The committees of the Lehigh and Schuylkill
Coal Exchanges met in Philadelphia on the
31st ult. and agreed to make 10 change in the
line and city and harbor prices of coal during
November. The harbor prices for hard white
ash coal, delivered on board vessels at Port
Richmond. are $500 for lump. steamboat,
broken and egg: 81. 45 for stove, 1870 for chest
mt, and 1896 for pea. The line and city prices
at Schuylkiil Haven are 50. 75 for lump, steam
boat. broken and egg, S3 for stove and small
stove. $3.50 FOR chestnut, and $50 for pea. 1t
Is understood that no change will be made in
the Eastern prices. the shippers being satisfied
with the present circular rates, which are said
to be pretty firmly maintained. The largest
tughoat ever built in this country was launched
or the 2Sth uis. from Ncafe & Levy's shipyard

use in the Cuff Of Mexico and in the harbor of

the evening it produced ga barrels in an hour,
aud some oil was lost The oil flowed 90 feet
above the top of the derrick. 1t is believed
that the first day production of the well will
exceed 5000 barrels, far outstripping the
famous Christie and Phillips wells, which pro-
duced respectively 5000 and 5000 barrels day.

THE GERMAN MANUvERS.
The Hammer In Which Crops ere Trampled and
Peasants Paid.

London Hncs.J
Two reasons, probably, why Autumn man
uvers on large scale have been discontinued
In England are the fact that the independent
spirit Of the English farmer would not submit
to the tramping down of his late crops by large
bodies of troops, as wellaas the unwillingness
OF English househOlders to have soldiers billeted
ON them in mere piping times of peace. But
these objections 60 for nothing in this country,
OF which the paramount interest is the effi-
cheney of its army, and itsarmy cannot possibly,
IN the opinion of those best able to judge, be
made efficient without Autumn manuvers on
an enormous scale. Therefore the peasants and
the landed proprietor must patiently and
periodically submit to see their clover, their
turnip and their potato fields, their vineyards,
their orchards and their cabbage gardens be-
come the scene of mimic battles; and, as far as
the mere surface of the ground is concerned,
the destruction wrought by hiegspiel is not
very much less complete than that resulting
from real war. 1t is true military commits
sion afterwards passes over the wasted region
1or the purpose of appraising the damage done
to crops, but there are few agricultural sufferers
from the hootS OF cavalry and the wheels OF
cannon who would not prefer immunity from
devastation to compensation which does not
wholly comfort. Perhaps the most considerable
Item In the manuver expenses is the sum thus
awarded for territorial damage; but another
very formidable charge is that for cantoning
the troops. 1t is always contrived that the con-
tending corps shall bivouac without tents for at
least one night-senerally two-in the course
OF their exercises. and, for the rest of their
time, they are billeted in the villages round
about. For each man billeted on him y house,
holder is entitled to about Cd day; and for
this amount he gets a ticket from the quarter
master, which the burgomaster of the place
shall meanwhile cash. But if the householder
is kind and tendcr-hearted peasant with a
fondness for the poor but honest sodger -
and in the Fatherland the number of this be-
nevolent class is exceedingly great-he will
return the ticket to his enforced guest with q
request to turn it to account in the purchase of
beer and tobacco a request with which in no
single case compliance is ever refused. The
officers of course, are always quartered on the
better families, and, though the latter are also
entitled to a pecuniary return for their hospi
tality, and although this return is always
offered, it is almost invariably declined. For
German officers, though good and etiicent are
rarely rich, and their countrymen know it.

Strange Case of Hydrophcbia.

Some months ago Harvey Coffin, aged II,
who lives with his gran i:itiic- 1T Owego, NY,
went home with his hand badly lacerated. He
said he had torn it on barbcd wire fcuce
The wounds healed, and nothing more was
thought of the matter. On Monday OF last
week the boy was seized with violent spasms
since which time he has been SO violent that at
times it has required the united strength o.
seven men to hold him in bed He whines and
barks like dog, froths at the mouth, and
snaps at all who come near him. 1t is believed
now that at the time he came home with his
wounded hand he had been bitten by dog,
and that owing to the great and well-known
fear aud nervousness of his grandfather over
hydrophobia he had suppressed the fact. The
latest reports from the boy are that his par
oxysms grow more violent, and that the ply
sic;ans have pronounced his case one of hope
less hydrophobia.

Mulching Young Trees.

A great point with newly planted
trees is to keep the roots moist and cool
during the summer heat. This is best
not by profuse watering, but
by mulching the surface around the
tree with leaves, course manure, spent
tan, or even hay. Near terminal sta
tons Of railroads, the mingled sawdust
and droppings from stock.cars, answer
admirably. Such a mulch prevents
evaporation, keeps the ground cool,
and promotes the growth of the small
roots upon which the life> of the tree
depends. In winter it protects the
roots from sudden freezing and thaw-
ing, though care must be taken not to
furnish harbor for mice. With ever.
green trees such treatment is almost
indispensable. Many trees which have
been planted for years, ounce especi.
ally, are benefited by mulching. -
