How COAL, WAH DISCO VBBED -IX j PKUXSXLVANIA.-A wri.tor-in.tae New York Obseraer asserts -that .'CeSanei.! George Shoemaker, a gentleman of Teutonic or'igiu, was tire discoverer of Pennsylvania coaL, ...He lived, en the Schuylkill, and owned extensive tracts. The writer goes on to say: J It chanced one dav, that in con? structing a lime-kiln, ne used some ol ? the black stones that were lying about the place. "Mine Got! mino Got! der sthones pe all on fire!" exclaimed the astonished Dutchman, when " the rich glow of the ignited anthracite] met his gaze. Tho neighbors, who, of - course, were few and far between, were, after much ado, assembled to witness the marvel. This happened in 1812. Shortly after, mine host loaded a Pennsylvania team with the black stones, and journeyed slowly to Philadelphia, a distance of ninety three miles. There unforeseen diffi? culties were presented. The grates and stoves then in use were not con? structed to facilitate the combustion of anthracite, and burn it would not. After 'many ineffectual efforts to ignite the product, it was thrown aside as worthless, and our discomfit? ed German, who had beguiled his toilsome way to the metropolis with dreams of ingots, returned to digest bis disappointment in his mountain solitude. - Nitro-glycerine oil, before it was used for blasting, was used by the homoepathic doctors to cure the headache.
