path for distance of FIVE miles, its course
being northeasterly. Stone walls and
other fences were strewn in every direc

was cut through dense forest Of large
trees, and several buildings were thrown
down. Among the buildings unroofed
was the boarding house of the Wilbra,

Valuable Discovery in Alaska

COAL FOUND IN OUR NEW POSSESSIONS
We were yeterday shown in the of;oo

coal was brought to the city few d,r0
ago by German, the captain of co.:.

to the broker, who Immediately bacama
interested in the matter, as the perce;vaS
at g lance the purity and value of tho
coal. The coal beds from which tbS
specimens were obtained are situa,os
several miles inland, according to tha
captains story. There are vast banks ~

all that is necessary is to send up force
of men and begin cutting. Some indians

he went with them to the place wbaro.
they got the specimens. He was surnri.,
ed to see vast banks of coal on the surface
and to all appearances there was no lim;,
to the extent Of the beds. He immedi,,,l,
took steps to secure the title to the min.
and obtained some specimens of the coal
which he brought with him to this cit,
to submit to experts for their opipion
He first showed his specimens to Mr.
Burling, who Immediately became i'm.
pressed with the Importance of the dis.
covery, and secured an interest in the
mine. The captain sailed for Alaska a
few days ago, and will soon return with
load of the coal
If his reports are verified on his return
force of men will be Immediately set at
work to develop the mine. Experienced
persons say that the coal, if is all of as
fine quality as that brought to the city is
worth $40 per ton at a low estimate We
understand that it is only few miles
from a good barber, is easily accessible.
and can be brought to the wharf in this
city for about So per ton. IF these re.
ports prove true, the discovery is one Of
great importance, and is scarcely surpass
ed by the reports concerning the recent
discovery of diamonds, which has been
creating such an excitement in this city

Mr.. Thomas V. Cooper, of the Del
aUdre County american, has just return
ed from an extended trip through New
York and Northern Pennsylvania. This
is what he says of his observations
"The interest in the Presidential cam
paign seems to be universal, and travellers,
though strangers, freely approach each
other for an inter change of opinion
The stories Of Republican detection in
the northern counties of Pennsylvania
are greatly exaggerated, Bradford aud
Tioga showing few Greeeyites, Nor
cumberland, usually Democratic, being
"nip and tuck" between the opposing par
ties. This adjoins the home of Buck
alew, but many of the war Democrats re-
fuse to support him-indeed, they for
merly cut down his majorites very much,
and last year elected Republican candi
dates, completely destroying the old
Democratic majority of 500. The work
ingmen, headed by Sylvis, one of the real
ly remarkable men Of his class, also op
pose Buckalew and Greeley, the organiza-
tion beliving both to be untrust worthy
In New York the same state of affairs exist
as in Delaware county, with somewhat
greater percentage of Republicans in favor
of Greeley, but with apparently the major
ity of the rank and file of the Democracy bit
terly opposing and demanding representa-
tion in the Louisville convention. The
Grant Republicans constitute the great
mass, and they talk freely and confident
ly of their ability to carry the State. A
free talk with men of all classes in nor.
thern Pennsylvania aud western New
York, with travellers from all sections, has
convinced us that the Greeley movement
is an immense bubble held together Jy the

y say that the influx of the denizens of the
large cities has been greater in our midst
this season than at any previous time, still
we are sorry to state that the spirit of i'm
provement-in the building line at least
has not been as brisk as it should have been
Among the most prominent, we would men
ton the building recently erected and now
occupied by VIM. S. Flory, as stove and
tinware store. This structure, which stands
on the corner of Main and Centre streets, is
frame building, three stories high, and
certainly proves an ornament to that portion
of the town. The main store room, which
is handsomely fitted up is 4Sx24 feet, where
everything, from pepper box to stove
and fixtures complete, can be obtained.
From this room we pass into the polishing
department, room 24xl2 feet, and well
adapted to the purpose. From thence we
pass into the work shop or manufacturing
department, where all is hustle and tumult
This room is supplied with machinery of the
most modern patterns, for the manufacture
of tinware. Messrs. Benjamin Flory, John
Kleckler and John White, comprise the
working force now employed, and they pre-
sent cozy appearance in their new quarters.
We were then conducted to the stock de-
partment, room G0x24 feet, on the second
floor, which We found well filed with every
thing in that line Of trade. The third floor,
contains but one room, also 60x24 feet,
which is to be handsomely fitted up, and
occupied as a lodge room by Barger Lodge,
A. Y. NJ, of this place. In fact, the whole
building was constructed with view to neat
ness and convenience, and it requires but a
visit to determine how well he has succee-
ded
The frame dwelling, now in course of
erection down town, and designed as a resi-
dence for Mr.. VIM. Wallace, is rapidly
looming up. Mr.. w. has also broken ground
for another frame house on the alley adjacent
to Walton street, at the lower end of the
borough
Mr. VIM. Huntsman's dwelling on Centre
street, is rapidly approaching completion.
NJ. NJ. Burnet, esq, is laying a new brick
pavement in front of his vacant lot on Centre
