complete that it retains the fire until all the coal

cially the hard and heavy kinds. They do not

case if Goals were sold by measurement, but never

to show that 81 pounds of a free burning red ash
yielded more heat to . room in fifteen hours than
81 pounds of heavy white ash coal. making the
red ash at SIS SO to be more economical than the
white ash at s. 81 per ton. Any person accus.
toned to use these heavy Goals will be astonish-
ed nj the saving which can be made in burning the
lighter kinds, when tested by the toegt and burnt
in a suitable manner.
An apprehension exists with some that the free
burning Goals have a tendency to clinker. Now,
as a general rule, no coal will clinker unless a
greater draught be applied tot than the coal natu
rally requires. No one would think Of applying
bellows constantly to q fire made of seasoned
hickory or oak wood, and II would be equally ne
absurd to apply blast constantly to a free burn
ing coal. But the heavy white ash anthracites
cannot be burnt without q powerful draught, and
without using larger quantity Of coal than the
temperature of the weather sometimes requires.
Various patterns Of stoves, furnaces, cooking
ranges. &c, are invented annually to conquer this
difficulty Tut 1t has never been done with complete
success In every continuance, however, which
has been invented to burn coal, the Transition .
riety will make beautiful fire, and no complaint

Introducing this new coal for the first time, pre-
pared as il now is by steam power machinery for
buyer to say that The celebrated free burning red
ash veins in the Peach Orchard district near Potts
viiie are continuation of the Dauphin peins, and
they approach the nearest in value to the Transition
Coal!
Shipments Of the Transition coal have already
been made to the District of Columbia, and Il
can be obtained at retail from the following
persons:

VIM. Warder, do
Woodford Stone, do
Hunsberger & Co., do
Myers & Baker, Georgetown.
Orders for this coal by the cargo, az well az for
the Semi Bituminous and Anthracite Goals, mined
by the Dauphin and Susquehanna Coal Company
will be promptly executed by
