Mr.. President Of School Commissioners
Some time ago at meeting Of the School
Board 90 law was passed by your hon
orable body (or it was so stated by Mr.. T.
p. HazeD prohibiting children from pass
ing from one side of the city to the other
Since Mr.. r. Carpenter came into power,
he seems to have knocked the law into a
"gin shop" Now, Mr.. President, the
matter is just here. 1t seems unjust 10 ac-
cuse Mr.. Hazel Of palmins law on the
citizens of this town unless he was author
lied by the Honorable Board. Will the
proper person or persons inform the public
in reference to the matter, and take the
blame from Mr.. Hazel? Or in other
words, who has the transferring of chill
dren ? the Trustees or the Commissioners :?
Certainly the School Board must have
passed law. Mr.. II. could never have had
the presumption to palm off law unlcs
authorized by the Board.

Found Under Suspicious Circumstances.
On Thursday night, the 18th inst, a
colored man was found upon the roof of an
outbuildng, of Joseph w. Abrahams, near
this town, under very suspicious circum-
stances. Being captured, subsequent in
vestigation disclosed the fact that he was
endeavoring to make his way to the room
Of colored girl, servant in the family, who
had refused his company that same even
ing for that of another. 1t was supposed
he was actuatcd by revenge, an axe being
found near him. Having heretofore borne
a good reputation, he was dismissed.
Drunkenness-On Saturday evening King
Alcohol, and the lion (?) Gagged one Mccain
for being disorderly in the streets. He fell
against certain store door, thus thrusting
it open, and was otherwise annoying. At
ter remaining in the leck-up short period,
he was liberated from durance vile by
Squire Cosgrove and Bailiff King.
Conccrts.-A vocal and instrumental
concert, given by Mr.. Dyer, has been in
progress for two nights. Mr. Dyer is a
graduate of the celebrated {" Pennsylvania
Institute for the Blind" Mr.. Dyer had
sundry articles for sale, the results of his
own ingenuity. Abrahams' Hall was only
partially filed, at the moderate charges of
Is and 20 cents.
Reigious-The Mcthodists still keep up
their evening meetings. The audiences are
yet large and attentive, and more zeal is
being infused. and with better results
Rev. Mr.. Potter, on Tuesday evening, al
though much indisposed, created a very
marked impression. On Wednesday even
ing the Presiding Elder, Rev. Mr.. Curtis,
alter singing by the congregation, of the
4Sth and 142d hymns, preached from the
first clause of the 18th verse of the last
chapter of Joshua. Rev. Mr. Curtis has
voice of much compass-very persuasive in
his Manner and it is difficult to determine
his forte, whether it be prayer, or sxpound-
ing the Scriptures. "Choose you this day
whom you will serve" was finely handled;
the large audience, as we'll as mourners
apparently loathe to depart.

EXtOrtiOn.

MR. EDIToR:-I have read, with great
Satisfaction, your remarks in last weeks
issue in reference to tho condition of tho
poultry that is brought into this market
for sale. The same remarks might apply
with equal force against some other traf
fickers in and out of town. 1t is a burning
shame the way the people in this town are
imposed on in the purchase ofwood and coal.
If you engage a cord of wood, in nine cases
out of ten you will get very little more than
three-fourths of cord. If you order a ton
of coal you will receive but 1000 lbs, in
Guiding dust, dirt, stone and slate, and for
which you are charged nine dollars; while
at the same time the best quality of stove
coal is selling in Philadelphia for seven
dollars per ton of 2,240 lbs, all nicely
screened and the slate picked out of it.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, of Monday last,
has the following editorial in reference to
the coal dealers of Philadelphia:
THE PRICE OF COAL.
The weather, which iSnot anything long,
but which OH the whole more nearly re-
sembles April than January in its mildness,
should have it's influence upon both the con-
sciences and pockets of the coal dealers
1t is acknowledged that there is an i'm
mense supply Of the article on hand, and
should the present clement weather con-
tinue coal will likely DO drug on the mar
ket. With the men who deal in the luXur-
les of life, and whe through the deprecia-
ton in gold were pushed to the wall, every
body has some sympathy; but coal dealers,
who for years have charged extortinate
prices for one of the most absolute neces-
saries of life, must not expect much pity if
their antcipations of hard winter and
high prices are not realized. In that event
the large stock of the article they have laid
in will probably be left OH their hands, and
the list of the failed or crippled. 1t is
time enough yet to avoid this by selling off
their coal at reasonable rates, and stop
grinding the face of the poor by over
charges. Coal is more than double the
price it was before the war, and this not
withstanding the fact that new mines are
constantly opened and worked to a degree
sufficient to fully supply the increased de-
mand. There is no just reason why it
should be more than a fourth dearer now
than formerly. and it would not be if 4
did not exist among dealers
to buy cheap and sell dear.
If it is true as stated by the Inquirer in
to the price of coal there, what
kind of conscience must the dealers in this
region have? In the name of the laboring
man and mechanic, who are compelled to
buy in small quantities, as their circum
stances will admit Of protest against
these outrageous extortions, and if these
vendors arc not willing to sell at reason
able profit, let there be a union coal depot |
for our mutual protection.

quarter being near close the District
Board held meeting and appointed Mr..
Lake again to take charge of the Bethel
School; and majority of the patrons seem
to be very glad, for they think Mr.. Lake
has been badly treated, and SO does "Tax-
Payer" sympathize with Mr. Lake, if he
has not been deceiving the people in refer
ence to his certificate, and if ho has he
certainly knows and feels the force of the
passage of Holy Writ "The way of the
| transgrcxsor is hard" Certainly the Pub
lie School of this place has been anything
but credit to it, only averaging about six
pupils. The young lady who has been
teaching has resigned, and will leave with
unfading honors when her quarter expires,
and TAX Payer thinks she will never be
found in search of school again, for she
is very respectable young lady, and the
blame should he attached to those who per-
suadcd her to act much against her wishes.
But as am still looking on, and am inter-
