Deatii op Old Citizen. Henry EJ Rhein, a well knfwii citizen of Reading, died at his residence, No. 224, West IVnn Street, in Wednesday etening last, in the 74ili year of his age. Tbe di ceased was born iu Reading, in 1799. He leirned the trade of cabinet making with his father, Henry, who was one of the first cabinet makers in the old bor i oush.

At an early age he removed to Alsace township, and afterwards to Oley, and returned to Reading about 42 years ago, and has carried on the business in connection with his son up to the time of his death. The deceased was poFsesied of rare business qualifications, and was noted for his industry and probity. He was a good cit'zen, a iile long member of the Reformed Church, in politics an old line Whig, and a great admirer of Horace Greeley. His funeral will take place on Monday, April 14th, at 10 A. M.

Moras Manning's Minstrels. If tbe irite tdage of laugh and grow fat" be true, then the large audience which assembled at the Misliler Academy of Music last night ought by this morning to have grown to be veritable Daniel Lamberts in size. From the beginning to the end of tbe evening's entertainment the risibilities of the audience were excited to the highest pitch. The performance was a really good one throughout. Frank Moran and Billy Manning, the end men, are almost inimitable in their respective roles, whilst tbe singing by Messrs.

Shattuck, VValz and Woolsey was superior lo that of any minstrel troupe which has been in Reading during the past season. Eugene as a female is immense, and tbe oiher parts of the performance were receiver! witb great favor. The concluding scene; "Three Honrs ill a Rat Trap," by Moran and Manning, was the unnist llmg yet put upon the boards of the Academy; The orchestra music was splendidly rendered, and take it all in all it was an entertainment fully worth the liberal patronage extended to it. To night the Iroiipe will appear again in an entire change of programme, and it is needless to predict that the Academy will be crowded. Good Friday and Easter.

Yesterday was observed sis a legal holiday by the Banks in our city, and as a religious holiday by lhe Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Reformed, and other Churchis. The stores were open, manufactories in opeiation and general business continued as usual. Solemn services were held in the Churches of the denomination! named at 10 A. which were attended by large congregations, and in the evening confirmation servics were held in the Lutheran and Reformed Churches, and many new members added by confirmation and certificate. The number added lo the Trinity Lutheran Church was 97 to the St.

Paul's Memorial Reformed Church, 40 to St. Jauiee' Lutheran, 17 St. Matthew's Lutheran, 11 St Luke's Lutheran, 19; Second Reformed Chinch ni ward of 40. Services preparatory lo ihe celebration of the Lord's Supper will be held in these churches at 71 o'clock this There will also be coofirmalluu in Si. John's Lutheran Church this evening.

Easter Sunday, (April J.ltli,) is the great festival day of lhe Christian Church the anniversary of the Messiah's resurrection. It is held as a high day and holiday by all Cbiistian Churchis, and ii regarded as next to Chrislmss in importance. Right Rev.

A very pretty tusti in is tbat which prevails in Northern Eur pe. Every farmer thinks it is his bounden duly lo erect on his premises wooden posts, ou the tops of which are suspended heavy sheaves of oat ears These are a thanksgiving to the birds, which, during Ihe summer and autumn protect bis crops from insects and in spring charm him with their tongs. I 1 I I I Fmr.T.'s T.TMESTrwR OlTlHIIV.Wiirlrmi. have been engaged for some weeks in uncovering: fresh layers of atone in the extensive quarry of F. K.

Frill, on the west tide of the Schuylkill, near the Harrisburg bridge. Tbe depth from the summit to the bottom of the quarry is 104 feet, and Mr. frill is stead ily ndvaocing northward with the intention of cutting tbe limestone bluli, commonly known as "Leinbach's Hill." This is being done for the purpose of establishing an avenue northward along the west side of the Schuyl kill, and so soon as the road has been cut through it is Mr. nil's intention to cut his fine farm into villa sites, having fronts on tbe avenue, and sufficiently elevated (o over look tbe entile city. This is a project which must commend ltselt to persons who are looK ing around for locations upon which to erect handsome residences.

It may be several years before tbe avenue is opened, but when com pleted the sites along it will prove very desirable, and the erection of several fine dwellings on the west bank of the river would result in the speedy and much needed change ot open bridges. The stone in Mr. Frill's quarry are now being quarried in as large sizes as possible, the I a rue stone being supplied to the County Railroad for the abutments cf bridges. The stone for ibis purpose are at present be ing hauled to (he foot of Sixth street for the bridire across the Schuylkill. Home of the stone which have been delivered have weighed as much as seven tons.

The smaller stone are broken up into convenient sizes for building stone, which are delivered in the city at from $1.00 to $2 00 per perch, the price varvmg with tbe distance to be hauled. The quiie small fragments are broken up into spawls by Blake Co s.steam stone breaker and supplied lo the city for the macadamizing ot streets, at so cents per ton. The depth ol each ledge in the quarry is about nine feet, and the ledge is perforated with holes lo this depth by means of Burley's patent steam drill. The holes are closed with wooden plugs to prevent filling np by dirt and debris from the quarry, until it is desired to charge them with powder and effect a blast. The drill and breaker machines are operated by an engine of twenty horse power, the steam being sup plied to the drill by rubber hose.

Considi able quarrying is done without blasting, th stone at placea occurring in loose layers enabling toe workmen to cut it out in large square blocks, and detach it irom the main mass, I rom twelve to ufieen men are em ployed in the quarry, and three teams of heavy horses are constantly engagpd in de livering the stoue. 'reparations are now being made to break sioue for city purposes which will he furnished as fast as ordered Excelsior Chamber. No. 10.

to Grand t'baiulr lr 11 M'hoener. Letter iroua Potleiowu. For the Times and Di patch. Pottstown, April 11, 1S73 According to announcement, the Yeecelius Sisters appeared in Market Hall last evening and delighted an audience that ought to have been larger, with some of the choicest music that ha been heard in this place for a long time. The selections were from among Ihe standard authors, all ot which were rendered in a highly salislactory manner.

Of the trio, the soprano, Louife, seemed to be tbe favorite, her persoasiye and winning manner no doubt contributing very considerably to this favor itism, though in fact her well cultivated voice, and her style ot using it, merits the general favor in which she was held, lhe genuine harmony and perfect sweetness of the trio in the rendition of "Nearer, my God, to Thee," and "Madre del Sonimo Ainore" is surely difficult to excel, and we think the audience generally will agree that it was the best music of the kind ever heard in Market Hall. We wish the young ladies Bucces arid, should they ever return to Pottstown, our word for it, a larger house will gre them than did on this occasion. There is a law to the effect that when the banks pay the Stale tax assessed lo them strictly in advance, then they are exonerated from paying any local taxes whatever. Tbe banks in Montgomery counly, if we are cor rectly informed, failed to do this, couse. quently they were subject to all the local taxes, the paying of which, however, some of them firmly relueed lo do until compelled to.

A number of the stockholders of the Polls town National Bank paid their tax on bank stock under protest, and the matter was taken to court' where it was decided against them. They then appealed to the Supreme Court which affirmed tbe decree of the lower court. This was for State and county tux, and then comes the Pottstown School Board with an aggregate amount of tax of about $1,000 as sessed against the bank stock beld by residents of tbe borough, which they firmly refuse to pay. State Superintendent of Public Schools, Prof. Wickersham, authorizes or instructs them to proceed and collect it, yet they halt and hesitate and it is reported intend to let it go by the board.

Should this be the case and the $1,000 lost to the borough, it would have to be made up by the property owners and tax payers who have already paid their lawful tax. And the whole of it is that tbe members of the School Board of the borough of Pottstown are either afraid of the monejel men.or are influenced by outside considerations. A dangerous exploit was performed a few days ago by a son of Thomas G. Rutter, a short distance above Pottstown. The little boy, only 12 years of age, harnessed a three year old colt up with another horse, and was driving them about in the orchard for a little recreation, when Mr.

Charles Rhoads, who was passing by, saw the boy's action and the danger in which he was and at once relumed the horses to the stable. The colt had never been harnessed before, and it is the greatest wonder that he permitted this little boy to thus iniiiate bim in tbe mysteries of leather. Mr. R. has no objection to the colt being broken, but be would prefer an older and more competent pe sou than his twelve year old son to lake the primary steps in said breaking.

Messrs. Jonas Smith, Epbraim Frilz and Dr. W. A. Van Buekirk, have been elected Trustees and Mesrs.

A. G. Saylor and Win. Kepner, Elders, of the Lutheran Church of the Transfiguration. These officers will be installed on the 20th inst, Mr.

Emanuel Levengood, of piscatorial fame, a few days ago with a hook and line caught a black bass measuring seven inches in length a short distance below Laurel Hill Locks, in the Schuylkill. Yesterday, Mr. Jonas Smith, one of Pottstown's veteran fishermen, proceeded to his favorite locality, near Valley Forge, intent on returning with a big haul. But he informs us that on account of the late high water, it was impossible for him to get near enough, so that he returned unloaded, but not dishearleued. Religious services are being beld in nearly all of tbe churches to day.

The Pottstown National Bank kept open, while J. H. Cas selberry Co's Banking Institution closed, regarding the day as a legal holiday. Bishop Steveos, of Philadelphia, will visit Christ Cuurch, this borough, on the evening of the 17th iost and will administer the rite of confirmation. A rumor has gained some currency here that among the possibilities of the future may be the malting of a trip to Reading and return by the Potlstown Accommodation train every morning before they proceed on to Philadelphia.

The kind of iron, at first made there, was blacksmith bars, and "anconies," which are a species of half wrought iron, in tbe shape of a bar in the middle, but rude and unwrought at the ends.
