GENERAL ITEMS.

TYPoGRAPHIcAL ERRoRs.-The
number of types used in an ordinary
country newspaper is about 100000.
That is the actual number of bits of
metal arranged for each paper in pre-
pairing a newspaper of that size for the
press. Few people think the print
ing trade as one of the most exact and
particular handicrafts--but it is. In
making type, variations that might
be allowed in the finest machinery,
would render type useless. The
most elaborate and carefully-fitte
piece of work ever made in other
very particular skilled labor does not
compare, for minuteness of detail
and accurate fitting, with that which
the printer does every day. The man
who does the first is looked upon as
the marvel Of skill, but if one hmm
dred of his pieces are PUT in wrong
side up down, or turned around, it is
not noticed in the general effect. If
IL printer, in fitting ten times as many
pieces together in Il single day. puts
one in the wrong way, every one sees
it and is amazed at the stupid care
lessness of those printers. "-Des

NEW YoRK.-Bituminous still
hangs on in the same inactive condi-
ion reported for so long a period !;
,ffers are still made very freely Of all
he several varieties of coal known,
" unknown to this market, at figures
'uctuating around $3.50 alongside.
there is no particular movement
apart from the filling Of transient
riders, which are not many just at
resent; all the season contracts have
'een arranged for, and at low figures.
Coal Trade Journal.
1t is reported that the contract for
applying the Long Island railroad
With about 10000 tons of coal has
,een received by Clearfield shippers,
md that the Boston and Albany rail
Dad contract has been awarded, the
mounts for the western end going
o Cleartield shippers and for the
astern end to Cumberland compan-
rs. In both instances, the prices are
aid to have been low. Business is
quiet and dull and closely contested.
PHILADELPH1A.--The bituminous
coal trade is looking up. Leading
,perators talk better. Some have been
LONG considerable business, while
'thers are complaining that trade is
'ul' and prices low. Some consider
bly, shading is going on: but in gem
raj, prices are better, and during the
week, some very heavy contracts will
probably be placed. 1t is yet uncer-
ain how far bituminous coal will
,upplant anthracite. Some dealers
ave pushed anthracite out here, and
hink they can hold contracts when
resent supplies are exhausted. Coal
is so cents lower this year than last,
md freights are also less, making Il
Inference of at least IS cents ton to
he consumer. The Clearfeld region
IS not fully at work; the larger mines
are in at 40 cents. Some of the
miners are stillout, but it is probable
that all will soon be at work. A
strike may possibly grow out of the
Ileartield reduction, however Van
,lerbilt's road has been surveyed as
lar as Philipsburg, but its course
trough Clearfield has not been de-
'ided upon. 1t is said that several
small feeders will be constructed,
put whether by the Vanderbilt peo-
pie, or in conjunction with the coal
operators, has not been decided.
several operators have lands that they
ire anxious to develop, and it is like
~ that they will extend their aid tor
that purpose.
BosToN.--But few important sales
of bituminous coal are now made.
Most important contracts are out of
he market. Notwithstanding the
TACT that a firmer feeling for all kinds
Of bituminous coal is reported, we
should expect to see large contract
placed at as low figures as have ruled
,or some weeks past. The endeavor
is mainly to establish an advance on
cargo lots. The Providence railroad
has bought about %, 900 tons of Cum
herland coal. Other contracts are
said to have been quietly placed.

AFRAID OF TROUBLE ON REsuR-

scene took place few days since at

the occasion of the funeral of ii re.
tired farmer. On arriving at the
grave the officiating clergyman, the
Rev. W. Beresford, vicar of st. Luke's,
Leek, pointed out that the corpse's
feet would not not point to the east
ward and, although the sexton told
him that the grave was in a similar
nositlon to hundreds of others and
showed him the headstones in con-
tirmation, the clergyman insisted up
on his point, referring to the difficulty
which would be experienced on the
day of resurrection if the corpse was
placed otherwise than with his feet
to the east. A rule was procured,
when it was found that the grave
would just take the coffin the reverse
and the ceremony was then proceed

THE report of the coal shipments
for the past year from the Clearfield
region shows ii decrease of over thirty
five thousand tons. Thus far the
present year the output has been
greatly in excess Of anything before
attempted, and it is believed that,
nothing intervening in the way of
strikes, the year 1884 will far surpass
the last and make a showing of over
three million tons.

How LovELY.-The Osceola Rev.
ellie tells how nicely and sweetly all
vas fixed up over there:
The great dread of the past two or
three weeks is dispelled, and the an
ticipated strike is avoided. 1t was
only necessary for the shippers and
miners to understand each other to &C.
complish this. To sum up the whole
trouble into simple sentence: The
shippers wanted reduction Of ten
cents on the ton, to enable them to
compete with Cumberland, under the
recently acquired advantages of that
region over Clearfeld and the miners
only wanted the shippers, in consider
alton Of this reduction, to make two
cash payments per month and abolish
the store order system. AS soon as
they fully understood each other, the
thing was done, and the miners, as n
general thing, are at work, and all in
terested parties are happy.
The only feature lacking to make
this picture surprisingly handsome
Is the long-metre doxology.

THERE is a feeling abroad that the
drivers of this region should have
more pay. Their labor is alduous
and perilous, and the position one
where prompt and efficient perfor-
nance of duty is Of great value to the
company. Even Inspector Brown, in
his otherwise exaggerated report,
finds occasion to say that the reduc-
ton from $24s to $l.65 per day "was
too heavy, taking into consideration
the dangerous occupation, as there
are more OF them hurt in the mines
than other class Of employees" 1t
would, therefore, be not only grace
full but wise for the companies to
come forward with a reasonable
advance to these men.

THE Philadelphia correspondent Of

THE Philadelphia correspondent of
the Engineering and Mining Journal
found occasion to remark in his last
report, copied elsewhere:
Coal is so cents lower this year than
last, and freights are also less, making
. diffe, ence of at least rs cents a ton
to the consumer.
$40 the consumer 2" Certainly, for
there is no one else to be benefited 80
largely. If the above statement be
correct the owner of the coal has con-
tributed for this year so cents, and
the carrier rs cents per tonic the
man who burns the coal! In addi-
ton the Clearfield operators have do
mated 10 cents per ton. But from
whom does this 10 cents come? Do
they take it from their own pockets,
or from the railroad ? Not at all !;
they take it from the miner 10 cents
that does not belong to them, to give
to a consumer who does not need it !.
In time the same demand may be
made here. The consumers nav,
spoiled by indulgence, is Unsuitable.
Then Clearfeld will deliver another
appropriation, Georges Creek "follow
suit" and so on.
Such tactics, generally introduced,
would end in the destruction of all
business.
