The Decline In Coal.

There was heavy decline in prices AZ the
auction sale OF coal on Wednesday by the
Delaware, LaCkawanna and Western Rail-
road Company. This was the first auction
sale of coal since the strike of the miners last
summer. There was fall of iOA cts upon
CRATE coal; ~ Ia upon egg, and I9E upon
stove coal. y meeting Of the companies
dealing in Lehigh coal was held after the
auction sale, at which II was agreed to re-
duce The prices OF lump coal Is cts; broken
&c cts, egg, 80 cts: stove . cts, chestnut 20
cts. The Lehigh and WilkeSbarre company
also reduced its prices FOR free burning coal
in about the same proportions. The Della
ware and Hudson company was expected to
reduce prices, also, yesterday. The fall OF
prices may be bad for shippers, bG; will not
be considered in the light OF a misfortune by
consumers, in these hard times.

a century ago was almost unknown. is
puzZling the medical profession, and is seam
ingly UPSet;:nG the little definite knowledge
concerning the nature OF malaria which was
thought To have been Obtained II is tru9
that no one has ever pretended 10 designate
the special ingredient which gives n the
miasmatic poison lis power 10 iDiure. nor
has any one by chemical analysis been abb
to discover any difference in composition
between malarious and healthful air; il is
not even known whether the hurtful emana-
IlOn be chemical product or living ami
NAL or vegetable being. But ifthere was any
one thing supposed to be settled in medicine
ii was that the concurrence of heal, moisture,
and vegetable decomposition is necessary to
the prevalence OF chills and fever. The fact
that marshes drying under hot sun, lands
alternately wet and drained, and ground
newly cleared are fruitful sources of the dis
ease, seemed to substantiate the theory. II
was also believed that experience had proved
that the air OF thickly built cities overcame
the poisonous element of the miasma.
But Connecticut has taken il upon her.

no sufficient cause that Is apparent,
and against ali the conclusions that
we have stated. If the granite fJrma-
tion, the thickly settled condition, the pure
and rapid streams, the dry atmosphere and
moderate temperature Of New England are
no protection against this disorder, where in
The United States may exemption from il be
found? And no general cause has yet been
assigned which explains this invasion salts
factorily. 1.-THE pestiience has been brought
