This is what Reading has long needed, It
can be supported at a very small expense,
and will do a great amount of good. , It will
be a valuable adjunct to that excellent insti
tution,
th.e Reading Library, and the two
together will Om a new impulse to intellec
tual and moral cultnre in our city. Let there
boa full attendance of all .who desire to pro•

RiNTB.—there is universal cam.
plaint made against the exorbitant high rents
now demanded' in this city.. It is owing,
probabty,''36 the, fact . that the supply of
housea is still fir' below '4.1 demand, and,
in coniequence,' landlords,can find nay num
ber of tenants whenever , they have a ,vacant
house. Knd those in search of houses are
driven to Iv any price that may' be asked
of them, front the fact 'that they roust
proiide some place of shelter for themselves
and .families. So that when a house is
offered for rent, a largo number of bidders
are' n the market, and ho is the successful
one who otTers largest price., Let our
capitalists study their interests, and still
dreet more houses—neat and commodious
dwellings, at a moderate tate. At preient,
men of. moderate eireatnatances find it a
difficulty, if not an impossibility, to secure it
dwelling house at a price within the range of
reason or suited to • their pockets. The
course now pursued Will certainly drive me
chanics from' our place, and work
.injury to
our city and its best interests..

{Wei eliding, November 28th.
WOOL—There has been little doing in wool for
the last week, and "dullness" continues to de
scribe the condition of the trade. Purchasers have
boon few, and they wore more Inclined to nook
parcels upon which a COUCCEIOII could be obtained
than to buy at current rates. Holders,however.
,as a general thing, wore firm, feeling continued
confidence in the future of wool and believing as
the condition of the mosicy- market improves a►
corresponding change will take place in trade, and
'with an increased demand for woolen goods a good
business and higher rates may bo fairly expected.
The stock of wool continues light with small re
ceipts, except in California, to which there have
bebn considerable additions by recent arrivals of
Fall Clip.
COTTON—The demand was active and the sales
again foot up large prices showing a further ad
vance, and closing very firm with only small offer

the operations of shippers.
°HAIN—The market for wheat opened strong
under a good demand and a falling off in the re
ceipts, but subsequently, owing to an advance in
freights, the demand abated, and to effect sales
holders were compelled to submit to adeoline, and
the market ehwed heavy yesterday. Tho business
of the week has been confined principally to Spring,
in part speculative, tl4ough fair to export.

After a fair Autumn trade the Horse market has
gone into winter quarters. In other words busi

tram 900 to 81,200 or. 41 style id much of an
object, and to wishes to pass his competitors on
tho road, 81,500 or 82,000 is paid for a span. Such
sales are rare, for with the high prices of feet Land
nn idea of economy during the coming Winter,
most of the would be purchasers will await the
opening of Spring. Partners, who have nearly
completed their out-door labors for the season, aro
more inclined to sell than buy. So very little do

nadian department of Twenty-fourth street, is
empty. A small number of contract or work horses
aro selling, and there is a little demand for the
West India trade, but, take it all in all the trade is
unusually quiet, owners with stables full of horses
remaining absolutely idle. There is a good show
of stook in the street, among which is quite an in
fusion of the Morgan and Black Hawk blond in
horses brought from Vermont. while Pennsylvania
turns out some heavy draft horses.

Accingwr.—On Saturday lost, a little girl aged
10 years, named Mary Wunder, employed in the
hat factory of Messrs. Kula, Arnold & Co., while
sweeping around the machinery, had her apron
caught and was drawn towards tho nmehine.and In
her effort to extricate herselfshe put her hand into
it, when it twisted her' arm nearly quite around
and broke it' in two plades at the wrist, and dislo
eated it. The band was also terribly, bruised. The
little sufferer resides'at I.lll3Yranklin street. This
morning she was doing well, under the skillful
treatment ofDr.Davis,who attended to herinJurier.
SHAIIPENIZin B.t.ws.—A correspondent in.
forms us that, in answer to an advertise
went, he - paid fifty'cents for the accompany
big information: "After filing your saw, lay
it on a level board and pass over tholide of
the teeth with a whetstone until all the wire
edge is oil the teeth, This will make your
saw cut true and smooth, and remain sharp
longer. Your saw must be set true with a
sawset."—Scientijle American.

of the county would prove interesting to
most of the readers of the Roux. We may
consider every district or township a auburn.
of the city of Reading. They are connected
by business relations legally and commer•
many, and I might add socially. There is
perhaps not a (lay. that there are net raj•
dents of the country attending to business in
the city. There is a mutual interest in all
sections. But the thought naturally arises—
what can a farmer or a resident of Amity
write about that would be of any interest to
a resident of Albany or to a citizen ()Inca&
ing? Jt is a common idea with writers to
think that what they have to say will not be
received with any plefsure or profit by others.
It is well that a person entertains rather a
low estimate of his own acquirements and
abilities. It makes him more careful in
what he may :have to communicate, and 'pe
feels a, greater necessity 'for self.impre e•
meat. I However this may bd, I
read . with . eoniliderable
interest the articles that occasionally appear
in your columns from Hamburg, Fleetwood,.
Wern4rsville and other places, and I hope
your correspondents will feel encouiaged to.
continue their communications, for your
promising. paper. I should like to see cor;
respondence from every villageland tewn•

mineral and' manufacturing resourees,
