An arbitration was held at the
Broad way House, ,on Tuesday, in which
Mr.. Boyer, of Catasauqua, was plain
tiff, and Mr.. Adam Christman, of Penn
Forrest, was defendant. Last spring
Mr.. g. ordered three hundred bushels
of lime from Boyer. When the lime
arrived at the depot, Mr. q. Immediate
ly hauled it on his farm, which took
about one week. Several days after
Mr.. q. hauled large quantity Of water
to the lime pile and endeavOred to slack
it, bat like the horse he couldn't make
it drink. He then put some Jumps Of
lime il bucket and poured hot water
on, but it wouldn't slack either. The
lime lay exposed to the rains and
weather but nothing would bring it to
pulverized condition. Mr.. Z. then
wI.te Mr.. b. that he couldn't use the
! lims, and ordered some of his Lands to
haul it to the woods, which was done
where 1t has lain ever since. The con .
| sequence was little law suit before
one of your Justices, and an award in
favor Of plaintiff. The defendant ape
pealed to court, and soon after entered
rule to arbitrate, when the case came
up for hearing again on Wednesday.
Before the Justice, Cbristman offered
TO settle for one half and call it square,
but the plaintiff wanted every cent or
nothing, which latter they generally
get. On Wednesday, however, the
defendant didn't offer one half, but
claimed damages to the amount of about
thirty dollars for hauling the lime from
the depot, he having contracted to pur-
chase good lime instead OF stones. The
lime was exhibited In large Jumps, hav'
ing been exposed for nearly year and
it was proven conelusively that II
wouldn't slack. The case occupied the
whole day and was conducted for the
plaintiff by Rapsher and Glace, Esqs.
and by Albright and Freyman, Esqs.
for the defense. At the conclusion oi
the argument the Arbitrators took thu
matter in hand and after short de-
liberation decided In favor of the de
feDdant.

The Coal Trade.

The most noticeable feature in the anthracite
coal trade the past week is an agreement among
the associated produclne and carr. ing com.
panies to extent the time of the coal suspen
sion in the producing regions from the lime first
fixed upon. the 10th inst, TO the 10th insI,, and
to limit the contract amount of coal TO not less
than five thousand tons to individuals and to
ten Thousand tons to Companies There
was some satisfaction as to the unlimited
amOunts IN this matter as originally announ-
ced. hence the change at the last meeting of the
aocociated companies as above stated. With a
reorganization Of the schuylklll Coal Exchange
OF Phila, effected within the past week. the ar
rangements for the governments Of the local
trade is supposed 70 be satisfactorily adjusted
for the season. A to the coal trade directly. II
continues without any general interest. The
very mild weather tends TO lessen the demand
for domestic uses, and production In all the sew
