Geperally purchases are made in Juae and July for the winter supply. But this season has been different in consequence of combina- tions, strikes. &c., and the very high prices de- manded, dealers here and elsewhere have held off, aud the stock on hand is very light. Itis very obvious that the coal merchants are not to be blamed for this state of affairs. The odium | should rest where it properly belongs, upon the mimers and the carrying companies who transport the coal to market, and also upon the shippers who combine with these mouop- olies to Keep up the prices.

Lake, Tesiding at the fork of the roads, abont oue-half mile distant from the city limits, It appears from all the facts which we can gather tnat on | last Saturday night, Brogden, in company with some ether negroes, visited Mr. Iiue’s house, | im which there isa grocery store. They remained until a late bour, and after the same was | closed undertook to robit, and did take away sundry articles, Brogden bung about the place, | and when the family retired he stenithily Teached the room in which Miss Lake was | sleeping. and seized hoid upon her; she | screamed, aud her cries attracted’ ber father. AS soon as he entered the room the negro struck bim with a brick on the | head, making a cevere wound; be then picked Up & ded-siat and continued the assault, striking bim several times, and bruising the arm badly which wasthrown up to shield him from the blows which were struck at his head. On the opposite side of the road. a few yards distant, 1s 4 row of ‘anement houses which are occupied by negroes, the commotion incident to the affair wxs heard. and some of the ne- £roes went over. Upon being informed o° the same, they manifested much indignation at the vutrage, ind offered their services to protect the family from further molestation. But it seems that the devilish wretch appeared again And attempted to carry out his purpose, and was again thwarted. Dr. Abram Claude was called im to render medical assistagce to Mr. Lake, whom he pronounced not dangerously burt. Officer Esmond being informed of tha mater, soon after effected the arrest of Brog- den. He was identified by Mr. Lake's famuy, and Justice Wm. K. Thompson committed him to jail to await the action of the Grand Jary. —_—_ AN LirortanT QuestTion.—What arrange.
