How Coal was DlcOYered In
Pennsylvania

A writer in the New York Observer as
serts that Col. George Shoemaker, gen
tleman of Teutonic origin, was the dis
coverer Of Pennsylvania coal. He lived
on the Schuylkill, and owned extensive
tracts. The writer goes on to say:
1T CHANGED one day that in construct
ing lime kiln he used some of the black
stones that were lying about the place.
Mine Gotl mine Got! der sthones pc all
on fire 2 exclaimed the astonished Dutch
man, when the rich glow of the ignited
anthracite met his gaze. The neighbSTs,
who, of course, were few andfar between,
were, after much ado, assembled to wit
ness the marvel. This happened in 1872.
Shortly after, mine host loaded q Penn
sylvania team with the black stones, and

difficulties were presented. The CRATES

The Local NeMspaner.

1t is but day or two since we heard a
well dressed young man majestically an
nouuce to a well filled railway car that
''all newspapers were humbngs9 and had
mo principles, no intellect" IN them. It
did not surprise us, few minutes later,
to see copies of the Police Gazette and
Budget of Fun sticking from his pocket.
They were the best measure of his intel
lectual calibre. But while such as he
condemn all newspapers, all thinking
persons will heartily endorse the follow
ing. which we clip from an exchange:
Nothing is more common than TO hear
people talk of what they pay newspapers
for advertising, etc, as so much given in
charity. Newspapers, by enhancing the
value of property in their neighborhood,
and giving the localities in which they
are published reputation abroad, bene-
fit all such, particularly if they are mer-
merchants or real estate owners, thrice
the amount yearly of the meagre sum
they pay for their support. Besides, ev-
cry public spirited citizen has a laudable
pride in having a paper of which he is
not ashamed, even though he should
pick i t up in New York or Washington.
"a good looking. thriving sheet, helps
to sell property, gives character to the
locality, and in all respects is desirable
public convenience. If, from any cause,
the matter in the local or editorial col
umns be not quite up to standard, do not
cast it aside and pronounce it of no ac-
count until you are satisfied that there
has not been more labor bestowed on it
than has been paid for. If you want a
good readable sheet, it must be support
ed; and it must not be supported in a
spirit of charity, but because you feel a
necessity of supporting it. The local
press is the power that moves the peo-
ple.'"

So Is the present laWgIVing organiza-

Copperhead press, whose reasonable ten

the devils cloven foot from under his
mantle. Why do they call the legisla-
tive power a & Rump Congress ?" Pro-
fessedly because eleven States are not
therein. But where rests
the blame that these States are not rep
Were they driven out2 Did
they not of their own accord voluntarily
give up their seats in the Senate and
House of Representatives to raise the fell
on flag of treason against the lawful gov
eminent? Since their seats were vaca-

rebels themselves; I'd. their Democratic
accomplices in the North who encouraged
and strengthened them in their treason,
by propagatiDg the doctrine that the
had no right to coerce Sc

tence-in what way and by whom they
were elected, and if the hitherto treason

to work blindly, but chooses rather to
hear, to put upon trial, and to investigate

L.AlWord to soIdIers.

oLAEALOg LNs - n PAAA
EDITOR CHRoNIcLE 1T seems necessa-
ry to make an earnest demonstration by
promptly sending forward to Congress
more petitions for the equalization of SOL
diers' bounties. Let every one interested
move at once in the matter without loss
of time. Draw up petitions and place
them in good hands to get signers, or at
the most prominent stores of post Offices.
Do not fear to ask men to sign them, for
any man with any soul at all will prompt
ly and cheerfully give his name for so
just purpose. ALI know the sacrifice,
generously made, of the early volunteers
that they fought long and hard, and
suffered much that the pay received
was comparatively trihing; that a large
portion of the little received was used up
IN the procuring of extra necessary COM
forts in the field. Congress cannot make
their case anywhere equal with later vol
unteers, who received large bounties, but
what can be done should be done, for
those deserving are generally needy, and
expect, and have right to expect, what
is Justly due. Congress is well disposed
to equalze the bounties, but Mr.. McCul-
loch, the Secretary of the Treasury, is
using all his strength and influence
against it, because it would increase the
debt trife. Do not let him cheat US of
our rights. The people will pay all such
taxes cheerfully Let the soldiers and
their friends in every directions speak in
prompt and unmistakable notes for
Equalizstionl Very Respectfully.

Anew Mode of shoeing Horses.

A Paris blacksmith has invented a new
system of shoeing horses. Instead of the
shoe being plaeed-frequently much too
hot-on the hoof, and burning its own
<esting place, the outside of the hOof is
cut away round the foot to the depth of
about half an inch this leaves a ledge
into which the shoe fits, and is then flush
with the frog, which just touches the
ground, and the whole foot rests on the
ground, instead of being raised as Of old
by the shoe. The visable advantages of
this are that the foot is little pared, and
instead of great heavy shoe, the animal
is shod in what IS little less than facing
plates. The advantages claimed by the
inventor are, that the horse never slips,
that the shoe allows the foot to expand
naturally and that it lasts as long and is
as cheap as the old plan. 81

the purpose of carrying sanitary supplies
to the colored soldiers there, and
having asked others present, at length
applied to him. mo, 1 won't give you a

The Cuba sugar Crop.

Advices from Matamoras, Cuba, state
that extensive fires had taken place on a
mum Ier of sugar plantations in Cuba, and
it is the general opinion there that the
present crop of sugar and molasses will
he much shorter than was at first antici-
pated. Grocery sugars are very scarce
this yeai on account, it is said, of the lst
of October gale having greatly injured
the cane, and prices are consequently
well sustained.
