TIIR INDIAN SUMMER.—This beautiful, al
most fairy season, is nigh at band. It some
times occurs in ctober, though we believe
ft is not regarded as genuine and orthodox if
it appears before November. For ourselves,
we are glad to see it at any time. Why call
ed Indian Summer? you ask. The only rea
son we ever heard of, was, that during this
period the Indians are accustomed to gather
their stores of corn and rico and nuts for the
winter. •
SUDDEN DEATH.-Margaret Betio, wife
of Bartholomew Barto, residing at the cor•

dead on Friday morning. Mr. Barto has
been confined to his room by sickness for
two or three months, and the care of every
thing devolved on his wife. She was in her
usual health on Friday morning, and went
down into the Cellar to split some kindling
for the stove. While in the net of splitting
the wood, she dropped down insensible and
soon after died.
Tug "Gavin PMIAD}:" of the Radicals on

disappointed even the Democrats, who

body, they being unable to have one, on tiT

gathering at the head waters of• Salt River.
The Invincibles, looked well and marched
well, and a few houses were prettily illiimin•
ated, but the few straggling P. L. I.'s, and
the two would-be grotesque mule teams, and
blacked boys, hid a woe•hogoite appearance.
The parade was not to be compared to the
really fine demonstration of the Radicals in
Qetober last. Perhaps the Radicals in
Reading, like their brethern elsewhere, feel
that they have nothing to crow over, as there
was very little enthusiasm. They feel that
the black elephant will soon "eat his own
bead oft"
THE BERG CONCERT.—Tho next of the se•
ries of concerts will take place on the 17th of
November, and it promises to excel in every
respect the first. Those of our citizens who
love music should not fail to procure their
reserved seats at an early date, at the piano
store of B. A. Berg.
Madam Johaensen, a first:class singer,and
Rudolph Hennig. of Philadelphia, the noted
violincellist, will be, present to render the
audience the finest vocal and instrumental
music extant., , These concerts are certainly
worthy of patronage, and of great success.
We request our citizens to attend this con
cert, and witness the beauty of musical cul
ture and exectition. We expect this coming
concert to be well attended ? and well patron
ized, so that excellent singers from abroad
can say that Reading has au appreciation for.
music. Our townsman, B. A. Berg,deserves
credit,, in giving these concerte,and all should
re;watd his labors and energy by giving their
individual support to this musical entertain
ment that will shortly occur. All hands to

capital on this street was largely in eXCEI3 of the
supply, and urgent borrowers were compelled to
PO unprecedented high rates of discount on un
doubted securities. The report widely circulated
on Friday afternoon that the Government was
bout to come to the relief of the merchants and
pan Ica by the issue of thirty million of dollars in
kreenbacks, created quite a commotion at the
Stook Board. and naturally put up prices; at a late
hour. In the however, it was ascertained that
there Vas no truth in the statement, and the mar
ket closed alusSish and irregular.
The contraction of four Millions per month,
which has had such a depressing influence on trade
generally., Ls left to the option of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and the probabilities are that be has
the privilege of again putting them out. There is
abort provision in the law for the issue of fifty mil

certificates. Whether he will avail himself of these
provisoes is a matter of considerable doubt. Tho
banks continuo to discount for their regular cus
tomers at the legal rate. and on the street we hear
as high as 4312 per cent. being paid on Govern
ment collatorals.
There was quite a reaction at the Stock Board

In New York, Government Tecurities opened
weak, the five-twenties of 1807 selling down to 107 ;
but on Friday afternoon a brisk bull movement
was made which carried them up .to 109 N, from
which point there was a rapid decline late in the
afternoon to 10734, and this, alike with the general
market, is demoralised. The fact that the Treasury
sold more than seven millions of five-twenty bonds
secretly during the month of October has naturally
exerted a depressing effect uponprices, and to the'
pressure
. from this source, as well as to the sales
Made on Government account on Wednesday by
auction, much of the present decline in the United
States stocks Ls due. Moreover, it is bolived that
the Treasury proposes selling ten millions more of
these bonds immediately. and it has been selling
them almost daily since the beginning of the pros
ent month in order to relieve its urgent necessities.
In this way five , twenties are depressed and cur
rency is taken from the banks, thus adding to the
prevailing stringency, ono great cause of which has
been -the presentation and redemption of fifteen
millions of three percent. certificates since the let
of October, and as these were previously held by
the banks as a part of their legal tender reserve,
their redemption is equivalent to so much contrac
tion of the currency. On Wednesday and Prldey
more than a million of these were redeemed; but
their presentation will probably cease, now that
the Assistant Treasurer is prepared to stamp twen
ty millions of them payable in greenbacks, for
Clearing House purposes, and some of these are
likely to bo used in making the clearings. The
Treasury is, doubtless,, in . a very needy condition,
and is therefore forced to sell gold and bonds in
order to redeem its floating obligations when pres
eented; but the system of secret sales is to be con
demned, and Congress should require publicity to
be given to all such. The banks report that they
ate remitting very largely to the South and South
*lest, anti that their Western correspondents are
also beginning to draw upon them again t and It is
needless to say that there is no Immediate prospect
of relief from the existing stringency, except by a
decline in prices. For several months past we have,
been warning the nubile against such a crisis as we
are beginning to experience, and the end is
not yet. Brokers aro refusing to buy !Wicks for
shelecnstomers on margins because of the difficulty
and cost of carrying them, and Wall street was
never in moradanger of a violent crash like that
of 1857 th an it is now ; but it Is to be hoped that the
threats ed disaster will bo averted, although sorer
as the speculative railway stocks aretencerned
general breakdown in them would exert a salutary
effect, and few besides stock jobbeti would be the
losers. These stocks, however, will have to decline
under any circumstances, and those who continue
to hold them will reae a plentifal crop of losses.

WHEN LIDCHTY SHOULD OH RESTRAIN
ED.—Liberty ista good thing, but you heard
ly wish it may be restrained when you Sec a
big plantation of. a foot coming down on
your corns; or when you see an ugly face
making for your own on which to implant a
kiss ; or a broad shouldered, capacious fel
low approaching who is sure to crowd you
into the mud of the gutter; or your wife
when you are having the pleasantest of chats
with your prettiest of cousins •;' or a caller
just as you aro starting for the theatre,
concert or lecture ; or a collector just as you
have disbursed the last bit of currency; on
your neighbor Slow just as you are to start
for the train which leaves in ten minutes.
SCOTT Wouxs.—The twin stacks that are
going up at the Scott Worksprogress very
slowly. They are about fifty feet high now,
add there are twenty feet more to be added
to them, which will make tlumisseventy feet.
For the information of thbsd who do not
understand how those immense stacks are
built we would 'say, that there is first a cir
cle of heavy-sheet iron, about six feet in di
ameter, which forms the outsidoof thesis*.
This iron circle is in sections, the thickness
of sheet iron,_ three feet vride, 'and one of
them is placed op, the stack and lined on the
inside with brick, which are of a wedge
shape, six inches long and six inches wide
at the outside, tapering towards the center
so as to forma circlo. When the brick work
in the inside of the stack is up to the top of
one of these iron circles, another is riveted
on and the brick work commenced again.
In this manner the large stacks are built of
iron outside and firebrick inside. One of
them will cost as much as it would take to
build a small house.

the last earthly remains of some near and
dear friend—perhaps to strew autumn flow
ers upon the grave ex a father ? mother, sister
or brother—and, perchance, a mother's
hand parts the antutnn leaves and plants
fresh flowers upon the grate of her darling
little one who had passed away from earth
to heaven before its ruby lips had ever lisp
ed a mother's name. We i beheld these
things on that sunny Sabbath 'day, and our
heart was warmed into Odic pulsations as
we saw the mother's tear-4rop trickle down
over the pallid cheek upon the fresh made
mound of but a few weeke ago. It is a sad,
sad sight to see a mother clasp her dying
child to her bosom as its spirit is about. to
'wing away to the house of the angels on liigli,
but to see her lingering around the grave
which has claimed ita' victim. is sadder still.

Judge Woodward, in hie general charge to
the Grand Jury, remarked that a very/ergo
number of bills of indiettnent would be pre

while tke, cases were not of an unusual char
acter, a special necessity existed, in view of
their number, for the prompt, close and la
borious nttention of the members of the
Grand Jury.
After delivering thecordinary legal instrue
ions. iikregard to the finding of bills, the
Court stilt d that an indictment would be
laid before the grand jury against Arnold
lifellert,
_Manus Mellen nud Thomas P.

r.
charge being, that in consequence of the al-,
loged negligence of the defendants an iron
casting standing 'on the public' highway
in front of their • . foundry had
fallen upon a, little child - two years old,
and killed him. NO MONO was charged
against the defendant 4 for which reason the
indictment was for ifitoluntary manslaught
er,_the lightest grad tfit homicide.
The case was on.:.: — eVi importance, as af.
feeling the duties of the business portion of
the community as well as the rights of the
citizen. It passing upon this care the
Grand Jury, were simply to inquire into the ,
question °Negligence. A reasonable case
and precaution had been used, no true bill
should be returned, butif the accident was
the result' of carelessness on the part
of the defendants, a true bill
should be found, on the principle of law
which requires even a lawful business to be
carried on with duo and reasonable care,and
a;proper regard for the personal safety of
the public. The court adjourned till 2p. in.
