Jenny boarded with Mrs. Kate Christ, whose
self and house are known to fame and the Courts
It appears that on the 18th ipst., an admrer of
Miss Jenny's generously presented that amiable
young lady with, what purported to be, a check
drawn by Chamberlain, Frick & Co., an extensive
and well known firm of Northumberland dated
May nth, 1871, payable to VIM. X. Chatham or
bearer, at the First National Bank of Sunbury
for two hundred and sixty dollars. On the 18th
inst, Jenny presented il at the counter of the
First National Bank of Northumberland, where
il was paid, no suspicion being raised at the
time. On the 18th inst, n man calling himself
j. Brown, called on Esquire Beard and demand
ed warrant against Jenny, charging her with
passing this forged check, and stating that he
supposed Chatham was in Jail by that time. This
fellow it appears called at Mrs. Christs with the
warrant, and succeeded in frightening Jenny out
of fifty dollars, all of tire money left of the two
hundred and sixty dollars. Jenny and Mrs.
Christ were discharged by the magistrate, and
went their way rejoicing in their extra fortune.

WE copy the following items from the Danvile
| Aineyicdn of last week
PREPARING FOR WoRx.-The proprietors OF
the Pennsylvania Iron Works are having their
furnaces cleaned out and put in thorough order
preparatory to starting. This should not be un-
derstood as an evidence that the furnaces will be
put in operation soon as this work is compile
ted. None will he put in blast until there is a
permanent solution of the difficulties in the coal
regions. 1t would be madness to start when the
| supply Of coal cannot be depended upon. The
several companies in this place are ready and
willing to go to work just as soon as the miners
go to work in earnest. We are serry that such
condition should exist, but our readers should
know the exact truth, and censurc the parties
who are to blame.
THE LAST ADDrr1oN.-Wc have just learned
that Messrs. Z. II. Badly and David Clark have
bought 40 acres of the North Eastern portion of
Mr.. Faux's farm, adjoining Riverside, and in
due time will lay It out in conformity with our
town plot. This makes an aggregate of over
three hundred and fifty acres uniformly land out
with wide streets, crossing each other mt right
angles, ard when planted with shade trees will
give us one of the most attractive towns in the
State rs place of residence.
TELEGRAPH OFFICE AT MISUNDERSTANDING
mcnts are now being made for the establishment
of n telegraph station in the Post Office. The
Western Union Telegraph Co. have agreed to
extend their wires as soon as the consent of the
Bridge Company to the running of the wires on
the bridge, can be obtained. Messages will be
sent to all parts of the world, including Danvile.
The D. ii. IL w. r. R.-The passenger train
is now running regularly, con time," between
Sunbury and Catawissa. coal train makes q
round trip every day, bringing down large guam
titles OF coal, from Rothermel's Roberts Run
colliery, and we have no doubt that in the course
of a few months, another train will be required
to meet the demand for this superior coal.
PUsHING FoRwARp.-Thc officers of the d. II.
& w. r. r. are pushing forward the extension
and repair of that road with the utmost fupidity.
Its completion will be announced at an early
day. We hope that some arrangement will be
perfected to have bridge built across the river.
so that depot can be made in Danyvlc.

THE PROPAGATION OF FIsu.-The Harrisburg
State Journal, of recent date, notices the arrival
in that city of an engine tank, containing 29S
black bass, taken ont of the Potomac river at
Sandy Hook, Md. These fish were caught with
hook and line, and are intended to stock the
Tulpchochen creek, ut Reading We do not see
why an effort should not be made to introduce
the black bass in some of the numerous creeks,
or in the Susquehanna, at or near Sunbury.
They are said to be he most easily propagatcd
of any Of the flnny tribe, while the quality is
said to be finer than any other. We believe if
an effort We're to be made, sufficient amount
could be raised by subscriptions to place large
number of this excellent fish in our river and

CoAL.-The Muncy Lsu,,i,sary in noticing the
rumor of recent discoveries of anthracite coal in
the Muncy hills, says:
SEVERAL of our citizens who have some ac-
qu9intauce with geological science paid a visit
the other day to the so-called coal bed in the
Muncy Hills. They beg leave to report that, SO
fur as coal is concerned, they saw nothing so
suggestive of an important discovery as the con-
dltion of the fence for several rods along the
road near the opening of the said coal seam.
The rails and posts had been gnawed nearly to
pieces by the horses belonging to the hundreds
or perhaps thousands of visitors who had been
there to explore the premises. Beyond that, our
geological friends say, they saw no indications
of coal. When that curout coal resembling slate
was deposited, the remarkable fora OF the car
boniferous era had not yet been created. il was
probably several million years afterwards that
the ferns, slgillaria calamltes and lepdadendrons
of the coal period fourlshed. An extensive for
nation Of rocks still lies between the supposed
coal and the true coal system. Here our humble
geologists bowed profoundly end retired.
