SUSPENSION in The anthracite minin.
regions has seriously affected the opera
tons Of every anthracite furnace in The
Schuylkill region and the Lebanon Valley
as well Us those located in other parts %
the Stale east OF the Alleghenies. The
anthracite furnaces in that vicinity ara
making arrangements To introduce Con.
n~ellsville coke from the West to make VI
for the short supply Of anthracite. The
introduction OF Connellsyille coke will bt
one of the means rcsorted to-and as this
has already been tried with wonderful
effect in smelling ore, the end may be the
introduction OF an article TO compete with
anthracite coal, which viii forever here
after share a market that was heretofore
monopOlized by its miners. Experienced
manufacturers agree that it has become
absolutely necessary TO seek for other fuels
10 carry ON their business, as the frequent
interruptions in the anthracite coal trade
leave them in a condition either TO intro
duce otler fuels or suspend business.
Those who control the production of
Western coke see this, and are accordingly
pushing their trade eastward UHiORt0En

SOME weeks ago we gave a decisi o o
Judge Elwell, Of this State, in which he
held that under no circumstances could d
bolrd OF school directors levy a tax o.
more than ten mills. The school depart.
ment at Harrisburg dcmurred 10 this de-
cis;on, and the matter was taken to the
supreme court. We learn now that the
ruling OF Judge Elwell in respect to the
collection of school taxes has been re-
vcrsed by the supreme court and the in.
depreciation of the law by the school dc.
partment sustained. The effect of this de-
cision is to authorize school directors ID
assess a tax not exceeding thirteen mills on
the dollar for school purposes.

THE body of a woman, named Eliza
Kepner. was found in Metz's woods about
one and a half miles east of Chambers
burg last week, by some persons who were
canning. She was formerly an inmate Of
the poor house, but more recently had
been living in a private family which she
lel some time ago, and had not been heard
from until her body was found. Death
doubtless resulted from exposure, and the
Coroner's jury thought the body had lain
IN the woods about eight weeks.-ReFos-
