The Comical Folks Ball on the night of

the season. Upwards Of so couples as
sembled, dressed in every kind Of costume
imaginable, and the scene was grotesque
and comical beyond description. The
best of humor prevailed throughout the
entire evening, and nothing could excel
the mirth which followed every funny
episode connected with the portrayal of
the different characters. Hart and Love
joys Band surpassed their usual perfect
playing. The costumes engaged from Bos-
ton were gorgeous in the extreme, while
many of those gotten up at home were
equally nice. To mention any particular
ones would not be doing justice to the
whole, as all were good and particularly
free from vulgarity. The engine com.
pany for whose benefit the ball was given
are greatly pleased with the result and
feel grateful that til s, their final appeal
to the public, has been so successful,
Whitefield has never felt the want Of a
good hotel so much as this season, and
We feel doubly grateful to our out of
town friends who patronized us notwith-
standing the Inconvenience they were
subjected to for the want Of one.

Lancaster and vicinity were purchased
at the well known jewelry establishment
Of c. Z. Allen.
The presents were all elegant and costly,
although their chief value to the recipients
consisted in the expression of friendship
and good will OF the donors which they
were intended to represent. Although the
spacious parlors were crowded,s so perfect
was the arrangement Of details under the
direction Of the excellent host and hostess
OF the Lancaster House, the refreshments
were served with perfect system and the
least possible delay. In short the affair
from first to last was perfect success,
and the guests retired wishing the bride
snd bridegroom all possible happiness in
their onward journey toward the golden
milestone which it is hoped they may
reach safely and in the enjoyment ofhealth
and prosperity.

EARLY Use Of Coal.

At meeting of the Historical Society
Of Pennsylvania, Mr.. William J. Buck
read paper on "The Early Discovery Of
Coal in Pennsylvania" which contained
many interesting historical facts. The
first mention Of coal was in letter from
Mr.. Samuel 1ilghman, dated August IA,
1866, which speaks Of finding "an abund-
ance of small coal in the Wyoming Val
ley, which may sometime be Of great val
lue." Obediah and Daniel Gore, black
smiths, first put it into use by using it in
their forges about 177O. From the Penn
manuscripts, from which these facts are
drawn, it appears that Pittsburgh was laid
ont as early as 1869, and that the existance
of coal in the adjacent hills was known at
that time; also the fact that petroleum,
which has SO lately been utilized, was
known to exist in Venango county several
years before there was any knowledge of
coal. There has been much discussion as
to who was the discoverer of the Schuyl-
kill coal beds, the date of their discovery
being generally set down as about 1870,
but this discussion seems to have been un-
as map dated 177O located
coal beds in Schuylkill county. The first
successful attempt to burn anthracite coal
in grates appears to have been made by
Judge George Fell, Wilkes Barre in 1908.
The commencement of the coal trade is set
down as 1920, in which year three hun
dred. and sixty-fve tons were sent to Phila-
delphia. ,ur J.. gF n .Ir 80.
