The "RIng" Busted.

IS MAJORITY FOR KEIsER Tuesday was
beautiful, and therefore an excellent day for
field work. In Mauch Chunk the election
passed off as quietly as the day dawned.
There was what one would term a still
fight" 1t was all on Councilman, and all
against VIM. II. Stroh, chief burgess and
Councilman for twelve years. His position
was considered impregnablei and Of course
his election sure. The man who opposed
VIM. ii. Stroh was our humble landlord of
the Broadway House, ]. S. Keiser. Of course
few Democrats and no Republicans thought
he would win, but Keiser had set down his
majority at 20, and he not only hit the mark
but had three votes to spare. J. s. Keiser is
a Democrat, but he was taken up by the in
dependent voters because of his equitable
views on all political subjects. He is no
politician, and has never held office directly
received from the voice of the people, He
was, however, deputy sheriff during his
brother, Peter Keiser's, administration, Mr..
Keiser was the man for the occasion. He
had 81 Republican majority staring him in
the face to overcome in order to assure his
election. The battle begon at I o'clock in
the morning, and ended at the same hour
in the evening. Mr.. Stroh, was full uni
formed, and was at the head of his corps all
day. He fought we'll amidst his shattered
ranks, and never for a moment gave up the
victory. His Lieutenant Generals, Pap.
Painter and George Williams, deserve credit
for their heroic bravery. The battle over,
the ambulance corps began their painful
duty Of picking up the wounded and bury
ing the dead. At about eleven o'clock n. IN.
it was officially announced that the total
number who participated in the fight in the
First Ward was $50, Of which number it
was found that the 81 Republican majority
had been killed and 20 captured, leaving
the army stand on either side as follows.
Keiser, lS9 Stroh, l66. Among the prom
| inent Republican Generals killed we find
the following: For Auditor, Fred. Berto-
lette, Esq, killed by J. 4. Stockett. For As
SCISSOR, Alfred Weyhenmeyer by George
| Eickhoff. For Councilman in Second Ward
Mr., Fulton, killed by Joseph Weyhenmeyer,
and several other lesser Officers whose names
we did not. learn. John Faga, haying no
opposition, was, of course, elected Justice of
the Peace. On the first announcement of
the election of Keiser over Stroh the excite
ment was tremendous, and, when the news
| from the hill came of the election of Wey-
henmeyer as a second Democratic Council
man, the cheers aud the hurrahs were long
and deaiening, For fifteen years has the
| borough been without a Democratic Coun-
| gilman, and your readers can therefore i'm
| agine the Joy of the Democrats at their
wonderful success at this last election. We,
| of course, feel sorry for some Of the Republi-
can candidates. But, in this tidal wave of
the overthrow of parties and the discomft-
ure of rings, we can only say to them, Re
form! The ring Is busted, and henceiorth
the Democrats and Independents of this bor-
ough will have their full quota of officers.

The Coal Trade.

The production of anthracite coal has so
nearly ceased that we may characterize
the trade as almost featureless, $50 little is
there doing in it. Nearly all the anthracite
coal regions have come to q stand, and it is
generally understood that there will be no
very active production untillv about the 1st
of April next. This will allow of,time and
opportunity to get rid of most ofthe old stock
of coal and leave the market open for a
tolerably full productionat fair prices thence
to the end of the coal-year Already, we
are informed the market shows'improvement
in increased orders, especially at New York
and farther eastward. Just now the incon-
venience of the temporary suspension of
production is felt somewhat keenly by the
companies having interest payments and
other fixed charges to-, meet, but arrange
ments to this end, we understand, have been
fully made, and all serious trouble in this
regard will be tided over. The chief point
in the years business, the maintenance of
the combination in good faith, progresses
satisfactorily, and there is daily fuller reli-
ance upon it TO effect resuscitation of the
trade to fairly remunerative business"u

The question has often been asked where
is the keystone Band? This is indeed, a
hard matter to explain. No doubt the fine
music of the "Young Americas discourag-
cd them.
The birth day party at D. O'Brian's was
n grand success. Many were the wishes be-
slowed upon him regarding his future hap
piness. The party was very pleasant and
entertaining.
The young America Cornet Band some
time ago talked very earnestly about equip
ping each member in uniform style; but, as
yet, they have not succeeded, and all talk
has ceased. The prospects for the aforesaid
is not very encouraging.
Kinsey, the scioptician, was in town last
Monday. and entertained the young folks
two hours for the small sum of five cents
for each individual. The attendance was
very slim, and too large, when considering
the times.
Valentine day is still not forgotten, es-
pecially by the young folks, who patronized
the same very literally. Those who have
grown up to man and womanhood, hope,
have learned enough to know it to be very
disgusting to the receiver, (thatis, outside of
fancy line) and will not make it practice
in the future, if they have done so in the
past.
The soc able at Mr.. Strausburger's was
well attenued about twenty couples being
present. Hon. D. O'Brian, and his wife
took part in the exercises, and by all ap-
pearance seemed to enjoy themselves to a
great extent, and the others according to
their statements, were perfectly satisfied.
The eatables and refreshments were relished,
and devoured in very short time.
There was also a party..or sociable at Mrs.
Guth's, at the same time. N....s

FSfewsII Sermon.

ION Sunday next, Rev. ]. c. Blem, who
has had charge of the Evangelical Church,
corner of Third and South streets, this
borough, will preach his farewell sermon.
Rev. Bliem, during his stay in Lehighton,
has made many warm friends among the
people Of the world as we'll as among mem
bers ofchurches. The knowledge of his de-
parture from our midst is, therefore, the oc-
casion of much regret. 1t was through Mr..
Bliem's eXertions that the ediiice in which
the Evangelicals now worship was erected.
Nor is this the only thing in which the re-
verend gen leman has proven himself TO be
an earnest worker for the promotion of
Christianity. The number of members has
been largely increased through his efforts,
and the Evangelical Church is nov on a
solid foundation, in a spiritual and a
financial point Of view.
