liam Shonse, formerly clerk in the EastOn
Post Office, charged with embezzling part Of
the contents OF a registered letter which
came into his hands, was resumed Monday,
IN the District Court. Philadelphia. TeSti-

liyered the registered letter alleged TO have

On the 2nd inst, Mr.. F. D. Morris, for
wsrding agent at Packerton, presented his
annual report Of coal shipments over the
Lshigh Valley railroad for the year ending
November 80 1881. This shows q total
shipment Of 5,7Ol ,Ss6.0s tons Of anthracite
and 79,s24lS tons u bituminous coal, max
ing grand total Of {, $50 ,TOl.OS tons. This
iS an increase OF $4,000 tons over the
shipment lsst year, aud iS by that amount
the heaviest made since the opening Of the
road. This represents an immense amount
Of work and great promptness in delivery,
which becomes all the more apparent when
it is remembered that during the first six
months o: the year tho road worked but
little over halftime. Il 10 also highly cred
liable to the management Of the forwarding
Office that in the whole of this immense
business only one cargo went astray.
For the first three days Of the present
month, which commences the Lehigh Val.
ley Cos, new year, there were 90 1854 tons
of coal shipped over she road, being a de-
crease of $3.50 tons as compared with same
date last year.
