that no notice of issue was filed on Saturday 10

belief is that there is no intention to bring the
case to trial at any time.

THE DANGER OF WET CoAL.-People who
prefer wetting the winters store OF coal to lay
the dust on putting it 10 their cellars, do DOT
perhaps gnerally known that they are laying
up for themselves a store of sore-throats aud
othdr evils consequent upon the practice. Even
the fire damp which escapes from the coalmines
arises from the slow decomposition OF coal at
temperatures of but little above that OF
the atmosphere, but uoder augmented pres
sure. By wettlng mass OF frcshly-oroken
coal, and putting it into warm cellar, the
mass is heated to such a degree that
carburetted and sulphuretted hydrogen are
given of for long period OF time, and
pervade the whole house. The liability OF wet
coal to mischievous results, under such crcum-
stances, may be appreciated from the TACT that
there are several Instances Oh record OF the
spontaneous combustion OF wet coal when stow,
ed into the bunkers or holds of vessels. And
from this cause, doubtless, many missing coal
vessels have persisted Sanitarian.
