COAL.
our choice.

Since our last, we have witnessed expert.
ments made with the Worcester coal, the re-
suit of which is so flattering, that we hasten to
lay it before our readers. That the expert
ment might be fairly made, an equal quanti-
ty OF the Worcester, the Lehigh, and the
Rhode-lsland coal was measured and accu-
rately weighed, after which, each kind was
successfully placed on CRATE and ignited,
with thermometer suspended at little dis
lance from the fire. Sufficient time, however,
was allowed between each experiment to let
the fireplace and crate get entirely cool.
Each kind was allowed to burn as long as it
would maintain combustion of itself, and the
residuum was then removed and weighed.
The result was that the Worcester coal lasted
5 hours; Lehish, hours rs minutes; Rhode
Island, 3 hours SO minutes. The thermome-
ter was raised by the Worcester coal to l79
degrees by the Lehish to I60 deg. by the
Rhode Island to 1874. This was the highest
point to which the thermometer was raised by
each, but the Worcester coal maintained its
highest temperature longer than either of the
others, and, when it fell, it fell less rapidlyG
On weighing the residuum it was found that
the Worcester coal had consumed h.. i; the
Lehigh ID. 2 OF. the Rhode-Island 8 ID. Q
OF. In the residuum there was considerable
Of each kind unconsumed which would answer
for a new FIRE. OF this there was the most Of
the Lehigh, and the least of the Rhode Island.
The Worcester coal burned uniformly bright
or than either Of the others, and with much
more flame.
On the whole, although single experiment,
like this, cannot be considered an accurate test
of the comparative quality of our ceal, yet it
is sufficient to shew that it is of great value,
and that, in it, we possess an inexhaustlole
source of wealth. When the Canal to PROVE
dence is completed, it's believed thai 1t may
be delivered there for S. per chaldron, and
that it will be cheaper than any other iue4
at that place. But the greatest advantages

GENERAL EvANs-Sir, enclosed, YOU
will find a piece of bone, the size of
which will surprise you, when you are
told that it made its appearance on the
cheek of the girl you visited. 1t came
out this morning, "wednesday, and is
the largest, but very little, that has been
discharged. The number of pieces of
bone which have been discharged since
you saw her, am unable to state, but
will say, unequivocally, they would fill
two thirds of common sized tea cup,

Other circumstances are precisely as

On the night Of the Goth inst. the blood
again commenced running from the face
of the girl, and a large quantity discharg-
ed no emissions of flesh or bone have
since taken place, but on the evening of
the 18th, one or two large pieces of
bone came out of the eye, below the
eye-ball-they were seen coming, and
their progress plainly marked until
they came entirely out-the girl COM
planned of considerable. pain while they
were coming cut; and one piece of
bone came out through the skin above
the eye, and the appearance was pre-.
ciseiy simiiar to those that came out Of
the cheek; no hole, opening or aper-
ture, could at any time be discovered,
and the girl yet continues in perfect
health, free from the most distant symp-
toms OF pain or soreness. 1t may be
conjectured by some who have not had
ocular demonstration of the above facts,
thar it is all farce; that il is effected
by artifce or the slight of hand; but
from the we'll known responsibility Of
Mrs. Prince, and the residents in her
