For several years past we have been 'sending the REPORTER to quite a number of subscribers without receiving any pay therefor. Finding that this system is not a 4uocess,':we have determined to adhere strictly to the advance system hereafter. Therefore; all ,subscribers in arrears on • tne :31st of December will have their pa -pers discontinued ; -and: the amounts due will be collected: Those who do not wish .to pay costs must heed this notice and pay up before that date Furtherwore, experience has taught us • that the lowt price at which the REPOR TER can' be furnished'is One hollar and Fifty Cents, in clubs. Postmasters and others Rho have kindly interested them selves in increasing our- circulation will bear the fact in mind, and collect '1.50 from each subscriber, as nothing less than this stun will be accepted by us. After the fist of January next we shall! notify all' subscribers two weeks in ad., ranee of the expiration of their subscrip t tion. TUE most interesting fact in the debt statement for November, the last that will be given before resump tion bcc4f3cs a fat, is that the deb 4 , has been increased during the month •more than three millions. ' Had it not been for the payment of theltal ifax award, the reduction would have bee'n little more than two millions From the report Of_ the.Seeretary it __appears that the Halifax award was paid M the Treasury, bit four per cents were sold to make good the gold which was needed to make the payment. Congress need not start at this, for the amount reeeiCed from the Alabama award had been paid into the Treasury, and this was only taken out of the fifteen millions that we received on that account. The funded debt has gone down another notch,' having. been reduced, to $l,- 7;98,750,750. which is a decrease of more than nine millions for the month. owing to the redemption of six per cent. bonds' in excess of the sales of fours in the same period, The animal saving of interest by the operations that appear in, the .stat m-nt will be almost a million. In _-spite of this large redemption of sixes, the coin balance has been, re duced, only about a Million, and the , increase ia'the currency balance more than makes it- good: It is a good showing to put before the anti-re„ sumptionists. A TIIBUTE tb Senator Dos CAM- EnoN's liberality. At the QUAY ban .quct in . Philadelphia on Saturday evening, Ex-Governor - , YouNo„ of Ohio, in. response to a toast to.the President of the - United States;com meneed his remarks by acknowledg ing the compliment, and, in reference 'to the failure in Ohio in 1876; and ,the succeeding victory, said he came tO Philadelphia for aid, but found that it needed all its rescourceti.itself. He went from State to State and the :National Committee at Washington, but was refused. On his way f home, disheartened, hel Met DON CAMERON and told .him his troubles. "He 'wanted to know how muds! Ivanted." sald'Governor YOUNG. "I told pia], and he gave me a check for the amount. .He gavot us the State.of Ohio, and : l tell you there is a here aft r, and DON CAMERON shall not be 'forgotten." The Philadelphia Times in an edi torial on the lesson of the election in Pennsylvatnia, says Grow made' the battle in Pennsyl 7 vannia•and is the plumed. victor of the contest. It was in dirt oppo sition to the convictions' and' pur poses of the leaders when they form ,ed their lines and made their party deliveranee at Harrisburg ; but he made it so bravely and the response was so uumistittable,. that the mana4 gers, who were ready for any sort.ot money and any amount of it to win the election, surprised themselves, under Grow's tuition, by galling on the honest . side of the public issue that has proved to be the omnipotent factor of the campaign, here and else where.: TUE young man who edits the Dem ocratic organ occupieS nearly a column of hisl-japer in an effort to convince somebody that he was not responsi ble fq_.the success of the Republican ticket. ):olx•dy with a grain of com mon sense ever suspected the Argus of ipossessing any political influence.

A readjustment of the amount of bonds (required of 'county officials hits been made at the state depart ment which has received appruv- al of Governor HARTRANNT, the last previous elassifiMttion having been made in 1843, when WILLIAM F JOHNSTON was Governor. 1n,181 , 6 the legislature passed an act makinl the population of the several coun- ies in the state a basis of bond ad nstnaent. In confities having be- tween' 150,000 and 2;0,000 inhabit= ants sheriffs are required to give a bond in the amount of $60,0 0 ; between 50.000 and 150,000, $4100; between 30,000 and 50,000, $15,090 ; between 10,000 and 30,000, $10,000; under. 10,000, $B,OOO. The cordner's bond required under this law is one fourth the amount 'of that of the sheriff, the register's one-half and the reorder's one-third. No pro vision is made regulating the amounts of the bonds of the pro thonotary and various clerks of the court, and it consequently becomes the - tluty of the Governor to desig nate them. Under.the readjustment' just perfected ,the prothonotary's bond is $20,000 to the sheriff's $25,- 000 ; SIO,COO to the sheriff's $15,009 $.5000 do the sheriff's.sB,o o o clerk of court bond $5,000 to sheriff's $25,- 000 ; $3,000 to sheriff's $15,c00 ; $2,- 000'to sheriff's $10,000; $l,OOO to sheriff's $B,OOO. Under the ailjust tnent of 1848 the aggregate amount of the bonds of 'prothonotories was $583,000, while under Inc present it is $850,000. an excess of $267,000. In all the counties hut Lancaster, Chester, Washington and Sullivan the amounts of the bonds have either, been increased or permitted to re main at the- old figure. In Lancas ter the bond is reduced from $30,000 to $29,000 ; in Chester from $2 y-00 to $lO.OOO ; in Washington from $15,000 to $lO,OOO, and in Sullivan from $6,000 to $5,000. As the law does hot apply to Philadelphia the bond of •the sheriff ($80,000) and other officers is not affected by the classification. In Allegheny county the sheriff's bond is' increased from $'25;000 to $60,000 under the read justmeut, but there is a question whether this action will stand a ju dicial test, as the country had over 25d.000 population at the last United States census, on which the new classification is based. '• Tun New : York (dm. Advertiser says: The Commerehl reporters blve made inquiries of retail store keepers , who have been many years engaged, in their business, and have therefore had the experience 'Of.the times before the War, the flush tines which followed and prevailed during that exciting periol, and the present.' One Of theSe tradesmen, who has for twenty years been engaged in the grocery business. • said that he had seen flOur as high as $l4 per barrel, whereas now ,good ft9ur can be had at from $4...50 to $5, and the best $6. Tea was usually sold at from $1 75 to $2 50 per pound ; now it is from 45 cents to 80 cents. 'Coffee ranged from 50 cents to 80 cents per. pmnd' according to quality ; now very good coffee can be had for 3!) cents. Su gar has been as high as 28 cents per pound, but now it is sold at 11 cents. lie remembered the time when butter *as sold at 65 cents per pound ; now cents is considered a high price for a very , good quality. All other kinds of groceries were relatively lower than during the push times. A coal d aler said. that the reduc- tion in the , price of, coal was smile thing remarkable: Of course, when coal sold for $lO to $l4 per. ton it was wore than it was worth that was the 'ruling price and had to be paid, and the poor who bought in very, small quantities' when the regular price was $l4, aettially'paid at .the rate of $l.B to- $2:). Now good coal can be had, delivered at the house, at from ft 50 to $5 per ton: One of . the causes of the high price of coal at that time Was excess ive wages paid to the miners, and abother was the , cost of transporta tion; but when prices came down coal became lower. < Clothing and dry goods have also fallen considerably. A clothier do ing a large business said that where 8100-could be charged fora suit of clothes in the .flush times, wearers are now content with $25 to $35. Cloth. and workManship -ure both lower, and retailers have to be con tent with less profits. In the . dry goods business the fall has been very great. Stuffs which sold readily at 25 cents per yard can hardly _find -purchasers at 6 to 10 cents per yard, and less attention is paid to. style and pattern—comfort and warmth being more considered. In hats for men and women there has bgen a great' reduction, and the $2.50 ha) has taken .the place of the'slo silk hat, which has to I t* sold feir $5. Fashionable women have still to pay for "style," but not to the extent of former yearsi. the middle .classes be ing enabled - to-buy a-decent . hat for a reasonable price, fully 50 per cent. lower than in. Hush times. In hard ware, crockeiy, furniture, and other articles for the house, Inettiding car-, pets, the prices are leas than one half of what they were ten years ago.

It has been the policy of the department to place the four per ceuturocitonds within easy ream, of every citizen who desires to invest savings. wheth er small or great. in these ircurities. Tbe beery- Lary of the Treasury recommends that the law be so modified that small sums may be Invested, and that through the tomblike% or other s agents of the government, the freest opportunity may be given In all parts of the country for such investments.

A !LEST fltOX FINANCIAL LEGISLATION With views unchanged with regard to the act under which the coinage of silver procewd., it has been the purpose of the Secretary faithfully to exe cute the law, and to afford a !sir trial to the roes ure. In the present financial coi/Mon of Ike count I am persuaded that the welfare of legitimate b sluess and industry of every descrip.ion -will be best promoted by abstaining from all attempts to make railleafehanges In the existlnedinanclal 'Let it be understood that during the coming year the busine ss of the country will be tin disturbed by,governmental interference with the laws artlcling" it. and we may coofidsotly expect that the resnuiption of specie payments, which will take place at - the appointed time, will be success fully and easily maintained. and that It will be fol. lowed . by a healthful and enduring rev.val of busi ness preq.erity.

Several houses were disturb ed and lost their ballance badly by the shock, and a large chasm midden ly appeared in the ',roadway travers ing the unsettled region._ The falling rof the mine still goes on, and persons. in that vicinity are treated to something .like an earth quake on a — small scale, which, in many instances is rather alarminiri The sudden activity in 'teal . estate is anything lint pleasant.
