Anthracite formation of Wilkesbarre, &c. : 
done as with eight or ten of wood coal, and with a saving 
of time, we are warranted in the assertion, that the Lehigh 
Coal will soon supercede the use of charcoal altogether. 
A similar species of coal was introduced about five years

have been used in those counties during the last year. A 
powerful consideration with the farmer is, that by using 
this coal, there is no need of his retaining so large a propor-

his arable may be increased without any additional
