Kelley A Thompson, well borers, discovered a vein of coal, and brought samples of it with them to Grand Island. The coal resembles the coal of Rock Springs and samples of it bave been sent forward to Omaha. It is stated that the operators broke their anger at the depti: of one hundred and fourteen feet just after they struck coat Numerous jlnns are being suggested for a "flexible currency," or in our own language, an India rubber currency. Oar representatives should be careful not to give the people such a flexible currency that in the trial of a panic it would stretch into a "mid cat" or any other cat currency, and thereby elude the grasp of the citizens. It our wise men who have the authority to change the present plan of our currency are so much opposed to the nationid banks as to have nothing mor to do with them, then we beseech them to give the people government treasury notes, the genuine greenbacks.
