I I The auditors engaged the services of Counselor Kline, and made thorough investigarion, in the course of which it was discovered that by allowing Boyle his exonerationa on the same basis as was granted by the Poor Auditors to Patrick Kennedy, collector of poor tax, Boyle was short only about $400, instead of $1,500, and that there were available taxes, on real estate in West Hazieton and elsewhere that have not been paid this year, which when collected will make Collector Boyle square in his accounts with Hazle township. To Become a Farmer. A. J. and W.

M. Yeager, returned Wednesday from Sugarloaf Valley, where they had been settling up the accounts of 8 sale of their father's farm, amounting to $1,200. A. J. Yeager.

the younger of two brothers, will take possession of the farm immediately after the first of April. Mr. Yeager has been a resident of this place since boyhood and is at present employed by the Lehigh Valley RR. their shops, where he is known as An industrious and faithful workman. In his removal Hazleton loses one of its respectable young citizens, and that he will meet with the success he deserves in his new undertaking is reasonably certain.

A Novel Curtain Holder. The invention is designed to confine the lower end of a window certain, 80 that it will not flap when the window is open and the wind blowing. The device consists of two pieces of chain, of suitable length, attached to the lower end of the curtain near opposite edges, and two hooks attached to the window sill by means of one of the two links, and capable of engaging with the chains on the curtains. Two books are provided on the curtain stick for receiving the ends of the chains when not in use. The chains when looped up are rather ornamental than otherwise, and may take place of tassels.

The book may be brought into engagement with any of the links of the chains, thus permitting of the adjustment of the curtain to any desired height. Stauffenberg Still at Large. Oar contemporaries, after a great waste of words, announced that Henry Stauffenberg, who so wilfully picked up a harmless little boy from the pavement and buried him over his head, there by injuring him perbaps permanently, was to be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. There has been no such theught in the mind of Mr. Mamaw, father of the boy, and althougb, 88 we since learn, the proposition has been made him by citizens of the borough to pay all costs of prosecution -and all this simply for the purpose of baving Stauffenbere punished in the degree his doings Beem to merit- still hesitates to go to any further trouble about the matter.

It is feared the boy's injured limb will remain stiff for life. Personal Mention. -Ex-County Commissioner Stephen Turnbach paid us a visit yesterday. -Jerome G. Miller, of WilkesBarre, and James B.

Gallagher, of Allentown, were a visitors in town yesterday. -Alex. Shiner and family, of Sey bertsville, were in town yesterday. Mr. Shiner found the roads in rather bad condition on account of the break up.

Pardee at Hazleton, for a number of years, has returned to his former home in this place, having resigned his position there. Mr. Rupert wAS held in high esteem by dis former employers. Republican. -George B.

Markle, of Philadelphia, was in town yesterday. A Burglar Trap, For the good of our R. S. Beisbline, and such other business men of town who bave been annoyed by robberies of the contents of their stores and money drawers, we make known the following trap lately contrived by a country storekeeper: He arranged in the floor a trap door which perfectly matched the boards of the floor. In the day time the door was securely fastened, but at night on leaving the store 8 catch was 50 fixed that the moment the unsuspecting burglar stepped on the door to operate on the money drawer, the trap door opened and dropped him into a pit in the celiar below.

The sides of the pit were smooth and higher than a man's bead, 50 that once dropped the burglar could not escape. The trap closed automatically by spring, ready for a second bargiar. A practical trial of the trap proved successful, for one morning the storekeeper found evidence of an entrance to his store in the night and on looking into the pit discoyered the imprisoned burglar. He cooly went abont his business, and in due course of time had the burgiar arrested. The Coal Trade.

Anthracite coal rules quiet, bat with somewhat better inquiry from ports and places that are gradually working out of the supplies which bad been taken in. When the Spring rates are adjasted and the basis for the season is announced, there will be DO scarcity of orders, and fall time way be ventured upon for a limited period at least. We start this season with a reversed tion of things as compared with last year, and there is no reason why the year should not ebow fally as great a tonnage se in 1882. and at prices that will be profitable to all concerned. Operators are feeling so much encouraged with the prevailing demaod for coal that they have concluded to work fall time next week.

This may be well for week, bat until rates are fixed at which the season is to open, there should be a check apon the supply, or it may be that there is coal on the say that will be unloaded after rates are reduced. The increase of coal page up to date is only some 275,000 toss beyond the toutage in 1882. We bad idle days last gear, on the 231, 24th and 23th of March, and the fall week's work next week HOMES! HOMES! HOMES! Cheap, Durable and Easily Paid For. WITHIN REACH OF OUR YOUNG MEN AND MECHANICS. The undersigned is now prepared to sell on installments the Six NEWLY PAINTED and well built Gottages on Tamarack street below Cedar.

Any further particulars will be cheerfully given at the Banking House Markle Bros. Co. will make the increase to April first possibly half a million tons over last year to the same date. There is no particular feature of interesting in the bitu minous branch of the coal trade. The meeting of Western shippers of antbracite goes over until the 21st instant.

Rates are expected to be reduced to last season's opening figures. It is stated that the N. Y. Central will be enabled from its connections with the anthracite and bituminous coal regions Pennsylvania, and its new bridge over the Niagara, to put coal into Canada at rates that will prove attractive, and that this new opening will somewhat influence the trade.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING MARCH 15TH. As will be seen by a careful perusal of the market prices below there have very few changes taken place therein since last week. Grain and hay at Pardee's mill remains firm, which is also the case in flour and feed prices, with the exception of oats which have raised to 65 cents per bushel retail.

The principal change, and the one most looked for, has taken place in the price of eggs, which have come down from 24 and 28 to 20 and 25 cents per dozen. People should take advantage of the low prices, which are we believe as low as they will get and in all probability will go up 88 Easter approaches, After Easter eggs will of course come down still further. Butter bas also fallen in price trom 32 and 38 to 30 and 35 cents per pound, and there is DO likelihood of it going up in the immediate future. Turnips bave gone up from 20 to 30 cents, which is the only change to be noted in the vegetable and fruit market for the week just past. The live stock market remains very firm, as also does the meat and poultry market.

Chicago dressed beef bas ceased coming i in for some time, and the butchers bereabouts are still killing and dressing their own beef, and it is not very likely that the prices of meats will be influenced by the importation from Chicago. Spring and warm weather having now undoubtedly arrived, the farmers from the valleys will also cease bringing in dressed beef, as it will be impossible to keep it in good condition during the time consumed in hauling it about in search of customers.
