Coal and Iron.

There is very little activity in the
coal trade. The demand from manu-
facturers has about ceased for the sea-
son, and that from retail dealers
which is entirely for family sizes,
Stove, Egg, and Chestnut are Light
Purchasers are very slow in their
movements. We think, however, that
there is more business doing than deal
ers are willing to acknowledge. 1t has
become habit to cry hard times, be-
cause orders do not come piling in fast
er than they can be attended to. A
fair, steady trade does not seem to sat
isfy dealers any more nothing but a
grand rush will do. This should be
corrected A good, healthy business
is much more to be desired, with prop
er time to consider credits and attend
to the details of trade. Vast numbers
of people are out of employment, col
-lections are slow, manufactures are
working on half time, and trade and
business are demoralized. Under
such state of affairs, what can be ex
pected? 1t would not be polite to ex
tend our business too much under the
circumstances, Not knowing exactly
when a northeaster may blow up, the
less sail we are carrying the better.
The general position of the market
remains substantially the same as for
some time past. 1t is very diffinlt to
predict the future of the iron trade,
but of late it has been the opinion of
parties we'll conversant with the OPP
erations here and in Europe that
things are about to improve. The
navigation will soon close, and con-
sumers will, no doubt, make arrange
ments for obtaining low freights on
winter stock. Until now, the inquiry
has been very slight though, and only
to supply immediate wants; but CON
sumers being almost without stocks
on hand, this cannot ccntinue.-Coal

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.

The most promising place within the
same distance outside of Frostburg is Key
ser City. 1t isa central point on the B. &
o. r. r., five miles beyond Piedmont and
the county seat of Mineral county, w. Va.
The b. & o. r. II. Co. have purchased
about 80 acres of land here, upon which
they are building shops for constructing
and repairing locomotives, cars, &c.
They are also building large cattle-pen
for watering and feeding the cattle which
become thirsty and hungry in their passage
from west to east.
The round-house will be sos feet in d-
ameter. Much time and labor will be re-
quired to complete it, though a large num-
Der of mechanics are working at it us fast
as possible.
Knowing that this place will become
more prosperous and that the principal
part of the work now done in Piedmont
will be done here the people are buying
lots and building on them as fast as they
can. Mr.. 7. d. Davis, very worthy gen
tlcman and owner of the land upon which
the city is located, has sold within the last
three months SAL 900 worth of lots Stone
masons and carpenters are building in
every direction
Among the many splendid editices may
be mentioned the court house and Jail In
the latter a gentleman of superior artistic
taste is confined for buying a quart of
whiskey on another mans account. l saw
a specimen of the unfortunate mans skill
"a painting, by brush made from the
hair of his head, which would command
the admiration of all who can appreciate
the refined and elegant.
The KEYS House" is splendid resort
for travellers. Mr.. Keys is jovial, good
naturcd old gentleman. l must also give
him credit for saying that 1.-THE prettiest
girls in the world are found in Maryland"
The place is named after Mr.. Keyscr,
Vice President of the B. & o. r. r. Co.,
and gentleman whose interests will slim
ulate its growth. The city represents
preachers, doctors, lawyers and editors is
beautifully located upon level plain, sur
rounded by high mountains, with New

SAwDUsT BRANDy.--A German
chemist has succeeded in making a
first rate brandy out Of sawdust. We
are friend of the temperance move
ment, and we want it to succeed, but
what chance will it have when a man
can take a rip-saw, and go out and
get drunk with a fence-rail? What
is the use of prohibitory law, if a
man is able to make brandy-smashes
out of the shingles on his roof, or il
he can get delirium tremens by drink
ing the legs of his kitchen-table
Y GU may shut an inebriate out of a
gin-shop, and keep him away from
taverns, but when he can become up
roarious from boiled sawdust and
dessicated window ills, any effort at
reform must necessarily be failure
1t will be wise, therefore, if temper,
ance societies will butcher the Ger
man chemist before he goes any
further.-Erchongc.

RARE DEvoTIoN.-Five years ago
young Welshman became enamored
of, and soon betrothed to a young
girl in his own country, and desired
to marry her and emigrate to the
United States to seek fortune for
them both The young man was but
eighteen years of age and his betrothed
only fifteen, in view of which facts the
prudent parents OF the Young lady de-
clined to allow the proposed marriage,
but suggested that the young man en-
igrate alone, make his fortune and
then marry the girl Of his choice. Per-
haps, they though, too hat the attach
ment was as between children and not
likely to last, and t lat it had better
die out before marriage than after. If
they did however, they We're, as par
ents have been before and will be
again, mistaken ConGding in the
faithfulness of his ladv-loye and swear
ing fidelity to her, the Young man
left his home, came to this country
and settled in this county, where he
has been working hard from that day
to this with the one object in view.
a few weeks ago he sent money to
his betrothed and we suppose, assur-
ance to her parents that he was now
able to take care of her. At any rate
she left Wales and journeyed to the
United States alone, arriving at this
city yesterday, She was met by her
happy lover, and the twain with some
of the bridegroom expectant's friends
proceeded to the Clerks Office and pre-
cured a license, after which they were
married, and went to the home that
the FIVE years labor of the young man
had provided for them. Such devo.
ton cannot but be rewarded by Il life
of happiness, for the love that will re.
main faithful during five years of sepa
ration will smooth over all the rough
places in the earthly journey.-Cum

MARYLAND BlTUM1NovsCo AL--The
following significant paragraph lately
appeared in the Cape Breton Times
I'VE had always supposed that
among the various colheries in Nova
Scotia .apd Cape Breton, there could
be found stsaaa GOALS equal to any of
the soft Goals on TINS continent, but it
seems that the British Government
are so hard to please in the matter OF
coal, that none of the saany qualities
of that article in the provinces are
suitable for the use of II. M. ships.
and lately two cargoes have arrived
at Halifax from Baltimore and others
are expected A pssson might be
forgiven for thinking that either in
Scotland, Wales, or Nova Scotia q good
suality of coal could have been pro-
cured, and that there is no necessity
for importing from the United States.

RATs.-To Danish rats, plant aspho-
del near the barn or stable where they
are, or put some in their holes. Rats
have such an aversion to this plant
that they will quit the premises where
it is. Il they are in drains or in cell
lars, scatter sulphate of iron "copper"
as in their runs. The copperas
should not be dissolved. 1t is our best
and cheapest disenfectant. The sui
phuric acid burns their feet, and they
leave in a short time without dying
This will be appreciated by every
housekeeper that has had to endure
the stencil of dead rat Exchange.

LABOR Lock OUT IN New YORK
On Saturday the boss coorers of
New York, after full understanding
of the matter, have discharged all the
employees who belonged to the Coop
ers Union. The origin of the trouble,
it is stated, began by the introduction
of some very stringent rules on the
part of the men. Among these were
rules that only a certain number of
bows should be employed to certain
number of men; that country hoops
were not to be used by the employers
and that they We're to those exclusive
ly made by the men; that the hours Of
work were to be eight each day, and
the pay 81; that when man began a
day ne was to finish it, and was not to
be paid for part of day or at any
time by the piece. A number of 9TH
er rules, equally strong, We're intro
duced. TO these the boss coopers
very strongly and decidedly objected,
and asked the men to tone them down.
This was refused, and the consequence
was as before stated. On the other
hand, the men state that business is a
very precarious means of livelihood ;
that they only have work about half
the year; and that as they are at the
mercy of these bosses, the only way
they can make themselves secure is
by the adoption of stringent rules,
which must not be broken. -Four hun
dred and fifty men are thus thrown
out of employment. Both sides are
determined, but no disturbance is an
ticipated Outside aid is expected by
the men.
A New York dispatch says that the
journey-men coopers on a strike ap-
pointed a committee DO attend the first
meeting of the Board of Trade and in
form its members of the circumstances
