latest houses are being built with CRATES
for the use of it, and only a few of the
poorest class and people who have been in
the habit of using wood will continue to
use the latter material. Another point is
that the wood in close vicinity of this
city is becoming very scarce and the
freight in consequence is continually in
creasing. On the other hand the freight
price of coal is uniform, and / believe the
time will come shortly when the cOnsump-

How far can the average man be

house in New York are secured to the

precaution is suggestive Of the doctrine
of total depravity, and is doubtless wise
and necessary. Per contra, there are

of the Bible house where the passing
crowd at certain hours of the day buy
their papers without the help of VEN

buyer of corn all the month, and to-day
finding about 30, 900 bushels due on
