COAL.

In Kentucky alone there are two
coal fields which would supply little
England for thousand years could
she only tow them over the ocean
and place them contiguous to her.
The first contains $4,000 square
miles, while the second, which is but
q small affair for this country, cons
taius only 10000 miles. That is to
say, these two districts combined
aggregate $4,000 SCARE miles, or
nearly half the area Of England
proper. But We could spare our
dear old mother country even more
coal lands, for with but few excep-
tons the new States west of the
Mississippi have also their vast coal
deposits. Even Texas has lately
come to the front as q coal produ
cling State, for between San Antonio
and Laredo several very promising
deposits have been discovered in q
locality where fuel has always been
worth more than meat.

HOW IT FEELS TO DROWN.

Il 10 not often that you hear Of an
editor with a curiosity. Most of
them accept earthquakes, tornadoes,
murders, fires and foods as every
day occurrences, and even q nitro
glyceTine explosion next door would
not interrupt the routine work of the
ssncsum very long. But French
editor, and the editor OF Lyons pa
per at that, had . curiosity to know
how q person feels when drowning.
He therefore put up q job on hirn-
self. He arranged to come. within
q hairs breadth Of drowning, but
was to be pulled out in the nick OF
time, rolled on a barrel, hauled over
the sands, thumped on the stomach
and otherwise resu' citsted. All
went we'll during the first act lie
lesped into the water, refused to
struggle and gradually sank from
sight. At the proper moment he
was hauled up by rope and act
second commenced. This was aO
occasion where an editor was too
smart They rolled him according
to programme, and seven or eight
men tired themselves out with rob-
bing him and banging him up head
dowpwards. bat he was q dead man.
He may know how it feels to drown,
but he'll never trouble the public
with description of his feeling

runs thus:
'The humble petition of all the maids
whose names are underWritten. Where
as, We. the humble petitioners, are at
present in very melancholy disposition
of mind, considering how ali the bachelors
are blindly captivated by widows, and our
youthful charms thereby neglected.; in
consequence of this our request is that
your eXcellency will for the future order
that no widow presume to marry any
young man till the maids re provided for,

satisfaction for evading our liberties, and
likewise a fine to be levied on all such

that the widows by their forward car

have the vanity to think their merit be

Cincinnati Gazette.

The Western Christian Advocate, Of
this city, announces to its subsc ibers that
after careful consideration of the facts
it has determined to exclude from its
columns all advertisements Of patent
medicines. All the yearly contracts will
not extend hey ond April and after that
time no new ad vertisements of this class
will be accepted. Many of its readers, it
seems, were not opposed to these adver
tisenents, and once upon time mo-
ton to instruct the book agents to exclude
them was laid upon the table by the gen.
eral conference. On account of this
restriction it will require an aggregate
increase of abont ten thousand subscribers
to make good the financial loss. A fnan-
cial loss to the paper is feared, and it is
urged on the u ethodist ministers to In
crease the subscription list Of the paper.
