The Yankee Fixed ii: or Governor
MifsliHs First Coal Fire.

1t is truly astonishing, that the mex
haustble beds Of anthracite coal, which
extend along the SchuylkiIl River, and
stretch through the valleys and noun
tains of Pennsylvania, from old Berks
County to the mountains of Shamckin,
were not found out and applied to
domestic uses, full fifty years before they
were noticed
Coal has been exhumed from the earth,
and burned in forges and CRATES in
Europe, from time immemorial, we think,
yet we distinctly remember when few
canal boats only were engaged in trans
porting from the few mines that were
opened and worked along the Schuylkill,
The comparatively few tons OF anthracite
coal consumed in Philadelphia or sent
away As far back as 1890, there was
but little, any, coal shipped to Philadel
phia from the Schuylkil mines at all.
Our venerable friend. the still yiyaci-
Gus and clear headed Col. Davis. OF Del
aware, gave US, few years ago, rath,
er amusing account of the first success
ful attempt Of very distinguished old
gentleman, Gov Mullins to ignite pile
Of stone coal. The date of the transac
ton (more's the PITY has escaped Us,
but the facts OF the case arc something
after this fashion.
Gov Miflin, OF Penn sylvania, lived
and owned fine estate in Miitfln County
in which county was discovered, from
time TO time, any quantity of black rock
as the farmers commonly called the then
unknown anthracite. or course, the old
Governor knew something about stone
coal, and had a slight inkling Of il,
character. A hours Of leisure, tht
Governor was in the habit OF experiment
ing upon the black rocks by subiecing
them to wood fire upon his hearths bu
the hard, almost niut-like, anthracite o
that region, resisted with most obdurat,
pertinacity the repeated attempts OF thu
Governor 10 set il on fire.
II finally became joke among tn,
reighboring Pennsylvania Dutch farm
ers, and others Of the vicinity, that Gov
Miillin was studying out theory TO Sc
his hills and fields on fire, and burn on
The obnoxious black rock and powders
But despite the gibes and jokes of hi
dogmatcal friends, the old Governo
stuck to his experiments, and the resul
produced, AS most generally it doe
through perseverance and practice,
new and useful fact, or principle.
One cold and wintry day, Gov Mifli
was costly perched up in his easy chair
before the great roaring, blazing hiekor
fire. overhauling ponderous State docu
ments. and deeply engrossed in the affair
of the people, when his eye caught th
outline OF big black rock bowlder up
on the mantel piece before hint was
beautiful spe cimen of variegated antbra
cite, with all The hues Of the rainbo,
beaming from its lacquered angles. Th
Governor thought "a heap" OF tn

piece Of anthracite, and, placing il care
fully upon the blazing cross-sticks OF Il

They proceeded short distance above
Caurdea, distance from this point, some
three or four miles. The commander Of
the troops moved his whole force care
lessly ahead without any advance guard,
it is reported down to the bridge, which
was torn up by the enemy. AS soon as
all had crowded down as they always do
at bridge or other place not readily
crossed, the rebels in ambush fred upon
them. The Adjutant Of the N. Y. Vet

5 others (enlisted men } were killed, and
40 wounded. Our forces left rebel
Colonel and Adjutant dead on the field.

ed. As soon as our troops recover from
the shock, they rallied and drove the
enemy from the field. 1t was estimated
by some, that there were 1000 rebels,
while others assert it impossible to esti-
mate with any degree of correctness.
That there was disaster | think sure,
and one, too, for which some one is re-
sponsible. 1t is high time that all Off
GERS who do not properly regard the in
terests and safety ftheir men, were re-
leved from command by better men.
To-day we learn that private Hough-
ton, company X, was drowned yesterday.
He was insane, and when the fleet tied
up, he went on board the Luminary,
went on hurricane deck, walked 10 the
wheel house and jumped overheard and
was seen no more. He was new re-
crut. This expedition is the first of

quainted, but was estimated highly by

My Cbild's Origin.

BY DAVID BARKER.
One night as old St. Peter slept,
He left the door of Heaven aiar,
When through little angel crept,
And came down ON q falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
OF fmorn approached, my blushing brid'
Awakened from some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more:
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way to that blessed shore,
And find that gate of Heaven again.
ST. PETER'S REPLY.
Full eighteen hundred years or more
I've kept my doors securely tied;
There is no :" little angel" " slrayed,
Nor has been missing all the while.
did not sleep as you supposed,
Nor left the door of Heaven aiar;
Nor has q" little angel left,
And gone down on falling star.
Go ask that blushing bride and see
If She won't frankly own and say,
That when she found that angel babe,
She found itby the good old way.
God grant but this-I ask no more:
That should your number be enlarged,
That you will not do as before,
And lay it to St. Peters charge.

Examination of school Teach

ers'
The Board of School Examiners will
hold Examinations at the Court House,
in Warren, on Saturday, May 18th.
The new school law provides that ev-
cry male applicant for a teachers GER
ti6cate shall pay 8 fee of fifty cents, and
each female applicant q fee of thirty five
cents, in addition to revenue stamp and
postage. These fees are o paid for the
certificate, but as a condition of exanin-
alton. Each applicant must pay this fee
before being examined.
1t is believed that this provision will
afford an adequate fund for a Teachers
Institute annually in every county of the
State. This win elevate the STANDARD of
qualifications among our teachers, and
greatly promote the efficiency of our
country schools. The law provides for

A Burial Place.

n III fIaC6s
When Mr.. James D. Kennedy. of this
county, visited the Perryyille battle
ground, a few weeks after the fight there,
in search of the remains of his son, he
very thoughtfully made a diagram of the
position of the graves in the trench in
which the soldiers of the l05th Regiment
who fell at Perryville, were buried. We
have seen the diagram and observed that
the precise spot at which each body was
laid could be easily identified. We are
permitted to say that Mr.. Kennedy (who
is now engaged in the County Auditors
Office, in this place. will furnish all the
information he may have in regard to the
nstter, to those desiring it.

written on small strips of red cardboard,
and counted outin piles of tens, and then
shufhed up p-rOmiscuously and placed in

that the intention was to have the cards
thoroughly mixed, so that if two mem
bers of the same family should be drawn,
it would not be because proper care had
not been taken to separate the names
The names were placed in the wheel by
the Marshal, the wheel was turned by
Commissioner Fields, who also announced
the names as they were drawn. The bal
lots we're drawn out by DR.. Howe, who
was blindfolded for the purpose.
The MarshaPs Office was crowded, as
was also. the sidewalk in front. The
names were announced, as drawn, from a
window, TO outsiders. The crowd was
good natured.
The draft commenced with Brookfeld
