MIR. EDITOR The only apology we can

imposing upon your valuable time, is, as
Paul says, "To write the same thing to
you to me is not grievous, but for you it is
safe, in both which stir up your pure
mind in way of remembrance
The Mite Society of the NJ. f Church,
of North East, held Fair and Festival on
three evenings of last week, which proved
quite success. 1t raised about $50, which
is to be appropriated to the furnishing of
the parsonage, &c. We understand that
some of the rum shops closed their bars on
the occasion, (at MIGHTY Be that as it may,
we are informed some of the young boods
of the town secured sufficient quantity
of the fluid to excite them to disorderly
conduct, which eliminated in tearing to
pieces the fish pond, and manufacturing a
flag of it, which they attached to the
rear of wagon. Report says one of the
young bloods had to be carried home to his
ma and pa.
We hope the time is not far distant, when
North East and all its vicinity will not be
able to raise sufficient number of Gre

LETTER FROM POTTSVILLE.
PoTTsyILLE, Pa, July 1st. 1871

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, July 1st. 1871.
DEAR WHIG:-It is said that " variety is
the spice of life" and as the common
interests here are so much the opposite of
those in Cecil that we cannot but think the
following would prove interesting to our
old friends. To those who have never visi-
ted the coal regions, and whose knowledge
of the great resources buried here, our
statements may appear fabulous, but we
are prepared to produce the facts. Upon
leaving Philadelphia on the Reading or
North Pennsylvania Railroad, the first sign
of approaching the coalfields is the i'm
mense train of coal. We have noticed in
general they will average about one hun
bred cars to the train, each carrying about
four tons. These trains run at intervals
of several hours in day time, while at night
the time between the trains does not exceed
fifteen or twenty minutes. From this you
can draw your conclusion as to the amount
of coal shipped. We were informed by an
employee at Reading, that about four
thousand cars of coal had passed down the
road in the twenty-four hours preceding.
We we'll remember how faint was our idea
of coal breaker previous to seeing one
In value they range from twenty-five thous-
and to one hundred and twenty five thous-
and dollars; they are frame and very large
and high. The coal is raised to the top of
the building by steam, and is there run
through large cast iron rollers called break
ers, from these the coal slides down an
incline plane the bottom of which is a
screen which separates the different size
coal which passes ON into schutes from
which it runs into the cars below and is
ready for shipping.
While the coal is passing down the plane
numbers OF little boys, as black as mid
night, may be seen picking the slate out.
1t is astonishing and painful to note
the number of men killed and crippled in
the mines, generally from the fall of slate
or explosion of gas. The latter generally
results in fearful burning or suffocation.-
The character of many of the miners is
good, while on the other hand there are
some of the most villainous outlaws in the
civilized world.
The late strike has reduced many fami-
lies to the verge of starvation, but their
circumstances are improving since resump-
ton has taken place.
We are constantly apprised of threatened
strikes again, but it is to be hoped that
work will continue without interruption
until next winter. Should another general
strike take place it would place business
here in deplorable state. But am try
ing you, should anything of interest occur
l will write you again.
Truly Yours, p. W. ].
