The coal is remarkably pure and burns very readily. He sent a specimen to t his office Mon dav by W. C. Mills, Esq., and it is pronounced by judges to be a very fine article of coal. The wri ter recalls that Mr. Ramsey told him some ten years, ago that he believed he had oil on his farm, as oil would rise to the surface of the water in a little ; swamp. We had forgotten about this until the dis covery of this coal brings it again to mind. . .

After their arrest a little over a week ago the revenue offi cers throughout the country began a search after the fraudently stamped cigars, with the result that millions of cigars sold by Jacobs & Kendig have been seized and the government is shown to have been defrauded out of about $250,000 of internal revenue. The trial of Jacobs and Kendisr, and their employes,' Taylor; anil Bre dell, will be helo in the United States court at Philadelphia on the third luesday in this month, lhey are now in Mayomensing prison, all except ivendi sr. wno is out on $25,000 bail.
