The Coal Trade for 1872.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that the coal trade promises to be large and prices low for 1872. The total production of all kinds of coal for the week ending the 9th inst, was one hundred and eighty one thousand and nine hundred and ninety one tons, and for the year, six hundred and ninety-two thousand and eight hun dred and seventy-one tons, against seven hundred aud fifty-sever thousand and two hundred and seventyfour tons to cores bonding time last year, showing a decrease of sixty-four thousand, four hundred and three tons. The trade the past week pre- scented no new feature. The partial and temporary strike at Wilkcsbarrc, in. conse- quence of a reduction of ten per cent. on wages, has been adjusted and the men, so far as they had gone cut, have resumed work, the only condition being a reduction in the price of powder and oil. h regard to strikes, the Ledger thinks that the pros- pect is favorable. Not that the operators establishing better understanding between themselves, but because the organization of the miners appears to be practically broken up. Differences of race and religion have apparently proved more powerful than the common interests of labor. The Welsh miners dstrust the Irish, and the Irish refuse to be guided by any propositions save those emanating from their own coun- trymen. Thus the heretofore governing rules of the associations are dead letter, with little probability of resuscitation to any effective result.

Falls Village.

Falls Village.
 Mir. Editor:- William Preston, the cham pion hunter and fisher of this region, met with serious and almost fatal accident one day this week. He, with his son and Almond Thorp of Lime Rock, were hunting foxes, and while going through the woods on Prospect Hill' being about ten feet in advance of Thorp, the latter's gun caught in the brush, causing the discharge of one barrel, the whole charge striking Preston on the back of the head. Seventeen shot passed through the scalp, striking the skull bone, following over 10 the top of his head, thence out, making 34 ugly holes in the scalp. Preston reeled backwards, but Thorp throwing down his gun caught him before he fell, at the same time exclaiming, Oh God, Bill, have killed you The wounded man although suffering the most excruciating pain and covered with blood, managed to walk to bis home, half mile or more, almost unaided. MT. Thorp, with that ouickness of thought. and readiness to execute, for which he is noted, proceeded for Dr. Gillett, who carefully dressed the wounds Upon examination it was dis covered one shot had lodged in his neck, and so deep it will probably have to remain there 1 understand this is the second time he has been shot. Up to the time of writ ing he has been doing well. little girl, four years old, daughter of w.. c.

THE HOUSEHOLD PHYSICIAN. origi- nal work, by Ira Warren, A. M., M. D. fellow of the Massachusetts medical society, &c. This original and invaluable medical work, was prepared expressly for the use of physicians, families, mariners, planters and travellers. The book contains a full description in plain English language, of all the diseases incident to men, women and children, giving the nature, causes and remedies for the same :--treating upon four hundred different subjects. It is also illustrated with three hundred and thirty-six fine engravings. This most valuable and Interesting book, of which one hundred and twenty-five thousand copies have been put into 125,0OO families, has just been revised sand also enlarged by full and plain system of the Homeopathic practice, by that eminent professor Dr. A. E. Small of the Hahnemann Medical college. This book needs only to be examined to be ap- preciated. It is singular fact, but true, that there is no subject of importance of which even the most intelligent of atS- community know so little as that which most concerns them, the care of their health. Dr. Brown a physician of long practice and late surgeon in the army who has sale of this work for Connecticut, is now offering it to this community.

Norfolk.
 Dr. c. Brown delivered lecture on at the Congregational Church in this village Sunday evening before large audience, in which, among others he advanced the new and startling idea to most of us, that the use of tobacco was as injuri- ous and more to De depJored than the mode rate use of intoxicating spirits. He said he should prefer a son of his should frequent a dram shop and occasionally take a dram than to be habitual tobacco user. A ma jority of our citizens have always thought the contrary. gang of workmen of the c. w. R. R., while running below the Summit on hand car at high rate of speed to clear an approaching train, were thrown from the track and considerably bruised. Although no one, l believe, was seriously hurt, it was, however a pretty close shave, and gave those engaged first class scare, free gratis they probably will know better another time. There is nothing like experience, you know, to learn some people common sense. Thermometer this (Tu"sday) morning at z o'clock indicates

 To-day being one of the very pleasantest of the season, and not seeing of late any correspondence from Kent and wishing this place not to be behind the times in that respect, we sauntered out in pursuit of items but we do not blame your cores pondent for not communicating more freely for find items scarce. The first place visit ed was our humane friend c. H. Gaylord found him neat as a pink and waiting on his customers in his humane manner, which shows his business to be in flourishing condition. Next we called at the big store, so called, of Fuller & Co.,, and found them full of customers. Charles was flying around as fast as possible, but William was at work on some job that takes time, but will be all correct when he gets through, at least, we suppose so, for we did not see him. Called on Mr. Conn, and found him sitting by the stove, waiting for somebody to come in. He did not have to wait long, for soon in came Dr. Pratt, and when the doctor comes around, storytelling is the topic. We understand the rumor that Mr. Conn has sold out is not so. F. A. Mallory's store we found closed, he being about at Litchfield attending court. We understand that our friend of the feed store has pur- chased bis stock, and will offer it for sale low to any body that wants and close out the stock at bargains. We called at the feed store but found Nr. Edwards not at home, but c. w. Roraback with his large and open counteuance was there and ready to show and explain the difference between cob meal and corn and oats, also, at the same time, bragging how many oysters he has sold, and how many clans and fresh fish he is going to sell next week. It is worth while some times to have an abund- ance of confidence, but we tell him, take heed lest he fall," for when fish, oysters, Sc, are not fresh the price will suddenly faU. .... The pulpit of St. Andrews Church was, yesterday, supplied by G. s. Bennett from New Milford, a young man fitting for the ministry. Although his sermons were not his own productions, they were deliver ed in manner that held the attention of his hearers to a great degree. We hope to hear him again. The Rev. A. G. Crosby has been absent from bis charge for while, leaving it in the care of the deacons...... The meases are very thick here, but, as yet, we hear of no very severe sickness, sttribu:ing It to the skill and efficiency of Dr. King, as staver off of disease. A VISITOR.

THE USE OF A SIGNATURE.-An exchange says that there is banker in Philadelphia by the side of whose handwriting even the penmanship of Horace Greedy seems sym metrlcal and beautiful. Well, this banker was persecuted by life insurance agent who wanted him to take out policy The victim stood l. for while, but finally one day ne kicked the agent out of the office. Then the tormentor began to send notes to the unhappy wretch, explaining the endow- ment system, and asking if any one of his aunts ever suffered from torpidity of the liver. At last the banker wrote to the heartless fiend as follows: '' You diaboli- cal scoundrel, if you send another line to me l will come around to your office and blow out what little brains you have !'' When the life insurance man received this, he turned il up and down, and held it side ways, and stood before a mirror with it, and examined it with microscope, and called In six or seven experts but after all he couldn't determine with any degree of certainty what he meant, to ascertain, he presented it at the paying tellers desk in the bank, and that worthy, without mo- ments hesitation, paid 5000 dollars on it., believing it to be d cheek for that amount. There is one agent less in that city than there was week or two ago, and one more banker who betrays symptoms of insanity when the subject Ot life insurance is men toned in his presence.

Winsted.

Winsted.
 The sons and daughters of Massachusetts, residing in Winsted and vicinity, held their fifth annual social gathering at the Hicks House in Winsted (east village) on Thursday evening. The call included ''all husbands whose former or present wives were born in Massachusetts, and all wives whose former or present husbands were born in that state, " and their families. Lying near the Massa- chusetts border, and being smart public spirited place likely to invite the contemplating young from the Berkshire farming dis tricts, Winsted has attracted many of them over the line Not few of them have been attracted hlther, also, by the Connecticut girls and have married good Litchfield coun- ty wives, and settled in Winsted, or that vii cinity. From these people goodly con- pany was gathered in the Hicks House par lors, and some time was spent in social con- verse, after which supper was served, about one hundred and twenty-five persons occu- pying the tables. Gathering again in the parlors. the assembly was called to order by Mr. A. M. Perkins, president of the associa- ton, who gave brief poetical sentiment expressive of pride in Massachusetts and her institutions, and introduced the Rev. Dr. Joseph Eldridge, of Norfolk, native of Barnstable county, Mass, but for nearly q half century a resident of Connecticut. Dr. Eldredge spoke of the propriety of such associations and gatherings as this, and of the just pride that the sons and daughters of Massachusetts might feelin the place ot their birth. He eulogised the ''Old Bay State, ' named some of the prominent statesmen, poets, literary men and divines the state had produced. He said he never heard good thing accomplished by native of that state without feeling proud that it was son or daughter of Massachusetts who had per formed the good work. The Rev. Thomas J. Bradstreet, of Thomaston, also made an excellent speech expressive of love for his native state, and pride in her position among her sister states. Brief speeches were also made, in response to calls, by Hiram c. Brown, of Riverton, and s. A. Hubbard and Charles I. Tremaine, of Hartford.
 The following officers of the association were elected for the ensuing year :-Presi, dent, A. M. Perkins vice president, c. s. Norton secretary. Ellis B. Baker-all of Winsted. Executive commitee-J. H. Norton, $. s. Newton, E. B. Parsons, Chas. Stephens, Ensign Stephens, of Winsted H. c. Brown, of Riverton J. B. Foster, of New Hartford P. F.

Andrews, Litchfield {; R. R. Noble at large.
 The Gilbert Cornet Band furnished music during the evening. After the exercises ir the parlors portion of the company retired to their homes, while others closed the fes tival by dancing till the small hours. .-Hart ford Courant.

Another Cure for SnlnII-Pox.


 A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette vouches for the efficacy of the following treatment of smallpox
 Take clean common barley, boil it in water the same as you would rice, until it bursts, pour off this water, and use it ex- clusively for your drink, adding to each days drinking of this water, fifteen grains of saltpetre. Continue to use this drink (which should be about milk warm) until the pocks make their appearance in the skin, which will be about three days after the fever sets in. The effect of using this drink is to cut off the backing fever. Now stop the use of this drink, and take good wine reduced with water, and sweetened with loaf sugar. Using this as drink stimulates and fills the pocks. The use of wine, water, and loaf sugar should always be commenced when the pocks make their appearance in tbe skin. Use no other medicine and partake of light diet. This mode of treatment was prescribed by the celebrated Surgeon Dixon, of Ireland, and has been used in many cases with success in this country.
