A Scranton dispatch of the 10th instant, gives the following particulars of an affair growing out of an ejectment suit: Constables Finch and Carman, armed with; a sheriff's writ, proceeded this (Friday) morning to eject Darby Melvin from a brick house on Mulberry street, in the central part of that city. As tbey were about to remove the furniture, Melvin drew a revolver and shot Finch in the head. At the ssme time Mrs. Melvin struck Carman on tho head with a mallet. Finch's injuries were serious, and be was taken to the nearest doctor's office. Melvin than barred his doors and win clows, determined to hold possession if it cost him his life. The only person with him was his wife. They had formerly been well to do, but, by a protracted litigation, lost their property. A decision was recently rendered against the husband in the 8u preme Court. He was diso!se6sed a few days ago, and his goo J s removed from the building; but believing that his wife's rights in the property, were still intact, he return el two. nights ago determined to hold it. Having vanquished trio',, constables, Mel vin hopedHo ifeut the sheriff in the iame way, and when he apared upon the scene ith his p ie;e the shots came flying thro the windows in quick -succession By this time a thousand persons had assembled in front of the he use, and tho situation was in tensely exciting. The sheriff and his men opened a brisk fusillade and sent a shower of balls whistling through doors and win dows. This did not have the desired effect of reducing Melvin to submission, as he re plied promptly, sending several bullets among the crowd. There was a great up roar. Some called out to the Sheriff to bat ter down the windows, others to desist, and then the shooting waa renewed. This con dition of affairs lasted nearly an hour, dur ing which time various efforts were made to break in front 'and rear. Melvin fought desperately, fired to kiil, and held the ofli cers at bay. At last the firing from within ceased, the doors were broken open, and it was discovered that Melvin had retreated to the celler, where he was found seriously wounded and bleeding profusely from i bullet wound In the cheek. He said lie had been goaded to despera tion by hia misfortune, and believed that he had been wronged by the parties who man, aged to obtain possession of his property He also stated that be had been advised by Ids lawyer to shoot the first man who at, tempted to dispossess him.

It was noticed that she was somewhat lithe in contour, and then, a day or two after, a bundle of rags was seen in their outhouse, upon which, the follow, ing dsy, ashes were thrown. The neighbors concluded to investigate the affair, aud the result is that Sabilla now languishes in the county jail. The verdict of the jury, as near as we could learn, was that the child was born alive, and that Sabilla Baker was t iainotheraud guilty party. Drs.

Won't the same parties who so liberally contributed to the new Concert Hell lead in some extensive busi ness enterprise here, thst will eventually pay them, end be a lasting blessing to the wholi community?

Monday's Phlla., Ledger: The anthracite coal trade has uudergone little change the past week, and the outlook lor the current year still rules quite favorable. The indi ationt are that the buiineis will' be large and the prices quite equal to those of last year. Asyetsofar this year there has been very little enforced control of the trade ; in act, little, it any, m.ire than sufllelent to show the ability of the trade to protect it self. It it now generally supposed that full time will hereafter be run, and there is no apparent reason to apprehend that prices will be lower. In addition to the usual an nual increass of anthracite coal tonnage for the current year, it is confidently expected that there will be a large addition of new coal markets which new routes of transiior tatlon to the West will reach. Oiircontem porary, the Xorth American, in its review of the coal trade, makes some wholesome suggestions! "Between the steadying influ ence of the adoption of a settled plan of re striction for the entire month, and the im petus given the demand for domestic sites by the heavy enow storm ol the 3d instant, and the accompanying spell of genuine winter, tbe condition of the trade this week bss been transformed from one nf dullness to one ofactivity. Prices a re well sustained, it is asserted, by all the companies, and there is tome indignation over the tltempts of enemies of the combination to create an impression that prices are being cut and that things are inharmonious generally. It is admitted that there are some individual operators who, whenever they have a lot of coal tbey can't get rid of anywhere else, place it on the New York market, and tho deluging of that quarter with odd slocks and qualities of anthraci'e frequently pro duces an appearance of demoralisation not justified by the condiliou of the trade in lo calities not subject to such exceptional in 0'iences. But the companies are represented to be full of business, nearly all sites shar ing in the activity. Many Iron furnaces were caught with light stocks on hand by the recent snow storm, and, afraid of a re currence of tbe difficulty, Increased the vol ume of their orders so largely that It was impossible to fill them with lump and steamboat, so they haye bad to take a good deal of broken and some egg. So sctive bss been tbe demand in the line trade this week that residents along the main line of the Reading haye teen tbe unusual spectacle of loaded coal traint runnlug up into tha BchuylkillValley, instead of down. Under the restriction agreement It hat been physical Impossibility to mine and ship enough downward from Schuylkill Haven to meet this demand, so coal tbst bad been brought to Port Richmond btt actually been shipped up the road again. Tbs cart which the Reading bss been lending to the bitu minout men to help them around Clearfield and Broad Top have been called back again and all tbe available rolling slock has been tuininoued iuto use to aid in diminishing the accumulated stock at the wharves. In addition some manufacturers are tending in large, orders for broken, large enough to In dicate that some preparation must be made for the spring dtmsnd soon to come In this use. Thut tbe entire trade is in t condi tion or sctivity, and tporadio cutting by the barnacles who cling to the outer edges of Ihe mtrket in New York are entitled to no more attention on tbe score or significance than are tbe sslet of odd lots of railroad nocks, u Third or Walnut streets when there ste folf qAofatleni on hundred share blocks." TbederoarYd for lamp. itesmboat snd broken coal is sufEclehlly active to-lake up sll these sites tbst can bt predated1 an-- dor the rsttrlctlvs policy which limits wort for this month to three dsys a week. There tt also an Improvement over last month In the demand for the demcstle sites, reducing the accumulation at tidewater points to a conveniently handling quantity. There Is a fair business done In the latter, except for the Eastern trade, which is dull, snd tbe efforts to forte It, especlslly in New York, ha-f e resulted In a rutting of prices from 40 to 40' cents a ton. Philadelphia prices are firm; February,- according to all past experience,-is the dullest month In tbe year for the coal trade, am) trot much it expected of It. It wst this fact lira I fed to general agreement to restrict lor tlifhrst three weeks of tbe month. Tbe wisdom' nf the poHey Is epptrenl in saving the trade front pfbstrs- tloB and a general cutting of prices which would have followed a large excess of cool over the needs of consumers- A continuance of the policy Is to be enforced just so long as nrcesssry to keep the market In good condition for the opening of the spring trade. The total tonnage of anthracite coal from all the regions for the week ending Feb. 5, as reported by the t, yeral carrying compan ies, amounted to 468,137 tons, against 403,- 995 tons in the corresponding week last year, an increase of 64,143 tons. The total amount of anthracite mined for tho year Is 2,143, 943 tons against 1,969,024 tons for the time period last year, an Increase of 165,919 tons.

And the "Pennsylvania Industrial Home for Blind Women" will Initruct and employ blind females of 21 years and upwards. The last two institutions are supported mainly by legacies and benevolent contrl buttons. It is very certain that a largo number of the blind In the counties know notbiug about these institutions; and also that very many who do know of them baye not had the friendly hand to prepare the way fer their coming here. It is obviously the kind office of every good cltiten and certainly the official duty of the Ouardiant of tbe Poor to look faith fully into this matter.
