o. The WEATHER.-The bleak and
cold winds OF November are upon US, and
the preimnaries of winter are ALREADY
here. Coal fires are becoming every day
more and more important and we pity
those who are not able to procure a good
supply Of that valuable mineral from the
Shamokin coal region.
The operators here are doing all they
can 10 supply orders, but We fear that
many who have delayed their orders will
find some difficulty in getting supply
The operators could do much more, if they
could procure sufficient number Of miners.
u The Court for the first week closed
on Thursday. Most Of the important cases,
having been fixed for the second week,
there was not sufficient business ready, and
Judge Jordan discharged the Jurors on
Wednesday evening.
There was a Considerable amount of
criminal business despatched, a braach Of
our Jurisprudence that seems to grow more
rapidly than any other.
