The Talk of the Two.
Hi#* dismantled bark Colorado
brought 17(0 tons of Com ax coal to tho
island last week and it Las becu passed
around, ?nd now it is tho talk of tho
town. Co where you will and you will
hear ntxmt that coal. It has becu
pretty cold for several days and the
confounded stutf wont burn miles*
you coax it with extra dry wood or
well seasoned shingles. It is almost as
hard as granite and verifies the old say
ing that you cuu't always judge by ap
pearances, for it is a fine looker. Men
and brethren, that coal is here, there
is no other, and it must lie used up at
from twelve to fourteen dollars per ton,
and there is no use of kicking or
squealing, but while we are doiug it
let us pray for some good old Ameri
can coal.
Kcetou, remomboriug that the printer
enjoys a luscious luxury, brought us in
a generous sample of McKay's now
homo smoked kicon.
