Tug coal business of our city still continues
brisk, though people do, not buy mere than they
really need for a short time. It Is generally be
lieved that the highest point in prices bats ,been
reached, and hence, people buy sparingly. We
hope it will not be long before wo can report a, de
cline, as the cold winter is upon us, and as wages
are low, there must naturally bo much suffering
among the poor. In New York things have al
ready taken a turn in favor of consumers, and no
doubt there would be much of a reduction if the
coal were not in. tho "clutches" of speoutatore,
who a few weeks ago, bought up all the coal they
could reach ; and at the same time entered into
co-partnership with the operators In a scheme to
hold or raise prices; and now in order to hold
their heads above failure, they hold on to present
prices with a determination, like , rats to ,the sink;
ing ship. Speculation, as We have before stated,
is at the bottom of the extortionate prices,, we
must now ;my for everything we eat and wear. and
we do hope a move will soon be made, on the part
of the working classes, to have a law passed to
prevent it.
The Coal )r ado from Schuylkill county last
week reached 131,008062 tons, of which 95,c01i
tons were shipped by railroad, and 35,483 10 ton&
by , Canal. The demand is slacking off a little at
New York,and egg and stove coal have declined in
price while the rates of transportation' have a&
vanced considerably.

Esq., of Reading.—/gbonon Advertiser.
Unatimenit. —Last evening, on Penn
street, a man bolding nn umbrella before
him ran it into- the face of.a lady,and instead
of apologizing for the neeident, ho insulted
her. We d not mention the name of the
man, but it may appear in our police rosport
tozmorrow, as steps have bben taken to have
him arrested.
Loom. News.—Loeal news were very
scarce yesterday., •, The weathetis becoming
cold,..the city alarmingly healthy—so say the
- fraternity of pill:makers—and the' people
very orderly and well conducted. Thc
gamut of offences committed, against the
reviOd statutes , is particularly small, for all
of whibh let us bo grateful to the police and
the oew testament . -T-State•Querd:
I We 'itimpathloo with' oar' Heetemporary.
Same state of affairs exists here, and applies
to us. •
ON A "OR MAN BRNDER."—Last evening,
amid the storm, we noticedon the depot ) a
min who had a violent attack of the Glreciitri
bond. It was not produced in the ordinary
way, however. as the man had evidently
been indulging in the '.'cratue! too, freely.
aiade a bold titteinptio "maintain a sper;
pendicular position, but his load bore him .
heavily, and down ho went, "with no 'ono
to love, nono to caress!' Some kind Manil a
however, took pity on hirn, And sot him oil
his "pinfi t 'l .when he managed to m'svigate
out of sight.
ANOTHER CURIOSITy.•:-130ing Along p c lui
. etreet, nrie will notice in the show window oc
Clewell, 430er Penn street, a curiosity in the
shape of the Berke County Court Housei
built of waling candy. . It hi feet high, mut
3 feet wide, and is a true resemblance of that
building. It is really a curiosity worth sew
ing. It was made in the .esfablishment,:end
reflects' much credit upon Mr. Clewell, whc4
produced it. In connection • with this we
might state that at this . establishment can bn
found ii `splendid
. assortment 'of . candiesi
which are disposed of at prices as low as
any other establishment, u Penn street.
COMPLAINT.—Very often people coma to
PA and complain that certain pace Offieers
do not do their duty, and that at &any plaCes
the city authorities should , make repairs or
impovements. ; If we hod the honov off'
being • rather of the - City, complaints
would come to the right person, but as it is,
they should go to the ?davit-of the city. We
guarantee His Honor will hear them, and see
that 'batters are set right wherever needed!
Of course, if it comes under our observa4
Lion, or if , we are convinced that o ffi cers,
the Mayor, or any. other. man, neglects his
`cluty, tee shalt be after him with a shall);
stick, but we cannot be .responsible for the,
petty complaints that are.daily made to us.
SELF•INFLICTED MISFORTUNES.—Every day
we live wo are more than ever convinced
that nine-tepths of the misfortunes which'
attends huManity are seltinilicted. We see'
this daily exemplified. People jump off,
railroad cars while in motion; go bathing in'
deep water, when they cannot aWinn ; imbibe;
spirituous liquoM, arid meet with accidents ;;
expose th6mselves, regardless of prudence,
and suffer ell Manner pf moat evil ,conse
quences, which a little fore-thiiiight would,
in most cases, have averted. People very
well know that a violation of: the common
law involves a penalty, and yet 'utterly ig
npre the fact that nature 1$ still More tnex,
orable than the I.e4islatnre, and Visits with
correponding punishments every trans

'A BEAUTIF.EL PRESENT. —Aldermen 'are
