The Anthracite coal Trade.

TO yield OF coal in the various anhraticile fields
OF ihis Stale, during The season which has just
terminated, we lay before our readers this
morning statement of the an,hraciie coal
trade of The year 1850, few days in advance
of the customary time Of publication. We are
necessarily compelled, in the absence of off,
cial reports, to estimate the yield of the Lack
awana and one or Two of the smaller regions

cienry accurate for all PRACTICAL purposes

Deficiency this wear

Deficiency this year $3.50
During the panic among dealers and con-
sumers which followed the disastrous fTeshets
OF September last, We are aware that a much
larger deficiency in this years supply was
very generally anticipated and predicted but
il should be borne in mind that in lS49, owing
10 the slagnarIon Of the coal trade, the colliers
Of Schuylkill county suspended operations for
about Two months, and consequently that the
yield of that year is much behind the general
average allowing for legitimate increase in
The channels of consumption.
yield Of over three million tons per annum
is indeed startlingly large amount compared
with the product Of the various fields in the ear
ly history of the anthracite coal trade but
large as This amount is, We are convinced that
il will be doubted, if not trebled, within the
next ten years, notwithstanding The embar-
rassmen's flowing from the unequal and Op-
pressiye tariff of 1876 We believe that one
OF the greatest, If not the greatest source Of
consumption, will be found in the river and
ocean steam marine for it has already been
atsfacIorily demonstrated that anthracite coal
is superior 10 any known fuel for the purpose
OF generating steam. The steamship Pacific,
IN her we'll known trip across The Atlantic
the quickest on record--uSed anthracite coal a.
lone. Anthracite coal is now used in all Of
Collins steamers-in all of our coast steamers
and in nearly all of the ferry boats and Slea-
mers of lhe Eastern rivers.
The probable amount of anthracite coal
which will be required in future years for The
ocean steam marine-now in lis infancy-is
beyond conjecture. A side wheel steamer of
the size Of the Pacific, will consume from egh.
10 ten thousand IONS per annum ; but The great
source of consumption will be in The freight
vessels-the propelors--wh appear des-
tined, al no late day, TO take the place Of our
world renowned sailing ships. To show tha,
this is not mere con lecture, we may here state
that large number of the sailing packets which
have recently been launched, al New York,
have been constructed with view 10 their fu-
ture conversion into propelors Under all
these circumstances, we are Inclined TO believe
that the increased demand nexr year will cause
a supply of nearly four millions Of tons to be
thrown into the market, two millions of which
must necessarily come from The Schuylkil re-
gion. In this belief we are strengthened by
the statements Of several of the most prominent
dealers in this city.-NOrth American

Lebanon Valley Railroad.

The President Of the Reading Railroad is said
have subscribed for four thousand shares of the
stock in this new enterprise. 1t will form an i'm
portant link in the great cham of Railroads
throughout the country, and its completion will be
looked to with general interest from all quarters:
The Lebanon Courier remarks,-'Its advantages
become more apparent the more its merits are can
vassed; and we believe it will be the best paying
portion of road in the Union. 1t is the natural
route for connecting the East and the West, and
must be the thoroughfare for great portion Of the

tageous and profitable.

Election of Judges.

The Lancaster Examiner and Herald is advo-
eating the doctrine the people themselves elect
ing their Judges, without the aid of delegate nom
inaiIon, and thinks that the practice of two or
three delegates from a township assume too much
IN deciding what candidate the people of the dis
irict shall vote for. The idea that the communi-
" Of voters should choose their own officers d.
rectly themselves, without being trammeled in any
way, seems to be gaining ground.

Young ladies, you Gagged birds of bcauti-
full plumage, but sickly looks, you pale pets
of the parlor, vcgetating in an unhealthy
shade, with greenish white complexion,
like that Of potatvc sprout in dark cellar
why don't you go out in the open air and
warm sunshine, and add lustre to your eyes,
bloom to your cheeks, elasticity to your
steps, and vigor to your frames! Take
early morning excrcise-lct loose your cor
set strins, and ruaup hill for wager and
down again for fun. Roam in the fields,
climb the fences, leap the bitches wade the
brook, sind 60 home with an excellent appc-
tite. Liberty, thus exercised and enjoyed,
will render you healthy, hearty blooming
and beautiful-as lovely as the Graccs and
asDeverra. The buxom, bright-cyed, full
breasted, bouncing lass-who can darn n
stocking, mend trousers, make her own
frocks, command 4 regiment of pots and ket-
atles fed the: eesss, and hca laaNs
Withal IN company IS Just the soft'of girl
for me, or any worthy young man to marry;
bat you, ye pining, moping, folling, screwd-
up, wasp-waisted, doll-dressed, putty-flced,
consump.ion-mortgaged, nove!-rcading, mu-
sic-murlering daughters of fashion and
idlcncss-YoU are 10 more fit for matrimony
than pullct is to look aftera family of four
teen chickens.
The truth is, my dear girls, you want,
generally speaking, more liberty and less
fashionable rcstraint-morc kitchen and less
parlor-more leg-exercise and less sofia
more pudding and less piano-more frank
ness and less mock -modcsty--more corncd
beef and less corsets--morc breakfast and

What scems in aftcr-ycars so small 2
Why then does everything dilatc
In size, so great, so deep or tall 2
Time crawled with such snail-like pace,
A year was like the life of man.
A mile was then so long space,
My infant mind could hardly span.
When young on novelty we dwell,
And wonder greatly magnifcs;
Then rills to mighty rivers swell,
And hills to lofty mountains rise.
Time has at length my fancy cooled,
$ And rivers back to rills have shruuk
Experience has my judgment schooled,
and mountains back to hills have sunk.
When time the glare has worn away,
That dazled once the eye Of YOUTH!
The bright illusions then decay,
And fancy yields her power to truth.
