day morning we were, by invitition,uehered
into the splendid hall of the Liberty Fire
Company. Wo found it spacious, and fur
aished in' a very 0000 manner. The floor
is carpeted with a handsome carpet, the furs
aitere,consieting of ten spring bottom sofas,
tiro large marble slab stands, a marble-Oro
plug, as the President's" desk, or stand,
a large walnut library case, centre ta
ble, a museum of natural Curiosities, and a
large looking glass in good frame, etc., are
all evidences of superior twit°, in their se
lection and finish. In the centre of the hall
stand; a beautiful hose carriage, plated with
silver, and hung with boquettes, which
sea presented to this company by the Fair
mount }lre Company, of Philadelphia. This
carriage is not in servite,biti will be at some
future day. The hall is lighted by magnifi
cent chandeliers, the walls are tastefully de
corated with oil paintings stool engravings,
and photographs of those living,and of those
rho havedone their duty upon earth, and
ue numbered among the dead. we first no
tice a large picture, which was presented to
the company by the Delaware Steam Fire
Company, No. 4, of' Trenton, New Jersey.
The picture contains the photographs of a
number of firemen, in the centre of which is
the likeness of' the Delaware Steam Fire
Company's house. At the top is mounted
on the frame a miniature hose carriage, and
at the bottom that of an engine, the whole
being enclosed with a heavy walnut frame.
One portrait hanging at the east end of' the
hall was pointed'out to us by our obliging
attendant as his "grandfather." The por
trait was truly a work of art, and to us look
ed like Washington,and although we did not
deny our informant, we could not believe
that inch a good looking man was the grand
father of our spokesman. The whole was a
Art we guess—a hard one on Washington.
Orer this portrait was hung the beautiful
valeta of liberty—the stars and etripes.
We next notice a largo picture with the pho
tographs of 62 firemenovith an engine house
io the centre, and the whole enclosed in a
beautiful walnut frame. We have no space
to mention all the pictures, of which there
must beat least over one hundred and among
which are a ldrge oil painting of Abraham
Lincoln, enclosed by a heavy gilt frame; 4
steel engraving representing the' United
States Senate; an oil painting of the late Da-
Ille; the Village Blacksmith, Mt. Ver
non, uen. McClellan, a ship at sea, Shakos-
Pme, etc.,giving the room the appearance
of en Acaomrof Fine Arts: The museum
minims a number , of curiosities, among
`hid/ are an alligator,brought from Megno-
Florida, two large sword *Awe snakes,
No, birds, s_quirrels, an appessum, etc.
In the centre of the book cue us an apart'
ittort, which contains four silver toithes,five
ilifer horns, one large silver pitcher, and a
number of other articles, The American
re suspended across the room at each

THE MARKETS.
DAILY REVIEW OF BUSINESS.
IN Philadelphia, the money market is gradually
becoming easier, and although the banks have not
the ability to accommodate their customers to any
great extent, yet outside etipitiltsts are more dis
posed to invest in promissory obligations. Tho
demand for discounts is very moderate, and we
quote call loans from 7% to 10 percent. on Govern
ment collaterals, and at o@l2 percent. on mixed
securities, with the remark that very little paper
on the street is taken at loss than - the latter rate.
Our advises from the West state that the market
there is still quite stringent, and business is par-
Gaily suspended in consequence. The movement
of Breadstuffs from the Lake ports towards the
seaboard, has boon materially restricted, owing to
the indisposition or the inability of the commission
houses to make the usual advances.
There was more spirit at the Stock Board
on Saturday. and more firmness for almost every
thing on the list. Government and State loans
were without essential change. City loans sold to
a limited extent at 1025102%.
Reading Railroad advanced 'l% from the lowest
point, eiosing at 40%@)49. Pennsylvania Railroad
sold, at MX, and Lehigh Valley Railroad 55. 128%
was bid for Camden and Amboy Railroad; 66%
for Norristown Railroad; 45 for Little Schuylkill
Railroad; 40,4 for Catawissa Railroad preferred,
and 25 for Philadelphia and Rrlo Railroad.
Canal kooks were firmer; Lehigh Navigation
sold :835► b. o. ; 20 was' bid for Schuylkill Navir a
tion preferred. and 14 for Susquehanna.
Bank and Passenger, Early Abates were held
with 'much confidence, but the transaotions were
small.

GREASE ON CARPETS,- Thero is nothing
that annoys a tidy housekeeper •so • much as
to have her carpet spotted with . , lamp' oil or
grease, and we therefore mall° k 00944 r for
their benefit, the following 'recipe for extract
ing, oil or grease spots .;from carpets or
clothes. Cover the grease spot; with
in whiting,
and let it remain .until it becomes, saturated
with the grease; , then serape it oft', and
cover it with another coat of whiting, and if
this does not remove the grease ! repeat the
application. Three coatKof whiting will, in
most cases, remove the spot, when it should
be brushed off with a clothes brush.
ATTEMPTED MURDER. -011 108 t Saturday
as Mr. J. Claude White, Superintendent of
the Swatara , Colliery, near Llewellyn '
Schuylkill comity, was on his way to the
Colliery, for the purpose of paying off the
hands,ho was waylayed by five ruffians, who
had adesign upon his money. ' Mr. W..had
taken the precaution to take with him three
men, among whom was one ofHeissler's po•
lice, who left the wagon on discovering the
;lice,
and boldly confronted them
with their chosen weapons. They fired upon
him, but he returned the fire in - a , spirited
manner and brought One of their number to
the ground, indafterwards brought the man
(who gave his name as Tinian from New
York,) to the Schuylkill county prison.
Mr. White had $16,000 with him nt the time
of the occurrence.
MILITARY COMPANIES.—Two or three mil•
itary companies are in process of formation
in this city,.and we hope - the matter will be
persevered fit wail they aro thoroughly or
ganized and equipped. Reading should bo
able to raise a full regiment of volunteer
militia, • Years ago the fame of tho.Ringgold
Battery, the Reading Rifles, and other mili
tary organizations in this city extended all
Over the State. We have now the material
for several companies of veterans, besides
may young men who never saw, service, but
who would join such organizations.
IA company of riflemen is . already nearly
Tull, and a "crack" company of infantry is
spoken. of, but on account, of expected
"hard times" the coming winter, the organ
ization 9f the
is companiescompaniesis notas rapid as
Fits expected.
There no reason why these companies,,
and several others, should • riot bo filled at
,once.
,Let our pang men Maio in this
matter, and Reading will soon have a mili
tary organization of which our citizens may
well be proud. ' ' •

monwealth that during lest spring and a por
tion of last summer this road 4 was al
most habitually out of repair, especially
after a rain, When it became soft and almost
impassable. , The defence proved that in dry

shown that it was regularly traveled by

l it was impossible to keep it .in good repair
under such severe usage without tut npiking it.
The Court that it was the business kir
the Supervisors to keep the roads in prover

and expended a tax of ten mills on the dol
