cTaa Coal Trade in Danger—-Me® as a Substitute.—*A« exchange paper says, that '« Dr. Thomas Hooker, of New Orleans has discovered a chemical preparation, which, mixed with mud as a bricklayer would mix lime with sand, makes an excellent coat /—coal that can bo made and sold in the Now Orleans market for thirty cents per barrel, if made by hand, ,or fifteen cents, if made by machinery. It lights easily ; there is no offensive smell emitted • but little smoke, and but very little dust or cinders. What littlo cinders aro left, is good fopacleaning silver, brass or other similar metals; and the asfies make a tolerable sand paper, and is also good for scrubbing floors, c. The patentee also assures ub,” says tho American Exponent, “that it will not only burn well in grates, but in stoves, furnaces for smelting and for making steam, fn fact it can be put to all the practical uses of wood or coal, except for tho purpose of generating gas.”We hope Dr. Thomas Hooker will visit Carlisle before many days, as we have an immense amount of mud here that wo would like to boo convorted into some other use than rendering the streets impassable. If tho doctor can convert it into fuel he is welcome to it. Wo hope our Koow-Nohing Counoil will throw no obstacle in the way.Ruts *0* Young IIoosEKBEpiBS.—The small-Mt nntilbla waste. without pinching.
