But American ingenuity has at length invented a plan which, if pat intoex •eation, will no doubt bo successful in reducing the prices at least of one of the greatest neces saries. It would be utterly impossible for any of ns to do without Juel, and as this is one of the greatest necessaries,it of course first attract* ed the attention of those who wished to reduce the prices* This was the first step, but we are of opinion that if this proves successful the same attempt will be made hi regard to every thing else. In the Eastern cities companies have been formed to reduoe the prtoe of fuel, solhab the poor, at least, maybe afforded a necessary sup ply at cost. We do not entertain' the least doubt that, with proper these companies will prove an entire success, and in that case the benefits to be derived from them both to themselves and to the poorer will be incalculable. If they prove a success-in the Eastern cities we see no reason why they should not be attended by the same success here. We have a great many advantages ove the Eastern cities, which will enable us to for ward the scheme with a greater amount of suc cess* We believe that some of our wealthy citi zens are already making arrangements to organ ize companies for the put pose of obtaining coal at cost for themselves and selling it to the poor er classes at less than market prices. This plan will prove highly bsnefioial to both, and we hope that it will be followed with all the success that it merits. Not only coal but every other neoestary culd be obtained at far lower rates 1 than they are at present if this plan were pot i into operation, and we hope that our capitalists < will pay attention to this fact. . The New Currency —There are a. few specimens of the fractional currency now being issued by the Treasury Department. The bills are moo t larger than those now in use. As put ting them to the test is the only way to prove their durability, we will not as yet venture to give our opinion in that reapeot concerning these new notes. Whether it be possible to counterfeit these bills it would be difficult for r us to-determine. No doubt some of our sharp counterfeiters will decide the question ere long. They have succeeded in counterfeiting even the greenbacks, which at first was deemed impossi ble by the Treasury Department. Aa far as the present fractional currency is concerned we are of opinion that those who are connected with the Treasury Department will find some difficul ty in discerning the genuine notes from the counterfeits, which, in some Instances, are very well executed, although in most oases the en graving and coloring is so miserable that they are easily recognized. Unsuccessful Attempt at Robbery On Monday night a man who gave hia name as George Saunders made an unsuccessful attempt, to rob the dry goods- store of Messrs. Thompson & Groetzinger, corner of Federal and Water streets, Allegheny. He entered the store through a rear window, and while inspecting the jgoods became alarmed at some noise and Jump ed or fell through a front window, breakings valuable pane of class. He was noticed by two men engaged at the store, and who were At the time passing along the street, when they gava the alarm, but the man succeeded in mak ing his escape. He was, however, soon after wards arrested by the night watch on suspicion of being a thief, and on being oonveyed to the Mayor’s office he was recognized as the man who broke the glass. He was committed to JaU for trial on a charge of attempted burglary. Attempt to Rob tbe gteubenTUle Friday night last an attempt waa made to rob the Jefferson Branoh Bank of Steu benvilie. The parties who made the. attempt bored out a panel in the front door. They also bored some four or Are holerthrough the outer part of the door, but were unable to penetrate the Inside facing, which is of heavy wrought iron. If the thieves had gotten inside of the bank they would still have had the most diffi cult part of their work to perform t ~aa of the bank are in one of the best vaults In the State and frsafe -of the most approved patent in the country, impervious alike to powder and files. Pardoned. —A pardon was granted b y the Governor to the man Stapleton who killed Ma ry Burke alias McKee some time ago in this city. For crime he had been sent to, the penitentiary for a term of six years, but he was released on Tuesday, after having served about ten months In prison. Stapleton waa formerly a resident of California,where he enjoyed a very favorable reputation, and where he has a large of circle friends, who made several appeals to the Governor in his behalf. Af the time he killed Mary Burke he waa übdertbie <of liquor, and it is prohable that were it not for ihis (ant he would never nave been guilty of murder. .We understand that he intends return ing to California. Business In the City.—A .considerable amount of business was transacted lathe city during the last few days, although the demand was far greater than the transactions. The oil business has thrown everything else in the ahfeie, and the greatest excitement sftU prevails in regain to oil stocks. The diflferent exchang es are weil patronized, and oil stocks* change hands in a very Shi rt space of time. Ae yet the demand for oil is greater than the supply in the market, though an immense amount of oil is bt* ing produced at the wells. CMjr Health.—The city still continues to be remarkably healthy. Only sixteen deaths are reported for the week ending December Bd, of whom eight were adults and eight children. This Is quite a limited number for such a laige city asThls is, more especially at this time of the year, when, owing to the change in the Wtather, those who are laboring from indisposi tion generally suffer more than at any period of this yeax^ Hotel-keeper Robbed.—Mr. S. K. Frey, proprietor of the Beaton House, In Union town, was robbed on last Saturday night of about by a party of young Americans of Afri can descent, one of whom had been employed at the bouse. The boys were recently styestyd and all the money recovered except about fifty'9ol* lars. Fraudulent Welghti is stated that fraudulent weights are now used extensively la the market, and consequently the people when making purchases there,dd not receive tun fall worth of their money. Fraudulent weighs are entirely out of order during these times of and they should by all means be abolished.
