We notice with delight the en
:reasing importance and resources of
>ur country. Every day seems to
hting forth some new discovery cal
culated to promote the happiness of
our people—among them the coal
mine on the Susquehanna, apparently
inexhaustible, is of the highest inte
rest ; situate close on the margin of
that noble liver, an easy mode of
transporting it to all parts of the U-
nion presents itself. Gentlemen con
versant in the properties of thi
mineral, pronounce the Susquehanna
Coal far superior to any hitherto
known. It has little or no smoke
or smell, creates less dust than a
ny other fuel, makes the hot
test fire of any known substance
while it seems almost incombustibh
from its duration. A native of Eng
land at whose house we saw a fire of
this coal, states, that, one peck of the
Susquehanna coal will cast out more
heat, and endure longer, than three
pecks of the best English coal he e
ver saw used. The only possible
objection to the Susquehanna coal is
that it requires rather more trouble
to kindle a fire with it than with the
common coal—this disadvantage is,
amply compensated, however, by th
fact that one good fire will burn 24
hours, and need never be suffered to
go out in a room where a fire is eve
ry day wanted.—Balt. Ev. Post.
