Substitute for Coke.

Capt. w. NJ. Hovey, of the Black
Band Iron and Coal Company, which
owns coal mines on Davis creek, w.
Va, and blast furnaces near Charles
ton, claims that company, to which
the furnaces were leased, has made
successful experiments at smelling
iron with block coal from the Davis
creek mine. He says the proportion
of coal to coke was gradually in
creased until coal was used exclu-
sively, with as good results as re-
CARDS the quality and quantity
of iron produced as those OBJ
tanned when coke was used. He
says that furnace company at
Ironton, Ohio, has contracted for a
large supply Of this coal.
The Black Band Iron and Coal
Company now intends to build fur
naces for the manufacture of iron
with this coal, the use of which saves
them $1.37 ton, as compared with
coke, and have bought land for the
purpose on the kanawha river, at
the junction of the Chesapeake Il
Ohio and Kanawha and Coal river
railroads.

The Hancock county Independent
relates that, few evenings ago, as
some gentlemen were passing along
the sidewalk l. that classic village,
one of them suddenly stopped and
pointed to the white curtains of a
window upon which were outlined the
profiles of a young lady and a gentle
man caller. We leave the editor to
relate what followed:
"When first seen the observed of
all observers were seated side by
side. They were evidently young,
impulsive, and badly mashed. At
first he would diffidently throw his
arms around her chair and gaze into
her soulful eyes, with wish I-may-
die-if-I- don't -love-you expression on
his face. This hattery she would
reciprocate by patting his cheek.
Emboldencd by her affectionate
warmth, he then ventured little
further and placed his arm around
her shapely waist. By this time
several others had collected on the
sidewalk, and the performance be-
came decidedly more interesting.
The two chairs had been drawn side
by side, and the lovers were closely
looking into each others eyes when
the climax came and the girl reach
ed over to the young man and kissed
him.
"Act three commenced on time.
Maidenly reserve was being swept
away in the hood-tide of love, and
the girl arose from her seat, flung
her arms around the neck of her
lover, and kissed him until his back
hair smoked.
"Act four began. She swoopcd
down upon him like milestone
and scooped him in. She sat in
his lap and kissed him with a
kissness which Lydia Thompson
would have given ten years of her
life to initiate upon the stage. 1t
