This combination of vexations details prevents those who have an accu mulation of coin from sending it to the miut, aud it seems as though the officials at Philadelphia intended that they should not be troubled with it. Every day a man rides to the newspaper and other offices iu a buggy, and buys the coin which has been taken in from the news boys and the customers. For the pennies and two cent pieces he pays ninety-seven cents a hundred, and for the three and five cent nickles he gives ninety-nine cents for a dollars' worth. The sellers are glad to dispose o( their coins at this discount. The man then rides to about the only trades men in the city who desire a quantity of pennies the pawnbrokers and to them he sells the coins at par, taking their notes for three months iu payment. The pawnbrokers who have shops among the poorer classes of people say that they j need small denominations of the fractinal j currency or coin, as many of their loans do j ' fxccid ten or tifteeu cents.

The Beading Kve says : Ou Wednesday Mrs. Mitchel vomited the third live black lizard from her stomach. She is the wife of Mr. John Mitchell, who resides in Cuipru township, and is em ployed as a machinist in the Philadelphia and Beading railroad company's shops, i and yesterday morning her husband i brought the reptile along to this city, when he came to work, and presented it iu a bot tle to Dr. Dundore, who is preserving it alive. It is 4 inches iu length, and is dark on the back and spotted, very similar to a trout, on the stomach. Last spring when returning home from this city in a carriage she vomited some thing alive, whilst she was leaning over the side of the vehicle, but did not stop to examine it. About two weeks as she felt a choking sensation and threw up into a basin at home a live lizard about 4 inches in length, and on Wednesday another one. About an hour thereafter she felt a choking sensation again in her throat, which led her to believe that there are more lizards in her stomach.
