LADDONIA LACONICS.
Correspondence of the Ledger.

LADDoNIA, Mo-, Sept. 9TH, 1856
Many Laddonians attended the quar-
terly meeting at Wesly Chapel last
Sunday. Ed. Wheat was present
and preached an able discourse to a
crowded house. Wesly Chapel is
located in one of the best commun-
tiles. surrounded by fine farmers ;
and the people are very hospitable.
We noticed the Herald there with a
contented, happy, far-off dreamy
look that said he was not only satisfi-
ed with the people of the United
States, but that he loved foreigners,
especially the Welch.
Rev. Godhy held his quarterly
meeting here Saturday and Sunday,
assisted by Rev. Medley.
Another whiskey suit trial last
Thursday. Mr.. Quisenberry said
that he had bought whiskey from
Rob't. Sinclair IN a small quantity.
c. A. Smith is building n of the
largest livery stables in the county.
Mr.. and Mrs. DIP. Moore have re-
turned from Las Vegas. Mrs. Moore's
health is about the same.
Mr.. John Fireman is happy. The
marriage ceremony for him and Miss
Benie Elder was pronounced last
Thursday by Rev. Bibb, at Martins
burg.
The Herald and the White Apron
Clud think we "are suspicious: of
them" How they obtained such an
idea we know not. When we first
heard of the club, we confessed our
ignorance to it's object, and asked for
information. They informed us of
their object and we said we hoped
they would succeed. There has been
no ''black balling" and no ''suspi-
cion." Had not heard that the club
had been ''meddled with, snarled at,
or insultcd" by any one ; that is news
to us, is all we can say about that.
They are composed of genuine
Yankee grit" All right. In one
sense we are all Yankees and rejoice
IN your undertaking, and hope to see
another nice lamp hanging in front Of
the Christian church soon through
your agency. The Laddonians are
noted for their iberality and I know
they will assist you with money il
you only ask them. We have nc
desire whatever to break up the club.

The Massachusetts Sunday law is
a very old one, prohibiting all work
or travel, except for charity, mercy,
necessity or worship. 1t also applies
to Saturday evening. In letter and
spirit, if observed to-day, it would
stop the running of horse-cars, Sun
day papers, most of the work of drug
stores on Sunday, the riding, driving
and walking that are general, all the
work done Saturday evenings of q
secular sort, and a hundred and one
things that churches and clergymen
indulge in. Still, an attempts being

enforce it.

DISCOVERY OF A COAL FIELD.
Excitement in a New York Village Over q Vein
Of Anthracite.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 5.-The village of Cort-
land. thirty miles south of this place, is greatly
excited over the discovery of a vein of excellent
anthracite coal on the farm of Mr.. Leander
Ladd, five miles west of the village. While
workmen were boring for a we'll, and when at
the depth of one hundred feet, small bits of coal
were brought to the surface. Specimens were
saved and given to learned professors, among
whom was Prof. Williams, of Cornell Univers-
ity. He reported that they were ~frst-rate speci-
mems of anthracite coal 10 drilling two other
experimental wells it is said a coal vein was
found, into which the drill was passed eight feet,
when work was stopped.
Practical engineers, miners and capitalists
have paid visits to the new coal field, and during
the last two weeks Mr.. E. 7. Moody, a civil and
mining engineer of New York, has been in Cort-
land. He pronounces the specimens of coal to
be first-class anthracite. Mr.. Moody is here in
the interest of several Wall street capitalists,
who have raised $25, 900 to work the new coal
field, provided the right of way can be obtained,
and he says, if allowed to go on, men will be put
to work by March l, and if there is coal in that
locality it will be found in a short time. Mr..
Moody says that plenty Of money will be put
into the work. He says the rocks that he has in
his possession are rare specimens of a valuable
coal field.
