PiNn Gnovn Coal. Swatara and
Good Spring Creek Railroad Company.
Some samples of the coal of Pino Grove
district have, says the Baltimuro Sun, sinco
the completion of tho Tide Water Canal,
been sent from the Panther Heud and Mam
moth veins to this city, and has been pro
nouncod excellent in quality. In the lan
guage of ono good judge at least, "it will
eland No, 1 in nny market;" and as farther
evidence or its excellence, it is stated that
after its quality became known hero, ordnrs
vrero sont hence l-.) the mines, for more than
the temporary railway and inefficient fix
tures could accommodate. To connect this
diltrict with the sea-board and interior mar
kets, a rail-road company has been formed,
which has received a charier from Ihe State
ol Pennsylvania, The road i to be about
i Un miles in length, running from the. heart
rot the coal field to the Union canal,
Tho capital stock is 0100,000 sharos
000 each, and the charter perpetual.-
small road to the trade of IJallimore.is great
er than would at first sight appear. At
present the trade of the Union canal region
is exclusively with Philadelphia, and will
remain so, unless tho Pine Grove region is
opened by tho proposed roadjas soon as it is
completed, an immense amonnt of coal will
pass to tide, via the Tido Water canal.
The return boats will necessarily attiact the
return trado, when an cxtensivo apd rich
country, bordering on the Union canal, will
draw all its supplies of groceries and dry
goods from Baltimore, and the coal field
itself, now almost a wilderness,will become
the busy homo of thousands. The whole
distance from the mines to Havre do Grace,
including 10 miles of railroad, is 123 miles
giving an advantage over tho Shamokin
coal field, of 24 miles, and over the Wyo
ming coal field, of 00 miles; and allowing
one mile of railroad to be equal in cost for
transit, to three miles of canal, it will give
the P inc Groro coal an advantage in dis
tance over the Shamokin of 44 miles.
Prom an examination of the charter, and
ihe information laid before us relative to
the coal mines of the region throusli
which the road ii o pass, we are led to
believe that money might be safely and
profitably invested in it; while its construc
tion must be of considerable advantage to
this city,

Horrid Murder. On Saturday morning
a murder of a most horrid, barbarous and
brutal character was perphtrated upon tho
person of an old farmer, named William
Hope, on the Durham Road, about a mile
from Gray's Ferry Bridge. The deceased
resided on his farm in the neighborhood,
was a bachelor 45 years of age and lived
by himself. He was found in his own farm
yard quite dead, with two large cuts on his
forehead and one large gish on the back
part of his htad. Two heavy axes tnal

of tho deed were discovered under his head

carry tbout his person a considerable sum
of money, which was the object of the ruf

the deceased was also gono. The coroner
was sent for and held an inquest upon the

SWATARA COAL REGION.
Hitherto the city of Baltimore has de
pended on a river navigation fur a supply
of Anthracite Coal, and has necessarily
been short by thousand of tons for even the
home consumption. At the same time
WestBrn Philadelphia has grown up into a
well built and prosperous district upon the
profits of tho Coal trade which the mines on
the Schuylkill near Petisville furnished her.
The whole of that City has derived im
mense advantageous from that trade, in sup
plying New York and the Eastern States,
apart from the benefit of having a constant
stock of cheap, safe, and convenient fuol for
her own population. Philadelphia is not
thus adverted to in any spirit of envy or ri
valry, but merely to show the importance
v! this trade. England might havo been
referred to with perhaps greater force. The
coal and iron of that kingdom are known to
be the basis of hei manufacturing and com
mercial greatness, the great source indeed
of her stupendous power. What is (he re
lation which Baltimore holds to this trade
from this time? First the Union Canal
Company is engaged in widening their nav
igation from a superior coal region on tho
Swatara at Pinegrovo to tho Pennsylvania
Canal at Middlotown, which connects with
the Canal Havre du Grace. In connection
with this, rail road companies havo lately
been organized from the Union Canal to
the mines. These works will bu comple
ted the next season. Baltimore may then
look for coal from Wilksbwe, Shamokin,
Lykins Valley and Pinearove. Philadel
phia will be confined to tUe Lehigh and a
part ot tho bchuylltill. Uultimore Amen

IMPROVED CHIMNEYS ECONO
MY OF FUEL.
By a very simple and cheap improve'
mer.t in chimneys, the largest dwelling hous
es may be mads comfortably wiirm in tho
most inclement weather by a single fire of
Schuylkill coil, and one-half of the trouble
of keeping rooms and furniture in order a
voided. An ingenious friend of ours two
years ago caused to ba erected a fine three
story house; in tho front part of tho base
ment he had a grate of the ordinary size and
style for rooms of similar dimensions,
through which three cast iron tubes of two
inches diameter passed from an under eel
ler, one to ills second, and '.he other to tho
third story, each ending in a handsome
month projecting a little way from tho chim
ney into the room for which heat was requir
ed. The currents of boated air thus pro
duced were found to answer all the purpos
es of separate fires, and tho troublo of dust
ing furniture two or three times a day, and
the cost of purchasing it anew before it had
seen half its appropriate service, were no
longer to be incurred. When it is desira
ble to moderate tho heat in any of the up
per rooms, a cap is placed on the lower end
of the tube, and the ingress of air preven
ted. Every housekeepsi whose furniture has
been spoiled and every person whose health
has been impaired by coal fires, will appre
ciate tho advantages of this kind of chim
neys, which, if known, would be general
introduced. New Yorker.
