The Coal Trade.

The quantity sent by Railroad this week
is 9643l 10 tons; by Canal 35,4 10 tons !;
for the week 49,, 1863 19 tons, against 112,.
10 for the corresponding week last year.
The demand continues brisk particularly
for Egg and Stove coal, and the large adj
vance obtained for these sizes at the Auction
Sale on Wednesday in New York, has unset
tied the trade to some extent, and prices
will rule higher next month for those sizes
most in demand.
The advance on lump was 80 cts; steam
boat, 80 cts; broken, 20 cts; egg, 81 90 ;
stove, So 20; nut, 62 cts; making the aver.
age advance on all sold "a cents.
There has been quite panic in the mar.
ket with regard to stove coal, which caused
the prices to run up so high Stove coal is
used for domestic purposes more than any
other size, and the demand ia always brisk
at this season of the year, but this year more
30 than usual. All the operators are break
ing up as much Of ther coal 10 this size as
their machinery will permit and they will
no doubt be able to supply the market,
which will be likely to slack off some in q
few weeks.
A correspondent at New York accounts
as follows for the high prices obtained for
stove coal lie says: 1T is known that q
considerable portion of the coal heretofore
sold at auction at much lower rates, has not
yet been delivered by the Scranton Company,
hence both the company and the purchasers
not yet supplied, were interested ir running
up the prices at the present sale, in ORDER
that both parties might be benefited by the
advance. 1t is also believed that 5000 OF
the 1000 tons Of stove were purchased by
agents of the company to supply coal here
tolcre sold not yet delivered" He doubts
whether these prices will be maintained Il
week. We had similar doubts at the last
sale, but thc prices were maihtaincG. 1t is
however, impossible TO maintain SO great a
disproportion in the price of stove coal, com
pared with the other Sizes for any length OF
time with the facilities for breaking coal il

THE election on Tuesday passed OIL

THE election on Tuesday passed OH
quietly, and with no unusual excitement.
The day was one Of the most pleasant ana
agreeable of the season. The whole vote
polled in the Borough was 704, an increase
os over the vote of October The majority
of Grant and Colfax in the Borough is 2T9,
or 8 less than the October vote. This was
unexpected, but can readily be accounted
for Some of our voters were absent, and
new accession of naturalizeG voters took their
place. The returns show an increased vote
for Grant and Colfax in most of the town
ships, which has reduced the October Demo
cratic majority in the County from 400 "
Alb. The reduction would be about loo
more. but for the Mt. Carmel district, which
increased its vote from 240 in October TO
855. Mt. Carmel township ia great on ap
emergency, and whenever our Democratic
friends are hard up, Mt. Carmel can furnish
almost any reasonable or unreasonable vote
required.

Switzerland is afflicted with horrible
epidemic disease, cretinism, which is a state
OF idiocy, accompanied with an enormous
goltre. According to careful census, recent
~ taken in the nineteen cantons there were
found 343l cases Of cretinism and G25s cases
OF insanity AS the population of the coun-
try amounts to 2,032,ll0 inhabitants, it
follows that these l0,046 persons of weak

a CLERGYMAN on THE KCKLUX MCnpERs
writes from Tallmadge, Tenn., to the Cleve-
land Herald rs follows
Twenty years ago one ofmy nephews, by
the name of Almon Case, then young man
with a small family, went South and settled
in West Tennessee as n physician, where be
practised in his profession, respected and
beloved by the people in an extensive re-
gion, where he was called upon TO visit the
afflicted. When he went South lie was O
Democrat, and so continued until the late
war broke out. lie then Joined the Union
men to assist in putting down the rebellion
and treason. His eldest son went into the
Union army, was taken prisoner hy the
rebels, and it was reported that lie died Of
starvation in Southern prison. The father
suffered much during the late war,repeatcdly
leaving his family and home TO save himself
from threstened violence. After the war
closed and Tennessee elected a new Legis
lature, he was chosen as a Union Senator to
that body, where he discharged his duties
with fidelity and honor After going to his
home from his labors in the State Senate
and as he and his family were returning
from public worship on the Sabbath, his
oldest surviving son, Il lad about sixteen
years old, walking few steps in advance of
the rest of the family, was shot by an unseen
hand and died there in the presence of the
father and mother and their aflrighted and
shrieking children, But short time after
this event, on the public road, in broad day
light, and near his own dwelling, DR.. Case
himself was attacked by rulfians and brutally
murdered. No efforts were made to arrest
or punish the perpetrators of these horrible
deeds.

Disastrous EIooa and EnuGSsuIion
lu North Italy.

ira North Italy.
Advices from North Italy report that Sc
rious floods and inundations have taken place
on the southern slope of the Alps, causing
great devastation and the loss of many lives
Previous to September 81, rain had fallen
necessarily for thirty days, but on that day
terrific storm occurred, causing avaanches
that swept entire villages before them. The
valley Of the Po is entirely inundated. The
fearful effects of the storm commenced at
FaidO. Roads were washed away by the
torrents descending from the mountains.
The village OF Giornico is partially washed
away or buried from twelve to fifteen feet
under masses Of mud and sand.
The whole village of Bodio was swept
through by the torrent, and many of the
remaining houses were crushed by an ava
lanche, Killing twenty persons. The valley
OF the licino has been devastated and every
yestige of cultivation removed, many parts
being now but huge masses of rock. The
st. Gotlard road is destroyed in several
places; the Bernardino and Splugen are
broken, the great bridges destroyed and the
Simpion road is covered for many leagues
several fathoms deep in water. On the Lago
Maggiore the water has risen to a terrible
height, and many OF the large houses are
inundated TO the second story. The railway
station at Aroma is submerged, and only the
roof and the tops of the telegraph poles are
visible In North Itay the only practicable
road is now over the Mont Gents. Never in
the memory of man has such a calamity oe-
cured
A letter from Legnago gives the following
| details Of the inundation of the Adige =
The disaster occurred on fhe night Of the
9th at spot called Beverara nearly opposite
the corn market. At one in the morning
the drums announced that the peril was be.
coming menacing; at three a renewed beat
and the sound Of trumpets, mixed with cries
OF Save yourselves !" brought the fatal news
that the waters had forced passage. To
describe the heartrending scenes which
followed would be impossible. In an in.
slant the water reached the first story of the
house the gates Of MontoVa and Boschetto
were thrown down, and two fright!ul tor
rents poured along the adjoining streets.
Happily, the stream took the direction of
Vangadizza and spread ip the valleys, hardly
reaching the village of Sam Pietro. Most Of
the shops and warehouses are DESTROYED, the
merchandise lost,and the furniture dispersed.
Entire families are actually without bread
The neighboring villages received the dis.
tressed inhabitants, and clothed. fed and
nourished them as well as they could.

REBEL1sM RAMpANT--An Attempt Made to
Throw a Train Of Cars from the Track
0hile Returning ,trem q Political Meeting.-
Last evening, while the excursion train to
the Republican mass meeting at Mechanics
burg was returning to Harrisburg after the
torch-light procession, the engineer discover.
ed several obstacles on the track ahead, in
the vicinity of the "cut," just this side of
Mechanicsburg and Immediately whistled
for the train to stop. Fortunately the train
was not under full headway at the time, and
before the obstruction was reached the course
of the train was completely checked. An
examination of the road bed revealed the
fact that several ties had been placed on the
track by some iends with the intention Of
throwing off the train, and no doubt with
the belief that by so doing, a number OF
Union voters would be killed or disabled
and prevented from reaching the polls on
Tuesday
The villains who attempted tile murder of
tho excursionists are still at large, and so far
as heard from no arrests have yet been made
We doubt if any will be made, for several
attempts at murder within the pas. five
years on similar occasions, have been winked
at by the authorities in that county! One
of which instances we will try TO call to
their minds--the shooting at the same engi-
neer who had charge of the train last even.
ing. This gentleman, George Nlonath, while
in the discharge of his duty on his locomo-
tive, was shot at three or four years ago in
the vicinity of Republican meeting, simply
because the company made it his duty to
assist in carrying persons to and from the
place of gathering at excursion rates. Is it
any wonder that Democracy ID on the wane7

IMPORTANT Discovery OF STEEI. ORE
A late discovery of iron ore in Clinton coun.
ty, near Elenburg, N. Y, after careful ex-
animation by Dr.. Jackson, of Boston, and
others, proves to be Of a superior quality for
the manufacture of steel. 1t is eliciting con.
siderable interest among the operators in
this branch of trade, both here and in Pitts
burgh, Pa. 1t is well kaown that We have
thus far discovered but few veins of ore
which makes first quality of steel, the best
of which is the Peru mine in Clinton county.
This new vein, which is believed to be of
almost unlimited extent, bids fair to equal
if not exceed in quality the Peru mine.
Should this prove true, this discovery at
once assumes national importance, provi-
ding the material for the home manufacture
of an article for which We are now almost
wholly dependent on foreign countries.

GRANT AND CoLFAX are elected by vote
AZ overwhelming as that of Lincoln, in 1864.
The electoral vote will probably stand, for
Grant and Colfax, 22S Seymour and
Blair, 60. The result to usis not surprising.
We never conceded more than 40 votes,
outside the rebel States, to Seymour and
Blair, and they do not reach that number.
A fair and honest vote would, perhaps, give
Seymour and Blair but 90 electoral votes,
namely, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware.
Thus has ended the short but rapid career
of the two leaders Of the new Rebellion.

Weary of breath,
