Poetry,

The following rhyme inviting member
Of the Staunton bar to the Richmond pa
geant of Wednesday, accompanied let
ter from prominent citizen of Richmond,
we'll known for his poetlcal proclivities:
Any day before the 26th, will be glad to see you
in Richmond, when we can be patriotic"
And drink to Washington and those
Who gave the British awfnl blows,
Yes Just one hundred years ago
When thirteen Colonies you know,
Were stepping boldly to the front,
After having Dravely born the brunt
OF seven years of angry war,
Against the British Lions paw
And English Parliamentary jaw,
Which wagoed against the right and law
And never clearly felt or saw
That ragged soldiers, green aud raw,
Could face the cannon without awe.
But what of this since Yankees rule,
And every niger goes to school,
And impudently claims to be
Superior to you and me?

afternoon. The Superintendent, Mr.. John

BereaH Lesson Leaf, the lesson was read al.
leruately by verses, the study was then en-
gagged in bv the teachers and scholars. after
which the Superintendent introduced new
feature in the school, intended to promote
better attendance-the ILLUSTRATED Lesson
Leaves" are To be handed to each scholar
and full and correct account kept of the
attendance and amount oc collection Of each
scholar.
The classes are all named, the name in
most cases being suggestive OF some very
excellent thought; the Secretary's report o
each class was read by the name given u
the class, instead Of the common method o
the teachers name by request of ihe Sup
erintendent, we reviewed the lesson from
the ackboard, which is quite a good thing
in the school, after which the Superinund.
ent made some remarks, and then requested
The school to tender a vote of thanks and
also extend an invitation to the visitor 1,

Having Just passed what ls known as holi.
day week, we have little to report III the
coal market for the time. The weather has
beeh exceedingly cold and the operators de.
mahd for coal is reported quite urgent
There has, however, been very little change
in pfites from the yards, though The sloeks
OF coal in some quarters are running low.
If this running down tendency and tbs
present severely cold weather continue prices
of domestic sizes must necessarily be ex-
pected TO follow these governing influences
Of the coal market and prices advance. But
as yet the only United action In tho matter
is that the Executive Committee Of the
Lehlgh and Schuylhill Coal Exchanges met
on Thursday last aud decided to recommend
a continuance Of the present prices during
January. So that the immediate future is
seemingly assuted 30 far as this market Is
cuhcerhed. The Miners Journal Of Satur-
day last thus expresses itself OF the trade up
to this times The extreme cbld weather
and successive snow stormsj together with
the decree ofthe leading interests that opera
tions shall be restricted to three days in each
week, has cut down the production to very
small figure, and those who ere bot plenti-
fully supplied with coal are at dsadvah-
tage. We have heard of no hardship from
this sourceJ however, in the Eastern cities,
and The figures Of the production, which
have reached over 23,000,000 tons, would
forbid belief in coal flihine. A large
production at this season Of the year is
neither possible nor desirable, and dealers
and lurge consumers are prudent enough not
to require it. The real cause Of the scarcity
Of coal. the dealers maintain, lies in the fact
that, because it was cheap last year, every
one held off this year 70 get IL cheap once
more there never was 50 much coal pro-
duced and consumed in the United States,
so dealers say, as during the year 1880. The
Western dealers think now that the present
figures for anthracite will not be changed.
Coal Of this description which has been com
ing forward for the past month or 50 is dis
posed Of generally on old orders. The rail-
roads are still dilatory in furnishing tians-
portation, it being more profitable to carry
other products. The market presents no
more favorable condition sine, last week. It
is the opinion of leading dealers that fuel
will be dear, in anticipation Of a severe Wins
ter. The Coal Trade journal says tha. an
thracite production during the year 1881
ought to be largely in excess of the con-
sumption Of this year, inasmuch as there is
now something like confidence restored be-
tween the buyer and seller Of this commodi-
ty. In addition TO this fact, there is the
more potent one, that stocks will be practi-
cally exhausted froin the more severe wealth
er that has been or is naturally expected, as
compared with the winter season of 1879 so
