The Coal Trade.


The situation in the anthracite coal
regions remains unchanged from what
1t was last week. Beyond the fact that
we know that coal production in the
Striking regions must begin sooner
or later, and that, therefore, we are
now nearer resumption than q week
ago, the future In this regard seems
just as uncertain and, resumption as far
removed as it then was. The latest
news gives no promise of settlement of
existing difference between the miners
and the operators, and little or no min
ing, or, indeed, labor of any kind. is
being done at the mines In the Schuyl- =
kill and Lehign coal regions. The cor
porators of Lackawanna and Upper
Luzerne are working their mines day
aud night and shipping loaded cars to
New York. The Delaware aud Hub
son Coal Company and the Delaware,
Lacka wanna aud Western Railroad Co.,
have issued circulars OF their prices for
coal for May, which shows On advance
VI tWOuby CCutc pei WI ihotCou VI htVCCu
the usual advance. This advance in
price will no doubt continue until the
regions go to work, when the usual
programme will De adopted. The prices
Of coal at R0ndout and at Hoboken are
both the same-Lump, $4 80; steam
er, "a 90; CRATE, IS; egg, IS 81; stove,
IS go, and chez tnut, "a so. at Newc
burg the prices of Pennsylvania Coal
Company's coal have been fixed at 81 S5
for lump and steamer, 81 95 for CRATE
$5 O5 for egg. S5 So for stove, and $4-
so for chestnut. Coal is quite scarce in
this city, bnt rigid economy in its use
has prevented any serious incOnven-
lence from short supply.-Pbila. Ledger,

JOhnsOn's Greek.

eEverything is going on pleasantly here
at this place. from dancing at Mansfield s
hall for the nimble limbs of youth, to the
services held at both churches for the de-
vout believer in better things than dancing.
We are holding quarterly exercise at the
Methodist church, the present time Crops
are looking well, thanks to the copious
rains we have had Of late, preventing in
sects from doing much damage as they
would have done if the weather had re-
manned dry. The county is therefore ia
fiourishing condition, not much sickness,

A ssisting Nature.

DE coaXed, as II were, not driven For in
stance, e attempting to overcome constipa-
tlon or indigestion, violent, or what physic-
ians call, by way of euphony, "heroic /"
treatment, is sure to defeat the purpose in
view, which is, or should be, to permanent
~ remedy the evil. The use of drastic ca
thartlcs IS especially to he deprecated, for
although they temporarily overcome cos
tlveness, yet the intestines are so weakened
ana lnfiamed by them as to be rendered un-
ut to perform the elective junction properly.
How much better to assist nature in such a
case with such mild and salutary aperient
as Hostetter's Stomach bitters. which
strengthen at the same time that they re-
lleve the bowels. Not only is this result
achieved by their use, but the &C tivity of
the torpid liver is restored, the stomach
invigorated, and the entire system greatly

notice that their organizations have been
extinguished. The job was done by con-

Christian Association Convention. The
handful Of men present resolved themselves
into political convention. A platform
was adopted having two main supports
first, death to secret societies, and second,
the naming of God in the Constitution. A

Estimates for Building.

The following was gathered by observa.
ton and inquiry, while building house,
which we willingly give, for the benefit
of those desiring to build:
One thousand shingles laid four inches to
the weather will cover 100 square feet of
surface, and five pounds of single nails
will fasten them on. One-ffth more sid
ing and flooring is needed than the num-
Der Of square feet of surface to be covered,
because Of the lap in the siding and the
matching of the floor. One thousand lath
will cover seventy yards of surface, and
eleven pounds of lath nails will nail them
on. Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen
bushels of sand, and one bushel of hair
will make enough good mortar to plaster
one hundred square yards. A cord of stone
three bushels of lime, and cubic yard OF
sand will lay one hundred cubic feet of
wall. Five courses Of brick will lay one
foot in height on chimney, SIX brick in
course will make hue four inches wide
and twelve inches long, and eight bricks
in course will make a fue eight inches
wide and sixteen inches long.

WATERFOWL Directory.

Messrs. Pryor & Co.'S. Watertown .Drec-
tory, 1885, is now in the hands OF the
subscribers. The WATERFOWL Directory is
combined with the directory of the city OF
Madison and both together make fair
sized volume. The Directory was printed
at the Office Of the Madison Journal and
presents a very creditable typographical
appearance. In getting 10 the work the
compiiers appear to have made a thorough
canvass of the city and we believe the
directory will be found reliable and per-
feet in all its details. The General Direc-
tory shows A,760 names, an increase of over
500 over 1872. The General Directory of
Madison shows 3 .3l2 names, an increase of
422 over 1872

The Props of Celery.

Celery is a native of Norway and Swe-
den, where it grows near the edges of
swamps. This plant IS rarely cultivated
as it should be- hence the stunted speci-
mems which we find in our markets. A
deep trench should first be dug, at the
bottom of which a layer of sticks of wood,
say six inches thick, should be placed, a
drain pipe being placed endwise upon one
or both ends Of the layer. The sticks
should be then covered with about foot Of
rich mould, wherein the plants should be
set in row and about FIVE inches apart
The plants should be kept well watered
the water being supplied through the drain
pipes. so that passing though the layer of
sticks, which serves as conduit, the water
is supplied to the roots of the plant. In
earthing up, care should be exercised to
close the stems of the plant we'll together
WI th the band SO that no mould can get be
tween them. The earthing process should
be performed sufficiently frequent to keep
the mould nearly level with the leaves of
the outside stems. If these directions are
carefully observed, the plant may be grown
at least four feet in length, and this with
out impairing the favor, which deteriora-
ton is commonly noticed In overgrown
vegetables and fruits.

The annual meeting of the stockholde
of the Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railway
took place at the offices of the company in
Milwaukee last Saturday. June 18th More
than ordinary interest centered on this
election produced by the reported efforts of
the Russell Sage, or Eastern party, to get con-
troll of the corporation and run it TO suit
themselves. But as the time tor the elect
ion drew near, the weakness of the Russell
Sage interest wasquite manifest, until finally
falling IN their efforts to form a formidable
combination the Russell Sage party with
drew from the fght as useless, and it is
reported that Mr.. Sage gave Mr. Mitchell
the proxies of all his stock and told him 10
run the road as he thought best. The
following board of directors was elected
for the ensuing year:
Alexander Mitchell, of milwaukee; Selah
Chamberlain, of Cleveland Walter S. Cur
