 the market, price of $ coal, recently chartered a schooner to make a. trip here from Philadelphia with full car

 to be of excellent quality, while it was afforded to the suscribers at $7.50 a ton A quantity of it was purchased
 by the Wauregan Fire Engine Co.,, for
 the steamer. The enterprise was so successful that another cargo has been
 ordered. The tons Of this coal weigh ed 2,240 pounds, each quite an in
