sUsQUEHANNA COAL IL COAL, n1nuNTAUN
COMPANY

oSeoI'A"Nh 1OAL q COAL MOUNTAIN
This is a new coal company about orga-
nizing and going into operation in the
Shamokin coal region. These lands are
located in the neighborhood OF Shamokn.
We copy the following in relation 10 this
company from the Baltimore American.
We learn that the go, 900 shares of stock
| forming capital Of 1875, 900, only 5000
shares remain TO be taken, when the GONNA.
ny will organise, and ii is expected TO 20 into
active operation next spring.
The York (Pa.) Gazette, IN aluding 10 the
Shamokin Coal mines, and the formation of
this Company, Cor developing abundant sup.
plies and cheapening the pIice of Anthracite
Coal in Baltimore, says
"Several Of our citizens already have inter.
ests in that rich and interesting region, and
others are about making investments in the
coal banks there banks which never can
fail, and which will pay best when hardes,
run.-lu consequence OF the completion o
the North Branch Canal 10 the State oil New
York, the greater portion of the coal from
the Wyoming region will hereafter find il,
way 10 Buffalo and the lakes, where anihra
cite coal is in good demand and commands
enormous prices. This region Of the Susque
hanna, Baltimore, and the Sonthren marke
generally, must therefore look 10 the Shame
kin coal mines for a supply, and fortunately
that field contains an nexhaus,ibe supply o
the purest and best coal, both for manufac
turing and domestic purposes, in the country
The specimens of coal which we have seei
are Of very superior quality. 1t can b
mined above water level in immense quaint
ties, for half a centary; and, by the Snsque
hanna railroad running from Bridgeport L
10 Sunbury which, we are assured, will b
completed in course of year, and the Penn
sylvania and Tide Water Canals will hav
facilities for market unequaled by any Goa
region in the couniry.o

u The BEARD QuEsrIoN.-The New
York Tribune in the advocacy of various
reforms, thus discourses on the beard ques-
tion. Some writers contend that nature
never intended that man should shave his
face, any more than his head, or his eye
brows. We confess, however, that we do
not admire the hairy visages that nature
produces, but perhaps we should not say
nature, but the razor, as the natural beard
that has never been touched with steel, is
much more pllable, soft and silky, than the
cultivated one. The art OF shaving, il we
recolect right, was first introduced under
Philip the Second, of Spain, sometimes CAL
led "PhIlip the fair" on account of his
complexion and want of beard. The Span
ish Dons out Of compliment TO their Mon
arch, commenced cutting off their boards.
"As for America, the beard question is ra-
| pidly becoming more national. What with
the partial habit of wearing the beard, en-
gendered BY the Mexicans War and Caiior-
MIA emigration, and the hundreds OF thousands
of Germans who stick 10 it, has ceased 10 be
a novelty In this country Of spare visages
and lhoats il may be particularly commend
ed as The best preventative against the tooth
ache and bronchitis. On this head we wish
to be understood as perfectly serious. There
is no question that 10 the majority of men in
this country the beard is a great promoter OF
health and comfort during our inclement
winters, and those who have once tried 1t,
are not disposed to again submit 10 The razor
or TO undergo the pains and discomiorts OF
denudng their chins of the covering nature
has provided.
.sBut we say TO young America, in coant-
ing houses and work shops, never ionch your
boards with a razor Desplse the dictates ol
fashion. and let the hair of the face grow
siIken and soft, only trimmed by The scissors
Your health will be improved ! your 'eelh
will be sounder; your liability TO colds and
bronchial, aud lung affections will be sensloly
diminished your convenience will be daily
consulted; your manly beauty-no despiea-
ble thing, as il is the type Of what ought le
he tho dover of every man-will be inueii'
ni,ely increased, and the true and poeiica
contrast TO feminine loveliness be once more
secured, which is impossible under the star
we'd, scraped, wiry caricatures which shave
lings now present"

DrJudge Douglass speech, published on
our first page, is ranked as one of the most
powerful efforts of the "Little Giant of the
West" We did not publish that portion
relating to the manner in which the "ap-
peal" of Messrs. Chase, Sumner, & Co. was
got up, as the Judge was evidently wrong
in stating that it had been done on Sunday.
The speech of Mr.. Chase Of Ohio, in reply,
is also an able one. The subject is one of
great diversity of opinion, and many of our
best Statesmen are opposed TO the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise, which will be
the effect of Mr.. Douglass bill, in its pres
ent shape.
" GUsTAvE WAGNER, lately in the en-
ploy of the CattawiSsa Railroad Company
as Engineer and draughtsman, has started
for ConStan,nope, at the request Of Kos
suth. He was Major in The Hungarian
Army, and Kossuth expects him, and all
his old companions in arms, next summer
when it is expected there will be warm and
destructive work going on in Europe.

SELF CoSrRot---It is of primary importance
in the moral education of children that they be
taught habits Of SELF CONTROL: and the first
step towards the requirement Of such habit
is that their will should be entirely subject to
the control Of those under whose guardianship
they may be placed whether parents, teachers
or others.
We may say, without hesitstion that no hu-
man being will ever govern himself well, who
has not first learned to submit implicitly to
he government of others.
1t must then be assumed as a Fundamental
principle in moral education that obedience must
be procured and retained at all hazards.
This is ndespr nsab'e; and the second prinei-
pie is, that we prove In the little subjects that
we love them. Ifeither of these principles be
