Passed. The Early Discovery of Coal. Bituminous coal, or sea coal, was known upwards of a thousaud years ago, in the year 853, but did not cobio into general use until the sixteenth century, and was not used in the manufacture of iron until tho seventeenth century. Au- ] thracite coal came gradually iuto use so late as the nineteenth century, and was not used as fuel in the manufacture of iron until about sixteen years ago. Bo early as 1790 anthracite coal was known to abound in the county of Schuylkill, in the State of Pennsylvania; but it being of a different quality from that known as sea c >al or bituminous j coal, and being hard of ignition, it was j deemed useless until the year 1795, when J a Pennsylvania blacksmith named Whet- ! stone brought it iuto notice. His sue , cess in burning it induced persons to i dig Tor it ; but when found, every per son connected with the enterprise hud to experiment on its combustion, and vaiu were the attempts to burn it by the majority of them, and all came to the conclusion that it would not come into Ijcuurui use. About the year 1800, Mr. Morris, who had a largo tract of laud in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, procured a quantity of coal therefrom, and took it to 1 Philadelphia city, but he was unable with all his heroic exertions to bring it into notice, and abandoned all his plans. From that time until 1806 it was talked about as a humbug ; when accidentally a bed of coal was found in digging a tail race for a water wheel for a forge, which induced another blacksmith, David Berlin, to make a trial of it. His success was generally made known, which induced others to try'to burn-Pennsylvania coal. i Water and Disease. i The Journal of Chemistry warns the i drinkers of water from wells near dwell- | ings to beware of the typhoid poison, ; sure to be found sooner or later in those i reservoirs, if any of the house drainage can percolate them. The gelatinous j matter often found upon the stones of | a well is a poison to the human system, ; proi ably causing by its spores a fermen- i tation of the blood with abnormal heat j or fever. Wholesome nnf.ainf.fwl i is always free from all color and odor. I To test it thoroughly place half a pint in a clear bottle, with a few grains of \ lamp sugar, and i-xposo it, stoppered, to sunlight in a window. If, even after 1 an exposnro of eight or ten days, the water becomes turbid it is a sure rndica- 1 tion that the water has been contara-1 , mated by sowers go of some kind; if it | ! remains perfectly elm;- it is puro and 1 safe. The Communities. The population of the Communities in the United States, an authority tells us, may be rouarh'v estimated as follows : The Shakers, '2,400; ;ho Fnrmori-'4 * 100; the Eben-Ezers, 1,500; tuo Zoarites, 800; the Oneida Perfectionists, 300 ; the Aurora-Bethel Societies, 600 ; total, 5,200. They are located in eleven States, namely, Maine, Hew Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa and Oregon. A Now Amusement. The litest amusement is termed the "Printer's Delight," and is performed in the following manner : Take a sheet of note paper, fold it up carefully, and inclose a bank note sufficiently large to pay up all arrears and a year in advance. And what adds immensely to the feat is to send along the name of a new subscriber, with the cash to balance. Keep your eye on the printer, and if you detect a smile the trick is a success. Try it. If yon have a discharge from the nose, offensive or otherwise, partial loss of the sense of smell, taste or hearing, eyes watery or weak, foel dull and stupid or debilitated, pain or pressure in the head, take oold easily, you may rest assured that you have the catarrh.

Tba standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are ScmtNca'a Pulmonic Strop, Schxncr's Ska Wkf.d Tonic, and Schknck'b M anorak* Pills, and. If tak-n before tbe lungs are destroyed, a speedy core Is effeoien. To those three medicines Dr. J. II. ScliencK, of Phlladelpbla, owns his unrivaled success In the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens tbe morbid matter In the lungs; nature throws It off by an easy expectoration, foi when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw It off; the patient has rest and the lungs begin tc heat. To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's Mandrake Plils and 8chenck'a Sea Weed Tonlo mast he freely need to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake PUls act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, tbe bile start* freely, and tbe liver la soon relieved. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic la a genUe stimulant and alterative; the alkali of which It la composed mixes with tbe food and prevents souring. It assists the digesUon by toning up tbe stomach to a healthy condition so that the food an the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood ; then the In'ngs heal, and the pvtlant will scr< ly get well If care la taken tojirevent fresb cold. nu ?no Winn to consult l)r.
