Peabody Institutes.

Peabody Institutes are popular in
situations. a high value is placed upon
them by teachers, school officers, and
citizens. The community in which an
institute is held regards itself as highly
favored. Four weeks sojourn of sew
eral hundred teachers is beneficial to
any community from several points of
view. Hence the opportunities of COM
peting places excite much laudable ri
valry every year.
The following is the programme for
the summer:

tributed at an early day. 1t is our pur-
pose to embody in the circular explicit
information covering all the points in
regard to which inquiries are usually
made, so that every teacher may de-
eide without delay what institute he
will attend. Teachers expecting to at

a PERENNIAL FIRE.-Among the
many valuable coal possessions ef the
Reading Company none is richer than
the three-mile stretch Of land from
New Castle on the east to Glen Carbon
on the west. Unfortunately, forty
years ago, while this. land was being
worked, fires originated at two dilfer-
ent points and in two valuable veins.
Every means then known was taken
to extinguish the flames, but without
avail, and the fire is said to have al
ready consumed several million dollars
worth of the finest coal. Prior to and
during the seventies no less than three
large collieries were in successful oper-
alton on these tracts-the Anchor, at
Heckschersville; the East Pine Knot
and West Pine Knot, at Greenbury, and
Coal Castle. Work had to be suspended
and the collieries abandoned, owing to
the fire. The Reading Company have
now determined to eXtinguish the
flames ifpossible, and borings are al
ready being made to locate the present
seat of fire. When successful, the sur
face will be stripped above the veins
and the fire then confined to its limits,
and millions of tons of good coal saved.
The managers of the Reading Company
are confident that, with little expense,
an immense area of the best coal in Low
er Schuylkill region can be saved and
utilized to the profit of that corpora
ton.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTGoS.-Whie
the earth may not be very large it seems to
have been sufficient for Bob Roberts, as he was
Familiarity known to many of our older in
habitants to have successfully hid his where
abouts from them for thirty-fivc years. Forty
odd years ago he landed in Fredericksburg,
coming here from his home in Loudoun cOun-
ty. He embarked in the restaurant business
and for a long time conducted popular re.
sort where Matte Catchy and Dr. Montague
now do business.
Mr.. Roberts after leavin. that location,
built and occupied the double tenement next
door to Mrs. Leonard but firing OF the Burg,
he one morning left here and the report soon
came back that he had died in Alexandria
The report came ST. straight that his wife
gave full crcdence to it and after the conven-
tional period of mourning took to herself Il
second husband.
His acquaintances, too, generally accepted
the news rs true and, after invoking Divine
mercy, Bob Roberts passed out of their mind
On last Wednesday 4 stranger from Lou
doun county arrived in town and began to
make inquiries about Bob Roberts, saying
that he had died three weeks ago in Loudoun
county. where he had been living for many
wears and he wished, as administrator of his
estate, TO lind ont if there were any heirs
hcreabouts. Those of our citizens who had
known Mr. Roberts were incredulous and
could scarcely be convinced that Bob Roberts
had been living so near them all these years
without any one of them knowing it. This
is all the more strange when the constant in
tercoursc between the sections is taken into
consideration.
This gentleman's search for the heirs of
Bob Roberts awokc many memories among
those who had known and frequented Bob's
place, among them Burrell Jefferson, a noted
chief in his day, and like whom there have
been but few since in the preparation of old

an accident in his mill at Dumfries on

due to Mr.. Mitchell having his boot leg
caught by bolt on revolving shaft.
While bending over the hopper his leg
came in contact with the shaft which
jammed him with great violence be-

SCATTERING his leg. Only one other per-

having his back turned, did not witness
the terrible accident. The first intima-

resided near Manassas. was stricken
with typhoid fever and died. Another
brother, Edward, was also attacked by
fever from the effects of which he has

this time a little daughter of Edward

business, had accumulated considerable
