The Punxsutawney Spirit man tells
the following rat story, and youches for its truth
Squire straitia, Of Mecalmont township, found
in his barn, bunch OF rats-we never heard Of
rats being tied up in punches before, but we saw
this bunch and can youeh for the truth Of tho
statement, There were nine large full grown rats
in 1t, with their tails and tangled together,
two Of them being dead when found. Now, we
don't propose to assert that these unfortunate an.
imals were born IN a bunch, but we do say that,
judging from the physical development Of the
rats, we arc inclined 10 believe that they have
spen, the greater part Of their existence woven
together by inseparable ties. They were a nu.
merous rat.

Our VAST Coal FIELDS. The Har-
risburg Patriot says; .
The board Of commissioners Of the second geo
logical survey Of Pennsylvania have just issued
from the press Of the State printer report on
tho bitumneus coal fields Of Clearheld aud Jener-
son counties. The survey Of this part Of the
State has been condded to Franklin Platt, and Is
most important contribution TO the knowledge
OF the actual value and extent Of the workable
coal basins of western pennsy lvania. With the
knowledge to be obtained by a study Of this sur
vey there need be no errors made in investments
In coal lands. The Importance OF the work in
hand will be better appreciated for the reason
that Il substitutes facts for the guesses which have
heretofore been made on insufficient data. Some
remarkable and most important additions and
corrections Of geological data heretofore consid-
cred we'll established have boen made by Prof.
Lesley. The value Of this work Is that 1t is not
theoretic but the substitution Of actual knowledge
I, r scientific deduction.

ELECT Coon MEN.-The most i'm.
portant Office 10 be filled at the approaching mu-
nicipal election Is that Of Assessor and assstan,
Assessor. Those elected will be called upon to
make the tri-ennial assessment for 1877 aud fix
the value Of all real estate for three years to come
Taxpayers will sec the necessity OF selecting the
very best men in the respective boroughs aud
townships for these important positions. Good
men should be elected to every office, but there is
none so important as those we have indicated. 1t
Is very unfortunate that Assessors are not elected
for three years, and in such manner that they
would be called on to make the trienniai assess-
meut the last year. We care not how much n
man knows when elected, be still knows great
deal more after he serves two years as Assessor
than he did the hrst year. By assessing the per-
sonal property for two years, travelling around
among his neighbors during that time, he becomes
familiar with the value OF property, aud knowing
the fact tha, In year or two be Is compelled to
pass judgment on this farm or that house, he nat
