The annual election for President and
Directors of the Huntington and Broad
Top Mountain Railroad and Coal Company,
took place in Philadelphia on Monday of
last week.
The following gentlemen were elected:

We make the following extract from the
annual report Of the Directors to the Stock
holders:
The road from Huntingdon to Stoners-
town, twenty-four miles. is completed, and
the cars running upon it daily. The bridge
at the latter point can be completed with
one week of good weather, and the track
from that to the mines is already laid, with
the exception Of about one and half
miles, which the track-layers are now put
ing down. We expect to commence the
regular transportation of coal by the 30th
inst. The track of the road has been laid
with I rail of the best quality. from the
Cambria Iron Works, weighing Sc lbs. to
the yard, on substantial cross ties, laid in
ballast of broken stone, and the whole work,
as far as completed, pone in the most
substantial manner. Two portions of the
Compapy's lands have been leased to re-
sponsible and proatical lessees, for term
OF five years, at rent Of twenty FIVE cents
per ton, and the lessaes have already driven

numerous applicants. A large number Of
privarc operators are also opening their
mines, snd heavy contracts for the Spring
delivery Of coal have been made by them,
as well as by the Colnpany's lessees The
Broad Top Improvement Company and the
Semi Anthracite Company, " hose lands lie
higher upon the mountain, have each open

summer. From the vigor with which the
work at the mines is being pushed both by
the Company's lessees and by private oper-

The nett earnings Of the road thE second
year, by which time large number of col
lieries will be opened, will perhaps be near
ly double that of the first, and must annually
increase thereafter. The peculiar adapta-
ton of this coal to the use of locomotive,
steamships, and stationary engines, as we'll
as rolling lAills, foundries. &c., the solidisy
of its coke, aud its value for blast furnaces,
wlllof themselves create an immense demand
for it. Besides this, it's only necessary for
it to be kno wn, III order to take the place of
Anthracite fer stoves aud open crates in
families, burning freely, with little smoke,
and making as cheerful and pleasant fire as
hickory wood. With these facts before US,
we think we hazard little in saying that with
in very few years, the Broad Top coal re-
gion, this heretofore terra incognita, will
send to market million of tons annually.
With a liberal charter, granting many val
liable privileges; and without restrictions
upon dividends, with the most valuable coal
in the States, or perhaps in the United States
for nearly all the purposes enumerated
above, and with $500 acres valuable coal
lands, costing the Company comparatively
nothing, there is no reason, being once
completely in operation, why the stock
should not pay as large dividends as any
other in the market, and command as high
price.

the breast, but found the solid bone impsne-

esting if collected and published. He was
one of the most remarkable men that ever
lived in Aucrica. His progeny was very
numerous, and he attained green old aga.
At the age of l07 years, when he died, none
of his faculties of mimi or body were

/. Take tumbler, and Gil it nearly full
of water. Then insert lump of sugar in
water, and continue to stir it. In few
minutes the sugar will become invisible.
2. Place candlestick, with lighted
candle in it, in the middle of table.
Mahogany is best, but deal will answer the
purpose. Place an extinguisher upon the
candle, and the apartment will be left in
darkness, unless there are other lights in
it.
8. Take kitten Zone ofkindly disposition

S. Take the tumbler of water mentioned

this feat depends on its rapidity.

WHAT is THE PRICE OF DucKs?-A gentle
man asked: "What is the price of ducks?"
when he confessed he could not tell. He had
beon ont that very day with his wife,, and he
rad purchased no fewer than three ducks
Firstly, there 'duck of dress;' secondly
"duck of parasol; ;" aud thirdly ''duck Of
a bonnet" The first was made of Genoa velvet,
the second was trimmed with Valencienncs
lace, and the third had magnificent bunch of
ostrich feathers The united cost of these pre-
cious ducks was 1915, SO that each "duck'
had stood him no less than $9l aud few
shiIlings apiece. He supposed there were
"ducks' to be had in market cheaper, but for
himself when he hears his wife mention the
word duck he always trembles from head to
foot, for he knows at once that it means some
thing nordinately expensive.
