—Upon an adequate and reliable currency
depends everything of financial, and conse
quent social healthiness in communities.—
Hence that part of Governor Polloclia late
Inaugural, relating to Banks, 'i's regarded, we
believe, with general favor, as indicative of
an official course, on the part of the Execu
tive, that will, tend greatly, not only to relieve
'the present monetary Pressure, by reviving
confidence in business prospeets, but also to
establish& wholeiome banking systemthrough
,out‘the eqtire Commonwealth.
His Excellency, instead of taking the broad
ground of opposition to all increase of bank
ing facilities, like his predecessor, (though
contrary to his professions, the latter Subse
quently allowed- all manner of "shaving
sh6ps" to slip through his official fingers), has
more wisely marked out the true Hue of, poli
cy-Lpronaising to exercise a judi'cious dis
crimination upon applications for new banks,
and being willing to grant such but only such
ad are really needed.' It. now requires but
that Governor Pollock should folloW up, care
fully and decisively, the course be has so fa
vorably preieribctd, to commend his action in
this matter generally to the business 'portion
of the cutire-Conimonwealth..
Opposed, as we most uncompromisingly
are, to the indis.cAlninate multiplication of
banking institutions, there is, nevertheless,
both''reason and justice in the application for
increased facilities, where the business neecs
sities of 'communities clearly demand them.
In these cases, but in no others, do we favor
such applications ; in which the peculiar na
ture and extent of the b'usiness of the several
communities should determine the action of
thelliegislature and of the Governor.
With these preliminary
.views of the sub-
ja4 we ernot withhold the expression of our
heirty concurrence in the now pending ap
plication of the Miners' Bank of this place,
for an increase of capital. The business ne
•ecisilies of the. community clearly demand it,
and the institution is in every war worthy of
such favor. The nature of the business of
this immediale Region requires liberal faCili
ties, for its proper and successful prosecution,
and• in their absence our business men are put
to great inconvenience in seeking the neces
sary facilities for the transaction of their bus
iness Abroad, or are left to the tender mercies
of shavers at home. It is from this cause the
fact has been tiilly established, that this is the
worst shawl community, perhaps, in the State.
The Miners' Bank has the entire -confidence
and respect of the community, and stands
fair wherever known. The character of iti
business has. always been above suspicion,
and no charge of favoritism oe of illegal con:
nexion with any sort of brokerage establish'
ment, so far as we are aware, has ever been
raised. against it.. Tofeterease the capitar of
such an institution would be far preferable, for
general accommodation, to even the establish
ment of a new Bank in our midst; as,the lat
ter would require considerable time, to aegOire
the necessary reputation, for such puirpos4.
One of the prominent inconveuiences:'
~ ,ai
tending its present limited capital is
,the int:
Possibility of negotiating most, if not'all, the
local paper of the business community. That
which occurs in the prosecution of the Coat
Trade—such as drafts, 4:c.—is rightfully giv:
en the prefercnce,• and' it alone amouutin - ;
lxi)a large figure, engrossesmore than all the
banking means the whole° County can af
ford— necessarily lea'ring still a largoamount
of purely local paper, just aslegititnate as the
Coal paper,:uniouched or at the mercy of our
numerous shaving shops.
Another disadvantage the community suf
fer from this Bank's cant of the ci6lired bus
iness facilities, is the influx of - all manner of
trash in the shape of currepe, to keep the
wheels of business in motion. This is a se;
rious inconvenience, ;one ':.Which of itself
would induce us to urge the present applica
tion of the Bank. it the means to affitrd
sufficient accoMniodation foi- the extensive
business operations of the place and Region,
there would be no necessity, as there now is,
to submit to this imposition from abroad.
For the same reasons we can see no reas
onable objection to chartering a hank in Ta
maqua; but on the contrary, every argument
of financial policy and justice to that commu
nity favora the establishment. of such an in
stitution there. The citizens of that place
have at present no banking institution nearer
them than Pottsville--distant 18 miles. Their
•
business, both iu Mining And general mer
chaadize, is already large, ante like the town
itself, is rapidly increasing. • Under the cir
cumstances, we lime no hesitation in saying
that a bank in Tamaqua is indivenBable to
the convenience and legitimate prosecution of
.bnsiness, on the part,of her people. ,

this principle, don't seem to understand whist
Democracy is,—they are, generally speaking,
a set of ignoramusei, so far as buiiness is
concerned—in fitet, a cheat and a fraud upOn
the community. Take the present Congress,
for instance, and how many understand. even
the first, principles .of brisiness, or any busi

ty-five millions of' people? Scarcely one in
ten. In the only recommendation three
fourths of them' *aimed, when elected, was,
that they had ehownto the community their to

any business pursuit; whatever; and the peo

Among the published transactions
, of the last an
nual session of the Pennsylvania Stite Medical
Society, held in this place, appears in kull the Re
port for this county—one of the very blest .reports.,
professionally considered, in the whole veldt:se—
,
froin which we make a few extracts of ixopular in
terest, as ftillows:
Surgery, in consequence of the pecutiar branch
of industry pursued by oar populatiOn, finds a
large field , for its'exereise, especially in the treat
ment of injuries. The management isf these is
generally simple, in accordance with tbeplan pur
sued in the Pennsylvania Idpspital. Under this
treatment, and in some good degree, also, in con
sequence of the pure air of our mountain region,
mast of the injuries which occur do *ell. It is
1 eldom that an injured part is attacked by erysip
elas ; and when this is the ease, The di'sease easily
yields to an appropriate treatment. 4 •
In obstetrical practice, our physicans are fre
quently obliged to resort to the usevof "thd forceps,
in consequence of the peculiar habits 'of our for
eign population; pendulous abdomen, and similar
Aunoyaneee, are also among those of epinmeti oc
eurrence. The result of instrumental 'delivery is
generally successful, and the only fatal cases are
those in which the resort to the foreepS has been
too long deferred. No case of placenta previa; or
of puorpentl convulsions, has been re p orted. A
few cases' of hysterical convulsions occurred du
ring the summer...

If, we would present a general character of
Schuylkill County, we should have to class it
among_ the healthy portions of our Slate. It is
true that the mortality (1.44 per cont.) is not be
low the average; but if" we deduct the ;large num
ber of deaths which oceut from accidents, and
which have no connection with the sanitary con
dition of 'the locality, but result entirely from the
nature of the occupations of the great miss of
the population, We shall find that the Mortality is
much 'below the general average. F4rthermore,
even the Mortality from injurieth is less that' in
other localities, the rendition of the •atmosphere
beirg such as to preseut no impediment to the
surgeon in his efforts to save an injutied part, or
oven the life of the sufferer, in cases ivbere such
results would ho extremely difficult a city or
similarly crowded district.
; *
Another peculiar feature of Scheylitill County
consists in the large number of births' which oc
cur. If we compare the results of thy census of
LB5O, we will find that our County presents the
highest percentage, namely 3.50 Per Bent. of the
whole population, and .7.29 of the female popula
tion ; the average consisting of 2.78 raid 5.62 per
cent. Tho 'Cause of this is inv=olved in the general
fact, that 'more children are always born in dis..
tricts inhibited by laboring mon, who are, at the
same time, able to supply themselves and families
with the ordinary comforts of life, without being
Subjected to undue, and too prolonged; bodily fa
tigue, thrill is the case in other districts.

removing' from our midst one of our most beloved
brethren, P.W. Patriarch, JOSEPH P.Cattnom., who
by his real worth, intelligence, and constant ur
banity of manners, had strongly endeared himself
to all of: a. large circle,
with whom, with his situ;
ration and character, he was called to
whereas, in his death the Order of tie Sons of
Temperance has lost one of its brightest orna
ments, an irnwavoriag advocate of its; principles,
and the community a most useful and honorable
inelaber ; land in the melancholy consideration of
this mosilpainful event be it therefore
Reevlve.d, That the officers and members of this
Division wear the usual badge of mourning; and
that our Charter and Emblems be dressed in bliick
for the spice of ns a token of that respect
and esteem ; which wo will 'ever rherish for the
' memory him and his many. virtues.'
Resolocri,!Tbat wo deeply sympathie with the
nillicted•children and relatives of, our esteemed
deeettied
,brother in their sad bereavement, and
that we fraternally extend to them that sympathy,
ronsidstinn and care inculcated in tht principles
of our Order. -
Resolved,: That a copy of these resolutions,
'signed by the Worthy Patriarch, the Secretary
and Committee on resolutions, be sentto the fam-

DEAR :lovnxxx:—On Sunday night last, the
'
ally, it on-1 Ind all thbout here seemed out on 'a regular
se the fli ngs "bust," and "went it" on the "bloir Out" fashion.
, Some of its capers were quite ,fanciful.s One of
Irits greate4t exploits performed hereabents, was to
.carry off the roof from the Lump Coal Schute of
Mr. Brittriih's 'Breaker, and after, sundry whirls
. andturrai,l lauding it in fragments some distance
from whelice it started. One of the' fragments,
ten or twelve feet square, was carried a distance
of forty of fifty yards.
Theinclined Planes below this plai c e, are very
nearly finished, and are now considered in work
ing order. , A.few cars of Coal have been drawn
up the firSt , plaiie during the week.
The rece nt fall of snow, eombined with the high
wind, hasthaused an almost entire suspension of
out-door lithor.
It was rumored here this morning that two per
.;
sons werei frozen to death near this place, last
Sight. The truth, I.bolieve is, however, that one,
when tound, teas quite dead, _but in the other life
was. not y t extinct f It is , saiii to-night, that the
latter died sometime during the,day. The prima
ry.) cause was Rusin. It was on this w ise, as I hear
it I,wo in the (last) , evening, went into some
Porter shop, or plebe where sold, and pur
chased a (ran. They then went outand climbed
into a cart, or mien 'someirtuwe near, and emu
'menced i bibing the , contents of their canteen,.
- One becoining stupefied, fell out upon' l lhe ground
'and there lay until morning, and **Ft found - *as
quite dead. The other got outof thnvehicle, and
going some distariCe, fell to the ground, Lind when
found,was'just alive , • ;
Had there been no rum-shops or ether pheee
where'nthi eould . bo purchased, theme two wirer
turista being's might still hail) beep alive; and
who will ,say if rum'werri,absent,,or - crot ,of reach,
that they (as well as thousands ofothnre who have
mat deritlXiNvarious ways'. through the lame in
strumentality) would not now he useinl members
of eocioi* arid a blessing to surrounding friends?
