A singular instance Of superstition came TO

from severe cough and expressed my opn-

that before calling in doctor she intended
to try a cure that she had long used in simi-

confer with one representing the other in
terests,
Mr.. Swoyer thought the committee ought
to be appointed because, when they met
with the others, plans might be suggested
that would he acceptable 10 all sides.
DR.. Linderman said he was not opposed
to the resolution, but he was not willing to
serve upon the committee, as it might com
plicate matters with the Board before the
close Of the year. He was satisfied that the
Lehigh operators would not be willing to
accept the allotment OF 1878 for 1879, and he
had taken the responsibility to inform the
Board Of the fact.
After some further discussion, the resolu-
ton was adopted, after being amended by
striking out the names of Messrs. Linder-
man and Wilbur.

In accordance with call issued few DAYS
since by Mr.. A. Pardee, a meeting of coal
operators shipping via the Lehigh Valley
r. r. was held in the Anthracite Building,
Bethlehem, on Monday afternoon, for the
purpose of appointing Il committee TO confer
with the representatives of the other coal
regions as 10 the management of the coal
business for 1879. Mr.. Pardee, the Chair
man, called the meeting TO order, and Mr..
Herman Hamburger acted as Secretary.
The Chairman stated that he had conven-
ed the meeting in consequence of receiving a
letter from Thomas Dickson, President, and
franklin b. Gowen, Secretary of the Board
Of Control, stating that DR.. Linderman and
Mr.. Wilbur, agents of the Lehigh coal op-
orators, had some reluctance TO enter upon
the discussion of the question of the manage
ment olthe coal trade for 1879, on the ground
that their authority to represent the mining
interests Of the Lehigh region expires with
laIS. They therefore request the appoint
ment of one or more gentlemen, 10 meet
several interests, with view of adopting
some plan for the management of the trade
in the future upon the expiration of the
present agreement.
The roll was then called, and the follow
ing gentlemen, representing nine-tenths of
lhc NolleIlco III tue region, were luund To be
present; Messrs; A, Pardee, Gen. Pardee,
Capt. Van Wicket, j. IL. Swoyer, A. Robin
son, 7. f. Walter, Mr.. A. j. Davis, Calvin
Pardee, Mr.. Nevils, DIR. Patterson, Samuel
Bonnell, DIR. Liuderman, Herman Hambur-
ger and NJ, n. Cooper.
j. II. Swoyer Offered the following:
Whereas, the operators and shippers over
the l.. V. r. r. are desirous Of entering into
an arrangement for the government Of the
anthracite coal trade for the year 1879
therefore,
Resolved, That the chairman appoint a
committee of three, who, in connection with
Messrs. Linderman and Miller, shall consti-
tute a committee TO cooperate with the re.
presentatives Of the other coal regions, with
a view of arranging a plan for the manage,
ment Of the anthracite coal trade for 1879
and that said committee report back to d
meeting Of the operators, to be called by the
chairman, the result OF such conference.
DIR. Lindernan thought the operators
should agree among themselves as to wha
they wanted.

prepared at this time to lay down anv plar

An Old Gods Acre.

1t is always interesting TO call up the past,
t. remember our fore fathers and to visit
their places of slumber and rest. Such an
Acre of God is opposite the farm house upon
the hill on the farm of Mrs. NJ. Guth in
Franklin township. This Gods Acre was
long since pIoughed by the hand of Death,
and sown in its iurrows-graves. The seed
of the future resurrection. This burial
ground is not cultivated This is right and
proper 1t is the acre of God. ltbelongs to
Him. In it is sown the seed from which
shall spring new and spiritual life.
No tombstone or monument marks the
resting place of the silent dead. No marks

A SUDDEN DEATH.

There is something terrible in the thought
of having our friends stricken down at our
side, without parting word Of endearment
or consolation-one moment at our side in
the flush ofvigorous life, cheering our hearts
with their loving sympathy; the next at our
feet, pale with death, deaf to our cries and
needless of our tears. Every excessively fat
person is in instant danger of such death.
