IMPORTANT Discovery OF New AnrI-
Gle OF FuEL.--A correspondent of the Du-
buque Herald, writing from Shullsburg,
At which am employed, and have been
since its commencement. During the cold
weather one of the men, while trying to
make fire of some small brush which
would not lie close enough to suit him,
placed some rocks on it to keep it down
but when the rocks came in contact with
the fire they became ignlted, and burned as
we'll as the brush. The substance is Of
different formation and colors. Some of
it lies nearest the surface. resembles blue
slate and is midding hard, SO that it can be
worked more speedily by blasting; but as it
gets deeper in the ridge it changes its col
or and texture. 1t becomes of deep
brown, and so soft that it can be easily
worked with pick, and is much richer.
When exposed to the air, it becomes Of a
dull brown color
When dried little and broken into thin
scales, it can be lighted by match almost
as easily as a candle The odor arising
from it while burning, (which is very
strong in my opinion, resembles that pro-
duced by Kerosene, We have burned it in
the stove, and it makes a quicker fire than
coal, but does not last quite so long, nor
Will 1t burn to ashes quite so WE'LL but it is
easier Slndled. 1t is found in the work for
Of least i've hundred feet in length, and
forms the cap over the adit in two fore
neads, and where We cut through it in max
ing the open cutit was three feet thick.
fou may possibly have heard reports Of
this discovery ere this, but this you may
rely upon, so fur as developed. ] have rea
son to believe that it underlies large Sec
hon Of country, and will became an article
0ftrade in some shape or other. In my
own opinion Of subject, the oil con-
famed in the rock is the only inaammable
matter it contains.

A minister, recently, while on his way to
preach funeral sermon in the country:
called to see one of his members, an old
widow lady, who lived near the road he
was travelling. The old lady had been
making sausages. and she felt proud Of
them, they were so plump, round and sweet.
Of course, she insisted on her minister
taking some of the links home to his fami
ly. He objected on account of his not
having his portmanteau along. This oh
lection was soon overruled. and the old
lady. aftsr wrapping them in RAJ. carefully
put bundle Of them into either pocket OF
the minister's capacious coat. Thus equip
ped. he started for the funeral
While attending to the solemn ceremo-
MES OF the grave. some hungry dogs scented
the sausages. and were not long in tracking
them to the pockets Of the good mans
overcoat. Of course this was great an
noyance, and he was several times under
the necessity of kicking the whelps away.
Having completed, the minister and con
greeation repaired to the church where
the funeral discourse was to he preached.
After the sermon was preached, the min
lister halted to make some remarks to his
congregation, when brother who wished
to have an appointment given out assembled
the steps Of the pulpit. and gave the min.
listers coat hitch. to get his attention.
The divine thinking it a dog having des-
ign upon his pocket, raised his foot. gave
II sudden kick. and sent the good brother
sprawling down the steps.
"You will excuse me. brethren and sis
ters," said the minister confusedly. and
without looking at the work he had Just
done, "for I could not help it. have sau-
sages in my pocket. and the dogs have been
trying to grab them ever since / came upon
the premises"
Our readers may judge Of the effect such
an announcement would have at q funeral.
