Col. Mcclure Of the Philadelphia Times
has been seeking for information of Joe
Smith in Susquohauno county, Pa, where
the father of Mormonisn planned and first
preached the new religion. Smith was a
lumberman, but was too lazy to work stead
lily. He preferred to get money as a "peep-
err or man who pretended to possess the
giit of telling where minerals and water
could be found. He had a green stone that
was regarded by the supersttious people as
a wonderful talisman, and credeuce was gem
orally given to his stories of ofsupernaturalism
Deep pits still mark a spot where, under his
direction, man spent thousands of dollars
digging for mythical treasure. Smith mar
red a girl against her fathers wishes, and
went away to become a farmer, but was too
shiitless, and soon returned to be supported
by his iatherin-law His Mormon scheme
was laid there, and the Book of Mormon
written, but hardly any converts were made
in the region where he was well known.

REVERE.
Audcnried Siftinys,


The colieries of Tresciow, Yorktown,
Beaverbrooll, Honeybrook and Audenried
are idle yet, with as little prospect of re-
sumption as when they suspended. Most
of the men have gone to work elsewhere.
Business here is considerably enliven-
ed by the sale of huckleberres. The con-
ductor Of the train buys them at 4, 5, and 6
cents quart Crowds of women and child
ren may be seen daily at the cars, driving
hard bargains.
On the 22d inst. Mr.. Charles Parrish,
Supt of the L. e W. Coal Co., sent Hon.
Richard Williams telegram, stating he
would meet a committee of the Honeybrook
men that afternoon or evening 1t was con-
! tidently expected that satiiactory agree
ment would be the result, but Mr.. Parrish
failed to put in an appearance. Report is
current TO the effect that Mr.. Parrish came
to Hazleton that day, and was met by some
coal operators who persuaded him to make
no concessions with his men that any ar
/ rangement he would make would ultimate
ly become general throughout the Lehigh
Region, or cause a suspension there that
the present Superintendent, Mr. Leisenring,
knew nothing ofths meeting, and was fully
competent, from his more intimate acquaint-
ance with the circumstances, to attend to
the matter himself. il is certainj however.
that men from any of the suspended col
lieries will get no work in the Lehigh Re
gion, or il they do, they will be discharged
as soon as their residence is known. They
have been discharged from Summit Hill
and from all other places where the opera
tors here have any influence, Are the
operators, in this instance, not interfering
with the rights ofireemen? We thought this
system Of serldom or mine-slavery was abol-
ished long ago. Would it not be more
noble to initiate the example of Mr.. F. B.
Gowen whose circular on "the employment
and discharge of men" deserves to be incor-
porated into the Constitution of Pennsyl-
vana7

living in Easton, lrct with a most terrible
death. She was walking on the main track
of the Lehigh and susquehanna Railroad,
near the Fourth street depot, when she was
struck by locomotive and thrown upon the
rails. The engine and forty coal passed
over her body, which was literally torn to
pieces. The wheels passed diagonally across
the body, from the left armpit to the fight

The advance is ascribed to the efforts o.
the different coal companies. When they
found they could not form new combina-
ton through the opposition of the late ex-
Judge Packer, of the Lehigh Valley Com,
pany, they made an effort TO reach an agree.
ment among themselves to limit the produc.
ton Of coal by stopping mining operation:
whenever the market might be overstoclled
Several meetings were held for this purpose
without any result but it is reported that
an understanding has been reached among
the leading representatives of the principal
coal companies by which they will issue
monthly circulars advancing the price Of
each class of coal to figures satisfactory to all.
A meeting of coalmen interested in the
Philadelphia trade will be held in that city
Thursday for the purpose of advancing the
price of this commodity.
