FAMILY CHARACTERISTICS.


A few years ago there lived in Oxford
county, Maine, an aged widow, who had
a.teen children. popularity in this fam
ily was what may be called 4" double mar
risges." Thus, two OF the daughters mar
ried brothers, named Palmer; two OF the
sons married sisters, named Barrows; two
other sons married sisters, named Bonney
two grand-daushters, sisters, married
brothers, named Bonney. They thus be-
came sisters-in.law 10 their uncles wives
two other grand-daughters, sisters. mar
rIed brothers, named Bonney, cousins oi
those already named. Thus there were
Ave double marriages in this family, three
OF the children and two OF the grand
children Of this old lady. Another peculi'
arity or this family was that twelve ol
them, six sons and six daughters, settled
down on farms within two miles OF theil
mother. ON one road there were three
owning farms next TO each other, and or
mother road five in succession and thu
far us on the first road were only divided
from ,me OF those on the second by riv
or that r.,p between them.-Boston Jour

Methought, last night. that on the morrow

So much OF good ri ldo.-commcnce anew;
That on the waking OF another dawn
I'll be SO kind, so loving, and so true.
No hasty words Of scorn shall pass my lips.
I'll keep my heart so pure, from sin secure;
I'll stand erect where many another slips,
And petty cares with patience I'll endure.
And now another day has come and gone;
lay my tired head upon the bed;
cannot think OF one kind action done,
One tender. loving word that have said.
How easy. lying here, IL is to plan
or noble deeds TO do. OF pathways new;
And think our life Of work has just begun
When 1t may be, for aught we know, most

A GooD THING.-It is splendid! why,
sir, one winter had my feet frozen while
out cutting timber in the woods. When
came in, in taking of my shoes and stock
ings the skin and toe-nails came of along
with them. The only relief could get ar
ter trying various antidotes, was in bath
ing them with PoND's EXTRACT. 1t Is a
splendid remedy, good for man or beast. "
So spake q farmer, one day, in our Office.
He spoke from experience, as many thou
sands of others could and do speak who
have used the EXTRACT. Only be sure IN
buying 1t, that you get the genuine article.
Take no imitation.

Thousands Of able-bodied men are engaged

which are at once consigned to afes where

OXFORD.

1T is noticeable that most froe-traders
deal with the tariff question as one
OF practical craftsmanship. For instance,
the free trader from Pennsylvania votes
for a tariff on iron; the free trader from
Louisiana votes for tariff on sugar; the
free trader from Virginia votes for tariff
on tobacco; the free trader from South
Carolina votes for tariff on rice. And
herein it is that the free trader showi his
sense, voting for tariff on whatever his
constituents desire TO have protected, thus
showing that some free traders are free
traders in theory, but protectionists in
practice.

The Anthracite Coal Trade.


Philadelphia Leaqer, 18th inst: The
anthracite cosl trade presents no change III
its salient features. There is the usual good
demand at this port for all sizes excepting
broken and pea, though egg coal in some
localities is regarded as rather dull Of sale.
Most of the collleries have their product ei
furnace and stoye coal sold ahead, and tue
output for this month will be somewhat
short on account Of the three quarters time
at the mines and the almost total suspen
sion Of labor there that is anticipated dur
ing the holiday week. The demand for the
eastward is good ant in excess of the facili-
ties for shipment, as freights are high and
vessels continue scarce. The varions shiI =
ping ports, on account Of these difficulties
of export, are slowly accumulating Goa es-
pecialy the sizes that are in least request.
1t is reported that on Saturday there were
about $4,000 tons at Perth Amboy, 90 900
| tons at Elizabethport, and 10000 tons at
Port Richmond. There is no serious dis
cussion in coal circles in this city either
about any changes IN the present three
quarter time rule or in the circular prices
Tor January, though tho latter will not be
unalIy seItleu TOT some tlme YET.
The total tonnage of anthracite coal from
all the regions forthe week ending Dec. 9
as reported by the several carrying compan-
les, amounted to 6Ss,756 tons, against 743,-
81 tons in the corresponding week last
year, decrease of "a ,555 tons. The total
amount Of anthracite mined for the year is
27 ,2s6 tons, against 26,569,3 tons for
the same period last year, a increase of 922 ',
955 tons.
For the week ending on the 18th instant
l29,05o tons of Goa! was transT orted over
the L. V. RR., making total Of ,72t
tons 10 that date, and showing a decrease
o. 34,992 as compared with same time last
year.
For the week ending December Is there
were s2,603 tons Of coal shipped over the
L. & S. RR., making total to date of d.,
4O3,479 tons, decrease as compared tc
same time last year of II ,34l tons.

ParrYville Mentions.

Joseph Kalbfus, Deputy Revenue Col
lector, was in town one day this week.
Rumor has it that in his visit he found
some unlicensed liquor stored away for sale.
Mrs. Harvey Sherry will apply for a
restaurant and saloon license at the coming
court. But her petition will probably meet
with formal and rigorous protest from our
best citizens. Joseph Meyer, will apply
for license, but for a hotel, that which is
actually a necessity. A saloon is in every
way Objectionable and unnecessary.
The ADVOCATE suffers the loss of two val
liable correspondents, one by death and one
by change Of residence. Our deceased friend
W. Z. Kemerer, "Reyere," showed grand
improvement in his latter locals, and
"Alien," of Weissport, always was interest
ing aud pithy.
Something like thirteen men were sus-
pended at the furnaces last Monday even
ing. Work is slack.
Parties from Lehighton are busy cart.
ing ice from the dam above this place. The
crop is very fine.
