IMPORTANT DIscovERY.-A discovery was
made day or two ago, which is of great i'm
portance to this city, or rather will be if the
discovery comes up to the anticipations Of
the individuals interested. Five years ago a
laborer discovered evidences of coal on the
bluff above the city, but deeming the matter
Of very little importance, thinking the guam.
tity and quality to be unworthy of notice,
concluded to let the matter drop and say
nothing about it. But . few days ago he
became somewhat interested in the affair,
and seeking the owner Of the lAad, informed
him Of his ideas in regard to his discovery,
and asked permission to prospect little.
His reqaest was granted. and with com.
panion and tools proceeded TO the spot, and
after half day. work developed a vein oil
coal some feet in width, but at present of un.
known thickness. The discovefer of the
treasure, for treasure il is, has had consider.
able experience in the coal mines of Pitts.
burg, and pronounces the coal just found tc
be far superior in quality to that which We
are now using from the banks miles up the
Valley road.
At present..it is impossible to tell whether
the vein is of sufficient thickness to Justify it
being worked. Should it, however, prove t
be prolific, what an incalculable benefit ane
blessing it will be to our city, All the Goa
now used in the city is brought by rail fort,
or fifty miles, at tax to the consumer o
twenty cents per bushel. How differen
would it be If this much used article could b,
found within few blocks of the business
portion Of the city. We note the fact now o
the discovery, and shall watch with interes
further DEVELOPMENTS.

young ladies, the whole secret with nine.

yesterday that the steamer Countess had ex>

Countess was at the wharf at Quincy when
