Breach of Contract Suit.

George Rice vs.. The Pottstown Iron Co.
This is an action to recover damages for an
alleged breach of contract, the plaintiff
alleging that in May, 186S the Reading Railroad
projected branch road called the Coalbrook-
dale branch, which would have been of great
service to the defendants in affording them
facilities for communicating with their mines,
and for this reason the defendants agreed with
the plaintiff that if he would take the contract
and do the work they would take from him
$100, 900 worth of the bonds ut $95 per 800.
He performed his part of the contract, but de-
PENDANTS failed to take all the bonds, and he
now sues for the balance of $21, 712. On trial.

This morning the trial of Frank Quick for the

that the prisoner had been out with procession
during the whole day. drinking great deal of
liquor and when he met the deceased and his
friends he was very drunk. He made some re-
mark that provoked reply, and an ugly scut1le
ensued, in which the deceased received his
death wound, and the prisoner was very badly
beaten. After this he wandered about the
streets in an insane manner uutil he was taken
in charge by an officer. Counsel for the pri-
soner said that at most this could be but case
of voluntary manslaughter At the close of the
testimony the case was submitted with argu-
ment, and verdict of guilty of manslaughter
was rendered,

The weekly statement of our city banks indi-
Gates little change in the material features of
the money market. The clearings for the week
show the moderate increase of SIG, 752, which
fact, in connection with the activity in the
general loan market, reflects the conservative
course pursued by the banks. There is an in
crease in the deposits of $165, 1885, in loans of
$169, 1872, whilst the legal-tenders show an aug
mentation of $40137 The specie reserve has
fallen off 500, ,846. These figures are not indica-
tive of any material change in the money mar
ket and it it fair to attribute the close action of
the banks during the past few days to other
causes than q lack of supply.
The rates for call loans continue at about 5
per cent. on Government collaterals, and at COS
per cent. for prime business notes.
Gold opened at 1121l, advanced to 1871, and
at noon stood at about 1877. The market is
exceedingly quiet.
Government bonds are quiet and steady but
prices all off, excepting for the skies of 1867
and 1868, which are firm.
The stock market was inactive, and the trans
actions were of very moderate chaacter. In

The following extract from DR.. Richardson's
report is Important
''It is hardly necessary for me to remind you
that we have no choice in the admission of pa
tients, but are required to receive all who come
properly vouched for. If the patient be refrac-
tory or docile the rule is the same; he or she
must be admitted and then comes the often per-
picking question:-What shall we do with the
case to advance its best interest and that of the
patients with whom it is to be associated? No
institution proposes to cure all its insane,
hence increase of population is inevitable. When
it is taken into consideration that many patients
come to this department confirmed lunatics,
and who in numbers of instances have
been treated in other asylums for years. it is not
surprising that the chronic insane accumulate
from year to year. This is the history of all in
stitutions where the physician in charge is not
at liberty to refuse admission for want of room.
The crowded condition of this department neces-
states the mixing of the noisy with the quiet
patients in the open wards, always delaying and
sometimes defeating the cure of hopeful cases.
The placing of twenty-five or thirty insane per-
sons together in an open ward at night Gas we
are often obliged to do) results in constant dis
turbances and loss of sleep to the greater por-
tion of them. Often the nurses have to inter-
fere in the night to restore quiet and to prevent
the inficting of bodily harm to some of the un-
fortunates. If the noisy patient could be removed
to a building isolated from the main one, the
comfort and prospect of cure to those remaining
! would be greatly Increased"
The following table shows the number of pa
| tients treated the number cured, the number of
| deaths, and the rate of mortality annually, from
! 1864 to 1869, inclusiye:-
