THE BURNING MOUNTAIN,

We find the following interesting par'ic-
uiars III the Lehigh PA Bulletin. They
are communicated in letter to the editor,
dated.
Mourn VEsUyIus, Schuyl, Co Nav 81.
Mr.. Editor:-l this morning paid a visit
to this place situated about miles n f.
Of Mnersvle, and by road & miles from
Pottsylle, to see the wonderful effects of a
coal mine on fire. Arriving at The foot of
the mountain by lateral railroad, | APP
preached the mouth oflhe mine from which
there issued considerable wafer, which to
the taste is highly charged with sulphur and
some iron corroded from the rails, laid in
the gangway of the mine, and deposiiing
a sediment approaching uear color of GRO
mic yellow.
1t was at this opening the fire took place
in January 1889, caused by the miners
having made fire in the mouth of it to
keep the waters from freezing about the
rails, so that they could commence their
operations early in the spring, which
through carelessness gnited the propping
of the gangway, and from which it com
municated to the coal dirt before il was
discovered. The miners then endeaynr-
ed to extingnish it, but II was beyond their
power, and after having worked at it two
nights and day they left ii in despair Of
stopping its ravages, which il is now i'm
possible to stop.
Going from thence up the mountain
(Which faces the South abon, $50 yards J
arrived at the first crater, which is in the
shape of an inverted elIptical cone, about
40 by 20 feet in diameter and sunk some
ID feet below the surface, in the centre OF
which the coal vein or measure is on FIRE,
smouldering as it were with dirt and stones
which have cayed in upon it, the stones are
burnt to appearance like lime. The smell
OF sui phur here is highly perceptibIe; from
the north end Of this crater there issues n
rumbling noise like distant thunder, and
the heat appears to be intense. About 30
feet higher up the mountain arrived at
another crater perhaps 80 feet deep. with
much smoke issuing from the connection
with the first crater on it's South: tie West
side OF this chasm is mass Of immense
stone with fire under it as far as the OPEN

A most disgracefnl hoax was recently played
off in the city Of New York, upon the widow of Mr.
Fowler, one of the persons lost on board the i'll
tated Lexington. She received letter in his
hand writing and signed with his name dated at
the Hospital in Mobile, stating that after being
three days at sea, on bale of cotton, he was
picked up by vessel, in an extremely exhausted
state, and carried into that port 1t was some
time before he recovered sufficiently to make
himself known; and at the time Of writing the let
ter, he was still weak and nervous. The widow
at first believed the letter to be genune and it is
hard to conceive that any human being would
undertake to trie with her feelings barely for the
sake of adding an additional pang to her sorrow
or opening anew the flood gates of grief But it
seems there is such person in existence; and it
would be an excellent plan to catch him and hang
him as an incendiary at once. The man who
could be guilty of such an act, would of course
set his neighbors house fire, whenever he
thought he might do it without detection

On my return TO New Castle, which il

in the mountatain to burn some years. 1t
is now proposed to open the vein at the
other end of the mountain, and save as
much coal in that way as possible.

ROBBERY. AS George w. Rice of Clare
mount, N. H., was travelling from Spring
field towards West Springfield, when about
two miles from West Springfield, on Satur-
day afternoon, he was shot by man with
pistol, in the shoulder. He fell senseless
to the ground, and when he awoke to con-
seriousness, found himself in the woods at
some distance from the road, rifled of his
change and umbrella, and very badly hurt.
He contrived to get TO house, when an
alarm was given, and the man tracked to-
wards New Haven, and the place found
where he obtained his pistols.

GEN JACKSON AND GEN. HARRISON
We copy the following from the Nashville
Wing. We are glad to be permitted to
believe that Gen Jackson is not altogether
as destitute magnauimity as some of the
miscreaRt leaders of his party.
Louisville Jour.
We have recently heard it limited on re-
spectacle private authority, that General
Jackson, though opposed of course to the
election Of Gen Harrison to the Presiden-
cy, is far from endorsing the abuse and
rudeness displayed by portion of the Ad-
ministration party toward that war-worn
patriot. The foul ephet of coward" he
is said to especially deprecate, as being
wholly unwarranted by the conduct OF Gen
Harrison during the war.
