A HINr-We are not sure but the following hint is
useful -
Mr.. EprroR,-I am constant reader of your wit
ty little Herald, and always take it up III the morning
with a certainty of finding amusement-but am con-
strained say that attery the subject OF the Tailor
esses IN which your noble Efforts have been SO sue
ccssfu, has occupied SO much OF your valuable paper
as sea rcey to leave for the usual variety which
has made it so interesting. Too much OF good
thing, you know, will spoil the best feast; and as you
have now amply succeeded in directing public atten-
ton TO their sufferings, l think IN such good hands,
you may safely leave their cause for the present. and
by devoting the skilful efforts of your mind and pen
to scourgng the existing abuses oflandiords foresta
ers and of this great city, and particularly the
fashionable boarding schools, do good to society, and
CRAFTY NUMEROUS PATRONS
CHEAP CoAL-Schuylkill Coal only fourteen dol
lars per ton, Lackawana twelve dollars and fifty cents
and other fuel in proportion.
Mr.. Bensett-If you gentlemen editors have not
hearts Of granite you will assuredly raise your voices
against the oppressive oresalers of fuel in tks cold
city 1t is fact, Mr.. Bennett that you and and al
Of as are paying this winter about one hundred per
cent profit 10 the coal dealers at season OF the year
too when the poorer citizens are nearly destitute Of
employment. Could not some of our Missionary So
ceiies send preacher among coal dealers, to
vert them from Mammsnism TO Christianity Z
But should this project fail, there is another plan
proposed, which, with the sanction of the State Le
gisature will prove adequate remedy for the ex-
istng evil. The New York and Brooklyn Coal Com
pany have now become organised, and have sent a
deputation TO Albany to solicit charter for that
sociaton. They are willing to be bound by their act
of incorporation, to sell their fuel at an advance not
exceeding ten per cent per annum on their invest
ments, which will insure an extensive supply of coal
in this city at an advance Of little more than fifty cents
on the ton.
May our Legislators listen kindly to the prayer Of
the petitioners. CALoMETRIUs

keeps a store in Ann street, came into "our shop"
