A llomm ATTACKED BY Dous.—Yesterday
afternoon a number of dogs attacked a horse
in a field near the new rolling mill, and had
not the dogs been' driven away, no doubt,
they would have killed the animal. The
horse was almost run to death, not having
enough strength left to lift his head, which
was hanging to, the ground, and the blood
flowing quite freely out of his nostrils. The
dogs had also bitten his legs and other parts
of his body. It was with much difficulty
that the ferocious curs were driven away,
as it was also dangerous for a man to get
near them, but clubs and'atones were brought
into requisition, which checked their thirst
for blood. It is n pity that powder was not
used instead.
MR READING RELIEF Soctim.—The
annual meeting of this Society will be held
at the Odd Felldw's Hall, on Monday eve

port of the operations of the Society for the
past yaar will be rend by the Secretary, and
an address will be delivered by John S. Rich
ards, Esq. Several other gentlemen will also
address the Society, and a Board bf Mana
gers for the ensuing sear will be elected.
The public are invited to attend, and it is
hoped all will take a lively interest in this
laudable object. This Society for the past
year has done much towards alleviating the
coffering of the poor of our city, and as
another cold and dreary winter is upon us,
nod an especial levy will be made upon the
Society, our citizens should come forward
and give it all the encouragement possible.

inetituting a "1 oung Men's Free Reading

no business was transacted. Another meet.

evening, November 30th. +We hope this
project will bo pushed forward, and that the
young me n 'receive the ecsoperation of
our citizens this laudable object. Such
an Institution would undoubtedly bo very
beneficial to the young men of our city, and
especially to those who now seek pastime
on the street corners, and in antenna.. This
project has been startedonce before, but for
the want of cooperation on the part of our
citizens and our clergy, it failed. • Reading

"While tho stock-lobbing fraternity in New

sudden fluctuations in the prices of stooks, which
their operations have occasioned, it will be of ad-
vantage to consider a few of the consequences of
the late movement which have, to a very groat
extent, been relieved by the skill of the Secretary
of the Treasury, The combination was not solely
for the purposo of depressing pertain stocks. It is
true that stooks suffered very considerably, and
sonto of them, of the fancy kind, were very much
reduced in.value. But the principal effort was not
against these—the real point of the attack was the
national securities, which having an ascertained
value, and being free from the contingencies which
affect fancy stocks, would much sooner and wore
rapidly recover when the screw was loosened. By
the manipulations of the parties concerned, gov
ernment loans were depressed also, It was the
duty of Mr. feettllcich to eounturact this injurious
attack upon the national credit us much as possi
ble."
In Now York, money continues abundant at 5(

PLATINUNi COATING VOR MI:TAUT(' Sea
FACES.—A process for coating brass and cop
per with a bright surhice of platinum has
recently been published in the foreign pa
pers. A nearly neutral solution of chloride
of platinum is made by carefully adding
carbonate of, soda to the acid solution so long
as there is effervescence. To this solution
is added a little glucose and some chloride
of sodium, without which latter substance
the platinum would he deposited black. The
articles to be coated have only to be immer
sed in this mixture ; but, when it is wished to
coat a number of small objects, such as pins,
it is recommended to place them in a sort
of zinc sieve and immerse t)►e whole in the
solution, heated to about 160 degrees Fahren
heit. The coating of platinum is deposited
almost immediately, and tko articles have
then only to be Well washed
,And dried in

TARE) CARR OF YOUR, I.IOOTS AND SHOES.-
Boots and shoes are expensive items 'lowa
days, therefore a word or two of advice in
regard to their preservation will not be
amiss. In the first place,l l do not expose
your shoes or hoots to; extreme heat.
!It destroys 'the vitality of the
leather, and renders it liable to crack and
break. This is especially thii case with those.
made of patent leather. 'Wearing gum over
,
shoes is decidedly detrimental to leather.
The heat and .dampness ceased by. them de
stroy the life of the leather shoes over which
they arc worn. Never use blacking or pol
ish that contains varnish. Many persons
ruin their shoes by using cheap blacking, of
which vitriol forms as'prineipal ingredient.
Vitriol blacking destroys the oil in the leather
if used for any length of time. To obviate
this difficulty, shoes that are regularly pol-*
ished should

WEATHER PROPHET3,-At this time of the
year there are any amount of weather
prophets, and they are alWays sure to see
bad signs for the future. We have lately
heard of these persons predicting an extreme
ly severe winter before us. How they can
tell we are unable to _say., Some will state
that a sure sign is when the birds disappear
so early in the season ; others that. the
leaves have fallen before the time in previous
years, and theories of a like character are
given to prove the prediction. They May be
correct ' • and we may have commenced a
season that will be terrible, But, be that as
it may, we have no .faith in these weather
wise prophets. As far aS our recollection
carries its brick; the same: stories have been
told and nearly the same proofs advanced as
are now given. The only harm, however,
that these predict* can do, is to create an
anxiety among those who are illy, prepared
for the saows and blasts or winter, and thus
cause theta unnecessary trouble. The best
plan for all is . to lay in as geed a supply • as
possible of fuel, clothing, 1,;c,, 41 1 4 we nee d
have no fear but that we will come out Al
'right in the spring, be, the season over so
severe,
