Boston, Feb. %. A preliminary examna-

resulted in holding them for trial. The coun-
terfeits exhibited in Court were upon the
Westchester County Bank, Peekskill, N. Y,
and were very good. The detectives are pos
tive they have got the track, and the case is
one of great magnitude.
John Morris and Dennis Carney, the former
indicted for the murder of officer Packard, and
the latter for killing his wife in Stonghton,
some months ago, were arraigned before the
Supreme Court this afternoon. Both pleaded
not guilty and were remanded for trial

Secretaries accompanied by Fish and Sir
Edward Thornton, called at the Executive
Mansion this noon and formally presented to
President Grant who was assisted in receiv-
ing by Secretary Fish, Attorney General Ak
ernan, Secretary Robson and Generals
Porter, Babcock and Dent. The interview
was entirely unofficial.
A large number of letters are daily re-
ceived at the Treasury department on the
new loan. In many cases the parties have
informed the Secretary that they are ready to
exchange their 5-20's for new per cents. In
some instances these bonds have already been
sent direct to the Treasury department for
exchange and not through agents.
The President to-day issued the following
proclamation

Manufacturing In Skowhcgan.

Skowhegan is one of the smartest villages
of its size in New England. Its inhabitants
are industrious and thriving and its business
men enterprsing and wide awake. 1t has
population of about 1000 in the thrifty and
growing village. There are three axe manu-
factories in the place. First, Messrs. Stewart
Williams & Co. This firm turns out about
$4,000 dozen axes each year. Next the firm
of II. NJ. Foster & Co., and Messrs. Wharf
& Mason, who manufacture large number of
axes annually. Messrs. White & Dane manu-
facture doors, sash and blinds; Messrs. S. C.
approved patterns, which are sent to every
part of the country and find a ready sale.
There is a slate flour mill for the manufacture
of slate -four which is used in the oil cloth
painting business, Mr.. C. NJ Bailey, propri-
etor. Mr.. Bailey has alse very extensive
oil-cloth factory in the village, which gives
employment to fifty men. Next in the list is
Lyons paper mill. At the shovel handle fac
tory of w. B. Bragg they turn out some TO-
900 dozen per year. At the corn broom
factory they turn out 10000 brooms each
year. There are also in the village planning
mill, two corn and -four mills, saw and
single mills, and a foundry. All of these
various manufactures are carried by water
power, and there is sufficient power to carry
as many more. The business men of the
village are now talking of building a wooden
mill, which we have no doubt they will do.

The members of the House on Saturday
forenoon during lull in the business paid
visit to the Senate en- masse. The pro-
cession proceeded in couples, headed by
the Speaker pro tenn, Mr.. Sewall of Old
town, and the hero of the ''avenging sword"
Mr.. Carleton of Whitefeld. The "sword so
often sharpened upon the "eternal hills" was
carried by him who has so often welded it in
his onslaught against those having designs
against the Treasury. The members of the
Senate stood aghast at the first view of the
formidable weapon, but their fears were soon
dispelled, for the visit proved to be, not of
warlike character, but of peace and good will.
Now that "Othello's" occupations gone, this
warlike instrument may we'll be turned into a
ploughshare.

FROM NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. &c. Fear of an absolute
coal famine in this city seems to be abating,
though the prospect for early resumption of
work by Pennsylvania miners is no more IA
vorable. The supply of bituminous coal
available by means of the Erie Railroad is
unlimited, and arrangements are making to
bring large quantities from Baltimore and
Richmond. There was no material change
in the price of coal yesterday, which would
at $l4 dollars per ton, advance nearly 100
per cent since Jan. LIST. A Pottsville, Pa,
despatch says workingmen will hold another
meeting tomorrow, and it is believed they
will accept the 250 basis. Striking miners are
making continual efforts to throw the trains
of the Reading railroad from the track, and
succeeded in doing considerable damage, and
it is constantly guarded by watchmen. 1t
is reported that.one passenger train was ut
terly wrecked on Friday.
A company of freedmen from Kentucky
sailed from this port for Liberia, Wednes-
day. and sixteen hundred more from N. Y,
Georgia and North Carolina have applied
for an early passage.
The coal situation remains unchanged
All the papers predict an early exhaustion of
the supply unless the transportation compa-
MES give way, there are now over two miles
of cars with coal on the Delaware and Lack
awana r. r., between this city and Ruther-
ford Park, N. Y, where they have been
standing for month.
