| POstpOnement.
| Agreeable to adjournment at its last
meeting, Fire Company No. /. met on
Sunday last at 8 o'clock, with full at
tendance both of officers and member
The weather being inclement it was
suggested that the picnic which was to
come off on that day be postponed.
On motion with second, the question
was put by the President and the
picnic postponed until tomorrow, Sum-
day. Another motion to the effect that
such Of the sweetmeats as wouldn't
keep, and sufficient quantity Of re-
freshments be consumed, was carried.
A motion was also made and carried
that those who were invited to the pic
mic (postponeO together with retired
members of No. should help destroy
them. Falling under the former head we
did not have to be persuaded to be-
have ourselves as we proudly followed
behind a column in parade which was
commanded by Marshal Sandoz, Pres
ident Perrodin, and Foreman Perrault
Of Fire Company No. 1. The band
which took the lead, dealt out its store
of choice music until we reached Vela-
sacca's Hall were a feast was ready
waiting. The committee appointed for
the purpose of notifying retired mem
bers and other invited guests left us at
the door. On entering the hall we
found the company divided and stand
ing on each side of the room with Pres
ident Perrodin at the head making
melton to the effect that w. C. Per-
rault newly elected be crowned as Fore
man of Fire Co. No.. 1. The motion
was carried, and Mr.. Perrault stepping
to the front, was crowned with sue
cession of tape-connected skeleton
frames which in our opinion was pat
ent emblem of woman's rights. He
responded fittingly and the company
with it's guests separated to social gath
ering around the several tables provi-
ded for the occasion. At the back end
of the hall key of Lager was kept con-
stantly on tap, and Claret Wine of the
best grade was as plentiful and free as
water. By the time the company's re-
tired members arrived a splendid pyra-
mid cake such as few other than
Mr.. Charlie Pefferkorn can prepare was
brought out and by motion Of Presi-
dent Perrodin which was carried Messrs.
Maxwell and Gibbs were selected to
cut it. Spending some time drinking
toasts, and in destroying this mag
nificent cake the fire company was
called to order that they might listen to
eloquent and feeling addresses from
the following named gentlemen: Presi-
dent F. F. Perrodin, Foreman w. C.
Perrault, Messrs. Gibbs, Mayo, Ealer
and Posey. To cap the climax the
Board of Police were present and played
heavy hand in making the occasion
a complete success in all it's varied fea-
lures. After several hours of rare en-
joyment, the frolic was brought to an
end by general street parade in which
all hands took ''the biggest part"
The company returned to the Court
yard and adjourned to Wednesday, Oath,
at (which meeting important arrange
ments were made for Sunday,
(to-morrow) the s8th inst, to which
day the picnic with the same pro-
gramme was postponed. We are re-
uues,ed to inform those invited
to attend the picnic which was to
have come off on the 21st that
the same invitations are extended for
Sunday next.

Ohio nearly three4feurths of the product.
The average price per ton at the mine in
1880, was 1922, while in 1870 it was
$1.s2, at cost Of 88 cents. An average
of 431 53-1o0 tons was raised per man,

Sufficient information was gathered to
justify the assumption that exhausted fields
form but very small fraction of the total
available coal land Attention is called to
the fact that although the value of the
product has fallen, wages have not CORE
spondingly decreased, and the totals prove
q gain of nearly a third of million of dol
