VALUABLE Coal MINE. We have been
lavonred with copy bf pamphlet, lately
published by Mr.. Potter, of Poughkeepsie
containing description of the PROPERTY
belonging to the Lycoming Coal Compa-
n.y. situated upon the western waters of
the Susquehanna, in the State ofPennsyl-
wanna. 1t appears from this document.
! which is replete with useful information.
that the above mentioned company was
Incorporated by the Legislature of Penn
sylvanla the present year, with capital
OF S25O,OOO, divided into shares of $50
each and that the lands belonging to it
comprise an area Of 5000 acres, in which
are three strata of bitumnous coal. similar
and equal to the best Liverpool, making
an aggregate depth of about eight feet.
According to fair estimate, this region
VIII produce upwards of 100000 of
tons, or 10000 annually, for the term of
lOO years. Fifteen hundred tons have
already been taken from the Mine, which
furnishes fair experiment Of the facility
OF working it, as well as of the value of
the mineral. The State of PENNSYLVANIA
is now engaged in constructing line of
canals to the mouth of Lycoming Creek,
~ miles from the Mine, to which rail-
road is to be extended; and by these IA
cllltles of transportation, it is stated, that
the coal may be afforded in the Philadel-
phla or Baltimore market, at 81 SO I-2

The House Of Representatives in New
Hampshire have passed a resolution that
they win make use OF no ardent liquors AT
their clearinghouse during the present
session of the Legislature.
POLICE. An individual of respectable
! connexions was on "Wednesday examined
before the Police Court, charged with
having purloined about 500 from the
North Bank in this city, on Monday last.
1t appears that he had been searched at
the bank on the afternoon of that day, but
no money being found upon him, he was
dismissed. After his departure, glove
was found upon the bank floor, containing
bank note of $500, which was indentifi-
ed as the property of the bank. Other
circumstances were disclosed during the
examination which warranted the Court
in ordering the accused to recognise in
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance at
the Munipcal Court. He was committed
for want of sureties.-BoSt. Eve. Bull.
BUFFALO, Dec. 2. CANAL ToLLs. The
a Mt 0f al all Al. e
flee of the Collector at this place, during
the present session, is $3l 1893 O4. The
receipts for the year 1927 were $36, 293 !;
showing decrease of 81, 405. As canal
navigation is not yet closed, something
more may be added to the above estimate,
The decrease of tolls may be accounted
for in the small quantity of produce sent
down the canal, the present season. The
article of flour alone, is estimated to fall
short 3S, 900 barrels, from the amount re-
ceived in New York last year, by the Erie
canal.
MAINE SENATOR. The papers have
been misinformed as to the appointment of
Mixing to fill the seat left vacant by Mr..
Paris. However ready the Council be
to disobey the instructions of the people,
as expressed by their last votes for Presi-
dent, yet we do believe the GOVERNOR
would hardly feel disposed to outrage the
wishes of his constituents by appointing
any man opposed to the present admins
tration. From some cause, no Senator
has, we learn, yet been appointed, and
none probably will be till the meeting Of
