AN AGED LADY BURNED TO DRATH-On Sa-

sOn-in-law, Mr.. Aaron Snyder, in Catasauqua.
was literally roasted alive. The particulars Of
the horrible occurrence are about as follows
1t appears that during the afternoon Mrs. Sny.
der went out ON short visit and before goiD g
she tillod up the stove with coal, and told her
mother 20 take the lids partly Off when the fire
was getting too hot or had burned up. There
was n o one IN the house but the aged lady. and
when Mrs. Snyder had left the house Mrs
BOgh. locked the door. 1t was supposed by
some that she went TO the stove 10 light her
pipe, and that spark tell on her clothes, set
ting them on fire and burning her so severely
that she was found dead when Mrs. Snyder
came home She was burned only above the
waist, and ner breast and face were terribly
erisped II is thought she inhaled some OF the
flames. and being an aged lady could not act as
pr rOmptly as person Of younger years. That
from the fact that she was found on the floor
near the door, which she no doubt tried to un.
lock, but In the excitement dropped the key, as
10 was also found on the floor She had tried to
extingdish the flames with some water in a
bucket, as some of the clothes were wet when
found. Nothing was noticed by the neighbnrs.
and no smell detected, 30 that when Mrs. Sny-
der came home she was the fret TO see what had
transpired during her absence. The door was
forced in ana a horrible sight presented one
winch plunged The family, relatives ami friends
into uns peakaDle distress. Mrs. Bogh was The

The weekly reports from the anthracite coal
regions are becoming quite mOnotonous, and
the characteristics Of the market show 80 little
chGnge from week TO week that extended com.
mont is unnecessary. There is tho same quiet,
the same large stock OF coal on hand, the same
indispositiOn to produce more and tne same dis
inclination to reduce prices that characterized
the market month Or six weeks ago Not only
Is this so, but the prospect Of n general resump.
ton OF active mining in any OF the coal re
gions IL more remote There Il little Just now
that Is encouraging for the future of the anthra-
cite coal trade. It's fate for the current year, at
least, IL in the hands Of the large carrying and
producing companies II they adhere TO the
pohcv Of the last three years, with n generous
confidence each IN the other, all will be well,
but If there Is wrangle and dissent arrangement
and loss seems now inevitable.
THE sCHUYLKILL COAL EXCHANGE.-A meet.
lug OF this body was held December 18th last,
at which 1t was decided to suspend mining Op.
eratIOns for one month at least. 1t was un-
derstood that resumption OF work would com.
mence Monday morning meeting of the Eek.
change was held on Thursday last to decide
what course to pursue but nothing was done,
as Their action will be based on the result of the
meeting of the coal combination In New YORK
1t Is rumored that unless very important con.
sessiOna are made by the New York companies,
the Schuylkil Exchange viii probably with.
draw from the combination. 1t is understood
that the limit of production agree upon was
reached aud pissed by these companies dnriug
tle long suspension IN the Schuylkill region last
year and that the scheuu g pl ices were not ad.
herei to This Dr each Of faith has hal o very
weakening affect upon the combination, ana it
IL not unlikely that the Schuyklll operators
will act Independently during the coming year.
About One-eigth of the cOllleries resumed
work Monday rhe only demand is for lump
steamboat and broken coal and those cOllieres
having orders for these sizes resumed II Is
stated that WORK viii probably be continued
but for Il short period, and that total suspen.
SION for at least two months will follow.
1t s stated that there II less demand for coal
at the present time than for several wears pre-.
viOus at the same period. There are said to be
10000 tons Of small sizes from egg down to
chestnut on hand, the largest stock ever held
before In January. The prices are ths same as
ruled in october, no advance having been made
since The Reading coal and Iron Company,
has IN store at Port Richmond 1900 tons OF
small siz 8 aud II 900 tons in its retail Yards in

Limit Your Wants.

From the nature of things, the in
come of most Of the inhabitants of the
earth must be limited, and indeed within
very narrow bounds. The product OF
labor throughout the world, if equally
divided, would not make the share OF
each individual large. 1t is impossible
that every one should be called 0ch.
But it is by no means impossible to be
independents. And what is the way to
compass this GLORIOUS privilege, as
Burns appropriately designates 81 it 7
The method is very simple. 1t consists
in one rule Limit your wants; make
them few and inexpensive. To do this
would interfere but little with your real
endowment. It is mostly matter OF
habit. You require more, or You are
satisfied with less, Just as you have &C
customed yourself to the one or the
other. Limit your wants, estimate their
cost, and never exceed it, taking pains
always to keep inside of your income.
Thus you will secure your lasting inde-
pendence. Young men, think ''of this.
A great deal of the happiness of your
life depends upon it. After having your
money, spend it as you choose, honestly.
but be sure to make it first.

The Wife's Appeal.

Since love, dear lord, lies dead within your
eyes,
And pity speaks not in single tone,
And no fond thought makes kind your cruel
touch,
Take sharp sword and slay me. Imust die
Alb! once my heart was like the rounded moon
Reflected in still waters now it breaks,
Tossed by the whirling eddies Of despair
Sweet were the days Of youth, and sweete,
yet
The golden summers when your love wa:
strong,
Before Ohana bloesomed into flower.
But when that brightness came saw yen,
Bend like slender branch beneath the bird
That, flushed with spring and weary Of ia,
fight,
Sinks, soft as snowflake, on the rosy world.
Dreams the fair dove among the quiet trees,
Or speeds in sunny splendor DER the fields
What life mofe free and full Of ofpleassnt things;
I am foolish bird whose mossy nest
Is burned to ashes, and With wounded wing
fit through flaming woods in pain and fear
Is there shelter in the withering world {?
Where shall 1 GO What friend can comfort
me7
Oh, husband, love or kin me whore I lie!

Let us HeIp One Another.

This little sentence should be written
on every heart and stamped on every
memory. It should be the golden rule
practiced not only in every household,
but throughout the world. By helping
one another we not only remove thorns
from the pathway and anxiety from the
mind, but we feel sense of pleasure ipo
our own hearts, knowing we are doing q
duty to fellow creature. A helping
hand, or an encouraging word, Is no loss
to us, yet it is benefit to others. Who
has not felt the power of this little SEN
tence2 Who has not needed the en-
couragement and aid of a kind friend :
How soothing, when perple1ed with
some task that is mysterious and bur
densome, to feel gentle hand on the
shoulder and to hear kind voice whls-
pering: "Do not feel discouraged. L
see your trouble-let me help you. "
What strength is inspired, what hope
created, what sweet gratitude is felt, and
the great difficulty is dissolved as dew
beneath the sunshine. Yes, let us help
one another by endeavoring to strength
en- and encourage the weak and lifting
the burden of care from the weary and
oppressed, that life may glide smoothly
on and Die fount of bitterness yield
sweet waters; and He, whose wiling
hand is ever ready to aid US, will reward I
our humble endeavors, and every good
deed will be as "bread cast upon the
waters to return after many days, II not
to us, to those we love. p,

A Fish Story.

A Florida correspondent OF the At
lanta Herald, in the course OF an inter
esting communication regarding Florida
fisheries, says: The best fishermen Ii
Florida are the pelcans and ospreys. a
pelican consumes about peck OF tlsh 9
day. They flock about the. straits ano
iniets by thousands. Surprising there
are 2, 600, 900 pelicans in FtorldaIand q
there are certainly more than that-they
would eat 100000 bushels OF fish eacn
day, or 1872, 100000 bushels per year;
The millions upon millions OF white and
blue Cranes herons, curlews, gulis' nsn-
hawks, kingfshers, and other water
fowl. devour thousands OF bushels OF
fish every twenty -four hours. An eao e1,
perienced man estimates that ?oo,ooO
bushels of fish a day are required 70
feed the birds of Florida alone: inns
would make 225, 500, 600 bushels each
wear. Add to this the billions OF fish
swallowed by sharks, bass and others,
and the sum total will reach nearly
1000, 100000 bushels destroyed by
feathered and fnny fishermen on the
peninsula in twelve months. At tirst
glance these figures appear enormous
but let any man make his own estl-
mate, and carefully figure it up, and ne
will find them under instead OF over.
