1.-The above specimens of coal, like all
other Goals and ores whose analyses are
given in this report, were taken by our
selves from the places whence they are al
legged to be found nor were they specially
selected as apparently the best, but as; rep
resenting averages. There are, we believe,
not less than five beds of anthracite in YER
teal depth 1--WE estimate roughly of not less
than 200 feet, and it is enough for us to
know that for all practical purposes there
are three beds of anthracite of from 4 to 6
feet in thickness, and although thus far only
a short distance from the outcrop, still we
find that they improve as we enter, just as
rapidly as in the best anthracite bed in Penn
sylvania.'
The above analyses of anthracite speci-
mems from Briery Branch and Little Coal
Run, Virginia, compare favora5ly with care
full analyses made by the same gentlemen
from seven specimens taken from the same
field, and which may be seen In their report
of the above date. In connection with the
analyses referred to, Messrs. Booth
and Garrett further say: I'm regard to the
use of this coal for burning, we observe LIST,
That it has just that small amount of vola-
tile matter that classes it as an easy burn
ing anthracite ; ID, That while it has only
the PERCENTAGE of ash of good anthracite,
yet the color Of the ash proves that it is not
liable to form clinkers, c;nders, &c. We
burned Jumps of your coal on fire of
Schuylkill coal, and could not observe the
difference in their burning except in the
wilderness and looseness of your ash. 1t is a
true anthracite, that burns freely and well.
So far from its being small deposit, we
have shown that there are at least three

WHAT THE RAIN DID.

Coming from the matinee,
Once upon rainy day,
On the curb saw her clutch1ng her umbrella
tightly;
oh, she was surprising fair,
With her loosely knotted hair
Blown about at random, rising now, or falling
lightly.
Could 1 ever blame the wind
Which thus to me had shown
That all that wealth OF hair
Really was her own.
Bolder blew the clustering wind.
Wrong it was to have so sinned)
But it caught her dress and wound it round her
shapely figure,
So could not help but see
That she were number three
Surely such a dainty shoe could never have been
bigger.
CouldI blame the wind, ask,
Which thus displayed to view
Such dainty foot and such
pretty ankle, too?
All unmindful of the rain,
Turning then, looked again
Looked upon this pretty, this distracting maiden;
Fiercer still the wind it blew,
And the heavens backer grew,
Till the pretty maiden turned to me with bushes
overladen,
Saying: MAY be so bold
AS to ask you, sir, to hold
My umbrella for moment
While fix this horrid dress ?"
How thanked the wind in secret
As promptly answered "Yes?'
So it happened that we met
In the wind and rain and.wet,
Coming from the matinee-met and talked to-
together;
That was years and years age,
But man and wife know
Who never yet have grumbled over rough and
rainy weather,
For have the rain to thank,
And the elements Of heaven,
For the sweetest little wife
That to man was ever given.

excellent coking qualities. There are on
the Laurel River eight seams marked by the
outcrop, averaging about 81 feet OF coal ;
this is called the Quinnemont section.
These seams thicken as they leave the
river; for instance, the four feet vein
opened at Quinnemont, is increased in
thickness to over feet at the distance of
four miles up the Laurel Creek. At Lowell
there are eight seams with an aggregate
thickness of % feet, and at Hawks Nest
there are seven seams with A feet aggregate
thickness.
The New River cokes are ranked first
class for furnaces and cupolas, one-half ton
of coke being the usual amount used with
raw ores) to the ton of iron; the coal from
which this coke is made is exceedingly pure,
as the following analysis will show:

Narrowing Wheat.

The evidences in favor of narrowing vim
sowing clover seed, seems 10 be pretty con-
elusive. The Increase, as reported by prac-
tioal farmers, is fully twenty-five per cent.
These remarks are m ainly applicable to the
clay land: common in the Central States.
Why we think corn must have "a, great
amount of differentiation in order to loos--
en- and serate the soil so that the roots can
spread and find available plantrfo0d and
that no such after culture is required for the
wheat plants, is a matter that we shall not
try to explain. Yet We know thai these are
the facts in the case. og, 9sl, hsg sts,p
Now, the more rational plan would be, II
we find the wheat plants much raised by the
action of the frost, to go over the field with
a roller early in March. Then, as soon as
the pants have become firmly fixed in, their
places, take a Thomas Smoothing Harrow,
the teeth OF which are small and round and
slant backward, or take any other light .har-
row, and harrow and cross harrow, until the
surface is we'll pulverized to the depth. Of
two inches. Care must be taken that the
soil is not too wet, or it had better be LEFT
untouched. If so wet that . handful, when
compressed, will so adhere as to form ball,
it is too wet to work, and incalcnlable dam
age is annually done to the soil in, this llaqti-
tude by our imprudent haste to ''get in. the
crops. It would be much better to make
haste more slowly in this direction and pse
fertilizers to stimulate an early and rapid
growth of the plants so as to get, them well
rooted before exceeding warm and dry
weather begins. s sil r, ti,ssnea 7,s
If any one has any doubt abou. the prac.
ticability of narrowing wheat in the spring.
let him try but few acres. One farmer
says II find that by using the llarrow,iin
the spring the wheat tilers-that is, Stools
out better than when it is not cultiYated.,.'
Another writes that it gives the wheat
good start, and the narrowed portion fipens
as early as the unharrowed part, and has
heavier seeds. - Grange Bulletin. Il, j ssa7;.
