Meeting of Gas Consumers.

The public will not forget the meeting to
BE held tonight on the subject of gas
The subject is one Of immense Importance to
the consumers, particularly; and there is a
great deal Of feeling in regard to it just
now.
We give place to-day to a communication
from stockholder of the present Gas Com
pany, in which it is alleged We have COM
mitted an error in stating their dividend to
be from 20 to so PER cent, whilst it is there
set forth as averaging 10 per cent. Well,
We do not know all the meaning that is COW
cred up in that simple word average, or could
we find out unless We Investigated the books
OF sn institution we have no disposition to
NEEDLE with. We only know that the peo-
pie are complaining bitterly, and that we as
one of them, feel ourselves deeply aggrievea.
Perhaps the 10 per cent dividend is declared
after re,erved fund to provide for "dead
horses'' in the way of former bad specula-
tions. If SO, our 20 or so per cent. may be
about right, after all.

Communicated.
The Day Book, in its notice for public
meeting to form new Gas Company, is in
error in attributing to the present compa-
ny dividend ranging from 20 to SO per
cent, The stock cost 500 per share, and can
at any time be bought for $ll5. A stock
which pays so high dividend as alleged
wont of course command higher figure
The dividends have not averaged more than
10 per cent, and that 90 without any COM
petition. The error is corrected, as it
might lead to results injurious to those who
might be tempted by so large dividends, to
enter competing enterprise.

AFFECTING DEATH.-Moses A. Ross, a
young man residing near Masentown, on the
Monongahela river, was drowned on the Oath
of December, by the breaking of the ice,
while attempting to cross over to see his
brother. BE struggled mantully for long
time, and finally gained footing upon the
ice, but it was too weak and he sunk once
more in the water. Two females, who
could render no assistance, witnessed the
painful scene. He cried out to them that
he was dying with chllls, and deliberately
placed his hat upon the ice to mark the spot
where he sunk, saying 81 am prepared to
go.'
