Winter Home for Quail.

Supt. L. Z. Wills, of the Lehigh Valley
Emery Wheel Co., who is deeply interested,
not only in his manifold labors of manufac-
turing the most improved quality of emery
wheels and machinery to run them, but also
in taking care of the quail IN the vicinity OF
Weissport, has, with the cooperation of Gen.
Lilly and other feld-sport loving gentlemen,
fitted up one of the rooms in the Emery
Wheel building as an aviary. The room is
comfortably heated by steam, the floor is
covered with gravel, and sma!! trees are ar
ranged in rows so as to present the appear
ance of a miniature wilderness. Knowing
the habits of quail, Mr. Wills has arranged
all the minor details of the room for the COM
fort of the two or three hundred feathered
Inmates which he proposes to domicile there
until spring, in order to save them from de-
structon during the remainder of the win

The chief feature, says last Mondays
Philadelphia Ledger, in the anthracite coal
trade since the expiration of the Combine
ton for 1873 and the advent of a new year
with unrestricted trade, has been a tendency
to lower prices for coal. On the 2nd inst.
the phila. and Reading RR. Co announced
a new schedule of freight and tolls on an
thracto on basis Of Sl.5O per ton from
Schuylkill Haven to Philadelphia, reduc-
tion of 25 cents per ton from the previous
tariff of charges The Coal and Iron Go.
have issued circular to their line agents
reducing the price Of coal at Schuyl. Haven
below previous circulars 40 cents per ton on
broken and egg sizes, so cents per ton on
stove, % cents per ton on small stoves, chest
nut and No. pea. and 20 cents ON No.
pea but this reduction is equivalent only
to real reduction of about half the nUmi-
nal amounts stated, as coal in the recent
past has sold below circular rates No cir
cular has yet been issued fixing prices on
board of vessels at Port Richmond, but the
Railroad Company announces by circular
that the net rate of freight and tolls from
the mines to the port Of shipment beyond
the capos Of the Delaware will be 40 per Ct.
of the price at which the coal is sold free on
board at Port Richmond. S. C. Harris, the
Line and Southern Sales Agent Of the p. q
Il. Coal and Iron Co., gives notice that he will
continue all untitled orders into January.
and bill at January prices. All drawback
circulars heretofore issued are withdrawn
and the rates and drawbacks named therein
discontinued. The Reading announces that
a reduction Of 10 per ct. will be made from
its published rates upon all anthracite coal
consigned for actual consumption at iron
works upon the line Of the road or any of its
branches. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Co. have given public notice by circular
that the following will be the prices charged
for the present month of January for " Old

Cheering Indications.

In the midst of the rather gloomy aspect
of business, consequent upon the suspen-
sion of number of the hands at the Pack
erton shops and those who are at work being
engaged only half their time, it is consoling
to be informed by Mr.. John G. Biery, agent
for the Weissport Planning Mill, that that
establishment, owing to increased orders,
even if no additions are made thereto, will
be able to run full blast for the remainder Of
this month, and it is more than likely that
other orders will come in, and that the
mills will continue actively running during
the winter.
| The Fort Allen Foundry is also busily
at work on large, new orders for fancy cast
/ ngs for a New York firm, used in the man
uiacture of fountains; on sewing and knit
ting machine castings for firm in Brattle-
boro, VT, and ON miscellaneous work. The
| first Of this week. N iner Brothers, proprie-
tors of the foundry, received large order
for castings from a business house in the city
Of Havana, Cuba, which order they now
have under consideration. Ifthey conclude
to accept it, the foundry will be compelled
to run at its fullest capacity for an indefii-
mite period.
The Lehigh Valley Emery Wheel Co.,
one of the neatest and best-handed enter
prses in this vicinity, shut down during
the holidays, but went actively to work on
Tuesday morning. 1t would have COM
menced Immediately after New Years day,
but for the serious illness of Superintend ent
Wills, an indispensable factor in the estab-
lishment, who, however, is now at his post.
The Central Carriage Works, another neat
enterprise, is also busily at work, and all our
merchants who make any effort to let people
know !hey are alive, feel contented with
the winter trade so far, and look hopeful ly
forward to the future.
Next week the ADVOCATE will publish an
article fully descriptive of the Emery Wheel
Co., and from week to week thereafter will
publish similar articles of the other enter
higton Stove Works, etc.
To the casual observer it seems but too
evident that the one great affection to the
people of this portion of the Lehigh Valley
is Il too conservative spirit of business enter
prise-have learned by habit to rely too ex-
elusively upon single industry for pros
perity. There is no earthly reason, except
lack of enterprise among capitalists, why
the valley, from White Haven to Lehigh
Gap, should not be dotted with workshops
and factories of different kinds; with bright
and cheerful towns and villages, instead
of the dingy, forlorn little hamlets and bo-
roughs that now contrast so gloomIly with
the beautiful and magnificent works of ma
ture that look down upon them. If not to
this, then to some future generation belongs
the harvest which q new spirit of business
enterprise VIII reap here.

DiphtIleria.

So fearful foe as diphthera must bo met
promptly; since all cases are claimed to be
durable If treatment is commenced early
enough in the attack, and yet no case of dis
ease can be more hopeless than this, when
it has reached an advanced stage as then,
just like in advanced stages of cholera ,medi-
cines will not take any effect. The princi-
pal treatment of diphtheria, acknowledged
by the medical profession generally to be
most efficient when commenced early, and
claimed by physicians of certain sections of
the country to be a sure cure, if properly
given, consists Of a combination of muriatic
tincture of iron and quinine. 1t has further
been discovered that mixture OF iron, quiz
nine and chlorate Of potassium, taken for
some time in very small doses, will saturate
the system and will, in nearly all cases, posi-
lively prevent an attack and in others great
ly mitigate severity. This will answer "A
Fathers" query, " is there no preventive?"
in the most satisfactory manner that it can
be answered on authority and experience.
Very Respectfully,

dreadful disease consumption. In fact, this
disease is reported to be constantly in
