The Coal Supply Of England.

The royal commission of the scien-
ti1ic and practical men appointed to
examine and report upon the subject
of the coal supply in the United
Kingdom, have recently published
their report, covering Investigations
made during q period of five years.
The quantity of coal used in the
United Kingdom for domestic pur-
poses, and manufacturers other than
iron, is about 60,000,000 tons per
annum the manufacture of iron con-
Stunning between 100000 and 3d.
100000 tons. Nearly three tons Of
coal are used-omitting that employ
ed for the manufacture of iron-for
all purposes, by each head of the
population; or, for domestic pnr-
poses only, about one toa per annum
for every man, woman and child.
The Commission estimate the prob
able quantity of coal contained in
the ascertained coal fields Of the I'm
tied Kingdom at 90,207, 100000 of
tons. Coal which probably exists at
workable depths under the permian,

incumbent ST. ia in the United King.
dom, 50,273, 100000 of tons. Making
an aggregate quantity of 143, ,4S0, ,0O0,-
600 of tons which may be reasonably
expected to be available for use. The
GbSolctte exhaustion of coal is q stage
which, the Commission say, will
probably never be reached. In the
na.ural order of events, the best and
most accessible coal is that which
is the first to be worked, and
ossIvr oil En sr1,
hitherto been raised has been taken
from the most valuable seams, many
of which have, in consequence, suf-
fered great elimination. Vast de-
posits of excellent and highly valu-
able coal still remain, but prefer
ence will continue to be given to the
best and cheapest beds, and as exhaus-
ton is approached the country will
by slow degrees lose the advantage
Gus position it now enjoys In regard
to its coal supply. a time must
even be anticipated when it will be
moro economical to import coal than
to raise the whole of it from residual
coal beds; and before exhaustion is
rc sched the importation of coal will
become the rule, and not the excep-
ton, of practice. And it is said that
It may well be doubted whether the
manufacturing supremacy Of the
Kingdom can be maintained after
the importation of coal has become q
necessity. AS regards the exporta-
ton of coal, the Commission report
that the probable development of the
enormous coal fields of North Amer
lea, and those of India, China, Japan
and other countries and the more
effective working of the known coal
fields of Europe will probably pre-
vent any considerable increase in the
future export.

Santa Fe is the oldest town in the
United States but one, which is st.

curiosity to see how a town looked

pretty fair conception of things as

the settlement of this continent.
In many of the manufactures in
Massachusetts, steam engines are be-
ing added, to be used in connection
with the water power. A town with
q water power can accommodate
twice as many mills, and at the same
time in the event of any drought or
other accident to the water power,
the mills are guarded against stop
page which so often materially affects
their business.
a Welshman accustomed to quarry
work, while passing through Mon
son, in Maine, observed some slate
rock that had been thrown from q
cellar. He recognized it as valuable,
and in company with another man
traced the vein along the surface, and
finally purchased fourteen acres Of
the apparently worthless land for
seventy-five dollars. They imme-
diately commenced an excavation,
aud found, as they expected, good
slate at the depth of few feet. In q
few weeks they sold their purchase
to New York company for $4,000.
In old Rome there were nine aque-
ducts to supply the city with water,
and the amount furnished for each
inhabitant could hardly have been less
than 300 gallons for each person

don at the present time. One OF
their aquedHcts was fifty-four miles
long and one forty-tWO miles long.
No modern city ever had such perfect
arrangements for baths and perfect

sewers for carrying off the filth Of
the city were also most perfect. The

which he sold for pickles, and gave the
proceeds COR missions A young man
planted one potato on land that his
aunt allowed for the purpose. tyield

yielded seven and half bushels, which
sold for enough to make what was re-
garded a agenerous donation. a lady in
Pennsylvania had q missionary hen

of anything else he could spare, conse-
crat ed a gooseberry- for missions.
This could be put in fence corner, and

Jesus, who lived and died for us as well
as for her. "What can me do?"

Before getting to her cabin, the way was
found. She had few chickens, which
she called her own. Taking one OF the
fattest and finest of the flock, she tied q

Who the TunkerS are,

The Thinkers have no book Of forms
or faith. They have and use only the
Bible and hymn book. IN cases ofoffen-
ces committed by members, the accused
is tried by the Bible, and such punish
ment meted out as is suggested by the
New Testament for the offence named.
We have no idea, says the Rocking
ham (Na) Register, of the number of
members connected with the Tunker
Church in the valley of Virginia they
the religious denominations. Their
ministers labor without remuneration.
They have no. paid !oflicers in the
church. Churches are erected and
other necessary expenses are met by the
voluntary contributions of the members.
They have no paupers. Whenever a
member becomes helpless and infirm,
and unable to take care of himself, the
church maintains him. Thus aTunker
pauper has never been known.
The Tunkers are almost universally
agriculturists. They generally are good
farmers, and are noted for their frugality
and industry. AS matter of course,
they are successful farmers. Their chill
dren are brought up under the most
stringent rules cf morality. Hence the
Tunker boJs and girls, as general
thing, are examples of sound morality
and propriety. 1t would be a wonder
to see young Tunker drunk, or to
record a violation of the proprieties by
the daughters of Tunker.
They are opposed to litigation and
lawsuits. controversies between the
brethren are settled among themselves
without referring to the Gentle world.
