PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81, 1872
In general news there is nothing stirring. the
chief matter Of interest being the meeting this
evening at the Washington House between the au-
thor of series of articles appearing in the Evening
Journal under the title of 'Valey Forge" and
William b. Reed, Esq. The charge made by
Valley Forge is that Mr. Reeds grandfather, Gen
Reed, was traitor and a rascal-little, if any,
better than Arnold-and he sustains his assertion by
letters from General Samuel Smith, deceased, of
Baltimore The Reeds assert these letters for
geries, upon which Valley Forge tenders them for
inspection This is to be done this evening, and as
twill settle pretty important historical question; as
well as pretty eiiectualy settle Mr. H.. B.. Reed, a
great deal of interest felt the result OF the inter-
view.
The duel here causes but little general excite
ment. The fee ling is that principals and seconds
ought TO be. spanked and sent TO bed. PUBLIC
opinion here Is very opposite TO Col Webo charge
TO the Recorder of your Court.
Real estate is coming down considerably, and
must continue to do while the Sherif's sales are
as heavy as they are. There Is large one to-
morrow night at our Exchange which will probably
rule prices tor few days. Good mortgages are IN

drawn in their own favor and no endorsers done at

of our very best houses that could get their own

From what hear among brokers, suspect some
English funds have been sent out to shave upon
but first class paper is very scarce, and the banks
can hardly make their expenses. Treasury notes at
par, are looked after good investment, but this
only by some Others are afraid OF them.

According 10 the Foreign Quarterly Review Gu
rious scenes take place in st. Petersburg on a cold
day. 1t often happens that the noses Of those ex-
posed to The open air become frozen and the suf-
erer remains perfectly unconscious of it, The chalky
white which the nose then indicates to those
who see it that it is frozen, and if not relieved in
time the nose is lost The remedy is TO rub the
nose well with snow. Custom has therefore ordain-
ed that this should be done by any who observes
the frozen nose, and it is therefore no uncommon
sight to see two Russians meeting, stoop stimuli
taneously, take a handful of snow, and go to rub
bling each others noses for dear life. According to
the same authority, the eyes also liable to be in
convenienced by the cold. Iccles form about
the eye-lashes and gradually become large enough
to prevent the sufferer from seeing with any com
fort TO himself. In such it is considered al
lowable to enter the first house at hand and demand
permission to thaw oneself leaving tear of graft
tude the hospitabe floor, in acknowledgment of
the favor received.
