A purse of sl2 had been collected as the
prize for the feetest skater; hand bills were
posted announcing the occasion, and at the
appointed time about 1000 ladies' and
gentlemen had assembled on the ice (Which
was in magnificent ordcr) to witness the
sport. The distance was one mile-half
nile out, turn around skate, and return.
Nine or ten skaters entered for the race,
aud when the word Ego" Was given, started
Of in good. One, printer, was knocked
into p' on the first quarter; and on the
second, two or three more wheeled off ;
and in turning the half-mile corner, the
best skater on the ice suspended Con the
broad Of his back and the next best rolled
over the top Of him-leaving but three
skaters on the last half mile, and one of
which soon 'caved in, leaving two pretty
equally matched in fectncss. The way

The Mahonoy and Shamokin Improve
mcnt Company, having completed their
railway from the mines to the Susquchan-
ma River, and also their splendid bridge,
5000 fec, i'll length, over the river, have
commenced delivering coal at their depot,
Pert Treverton, on the Pennsylvania Ca
nal, which takes their coal direct to Della
ware city and Havrc-de Grlcc, Nd. The
stockholders comprising several Of the
wealthicst citizens of New York, organized
this company with view Of bringing to
market species of coal unsurpassed in its
kind for manufacturing and steam purpo-
ses, and for domestic use. The company
arc owners of thirteen veins of coal, vary
ing from l. to Is feet, and "a feet in
thickness, aud which are represented to be
for all practical purposes ine1haus'ible.
These mines are leased to various opera
tors, who have already found large local
demand for the coal The Mahonoy and
Shamokin Company have, it is said, COM
mcnccd their operations free of debt. The
mines of the company are situated at the
northern TERMINUS Of the Balt Central Z.

TIrsY AND PATRIoTIC.-An investiga-
ton was recently made by surgeon Of
the United States Army, to ascertain the
most common cause of enlistment. Of a
company containing ffty five, he ascertained
that ninc-tenths enlisted on account Of
some female difficulty, and .tony-three we're
either drunk, or partially SO, at the time
of enlistment. 1t may be very treason
able suggestion, but i, seems evident from
these statistics that love of whiskey makes
more soldiers than either love Of country
or thirst for glory.
