Probably others are yet to be heard from.

All of these people have sent in claims for the reward offered by a medicine man in Rochester the discovery of new cornets. Equal division of the prize among the claimants, will give the latter about 9 cents apiece, hardly enough, we should imagine, to persuade them hereafter to sweep with eager eyes boundless spaces of the firmament. The regular astronomers appear all to have been asleep. This is only one of many recent dications that the astronomers are contracting the habit of going to bed regularly night and getting up their work clandestinely in the day time out of the encyclopedias.

We are, however, assured that very soon the visitor will, show itself earlier in the evening, time for the astronomers to examine it before retiring to bed at the usual hour of ten o'clock. It will be remembered that Professor Proctor prophesied that if a comet should appear during the present year, there would be good reasons for apprehending the destruction of the world. This comet, we belieye, is the third or fourth that has come bounding into our system, and confident pections are entertained that we shall visited by two or three more. There is a very serious probability that Mr. Proctor knows no more about the relation between comets and terrestrial destruction than any other man; but if any person feels alarmed at his saying, that person will do no harm to ciety or to himself by paying his subscription to the CARBON ADVOCATE, reforming his conduct, and getting ready tor the final catastrophe.

His mind The Conl Trade. We have little, says Monday's Ledger, to report of change in the anthracite coal trade.

In nearly every respect the trade is about the same as it was this day last.week. There is still a scarcity of transportation, which delays shipments of coal. There is little or no oversupply of coal in stock, and no demand for coal except for the reason that there is a lack of immediate transportation. Work at the mines was suspended three days during the last half of the past week, but at all the mines of all the seyeral regions work will be continuous all the present week. Next week there will be another three days' suspension, which will include the anniversary of the Fourth of July, so that it is expected that there will be nearly a full month's working in July.

The Executive Committees of the Lehigh and the Schuylkill Coal Exchanges met on Thursday, and, after considerable discussion, decided to make no change in the price of coal for the month of July. Prices bave generally been maintained, and the present outlook of the anthracite coal trade is in favor of only so much of curtailment as will keep prices at a fair renumeration for coal. The supply of coal will no doubt equal the demana, and so make the coal trade of 1881 fairly profitable. The Miners' Journal says: "At the Mine Hill Gap Colliery of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company a short tunnel, juet finished, has struck the Crosby vein, 13 feet thiek. A specimen taken from the top bench, which is five feet thick, shows as fine a piece of coal as any in the region.

We are glad to notice that Pennsylvania keeps up her proportion of the coal supply of the United States. In 1879, of 31,000,000 tons mined, Pennsylvania produced 21,500,000 tons. In 1880 the product was 66,000,000 tons, of which Penneylvania mined 42,500,000 tons. The remainder came from twenty-two States and Territories, in the order named: Ohio, Illinois. Maryland, Missouri, West Virginia, Indiana, Iowa and Kentucky.

The others mined less than a million tons each in 1880." The Engineering and Mining Journal says: "The present outlook is in favor of: a continued curtailment of production during July and unchanged prices. It is evident, however, that buyers will have to contend with higher prices for coal and higher rates of freights earlier in the season, and we again repeat our advice to take advantage of the present condition of the market, which is not likely to be materially worse before winter. Harmony appears to reign again among the companies, and there is nothing at present to indicate a disruption or eyen a change of programme during this year. There is a certain amount of uneasiness on the latter question, but there is no preceptible move ment to cause trouble." The present prices of coal are pretty well sustained if any cutting is being done at all just now it is done very quietly, and the companies are conting a 1 possible increase for August. The demand from both East and West is fairly good and gradually improving, and the Southern market is better than usual at this time of the year.

The market is likely to be stronger in July, for consumers will lay in their long delayed fall and winter supply to a great extent in anticipation of almost certainly higher prices for August. They bave postponed it for so long that an active time of it may be expected when they do begin, which, there is reason to believe, will be pretty soon now. The July production programme has not yet been agreed on, further than for the week between the 3d and 10th, which is one of the half time alternate weeks of the June programme, the only difference being that the three days of suspension are the 4th, 5th and 6th instead of the last three of the week. The Reading people have more than 75,000 tons at Port Richmond, and say they can get rid of no. all they have very readily.

They think the programme will be full time for July after the 10th, but in this the wish may be father of the thought, and most other agree that a prolongation of the June arrungement of alternate weeks is more likely. The eity ani line trade is quiet now, but will be more active soon. The total tonnage of anthracite coal from all the regions for the week ending June 18, as reported by the several carrying companics, amounted to 638,769 tons, against 414,813 tons in the corcesponding week last year, an increase of 223,956 tons. The total amount of anthracite mined for the year is 11,604,877 tons, against 9,579,822 tons for the same period last year. an increase of 055 tons.

Amended Game Laws. The amended game laws of the State, passed by the last Legislature, prohibit the killing of elk or deer save only from the 1st of October to the following 31st day of Deceinber also the sale or transportation of elk deer, antelope or fresh venison except in the time named. It prohibits the killing of a fawn when in its spotted coat, and also the pursuit of elk or deer with dogs; also the killing of either of these animals in the water when driven thereto by dogs. The penalty for a violation of the foregoing is $10 for each animal killed, and the dogs engaged in the chase may be killed. A fine of $10 is imposed for catching black bass, rock bass, Lake Erie or grass bass, pike or pickerel or Susquehanna salmon between January 1 and June 1.

14. CHiLdREN'S MEETINGS. On Wednesday evening, the 22d of this month, a children's meeting was held in the Evangelical Church at New Mahoning. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon, in company with about fifteen persons, we rode up the valley with the purpose of having an enjoyable time feasting in a grove before the meeting. Of course we had our baskets with us; well, later, with good things such as cakes, pies, boiled eggs, we stopped in a beautiful grove about three miles from the church, and after spreading our eatables in one long table on the bosom of mother Earth, we prayed, and then followed the imposing ceremony of eating to our heart's content.

We remained in the grove about three- quarters of an hour, and left it happy and contented. The meeting in the church was opened by singing the bymn, antly Able to Save," and prayer by W. C. Weiss. The first address was delivered by Rev.

Miller; he presented the importance of the Sunday School cause, and the improvements made in persons by the Christian religion. Levi Wentz, of Millport, spoke of the adyantage gained by becoming a Christian while young. Rev. Stauffer, Mauch Chunk, spoke of the way to heaven. On Saturday evening a meeting was held at Big Creek.

After prayer and song John Arner, of Weissport, spoke in a very excellent manner from the words, "Bemember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." The speaker gave a number of very excellent reasons for now remembering our Creator. J. K. Rickert spoke to the parents and children in the German language. Rev.

Smoyer supplied the place of Rev. Miller, and spoke of being tired. THE LEHIGHTON EYAN. CHILDREN'S SERVICE. According to previous announcements, Rev.

Smoyer preached a children's sermon to the Evangelical Sunday School on last Sunday eyening, on the subject of "Little Sins." The speaker took his text from James ili, 5: "Behold bow great a matter a little fire kindleth." He commenced the discourse by telling how great fires commence. By a block of wood saturated with water and the impossibility of lighting it with a match he showed why it is impossible for little boys and girls to commit great sins at once. He then built an imaginary fire of shavings and sticks of wood, representing evil company, evil words, evil actions, selfishness, disobedience to parents, lying, swearing, etc. He then showed how easy it is for a person to commit a great sin, after committing little sins, and spoke of the progressive nature of sin, The service Was very interesting and instructive. THE WEISSPORT EvAN.

At the quarterly collection lilted last Sunday, they raised the snug sum of twenty dollars. Is there a Sunday School in the lower part of the county that can do better? THE LEHIGHTON PRESBYTERIAN S.

S. The Presbyterian Sunday School of Lehighton will hold their annual anniversary on Thursday evening, the 7th of July. The programme consists of singing by the school and also by two classes separately. There will be a number of recitations and other exereises by the boys and girls to make the occasion enjoyable. We are certain that the exercises of the evening will be of a nature to speak well for the school and its officers.

Severe Storm At Easton. The storm which passed over Easton between 1 and 2 o'clock Wednesday, we now learn did great damage in the country adjacent, and was a remarkable one in many respects. Previous to the rainfall, and before the wind got up, there was a fall offine dry snow for a few moments, obseryed in many places in and around Easton. The storm was but half a mile wide at the most, and it tore its way along the narrow path with awful violence. On the outskirts of Easton in Forks township, it whirled the fences into the air, carrying great fence rails hundreds of feet, uprooting corn and wheat, and doing much damage to frame buildings.

There was no hail in Easton, but but in Forks township for about five minutes large bail stones fell, and, among them, some large jagged lumps of ice. Benjamin Larch's barn was blown over, and, the course of the storm passing through his timber land towards the Delaware, dozens of trees were uprooted and blown down. In town the streets were flooded, cellars and basements inundated branches of trees blown off, and considerable damage done to gardens. There were only a few vivid, wicked flashes of lightning, and they were accompanied by sharp, cracking thunder. The Court House was struck by he lightning, and a large piece of plaster, torn off the ceiling in the Court room.

There was no court at the time, and some of the officials in the room below, bearing the fall of the plaster. rushed up stairs and found the room filled with a thin blue sulphurous smelling smoke. The beat was intense during the afternoon, and at the height of the storm, with rain fulling in torrents, the thermometer marked 82 degrees. STATE NEWS. Hon.

I soon began to lose my appetite and flesh. I was so weak at one time that I could not leave my bed. In the summer of 1877 I was admitted to the Uity Hospital. While there the doctors said I had a hole in my left lung as big as a half dollar. I expended over a hundred dollars in dootors and medicine.

I was 80 far gone at one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of DR. WM. HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. I laughed at ny friends, thinking that my case Was incurable, but I got a bottle to satisfy them, when, to my surprise and gratification, I commenced to feel better.

My hope, once dead, began to revive, and to-day I feel in better spirits than I have the past three years. 1 write this hoping you will publish it, 80 that every one afflicted with Diseased Lungs will be induced to take DR. WM. HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS, and be convniced that CONSUMPTION Can be Cured. I have taken two bottles and can positively say that it has done more good than all thother medicines 1 have taken since my sickness.

My cough has almost entirely disap. neared and I shall soon be able to go to work." Sold by J. DURLINE, Lehighton, and all druggists. Deo. 18.
