THE PRIcr OF woop AVID COAL.

The following Petition is now in circulation
throughout the city aud we hope II will be
thnroughly circulated, and sent to the Secre-
aary of War, without delay. The dealers in
n.l have made the partial and temporary
blockade Of the Potomac an excuse for extor-
til n, which should not be permitted and we
have no doubt the petition of the citizens will
<a forcbly call the attention of the Secretary
he matter, that he will apply the remedy at
ICE.
PETITION.
~ the Hon SIMON CAMERON, Sec'y Of War:
In April, '6l, the -four dealers in. Washington
", in Georgetown, taking advantage OF the
s,lated situation Of those two cities. and Of the
| ,is'urbed condition of the public mind, sought
to impose upon loyal citizens by char ging the
| IN st extortionate prices for -four. Under your
| i rnction, the Government, with admirable
Hrnness aod fore light, promptly seized, so far
- was possible, upon the -four, either arriving
a or stored, in this vicinity and offered 1t to
consumers at such reasonable prices rs were
current before the Interruption Of communica
ti,n with Baltimore. In consequence Of thi
rise action on the part Of the War Department
dealers speedily contented Themselves With |
far profit; and loyal citizens were inspiIet
" Ith renewed affection for a Government whicl
''ytendcd its kindly protection over the com
,non transactions Of daily life
In view of this fact, the undersigned loya
1T ms of the United States, now resident Il
w. shington aud Georgetown, would respectful
y v direct your attention TO the extortionat
I ,rices now charged by dealers in wood an
, | 90 L. as exhibiting condition Of affairs anal
=, ogous to that which called for your action !
April last. Uuder the pretence Of the existin
! blockade of the Potomac, these dealers hav
al .eady raised the price Of coal to $l2 per tor
o and of wood $40 per cord and notify the put
r, lie that they will soon charge from $l5 to "
II o. the same. Such prices bear with great 81

coming winter, without terrible privations.
e We would further respectfully represen
4. tat this increase 10 charges Is not caused by
d nctease of cost TO the dealers in the article
, above referred to, nor by any present scarcit

of the Federal capital-a condition which call
for the indulgence OF all loyal citizens, rathe
han for the exhibition of a disposition to pre-
4 unnn the necessities of the Government.
4 We would, therefore, respectfully petitio
your honorable self, in view of the facts abov

wood and coal, a course similar to that whic
y was attended with such happy results In April
a or to extend such other protection to the loys

Treatment of Group.

The Journal Of Health gives the following
advice in the treatment of Group:
Apply cold water--ice water, if possible
suddenly and freely to the neck and chest,
with sponge. The breathing will at once
be more easy and free. and the difficulty re-
lieved. Soon as possible let the sufferer
drink as much as it can, then wipe dry and
cover it up warm, and soon quiet slumber
will relieve the parents anxiety, and lead the
heart In thankfulness to the Power which
has given to the pure-gushing fountain such
medical qualities.

The alum will be perfectly dissolved by the
alcohol, and in clear weather the liquid will
be transparent as the purest water. On the
approach of rain or cloudy weather, the alum
will be visible, faky spiral cloud in the cen
