quotations were from 7 to 10 per cent. The hanks
aro powerless to afford any extensive relief, but
they continuo to discount to the extent of their
. means to regular customers at the legal rate. CaPi
lutists are remarkably 'cautiouS, and demand ex
tremely h'eavy margins on iniseellaneaus seeuril
ties. Tho - stock speculators aro the principal bor

Thursday afternoon last between 4 and 5
o'clock, while a car was being roped upon a
siding at the crossing above Schuylkill Ha
ven, a lad named John Stanton, about 13
years of age, got upon it for a ride. He
slipped and fell on the track, a flange of one
of the wheels cutting off the back of his
head and one of his arms, ,killing him in•
stantly. He `was a son of John Stanton,
deceased, and lived on the Flat near Seliuyl•
kill liaven. Jumping on mid off of railroad
calls when they are in motion, - is an exceed.,
ingly dangerous practice, and this occur
rence should prove a warning to persons
never to attempt it wider any eircumstan
cos.—Miners' Journal.
Dot.n ItonnEux.—On Monday- I night bast,
Mr. John Kerns, residing in Bern - township,
left his home at aboUt 12 o'clock to go to
woyk. A. few minutes after he had left,
mo-with a black mask on came to the door,
and as Mrs. Kerns met him, she was seized,
struck over the. head, a nd choked. She was
thus left in the door-way, helpless, and al
most senseless, when the fiend. enter•
ed the house and stole twenty-three dollars.
He threatened to kill her if she made any
noise, and after he got through, pillaging the
house he left. Early in. the morning the
alarm was given,iihen Mrs. Kerns was found
in a critical condition. She is still suffering
from the effects of the blows of the fiend,
but is under the treatment of a skilful phy
sician. No clue to the robber.
Titu rIIILADELPHIA AND hEADING RAIL
ROAD COMP NT's Roi.t.mo MlLL—Daring a
brief visit to Reading on the :30th ult., wits
called at the new rolling mill of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad Company, which
is eligibly situated about two miles north of
Reading city passenger station, at the point
where the bast Pennsylvania Railroad diver
ges east from the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad main trunk! The mill-houSe is 413
feet in length by 54 feet in widthwith a spa-.
cious wing projecting from one side.' There
are twelve puddling furnaces, eight heating
furnaces and two re-heating furnaces. The
rails rolled are of three weights, G 4 pounds,
62 pounds And 66 pounds per yard, for use in
localities according to character of traffie,the
heavy rail in main track, the light rail on
branches where the trains are smallest. The
fails rolled contain about one-third part new
iron. •
The firs rai was ro nes tiltath
ReilAVed' titti
11, 1868, - so the mill has been in use over i
seven months, a period long enough to make
trial. of its utilityi. The present capacity of
the establishment is about 1,000 tons per
month. Tiventy-four teei seems to be the
length of rail preferredoto secure which

21 feet 6k ',Relies long, the contraction -in
cooling being 61. inches. "Tho rail when cut
is passed over horizontal bars to a revolving
elevator, consisting of three wheels with
projections on their surfaces which catch the
rail nt its centre and ends, and by a gentle
steady motion it out of thoway till the
top of the circle described by the elevator is
reached, when the rail descends by gravity,
on the opposite side, to a cooling pile as
close packed as spoons, ono against another.
The wear laid breaknge of rails on the
Philadelphia' and Reading • Railroad and
branches, on which.nre carried ] in a twelve
month, six million tons pf freight and over
onennd a quarter million' of, passengers,
constitute an important item hi operating
expenses.
In 1807 the length of track kept in order
by the Engineer Department . was 532.34
miles ; length of sidings, 238:26 miles ;
tat length of track; 770.60 miles. Cost of
renewing rails in 1807, $25,154.78 number
of rails removed from tracks, 34,475, weigh•

The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company also own in majority part, and
