THE COAL TRADE.

The quantity sent 10y Railroad this week 10

week 55.49j II tons. Total by Railroad
5i7.277 o. against 6,G9I 10 tons. Ditto
by Canal S7G24 OIL against 5000 " tons
to same period last year. o-
The shipments this week are less by 3,96'
tons than last week,-and 26,649 tons less
than for the corresponding week last year.
The trade is rapidly on the decline from
this Region,--we are now l4.5SI O4 tons
behind the shipments to same period last
year. We think the shipments will continue
10 fall of for the ensuing two weeks. There
is a determination on the part OF large
number moi to push their Collieres at present
prices for Coal-and it was stated yesterday
at the Coal meeting, that those who had
asked the highest price for Coal were doing
the most business The low prices at which
some Coal is offered causes consumers to
suspect that it is worthless. And there is
lust cause for such suspicion, we
know that some Of the Coal offered for sale
at these low rates, has been stocked on
wharves for year, and some even two
years as saleable.-lhnerS Journal.

GENTLEMBS:
AS it is generally known that we are
a Candidate for reelection to the Office OF
County Superintendent Of Common Schools,
it was not our intention to say any thing on
the subject publicly, but as there seems to be
q disposition, with few, TO make wrong
impression, we feel it our duty to write these
lines. There are few individuals, who are
anxious to oppose us, and wLo therefore de-
sire to urge an objection, however groundless
it may be. Hence we have been told that
q few centend that the Superintendent must
have been quite recently, or must now be, en-
gagged in teaching school. This is not the
case. He must be "a person Of literary and
scientific requirements, and skill and expe-
rience in the art OF teaching" This the law
requires and nothing more A brief state
ment will show, whether our qualifications,
in this respect meet the demands of the law.
In addition to about two years employment
as teacher, we had the care OF high school
for years, which was relinquished only, on our
removal to this State. We were entrusted
with the selection of the teachers and the
Superint of the school. Some of then
boarded, and all studied with us. We visited
the school frequently and gave instruction in
the art of teaching. government, &c.
As the teachers thus selected we College
students, whose object was to teach during
the day, and study with US in the morning and
evening. aud as we were in u certain sense
responsible for their success, we felt is our
duty to visit the school often, and give coun-
sci and instruction concerning it. This We
did, as already stated aud also read the best
works on the art of teaching. 1t was in this
school, whilst under our care, that Rev. j. ]
Crumba1gh, very superior scholar, who has
recently been appointed as County Superin-
tendsut OF Lancaster county, in this State
was prepared for College. Since that time
we have had nearly three years experience as
County Superintendent; witnessed many diff
ferent modes of teaching and had opportuni
ty to judge their comparative merits. We
have also, since We assumed the Office, read
new works on the best and most approved
modes of teaching delivered many lectures
on teaching and education held O number
Of Institutes, SOME of which were attended
by Professors and Teachers Of High Schools
aud received their highest commendations.-
The public are able to judge from these facts
whether we ought not, by this time possess
skill and experience in the art Of teaching"
am, very respectfully, your
obedient servant.
