A new firm start in the coal business here

% MEssRs. EDITORS Your regular cores
pendent, perceive, keeps you pretty well
posted in regard to news from this section
At present there is not much stirring, and
if it were not for the preparations for fishing,
we should say it was decidedly dull. l OBJ
serve that the OILERS are catching some
shad. On Friday morning of last week they
brought in about six hundred, and on Satur-
day eight hundred from below. Two shores
on Spesutia Island are hauling, catching
few, enough perhaps to form some indication
ofcoming success. The season is about
week earlier than last year. Hands are OBJ
tainable at the usual price per diem, viz
one dollar, which is little enough, when we
consider the character of the work The
shores on the Susquehanna are about ready
to commence, and they expect to haul the
last of this or tie first of next week. I wish
them success. ttt5s
1t is not known yet who is to be our next
Postmaster. The office is not so lucrative
now as it was during the war period, Icing
worth only about $500 year. There are
three or foar applicants for the place, and
II to hold extreme partizan views affords any
criterion of merit, or fitness for the position,
then two at least Of these gentlemen are fully
deserving of success A few days, perhaps,
will decide the halter :.
