received a car load of egg and CRATE
coal which was rapidly disposed of.
The Cooper Mfg Co, received five car
loads of soft coal which cost the com
pany delivered at the mill about $3.50
per ton. L. p. Norton received car
load of CRATE coal last week and teams

Peterson & Packer of Troy who con-
troll the greater part of the coal trade
in this section have sent out the fol-
lowing letter to their customers in
New England
Gentlemen Yours Of the 22d at
hand We regret to say that we are
not able to do any thing now. The
company has placed an embargo to
cars crossing the river here, conse-
quently we cannot make any ship
ments. Only thing that can be done
now is to purchase coal and have IL
reloaded from some yard into cars,
and that would cost at least $40 per
ton f. o. b. cars Troy. Do not know
as we could get coal even at that price.
H. w. Myers went to Troy Friday
in search focal He called on Peter
son & Packer and they corroborated
in person the sentiments expressed in
the above letter. He procured the
promise of a car load of chestnut coal
at the prices mentioned in the letter
above quoted. He was Obliged to dis
pose of the car load at So per ton.
Sheriff Wilson who was here over
Sunday stated that there was no coal
to be procured in Arlington. Many
of the residents there had driven to
Shushan and other places on the line
of the Delaware aud Hudson railroad
but it was impossible to procure a
pound at any Of the places.
Meanwhile wood continues plenty
here and the price has not been adj
vanced although dealers state that the
supply of dry wood is getting scarce.
Loring & Co. received three car
loads Of CRATE and egg coal Monday
afternoon which they easily disposed
of in quarter ton lots.

The Punkey has been enjoying him
self hugely since he was brought into
the light of day in these columns some
weeks ago. 1t was pre-ordained that
his visit should be brief and as hisfos-
ter-parent, The Reformer, is about to
be joined by the iron bands of matri-
mony to the Banner, so great is his
adherence of step-mothers, that the
Punkey renounces the Devil and all
hisworks and retires. You may seehim
again, but in so different garb that
you will not recognize him; indeed he
half intends to petition the county
court to permit himto change his name
so the Punkey bids you "Good-bye"
and starts for his birthplace at Suck

business.

On his return he flew over the crowd
of busy holiday shoppers and passing
a meat market on corner, he saw a
very pretty lady, with whom he had a
speaking acquaintance, accompanied
by curly headed boy, a real cherub,
visiting earth and Bennington for
short time. They bought a fine, big
turkey and put it in their basket and
you could see the celery sticking out
over the edges.

The Punkey went on, straight ahead,
over wide lawn to a great dark man
sion, from which no light came. He
tried the door and found it handbook
ed, the windows Offering no possibility
OF entrance; he was barred out even by
way Of the chimney. Evidently Saint
Nick would have hard job to get in
here. Finally he wedged himself in
between some shutters and looked
through an unwashed window into the
room, in which a very dirty candle
gave out a dim light

The lady and the cherub came out
and went down North street and when
they went into the house, the Punkey
sneaked in after them. Everything
smelled Christmassy, there were heaps
of ground pine and big bunch of
holly; and the boys we're popping corn
and the girls we're putting it on
strings. Then the lady put all the
brothers and sisters of the cherub to
bed and filled the stockings over the
fire place. Very soon she turned the
light down and retired to her room for
the night.

The Punkey was about to depart,
when he heard just the least patter in
the world on the stairs made by little
bare feet. Two little heads peeked
through the door and shortly after two
little boys had put their hands deep
into their stockings and drew them out
clutching good things. One looked up
from his toys and said, "Santa Claus
is the best man in the world"

A young man was sitting at table.
He was a handsome young man, but
his face was heavily lined and the
Punkey thought he looked little dis
apated, soon he buried his head in his
hands and the Punkey seemed to see
his shoulders heaving and thought it
very unusual performance for a
young man. AS he arose and began
to pace the room, up and down, a
knock came at the door and the bell
boy came in and laid an express pack
age on a chair. The young man
brought it over to the chair beside the
table and opening the package, sank
upon his knees beside it.

AS he drew out home-knit muller,
a ray of hope seemed to shine on his
face. The Punkey flew quietly around
to where he could see the paper which
surrounded the package and read,
