads, and economy to tax payers. The time is slipping by. The last hatchings of eggs are In the In oubators at the Pine Hill Farm Poultry yards. When they are out the season will close. There will be about 1000 chicks on Band at that' time, and the days will be none too long to meet the 1000 little require ments of this happy family. Should It meet with the approval of ye editor I shall endeavor to briny describe hatching.breeds as followed at the Pine Hill Farm Poultry yards. Two cases of measles in Centrevllle, not more than usualy severe this spring and It Is a question if It Is worth while to iso late the little folks from it. At this time of year it Is not necessarily dangerous un der proper care, espoclaly with the children The mortality amoung grown people seems to be greater. Mrs. Ellen Shay after her vendue of the 80, will move into the David Loeey house fur the balance of the year. The farm of Oscar Van Auken recently voouted by Linn Depue Is now occupied by Will Westbrook of Montague. Comments upon Rev. Van Glahns ser mon preached at Outrevllle Inst Sunday f, "V night wore very complimentary. The In structlons it contained as to the duties of members of the church were ooncise and sensible. If the members do not live up to their professions, it is evident that the minister Is not to be blamed for not bias ing the road. Mrs. J. N. Miller while moving about her home a few nights ago without a light overturned a wash bowl breaking it. Her foot coming In contact with one of the pieces was severely cut.

A find of coal in the neighborhood of Marshals creek has thrown that place into a state of much excite ment. While John S. Fish, who has I farm about two and one-half miles from Marshalls creek, was digging along a ledge of rocks on his proper ty his shovel threw up a peculiar black looking substance. Fish picked up the substance and upon close examination was convin ced that it was coal. He carried some to his home and placed it in the fire. He was agreeably sur prised to find that it burnt easily though it was composod of a little slate. Elated with his find he took some of the stuff down to blacksmith Cole who is authority on black diamonds through forty years experience in using them. Cole tried some in his furnace and found that it burnt free ly. He stated that the coal is of superior quality. Fish will get an export's opinion of the coal and in the meantime is digging up portions of his farm to see if there are any more traces. It will be remembered that some time ago coal was discovered at Re sica. The whole country within t radius of five miles from Marshall's creek was at one time loasod by the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas company who were going to bore for oil, but owing to the company disbanding no operations wero made. Monroe county has several times shown evi dences of coal, gas and oil. Mr. Botsford, who is interested in in the oil wolls near Honryvillo, was in town Monday and stated that they had bored to a depth of 1600 feet going through two stratas of rock finally striking oil, which mixed with water, yields about fif teon b ar rels a day. He further stated that they would bore still further. Dai ly Times. Whilst all hope that coal may be found, the substance discov ered by Mr. Fish is probably nothing more tnan Marcellus shale, which has led many in the past to believe tnat it is coal. A Vmtr Milden'i Love. " I wish, " said the young man, as the twilight deepened, " I could believe yon loved me as mach as I love you. " "That, " replied the Vassar maid en, "is simplicity itself. Suppose a demonstrate it to you matnemati cany. " Well, " he responded somewhat doubtfully. " You and I, " continued Miss Ax iom, " belong to a certain circle, do we not f " Yes, " he assented. "Consequently," she said, "we might call ourselves radii of that circle. " The young man nodded. " Two radii of a circle are equal to v : i l p . i , a tiuru rauiiui oi tne same circle, He did not contradict her. " It is established beyond all nos- sible dispute that things which are equal to the same thing are equal to ouo anotner. The young man was interested, but still puzzled. " Now " she concluded in triumph il you ana i are Dotn equal to a unkown quantity, which we call " What is X? " he interrupted. " If, she repeated. ' vou and are both equal to X, our mutual love then, as things which are equal to mo Dame uiuig. are equal to one another, I must love you in the same ratio mat you love me. " And he was so satisfied that, not neeuing any more liht on the sub joct, the gits was not illuminated for fully two hours. St. .Louis Post Uispatch.

C, 11 their S1.8U) urU WM Skitlnf In Summer. The opening of the St. Nicholas Club skating rink brings one of the most iorfect, healthful, and grace ful exercises within easy reach of city ieoplo. New York knows very little of the practice of skating, no opportunity being afforded between the Battery and the Harlem, except the Central Park lakes, which on the rave occasions when they are frozen over, are covered so thickly by the throngs of skaters that the exercise becomes almost impractic able. TheBt. Nicholas rink occu pies a substantial light, and roomy structure, built for the purpose. The ice is artificial, and is renew ed several times daily, presenting a hard clear and smooth surface,-two hundred feet long and about seven-ty-fivo feet wide. It is admirably lighted by day and by night. There is no need for the visitor to burden himself or herself with skates j they may be rented at a nominal fee. Uniformed attendants provide for the comfort of visitors, and give instruction. The building is pro perly warmed, but not heated. If you want heat, you can seek the vicinity of a large open fire-place, in which a wood fire is blazing. The location of the rink is very oonveni ent, Sixty-six street, Just east of the elevated station on Columbus avenue j at hand are the Columbus avenue cable, the Sixth avenue, and the lioulevard cars. There is musio afternoon and evening. The St. Nicholas rink is fashionable, and, though the admission fee fifty cents dunne the dav and seventy- nve cents at night may seem high it serves its purpose in excluding un desirable company.
