Obituary—Edward Kenton.

Surrey, Ind., Dec. I,lßß6.—Edward Kenton was born Jan. 29, 1871, departed this life Nov. 29, 1886. A youth was he of sterling worth, and was esteemed by all who knew him, and will be sadly missed by the many iriends who mourn his untimely death. It seems sad that so promising a, youth should be laid low by the cold hand of death, just as he was entering the bloom of life; but so it has pleased God in His great and infinite wisdom, to take from us our dear young friend, wdiom we deeply mourn. But what is our loss is his gain, and sooner or later we must prepare to meet him on tne other shore. This is God’s promise, anrl is beautiful y portrayed in the following liims from Longfellow: There is no death, what seemsjio be, Is transition; this life of mortal breath, Is but a suburb of the life elysian. Whose Portals we cali death. Th funeral services were conducted at family residence on Tuesday, mber 3otb, by Eld. W. H. JBoWela A large concjodrse of frie*ds and acquaintances wefre present to gaffie for th# kttMftae upon th face of the-dPpdrrted, and to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of him who had but a few days before been one of their number. The body Was then taken from the residence to the Smith Cemetery for interment.

Monopolies in Soft Coal.

New York, Nov. 30.—Ike Herald this morning prints the following: “There is to be an advance of from 25 to 30 per cent, in the cost of bituminous coal. The price is to be pu* at a higher figure than it has reached in over three years. Two great combinations have been formed to control theentiresoitcoal output of the country. They have rules as rigid as cast-iron, and they have sent forth the edict: '‘Higher prices.’ And they have not only advanced prices but will say how much coal shall be mined, tvho shall mine it, what railroad shall carry it, and in what quantities, and what the freight charges are to be. Every railroad and every manufacturer in the country will be affected by this gigantic scheme, meaning, as it does, an advance of 60 cents per ton in the price of all soft coal hereafter to be used in every furnace and tn • j gine in the United Slates.

“There are to be two new pools controlling the soft-coal r reduction. One, the Ohio pool, has just been formed. It wil! irect absolutely the output from the great coal-field of Ohio. The syndicate consists of the four coal-car-rying railroads which control the transportation from that section — the Hocking Valley railroad, the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad, the Toledo & Ohio Central railroad, and the Pan-Handle division of He Pennsylvania system.hese four compan e i are name in the order of their importance as coal-carriers. Being in a posii n to dictate, they called the big coal operators together last week and formed a combination. The railroads advanced freight-rates on coal about 2-5 per cent, and said to the operators: “You must put v.p your prices 30 cents a ton all around at once. Lbter, by about the Ist of January, you must advance another 30 cents. Then we will stop and consider whether consumers will stand a further raise.— You must also restrict your mining so n's not to overstock the market. We will carry so much coal for you, and no more.”

“Each of the four companies has fixed on the amount of coal which it estimates the market will stand and the operators along its line have been notified tha f they must agree among themselves as to the relative per centagea of the total allotment allowed by the companies, for so strict h tve the i ailroads been in fixing the allotments and amounts which each operator cm be permitted to mine that operators must prove how much coal they can sell by exhibiting their orderboo s and their contracts. The headquarters of the Ohio pool is a Columbus, O. All the details of the programme have heen arrang(d and the first advance of 30 cts. per ton has already been made. “The other soft-coal pool is known as the Buffalo pool. It consists of the three railroads which, like those in Ohio, control all the product which comes to Buffalo for a market —the Rochester & Pittsburg railroad, the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia railroad and the Erie railroad. They are named in the rder of their importance as coal-carriers. They bring the yield from the western Pennsylvania coal-fields. This pool is not so far advanc ed as the western pool, and the advances in freights and in the cost of coal have not’ yet been made. They may be looked for next week. The first adavnee to consumers will b) 30 cents per ton. his will be followed by a second advance of a itke amount before January, according to the Statements of one who ought to know. This will be made before Jan. I, and wiil afford a pretext fur the GOe rise in Ohio coal.” Congress will assemble next Monday, and we trust early action will be taken in such measures gs will convince these monopolies that there is yet a God in Israel.

THE OLDEST AND BEST.

The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, enjoys the proud distinction of being the oldest family and literary paper in America, if not in the world. Originally established b Benjamin Franklin in 1728, and appearing in its present character in 1821, it has had an uninterrupted career of 158 years! As its originator, Franklin was one of the first men of vis time, or any time, both in ability and eminence. iTHE Post has ever tried to follow ts founder, by carrying out durng its whole course of existence he best aims and highest purposes of a family newspaper. In its management, conduct aud choice of reading materi 1, uselulness, puritv, morality, progress and en--1 rt; n.raent have always been its vichwords and its guides. The history of The Post is the history of American literature and authorship. Not to speak of those who, previous to and after theAVar <;i tue Revolution made it a power in the land, since 18zl there is bar ly a writer famous in the world of letters whose works have not adorned its pages. Among these may be mentioned Horace Greeley, Dickens, Mrs. South worth, Poe, H- lleck, Bryant, T. S. Arthur, Ned Buntline, Gilmore Simms, Ann S. Stephens, Mrs. Henry Wood and others

It is no wonder then that The Post claims the right to add to the glory of being the oldest family paper, the even more honorable title of also being the best. Always keeping in sight what w r as Highest, Purest, Most Entertaining, in a word, the Best in literature, it has never once failed in its long career to go forth as a weekly missionary into hundreds of thousands of the finest families in all quarters of the land, the most welcome and cheerful of visitors For the coming year The Post has secured the best writers of this country aud Europe, in Prose and Verse, Fact and Fiction. In these respects as in t e past it will only have the best. Its pages will be perfectly free from the degrading and polluting trash which characterizes many other so-called literary and family papers. It gives more for the money, and of a better class, than any other publication in the world. Each volume contains, in addition to its well edited departments, twenty-fiv? first-class Serials, and upwards of five hundred short Stories. Every number is replete with useful information and Amusement, comprising Talos, Sketches, Biography Anecdotes, Statistics, Facts, Recipes, Hints, Science, Art, Philosophy, Manners, Gust ms, Proverbs Problems, Personals, News Wit and Humor, Historical Essays, Remuikable Events, New Inventions, decent Discoveries, and a complete repor t of all the latest Fashions novelties in Needlework, and : idlest and freshest information >elating to personal and home adornment and domestic natters. To the people everywhere it will prove the best, most instructive, reliable and moral paper that ever entered their homes. Terms, $2.00 a year in advance. A specimen cony of this excellellent family paper will be sent free on application. Address, The Saturday Evening Post, (Lock Box), Philadelphia, Pa.

Peterson’s Magazine for December, that old favorite, is before us, ahead of all others. It may be called a “prize number.” It has two splendid ste. 1-engravings: one, “Meadow T -Sweet,” as lovely as we ever saw, and a title-page, with a beautiful girl’s face, also unrivaled: in fact, “Peterson’ is now the only magazine that goes to the expense, all the year through, of these eostly and elegant original steel-en-gravings. There is also a mammoth colored fashion-plate, likewise engraved on steel, and colored by hand—a ‘perfect love of a thing,’ as the ladies would say. Still more, there is a colored pattern, in Berlinwork, such as would sell for sis iy cents, but which is given, gratis, to subscribers, for a Christmas-gift. Beside these, there are about fifty wood-cuts o { ' fashion, embroidery and crochet patterns, etc. The literary contents more than maintain the long established reputation of “Peterson” as giving the best original stories. Mrs. Ann S Stephens, Frank Lee Benedict, Edgar Fawcett, Mrs. John Sherwood, etc., etc., being regular contributors. We do not see how r any lady or any family can be without this magazine; its tone is alw iys high and pure, so it is just the one for the home-circle. The price is but Two Dollars a year. To clubs, it is cheaper yet Jour copies for six dollars and forty cents, with an extra copy to the person getting up the club. For larger clubs, costly premiums are given in addition. Specimens sent, gratis, if wri ten for, so that there may be no deception. Now is the time to get up clubs. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
