MRS. ALLEN of Calaveras, Cal, lives on
the stage-road between Railroad Flat and
West Point, and she dreams strange dreams
On Oct. "A her house was entered by a robber
during her absence, and her watch and
pocketbOok were stolen. That night she saw
In her dream a thief enter her house, take the
watch, and follow the trail up the river. In
the morning she whistled for her dog, mount
ed her horse, and followed the trail up stream.
A ride of mile brought her to an old aban-
doned quartz mill, and in the ruins she dis
covered the man she han seen in her dream.
She accused him of the theft, but he stOutly
denied having committed 1t. Shedetermined
to go to West Point for an officer, but after
proceeding a short distance resolved to make
the tramp give up the plunder at all hazards.
When she reached the mill the man had gone,
but with the aid of the dog she overlook him
about half a mile up the ridge. Dismounting
and arming herself with a stout club, she
coolly informed him that she knew he had the
watch and money. She let loose the dog
upon him, and dealt him a blow upon the
head which felled him to the ground. She
found her watch and her wallet in his boots
Mrs. Allen of Calayeras then went home TO
sleep-perchance to dream.

Consequently, they never fell from perfection.

race existed long before Adams time. He
continued: "We must read the Bible intelli-
gently. Some parts of. 1t are Improbable,
other parts obscure; while still other portions
are Of incalculable value. 1t devolves upon
us as Unitarians to read the Bible Alright, and
TO obey the sacred precepts; for those who
do their duty the most faithfully on earth
will have the approval Of God, and will be
the most blessed in the great hereafter" After

THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE for the
last week reported, to the 18th instant, shows
falling off on that of the previous week of
11s,s20 tons. This decreased tonnage for a
single week shows about the true condition
of the coal market. 1t is dull and weak as
10 prices. The supply of coal is in excess of
the demand, and thus the future of the trade
is without encouragement or buoyancy.
About the only apparent end to this cOndi-
tion of affairs is through the operation of the
monthly auction sales of coal at New York,
the effect of which sales is to destroy conf
dence in prices and to steadily, one by one
crush out of competition the smaller and
weaker operators. Tomorrow the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company will sell 10000 tons
and the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad company announces that it
Will sell 100000 tons of Scranton coal at pub
lie auction on Wednesday, while il is re-
ported that the managers of the Delaware and
Hudson will not offer any coal at auction
this month, and that they will reduce ex-
penses as far as possible. 1t is not probable
that there will be any marked activity in the
coal trade during the present year, though it
is not thought possible to produce coal az any
lower prices; but orders for coal are not
likely TO Increase so long as there are Grip
pied holders of stocks on the market whose
necessities may force them to sell at less
than the present cost of production. The line
and retail trade here is nearly steady, and
prices of the several sizes OF coal are un-
changed.-t Phild. Ledger, 20th.
