ponies, &c. Old Probabilities will be

Government, will, of itself, be truly q
grand affair.
The annual meeting of our City
Board of Trade, was held few days
ago, at which John Welsh, Esq, was
chosen President; 1115 members are
upon the roll; Bureau of Commerce,
as one Of the Departments of the Ma
tional Government, is strongly urged.
The proposed combination in pig iron
has come to grief; it was the intention
to reduce the production of each pig
iron producing establishment, 80 per
cent. provided two-thirds of all the pro
ducers would in writing agrees thereto;
as less than one-third, favor the combi-
nation, furnace owners are condescend-
ingly notified by the American Iron and
Steel Association-Gr Great Britain Amer
lean servitor-that they can pursue their
own course.
PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE REFORM.
A gentleman in this city, named Josh
ua l.. Baily, has locg labored in the
cause Of temperance, but without avail /;
his experience taught him that there is,
on the part of the general public, an
imperious desire for stimulants, and
that in obedience to that demand intoxi-
eating liquors are indulged in, because
temperance workers have failed to fur
nish in their stead, drink that is nutri-
tious and stimulating but not intoxicat-
ing.
To meet this long felt want, Mr.. Bal
ly has fitted up in Philadelphia a model
Coffee House, where half-pint mug of
coffee and two ounce roll is furnished
for five cents, just half the price of a
drink of whisky. The coffee is made
fresh every hour and from the best cof-
fee in the market, and 1 am happy to
say that the first week it was opened,
seven barrels of coffee grounds were
donated to charitable institutions, and
the coffee re-made from these grounds
was the best ever furnished these insti-
tutions-at least so writes a Clergyman
connected with one of them.
The Model Coffee House is intended
for working-men; and in this class are
included clergymen, bankers, editors,
merchants, manufacturers, mechanics,
carpenters and masons, and their ap-
prentices, clerks, printers, newsboys,
draymen-every man who works, either
with his head or his hands-these are all
WoRKNG-MEN, and to all Of them the
model Coffee House has proved great
blessing, as hundreds frequent it who,
previous to its establishment, took their
beer with the regularity of returning
day. The desire for strong drink is re-
moved by the substitution of some
thing thousand times preferable, and
Mr.. Baily has proven himself the best
temperance advocate have ever met.
THE PARTY.
Both parties in this city have COM
pleted their nominations for county
officers and must say that the Repub-
hcans have, in their nominations, profit
ed nothing by their reverses of last
year. and the Democrats, with degree
of hberality not often exhibited, have
taken no advantage of their political op-
ponents. The most L can say for the
latter is, they have elected Alderman
''Bill' McMullen n DELEGATE to the State
Convention to nominate Governor.
