The telegraph between this city and Phiadel-
phia still continues out OF order, though it is
thought that communication will be renewed in
the course OF to-day. II has, far, puzzled all TO
find out where the difficulty lies, as dispatches
can be received here, but nothing can be convey
ed 10 Philadelphia.
Josiah Bailey, Esq for long time Attor-
ney General of Maryland, and the oldest
member of the bar in the State, died at his resi-
dence IN Dorchester, Cambridge county, on Fri
day last.
stated few days since that Messrs. Jones,
Burretson & Co. had lost 81 $50 somewhere in the
street, and that $1,000 note had been returned
to them through the Post Office. Yesterday
morning they put an advertisement in the papers
calling on the finder to return them the $500 note,
and that the balance, $225, might be retained
Before 10 O'Clock in the morning. woman called
at their store and handed them $3.50, stating that
all that she had found They gave her $76,
which, with the missing 800, which, il is to be
presumed, she spent, was considered sufficient
reward.
This summer will be long remembered as the
summer OF heavy rains, ofwhch we had another
last evening, roofing up pavements and filling cell
lars to a great extent. Our streets were never
known TO be so clean before-the rains, for more
than a month past, having entirely done away
with the labors of the street cleaners. The
white pebbles in the street shine out as bright
and clear as if just from under the scrubblng
brush.
Mr. Ross Winans, of this city, the extensive
manufacturer of steam engines and locomotives,
is building four immense and powerful locomo-
tives for the Reading Railroad, the steam for
which is to be generated by anthracite coal. One
of them has been completed, and was yesterday
to Philadelphia, where it will doubtless ex-
cite much attention. The burning of coal Of any
kind in the furnace of a locomotive has hereto
fore been found impractcable, but this one was
tried on Friday last for the distance of twenty
miles, with anthracite coal, and answered to per-
lection. The peculiar adaptation OF the furnace
to the use of coal is an invention of MIR. Winans,
and one of his locomotives burning bituminous
coal, has been in successful on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad for some time.
The number OF deaths in this city last week
was 66-of this number 80 were under two years
OF age. There were IL deaths from consumption
during the week.
Burglars and incendIaries are commencing OPP
eratons in this city, but have 80 far been quite un-
successful.
There are no signs here yet ola commencement
of the fall trade, with the exception Of the extern
sive preparations making by our merchants for
the accomr odaton of their customers VIXEN they
do arrive. The spring business was unusually
large, and a heavy trade is anticipated this fall.
