SUSTAINING PRICES OF COAL.

The coal companies have agreed to suspend
mining during the last three days of each of the
next two weeks. Officers Of the leading companies
said yesterday that this action had been taken to
maintain present prices Of coal. Dealers seemed re-
luotant TO buy coal at these prices, thinking that
the lack of demand would force the companies to
make lower prices. The present demand, It was adj
mtted. was not large. AT the beginning of the year
all the companies had large stOc KS OF coal on hand.
The supply exceeded the demand, and consequently
the production had TO be stopped in order to stlmu-
late the market. 1t is said by the companies that
mining will be suspended whenever the condition
of the market may make IL necessary.

was given by, Mrs. Hicks-Lord. through
Mrs w ]. Swan. 1t is valued at $500. ThiF-
teen American artists have painted pictures
upon panels of white holly wood of varons de-
signs. The ballroom over the entrance in Madl-
son ave-. proves decided success. 1t is expected
that piano will be placed there Monday, and that
the dancing will alternate with the music furnished
by the outside band.
The 9Th Regiment will be invited to be present
next Wednesday night, after their anticipated
moonlight parade, and an invitation of like
character will be extended to the 22d Rcgi-
ment for some other evening. The beauti-
full birds and cages attract much attention.

We regret to learn of the death of Lee

whilst blasting. His wounds proved fa-
tai and he died on Tuesday morning last
at 10 O'Clock. Deceased leaves wife

A lad named Rupp, who resides with
his parents, in the lower end of this

one day last week, stumbled and fell and
his tongue being between his teeth at

to the Hospital in Harrisburg for treat

well.

splinter had got into his stocking. He
pulled off his boot and examined ii and
his stocking but could find nothing, but
upon inspecting the foot he discovered a
little blood and on putting his finger ON
the spot 1t gave him pain. A further
examination developed the fact that
there was something in the foot, so he
called in DR.. Kieffer, who made an in

out piece of fine needle three fourths
of an inch long broken off at both ends.
The needle was evidently coming out,

point off of 1t. How it got there Mr..

Mr.. Editor = Having just returned from
quite a sad scene, that of the total destruction
by fire, of Mr.. Geo. Rnehart's barn | will
endeavor to hastily give you a note of it This
afternoon we were visited by an unusual severe
thunder gust, accompanied by storm and some
hail. During its duration, of about an hour
1t rained SO heavily that much damage was
done to the late cultivated fields, attended
with almost constant aud most terrific light
ming. The air seemed to be completely filed
with electricity. In the midst of this we were
startled by horsemen forcing their steeds to
their utmost in the direction of the above
scene, when our attention was arrested by q
dense smoke, to which we too, hastily proceed
ed, but were too late to be of any service. The
particulars gained by your correspondent were
that the barn had received stroke by light
ming, unobserved by the family. Mr.. Briggs,
near neighbor, having seen it, Immediately
came and acquainted them of It, but in an
instant the structure was in flames and the fire
beyond control, consuming two calves and all
the farming implements, except wagon. The
personal property belonging 10 E. Rinehart, q
