all over the South. and paying dividends
such as no owner of Northern mill stock

Having succeeded so handsomely with

The fact that this Christmas tell on
Sunday gives occasion to exercise one
self in some curious calculations. Some
one who has a taste for such matters pre-
.ents the following statements that are
not generally known: The falling Of
Christmas on Sunday takes place four
tines in every 2Syears, after the expira-
ton of every 5, 6, II and years respect
lively. Take, for instance, the year 1859
as starting point. In that year Christ
mas came on Sunday. The succeeding
twenty eight years during which Christ
mas has and will come upon Sunday are
1864, 10, 81 and 81. Since we last celebrat-
ed a Christmas Sabbath before the pres
ent IL years have elapsed. In six years we
will have another, and there will not
AGAIN be an eleven year skip until that
between 1910 and 1921. Owing to 1900
not being an actual leap year, though
divisible by the figure 4, from 1892 to
1910 Christmas (and, of course, New
Year also) falls on Sunday regularly ev-
cry six years. This calculation makes
an iteresting centre-table amusement.

A statement of the anthracite coal trade
shows the production for the year to be
about twenty-eight million and five hun
dred thousand tons. There may be q
week. suspension in January, but after
that, it is thought, that the demand will
be such as to make work imperative.
Thirty million tons is calculated as the
production of 1882, and with this view
preparations are being actively pursued
in all the anthracite regions.

Game must be scarce in the vicinity of
Towanda. A celebrated landlord and visi-
laut police officer went out hunting one day
last week. After travelling all day, without
success, so some of the knowing friends of
the parties say, they went into farmers
pigeon-roost and knocked down a half dozen
of the birds with a club and departed for
home. Go to the Elwel House, or ask DIM
MOCK, if you want to get further information
on the subject. Here the brave hunters have
a way of going to one of the meat markets
and buying game to take home with them
when they fail to bag any. They don't pro-
pose to run any chances with indignant far
mers since the time the boys shot that pea
cock for a wild turkey.-Athens Gaz.
