the great coal area OF the country is
located within the borders of West
Virginia. and taking into account the
greater thickness OF her workable

others in the extent and value OF her
coal beds. Her coal area is computed
at 5000 square miles. A great portion
Of 1t is easily and cheaply mined, all OF

tons OF coal, ranking seventh among the
coal-producing sta es OF the Union

Missouri and Iowa having each in the

1852 she produced S,7l0,SSS tons OF coal

Our timber forests, covering about
100000 acres, and which embrace
about half the state, in size and value
exceed those OF any other state, are
scarcely less attractive than our coal,
and yield much quicker return. 1t
has been truthfully said that West
Virginia's forests present almost every
tree known to the temperate zone"
The revenues from these forests are
more annually than the product Of our
mines. l recently visited the sawmill
plant on ono OF our new railroads at
"COmden on tho Gauley," which cost
about 100000 having q capacity to
cut 90, 900, 900 foot Of lumber q year. It
Is claimed that tho timber accessible TO

Bosworth Post Camp Fire.

Bosworth Post had an old fashioned
camp fire at the hall on Free street last
evening. About two hundred sat down
to the well spread tables, and brown
bread, hard tack, beans and coffee re-
ceived careful attention from all points.
The guests of the evening were the Off
GERS of Thatcher Post, Shepley Camp
and Cloudman Post of Westbrook, with
few citizens.
After pipes were lighted there were in
formal remarks by Commander True of
Thatcher Post the captain of Shepey
Camp, Past Commander Green of Bos-
worth Post and few Others. Major
Green referred to Gen. Buffers death in
appropriate terms, and poked fun at the
scheme before the legislature to reim-
burse those who hired substitutes during
the war. The boys had grand good
time and the camp fire broke up abou'

Boston & Maine.

In consequence of the failure of the
directors of the Connecticut River Rail-
road to agree to the terms of the Boston
& Maine at their meeting in Springfield
on Wednesday, it is understood that a
conference will be held with the Boston
& Maine officials n Boston soon. The
terms proposed for the lease provide for
10 per cent. guaranteed dividends on the
present stock, as already published.
There is no objection to this part. But
the Connecticut River railroad has a
surplus of 1,2o0, 600, and the division of
this is the stumbling block. The Boston
6 Maine people propose to issue scrip to
the stockholders, amounting to nearly
$50 share, drawing per cent. interest
and redecmable in ten years. They wish
to reserve the choice of meeting this
scrip on maturity in one of three ways
cash, per cent. bonds or issuing new
stock at $3.50 share. The River Road
directors object to the latter provision
most strenuously. They do not see how
the Boston & Maine can guarantee to
keep the stock at that figure. Should it
stand at $3.50 it would be unfair to issue
new stock on the basis of $3.50.

Religious statistios Of Gorham

The beautiful town of Gorham that
has had settled pastor for more than a
century, and that ranks as one of the
first agricultural towns in the common
wealth, has recently been visited by the
missionaries of the Bible Society of
Maine, in connection with the systematic
visitation that is now being carried for
wavd throughout the state.
The report reveals the startling need
of such work Out of the 1872 families
in the town, 305 admitted that they sell
dom attended church; 161 school chill
dren were found in the town not attend
ing Sunday school; Is were supplied
with copy of the Bible, who were
found to be destitute.
The statistics gathered must be of
great aid to the churches, as it places in
the hands of all the pastors complete
list of the families not regularly attend
ing church, their residence, religious
pref and also list of the chill
dren not represented in the Sunday
schools.
If such need for an interdenomina-
tional home to home visitation can be
found existing in such town as Cor
ham, what must be the need of the work
in our cities where there is large float
ing element?
