The cornmitee, to gether with aevetal gentlemen connected with the press, left here on Saturday morning at an early hour, and after a short and pleasant Jour- ney by trate artl ved at the place of destination and did not return until evening, so that they had a toll opportunity to investigate into the working of the system and decide for themselves of its oneness or ,failure. The gentlemen con nected with the lire department in Cleveland were also very obliging in explaining the theory of the system, after which they &honied them with what success the system was placed in op eration. The several engineers In the city, al ter giving then/ the alarm, were in a few Ink utes on the spot with surprising celerity. Al though it cannot be denied that the firemen knew precisely what was going on, and for title reason were willing to do their utmost to show the fineness of the telegraph, still It was truly astonishing to see with what celerity they tea ponded to the alarm. An engine would arrive from one of the most distant parts of the town to a few minutes with everything in readiness to extinguish a fire. Aftet several t•tals ot this kind, in which the naming of the engine that wan to be called was entirely at the option ort he committee, these gentlemen were entirely convinced of the sue :nos of the fire alarm telegraph, and returned home highly satisfied with the manner in which at worked. As everything in connection with this system his proved so satisfactory to the committee appointed to examine it, the proba bility is quit it will be placed Into operation In this city without delay. It Will not cost much to the city, and the many benefit, which are to be derived from it will no doubt recommend its adoption. The Price. of Coal.—The subject or the price of coal has been so often brought before the put.- tic, and it has been so often intimated that measures are being adopted for reducing it, that we fear the community will at length be induc ed to believe that their hopes are entirely with out foundation. This, however, is not the fact, and we feel confident that the coal question will be finally terminated to the satisfaction of all concerned. The coal dealers haie taken the matter in hands, and everything seems to in dicate that they intend to reduce the prices and provide the public with a sufficient supply of coal at as low rates as possible. At a speciiil meeting of the Coal Exchange, held during the latter part of last week at the Board of Trade Rooms, the necessity of adopting some means to reduce the price of.this necessary article in ' this city was considered. After considerable discussion Air. A. D. Smith moved that the President and Secretary of the Association be instructed to prepare a circular and send a copy to each coal works on the river, requesting them to send coal to the city to be sold at ten cents per bushel. News. Smith, Lisle and Willock were appointed a committee to take charge of such coal sent and see that it is prop erly disposed of. A committee, consisting cf ltteurs. T. P. Smith, Simpson Horner and E. H. Irwin, were appointed to prepare a memorial to the Councils of the two cities asking them to prepare a suitable place at the wharves for the leading and storing of coal, and also to have the obstructions in the channel at the Point removed. This fact shows that they mean bus-' inesa, and that they will exert themselves in this matter for the benefit of the public Eccinonfising Coal.—The Scierifflic Ameri can gives the following useful !Urfa upon Mrs subject, which are confirmed by every one's ex perience who understands the philosophy of coal fires: A good bright tire can be steadily maintained with coal with leas trouble than with any other ktdd of fuel, but not by reking, poking and piling in green fuel continually, Af-' ter breakfast the fire should be cleared of ashes, if there are any, and fresh coal put on to all the grate moderately. Let • the oven damper be turned nif so as to heat and leave the small top door open more or less, according to the In tensity of the heat required. In this way air enters over the top of the fire, and maintains a tar better combustion and consequently greater heat than when the draft dampers are thrown open. Important Order. he Provost Marshal General at ,Washington has sent the following important order to his assistant at Harrisburg in relation to the State Guard: •'The Secretary of War directs me to inform you that the President of the United States has ordered at folio we: In case the Governor of Pennsylvania shall organize the Pennsylvania State Guard and put in service under the State act for that purpose a number not exceeding five thousand, It is ordered that any member of said organization being drafted into the United States service be at once furloughed, so as to retain his place in said State organization, not receiving pay of the United States,, but the time counting on his term under the draft.
