The Reading savings Bank.

AT Reading on Wednesday morning last,
judgments were entered in twenty nine suits
which were brought before Alderman Beck
er by depositors of the Reading Savings
Bank in sums of 800, and the constable
levied upon what articles he could find
thereabouts. The same afternoon +. p.
Boas, late cashier of the bank, was arrested
on charge of misappropriating the funds of
the bank. A writ of habeas corpus was
taken out, and a hearing was fixed for Wed
nesday, Dec u, Bail was entered in S25,-
600. The information was made by one Of
the depositors, and warrant was granted
by Alderman Mengel. 1t is understood that
the depostors are going to make common
cause of the prosecution, and for that pur-
pose have retained J. II. Jacobs, Col S. S.
Young, and P. D. Wanner. 1t is rumored
that other arrests viii follow. Proceedings
in bankruptcy will be instituted. Over l.
200 names have been signed to the petition,
representing almost $4O0,OOO.

The Coal Trade.

The fiscal year Of the Reading Railroad
Company and its several connecting works
and of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
and its connecting roads ended on Friday
evening, the 30th ultimo. Each of all the
New York coal companies run the fiscal year
with the calendar year, and thus cause a
jangle in the annual account of the coal
trade. 1t would be great satisfaction if the
several companies could be induced to work
in unity ON this point. The trade closes
with the companies that have ended their
fiscal year quite as flvorably as was expect
ed. It is true the auction sale of coal at
New York last week was not as satisfactory
as was previously anticipated, the prices be-
ing off a little from the last previous sales,
when an advance at this time was generally
hoped for. The few days Of cold weather,
however, have improved the tone of the
market, one New York company having is
sued a circular announcing higher prices,
and the trade generally having advanced
equal TO the circular announcement-say
about 25 cents per ton. The appearance Of
ice in the canals within the last three or four
days, and the stopping of work in the mines
OF several individual operators from too
much water in some instances and lack of
orders in others, are facts that lend strength
TO market prices and TO the demand for coal
An examination of the shipments of coal
from Perth Amboy for the past two or three
weeks shows that the shipments thence have
considerably exceeded the receipts, so that
the stock on hand is considerably reduced;
on the evening of the 3Oth ultimo the
amount remaining was S4 900 tons, against
81 900 tons on hand at the same time last
year. While the amount on hand this wear
at the close is $4,000 tons more than at the
close Of lS76,it is TO be remembered that the
shipments to Perth Amboy this year are
about 100000 tons greater than last wear.
The total anthracite tonnage east Of MaucR

A Poor House and Farm.

A second meeting of the 0verseers Of the
Poor of the several boroughs ond townships
of lower Carbon, was held at Reber's Hall,
in the Borough of Lehighton, on Saturday
afternoon, December LIST, 1877, at which the
following places were represented; Le-
highton, Paryville, Penn Forest, Towamen-

On motion, Hon. DENNIS BAUMAN, of Par
ryville, was elected President, and Harry "
Mortimer, of The Carbon Advocate, secre-
tary. The minutes of the previous meeting
we're read and approved.
The committee appointed at the first meet
ing to carry out its objects, having reported,
at the request of the meeting, Hon. W. NJ.
RAPsHER, in a very elaborate manner, ex-
planned the law and the mode of procedure
under its provisions to be pursued in order
to secure the formation of the contemplated
Poor District. The first step, he said, was
missioner from each borough and township,
whose duty it would be to select real estate
suitable for the purpose of the contemplated
farm and poor house, ascertain the conditions
and terms of purchase, and submit their re-
port to a regular term of Court, whence the
the matter would be referred to two success
sive GRAND Juries or the legal voters of the
townships and boroughs interested for con-
currence. Upon the conclusion of Mr.. RAP
Vsher's remarks, il was
Resolved, That the Overseers of the Poor
of the said boroughs and townships appoint
Commissioners in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Act of Assembly.
The following named gentlemen were
thereupon appointed Commissioners:
Lehighton, Daniel Olewine,
Weissport, Francis Yundt;
Parryville, Hon. Dennis Bauman;
Franklin, j. X. Rickert;
Penn Forest, John W. Reed;
Towamensihg, Paul Kresge;

Mahoning, j. T. Mcdaniel;
Fast Penn, James D. Ballet;
l.. Towamensing, Hon. John Craig.
The Commissioners will hold their first
Injecting at Reber's Hall, in this borough, to-
day Saturday, December sth, at p. m.
