of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad

OF June, 1881, and June, 1852, has Just

$sl4,l749O, against gross profits in cores

If any, reason To doubt that the present re.
lations of the trade will be maintained to
the end Of the year. There is as vet no flag

we learn, do the stocks on hand increase,
but the supply is steadily taken up with a
confidence that augurs well for the activity

After an attempt on the part Of two

been successfully accomplished this week,
by Aaron W. Snyder, of North Wales, Pa.
The rod is of copper, with cluster point and
an arrow with glass ball, the cost of the rod
erecting scafiolding, &c, was $3.50, which
we consider very reasonable charge con
sidering the danger incurred in the work.
The rod is one of the largest and in period
Of three years during which Mr.. Snyder has
been doing business in the valley, has given
the most perfect satisfaction. Among the
buildings rodded by him are the St. Luke's
Hospital, at Bethlehem, aud the Allentown
