D-A CITIZEN OF NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY
SwIsDLED IN PnILADELPHIA.-We find the follow
ing in the Philadelphia Inquirer, of Wednesday
last =" Joseph X, Treverton, who halls from Nor
thumberland county, Pa was swindled out of $3.50
yesterday by the confidence game being praeticed
upon him by two sharpers 1t the same old story.
Mr.. Treverton formed the acquaintance of an indi-
vidual who represented that he was well known in
Northumberland county, and who appeared to be
well posted in matters and things generally going on
in that section of the State. The new professed
friend proposed walk, and while the two were
promenading one of the thoroughfares Of the city,
sharper No. was met by another man, who pre-
ssnted bill for goods purchased, and desired pay
ment. No. sharper had only check about him
and asked the loan of s3Sc from Mr. Treverton, and
on receipt of the money the formed acquaintance
said that ho would get check cashed and return
the money, naming place Of meeting. At the ap'
pointed time the sharper did not appear, and Mr.
Treverton concluded and very properly too, that be
had been swindled."

rP TBE Coat TRApR.-The Shamokin Herald,
of last week. says that notwithstanding the fears to
the contrary the collieries pretty generally in that
locality continue in operation The cry of an over
stocked market was but partially true The only
reason for want of the usual activity in the sale
seems to be the hope of lower prices. The increased
supply is not as compared with previous years, in
excess of an increased demand, we might reason
ably expect. The scarcity Of wood, growth of busi
ness and population and the low prices, all tend to
greatly enlarge the demand for coal this year
former years. that have but little fear of any
thing like perfect stagnation of business. The low
prices will have the effect Of opening up new ave-
nues for the use and sale Of COAL -''
The Pottsville JOURNAL of the 18th inst, gives the
following report of tho coal trade in the schuykill
region "a The quantity sent by railroad this week
is IS ,SSs 06-by canal, 30,840 10-for the week,
89,6s6 16 TONS against l2O 84s tons for the
ponding week last year. --.....
This reduced production for the week shows that
the trade is still in Frustrated condition Quite
number of collieries have stopped, and We presume
will remain until consumers, satisfied that prices
60 lower send forward their orders, and pri-
become rumerative to the operator, which is far
from being the If attention is paid by the
mass of our operators to the suggestions we have
coal, whatever temporary curtailment Of supply may
be experienced by this region, it will, conf
dent, hold its own with the other regions, and during
tho remainder of the season obtain its full share Of
| trade"

the objection made to life insurance. But there is
no way in which small sum of money can be 50
protably and securely invested, for such purpose,
in a policy your life; because the payment of
single premium secures, and at once, avery much
larger sum than the Investment of the same amount
could possibly do in the ordinary operations of trade
