WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11), 1873. TheCoal Tkade. TheriiiladelpbiaZftjfr states that a redaction of 25 per cent, in working time at the collieries about Scranton took effect on Friday last. In the Schuylkill region it is proposed to shorten the time at the collieries that will be worked during the winter season, so that all the work, such as picking coal, can be done at the breakers, by daylight. The Pottsville Journal learns that the Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron Company will continue their improvements at the different collieries nowprogrcssing.dnrinir the winter season, until prepared for the shipping business.

A strike took place at the shafts in the vicinity of Pottsville, some time ago, and they have concluded not to resume work on them again until April next. ALMS House Okficeks. The Directors the Poor organized on Monday. The Board now consistsof the following gentlemen Henry Amnion of Caernarvon, in place of Daniel Y. Peter of Oley, Michael (ioodiuan of Heading, Samuel Strunk, of Exeter.

The follow ing officers were elected President, Henry Amnion Clerk, AVellington H. Fisher; Steward, Silas W. Fisher; Under Stewavd, Michael Eight myer; Hiysicians, Dr. J. S.

Herbine of Sinking Spring, Dr. S. C. Krmcntrout of Heading. Mr.

Peter retires after four years' service in the Board, and with the good wishes of all his fellow citizens. There never was a more faithful, conscientious or honest oflicial in the Poor House Board, and the pity is that such men as Daniel Y.Peter are not more frequently called to fill public positions. A Spirited Woman. The Wilmington 6'u sette gives this version of what it considers a spirited woman "A few days ago C'oatcs villc woman came to Wilmington to make some purchases, accompanied by her son, a strapping young man. The former purchased dry goods, but the latter purchased whisky, and soon got gloriously drunk.

On her way to the Heading depot the woman came across her sou on West Front street. She collared him, but he resisted, and sent her bundles flyiug in all directions. Nothing daunted, she wont to work and soon gave him a sound thrashing, after which she gathered up her bundles and led her son out to the depot, where she put him aboard the oars 'as meek as any On the way up he became refractory on several occasions, but promptly subsided after the old lady would administer a few sound cuffs." False Alarms. The tap upon (he Fire Alarm Telegraph shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday morning was caused by the breaking of the wire near the Roun 1 Houses of the Refilling Railroad Company, by (lie great aecu mulation of snow and sleet on the wire. At 9J o'clock yesterday morning another tap was given, which resulted from tiie cpliciug of the broken wire by Chief Cullen and Chief Engineer Boyer.

These taps maybe frequent during the winter months, ami the firemen should not respond unless the regular intervals between taps occur upon the Presbyterian hell. Several fire companies were out at the second tap yesterday morning. In this connection it is proper to state that the wires of the Heading Hailroad Company were broken at about one hundred different places on the road between Harrhdmrg and Philadelphia on Monday night, resulting from the same cause. TheBebks County Kaii.road. A corres pondent of the Norristown Herald writes as follows concerning the Berks County Railroad Havingstrayed up the Schuylkill I lind the times quite dull, many furnaces, rolling mills and other places of business having suspended operations and thrown large numbers of persons out of employment.

Though railroad companies have seriously felt the effects of the late money crisis, yet I found the Berks County Railroad being rapidly pushed to completion. This road is a continuation of the Wilmington and Reading R. and will extern! to Slating ton on the Lehigh river, and thus open an oi.t let for the Lehigh coal region. Several miles at each end are completed and cars arc running on the same. The grading will he finished in about two months, at least that is the opinion of Mr.

AVm. Call, who is the contractor on section 22 and has the heaviest work. Nearly all the ties and iron is delivered and it is expected that the whole road will be open by March." Registering Letters. The Postmaster General is about to reduce the charge for registering domestic letters and packages to cents each. The present fee is 1,1 cents, and is said to have been always too high.

Eight cents will be nearer an honest charge. The operation of registration of letters gives a considerable amount of trouble to the post ulliec, and the operation is founded upon the assumption registration, the safety of a letter is rendered nearly perfect. It is notorious that the effect of this system is otherwise. A registered letter is not protected from post oQice thieves any more than one unregistered. The Government will not hold itself responsible for cither.

Furthermore, letters registered are supposed, by mail robbers, to bear a certificate of intrinsic value from that fact and the registration, in tact, is an indication of what letters might be profitably stolen. The purpose of registration has proved a failure and if there is little business doing in that way, the Postmaster (General should not attribute the fact entirely to the high price of registration, or expect ibat there will be an increase of registered letters if the charges are reduced. Experience shows that registering is of little value, and it is doubtful whether reduced prices will increase the business. Thb State Lunatic Hospital Xcmiieb OF INMATES FROM Berks. The annual report of the Trustees and Superintendent of (he State Lunatic Hospital, at Hurrisburg, is before us.

The number of patients admitted during the year was 158; males, S7; females, 71. The number discharged during the same period was 217; males, 119; females, lis; of whom were restored, 31 improved, 112 stationary, and 34 died. The number in the Hospital on September 30th, 1873, was 408; males, 21 females, 192. The whole number under treatment during the year was 02.1 the lowest num. ber, 392, and the average nunilier, The transfer of a large number of patients to the Hospital for the Northern District, at Danville, very much relieved the over crowded condition of the wards, and reduced the number below four hundred.

But in order to prevent the wards from being over crowded naiii, the Trustee bave been compelled to adhere strictly to tb letter of the law, and decline receiving patient who have been insane for a long period. The average weekly expenses of each patient be been 14.97. The receipts from all sources, including balauee in the treasury September SOth, 1872, were and the payments $113,930.59, leaving a balance of The number of patients admit ted from Berks county during the year was 8 fi males, and females, and the number admitted from the beginning was 89 tO males, and 43 females. Odd The semi annual session of the Grand Encampment of Peuusylvauia of Independent Oorder of Odd Fellows was held at the hall, Sixth and Cresson streets, Philadelphia, on Monday, Grand Patriarch James Mc Gahcy presiding. There were about one hundred Past Patriarchs present as representatives from the different encampments, and fifty new delegates were subsequently admitted and took part in the proceedings.

The report of the Grand Patriarch shows that six new Encampments have been instituted within the past six months, and Encampment, No. 30, was re organized. Kd ward Mcintosh was appointed D. D. Grand Patriarch for Bucks county, in place of Howard K.

Saeger, suspended from his Encampment. Nominations for Grand Officers were made, the same to be elected by the Past Grand Patriarchs at the meetings of the various Encamp ments in April next, and to be installed at the session of the Grand Encampment in May. The following gentlemen were nominated Grand Patriarch John Curtis, Philadelphia. Grand High Priest Sullivan S. Child, Har risburg.

Grand Senior Warden Geo. Bertram, Philadelphia. Grand Scribe James B. Nicholson, Philadelphia. Grand Treasurer John Hciss, Philadelphia.

For Grand Junior Warden there were several gentlemen nominated, and the contest for this office promises to be very interesting. The following were the nominations Win. A. Euddick, Norristown; C. Carroll Hums, Philadelphia James P.

Robins, Philadelphia; Wm. H. Bennett, Wilkcsbarrc J. J. Kelehncr, Pittston; J.

W. West, Philadelphia Amos Hooker, Heading; Absalom Taylor, Philadelphia, and Edward Jones, Pittsburgh. As Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of the United States there were also several nominations, as follows: Charles N. Ilickok, Bedford John Eebman, Pittsburgh A. 15.

Grosh. Marietta James A. Scholes, Pittsburgh. Jamos W. Tvndall was elected Trustee to the Odd Fellows' Hall Association.

The Grand Eucampnicut then adjourned to meet at Philadelphia on the 18th of May next. "The Eight Worthy Grand Lodge of the Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellows of Pennsylvania met iu semi annual session yesterday morning, at the hall corner of Sixth and Haines streets, Philadelphia, Most AVorthy Grand Master Jacob M. Campbell, of Johnstown, presidiu: The attendance of Representatives aud Past Grands was unusually large. The Grand Master submitted his semi annual report, showing gratifying prosperity in the order, the number of lodges iu existence hein 773 aud the membership about 93,000. The report containing decisions upon points of law, was referred to a committee of Past Grand Masters; S.

F. Gwinncr, J. C. Yeager, and Feter Fritz. The report of the Deputy Grand Master, Isaac A.

Sheppard, was read and referred to the same committee. Past Grand Master J. Alexander Simpson, Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of the United States, presented the report of the Grand Representatives. The Grand Lodge of the United States now numbers 5043 lodges, with a membership of 383,097, an increase over the previous year of 753 lodges and 57,220 members. The relief disbursed during the past vear amounted to over a million and a half of dollars, over 29 per cent, of which was distributed in our own jurisdiction.

Neither the statistics of membership nor relief include the order ill Australia or the German Empire. The sessions of the Grand Ixnlge were fixed at from to 12 A. M. and from 2 to 5 P. and at noon it adjourned until 2 P.

M. Hall and 1k. Tram. How Shall we Sleep? The Wilmington Commercial in dulges in the following bit of pleasantrv: It is not so easy a matter as might be supposed to learn the laws of health which we are to obey, since the difficulty of deciding when doctois disagree' is a proverbial one. At present the medical world is divided into two factions, one of wlijch requires us to sleep in cold rooms with all the indows well opened, while the other insists that we shall keep our Bleeping rooms warm, even if ventilation has to take care of itself, One physician of some emi nence asserts that foul air, in a temperature of over fifty degrees, is better than fresh air under forty, while another distinguished doctor Insists that we must have fresh air plenty of fresh air no matter what its temperature may be.

Now what is to be done, while this iiuj artant question remains at issue is not easy to decide. Probably there is nothing more common than sleeping unless it be eating and in these days of winter, in this latitude, it is a practical question, when you retire, how the windows arc to be adjusted. They must be either open or shut, iat's certain no compromise cm 1 made between the two situations of the sash. Perhaps, pcnd'Og the decision, by some competent authority, we might incline to the side of the warm rooms not for any deep scientific reason, but just simply because it feels so much more pleasant and if natural sensations are not a good st of what is best for our bodies, where is the use in having feelings at all Judging by the rauio natural test, it might be thought that a circulation of fresh air is not absolutely necessary to healthy sleep; for young children have an obstinate tendency to pull the clothes over their heads at night, as most parent know, and cats ami dogs arc apt cover their noses when sleeping. It is a patent fact that many of the poorer classes have an unconquerable objection to free youti Iatiou, aud the builders of tenement houses iu London found that when they had been at the pains of providing them with patent ventilators, those useful apertures were generally found stuffed with old rags.

However that may be, it is to be hoped our midical guides will soon settle our minds for us, for at present we arc in Captain Cuttle's unsettled state of "standin' off an' on." While we should like to take a heroic position on the side of Dr. Trail, and insist on copious supplies of fresh air, we cannot altogether deny that Doctor Hall gets a warm place iu our regard by proposing to establish a comfortable temperature, these cold nights." Large Sale. The sale of the property of John Xeiman, deceased, took place at Union ville, this county, on Saturday last. The real estate was not sold four lots, of about twelve acres, were bid up to $3,500, aud seventeen acres of woodland was bid up to $34 per acre. A Government bond for $1,000 a five twenty was sold at $1,1 10, to Ozias Neiman onesliarc of Douglassvillo Bridge stock, par value $20, as sold at to Daniel ltyan one share of stock of the Schuylkill Bridge at Pottstown, par value $25, was sold at $(12, to James Gilbert tea or twelve tons of hay were sold at $12.50 to 15 per loll.

A German Bible, with large clasps and buckskin back, priutcd in 1773, just one hundred years ago, was sold to Ozias Neimau for 75 cents. It bail been iu the possession of John Neiman, deceased, for over Gliv vears. If we go back to the early colonial times, fays a veteran observer, we shall lind iu the letters, sermons and other discourses the same earnest strictures upon the extravagance of the times and the decay of household virtues as now greet our ears on every hand.

We again caution housekeepers to look to the fastenings of their front doors. A coal heaver wants to know where the seven hundred million circulation is; helms got only $1.50 of it. If we have a war with Spain the manufacture of real Havana cigars in Berks county will be greatly augmented.

O. (). now in session in Philadelphia. The most unprofitable business in which a man outof employment and nearly out of means can engage, is that of getting drunk, and yet there are many such cases occurring. Messrs.

Henry Slimier, David Y. Gable, John P. Dauth, Peter Groul aud Mahlon K. Grant, of lioyertown, returned homeon Monday evening from a week's hunting excursion to Terry county. The result of their hunt amounted to one fiuo large deer, 7 wild turkeys, 1 pheasants and one squirrel.

Pottsville has a child thief a little girl about 12 years of age that makes it a profession to go around the streets at dark aud whenever she sees a child smaller than herself with a parcel of any kind to snatch it and run. Sometimes she will go upon one street and then atiain she will go upon another, but bast litis far eluded capture. A Practical Way to Help the Poor. We have already referred to the plau suggested by an exchange for obtaining means to keep the poor, viz: for every man, woman aud child to contribute ten cents to that object on Thank: giving day. The idea is certainly a very good one, and meets with popular favor.

If tried in Reading, we are satisfied that quite a handsome sum would be realized. Arrangements looking to that end should be perfected at once. The Philadelphia Press has given the plan its editorial endorsement, and suggests the following, which we hope may receive due consideration by the people of our city First. Let a meeting of citizens be called for as early a day as possible, which will appoint a committee to take charge of and distribute the money that may be subscribed. Second.

Let each of the clergymen, at each of the services on Thanksgiving day, have a special collection taken up for the purpose, and urge, at the close of his sermon, generosity upon his congregation. Third. Let boxes be displayed prominently in every newspaper office, iu the street cars, in the railroad depots, libraries, and whcrevir else people congregate, aud placards in large tvpe be displayed, setting forth the purpose of the boxes. Fourth. Let each one of our theatres and places of amusement put up several boxes and announce iu the advertisements, the day preceding, that the boxes will be in place at their performances Thanksgiving day and night, and print upon their programmes a I'kc announcement.

If such a meeting as we propose can be called, and we fail to see any difficulty in the way, the plan may be varied, or an entirely different one adopted to better suit the case. Our aim is only to secure some organized method for in part relieving the inevitable sufferings of thousands this winter.
