The enhanced prices of coal in England have caused various interests inthe East and West Indies and South America to make arrange- mente for supplies for lines of steamers, and | Jor other purposes, from the port of Baltimore— | their action being based upon information that the tariftef this company would not be ad- ¥anced during the approaching winter. In or- der to furnich the facilities which the enlarged ¢onsumption of the excellent coals upon the line of the Baltimore and (b'!o road wili prob bly demand, it has been determined to con. struct a further addition of tive hundred ho} pers, of eleven tons capacity each, exclusively for this trade. To meet the expected increase arrangements are now being ma: struction of a third track from eastward. In regard to THE METROPOLITAN BRANCH ROAD, the report says that unexpected delays, arising ebiefiy from unusual sickness ai the work- men upon a portion of the line, have occurred im the completion of the Metroputau branch road. The entire line from Point of Rocks to ‘Washington is so nearly finished (tmeluding the | beavy masonry at the Monocacy river and other | points upon the road) that its early opening may | Bow be safely anticipated. Phe through pas- Senger service between the West and Washing- ton and Baltimore can then be performed by this direct and excellent line,sothat the donble- track road between Point of Kocks and Baiti- more can be used without interference by pas- senger trains with the enormous and inereasing for the con- the coal regions tonnage business of the company.

THE BOARD OF TKUSTEES CENSURED BY A MEETING OF COLORED CITIZENS. At a mass meeting of colored citizens at Israel Chureh, Capitol Hill, last night, the ebairman, Kev. Charles Keys, stated the object of the meeting to be to protest against the iate action ef the colored school trustees towards the colored preachers who called on the board tostatethe objection of the ministers and their congregations to the singing in the colored pub- lc sebools of secular songs by the pupils, dis- tasteful to seme of them; and also to protest against the action of the board in dischargin pupils frem the echools for refusing to sing such objectionable songs. Even cbildren could not be made to think when they were singing to the tune of ‘When the Swaliows Homeward Fly” and ‘Kise Me Mother, Kiss Me Quickly,” that they were singing genuinely «Praise God from Whom all Bi g8Fiow.” The actions of THIS MIGHTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES were arrogant in the extreme. They thought they knew everything. Mr.@. F. ‘I. Cook, the superintendent, had said that the colored Preachers of the District were not enlightened enough yet awhile to offer suggestions as to the Strap bad corn gen erhaps he woul? ind out better yet. He then read letters from Minnie Ward, Emms Ward, Emma Reed, Mar- tha Warfield, Julia Washington, and Fannie B. George, all teachers, stating that paplis had objected to joining in the singing of the secular songs. The chair then offered resolntiops cen- suring the colored schoo! trustees.

FATAL TO THE CASE. Jas. O'Hagan was charged with fast driving and running inte OQ. F. Emmerson’s rehicie, breaking some spokes out of a wheel. Mr Harri , counsel for defense, asked that the case be dismissed on the ground that it hud not been proved that Mr.O’Hagan was at the time driving. The court overruled the point and fined defendant $20, from which an appeal was taken, and bonds in the shape of collateral offered; but Attorney Miller objected to a money security, contending that the law re- quired surety in a responsible bondsman. Mr. O'Hagan was. thereiore. compelled to go in search of bonds, when his collateral! of $100 was returned to him. After the disposition of the case Mr. Herrington called attention to the fact that Mr. Miller had laid his information in this case in the January term instead of the Decem- ber term, the January term not commencing until next Monday. Mr. Miller (considerably taken aback.)—‘‘Your honor, I ask leave to amend the informatio Judge.—‘+it cannot be done now, it is too late; the case with the papers as they are must go to bs other court, and the will remain as a Of course the mistake is fatal to the case.

Stock in WixTg2.—The Rural Home save: An experienced farmer can tell very quickly by glancing over his flock of sheep whether any are crooping, and if they are he will have them removed to a sepa yard where they can have better nursing. Cattle should be fed in sach a way that the etrong one cannot drive the weak away from their fodder and water. Stock should always have a plenty of clean, dry bed. ding to lie upon at night. It is perfectly cruel to allow alive animal to sleep at night upona herd, cold plank, or upon wet, filthy straw. Dry straw, sides being soft to He upon, isa poor conductor of heat, and consequently keeps within the animal his own heat. bd aes A Naw anp Sunswp Fravp.—The latest dodge in the market line is larded corn meal, or corn meal larded. This new article of com merece is sold for lard, and is composed of about equal quantities of genume lard and fine white meal. The process of manufacture is to meit the lard and then add the meal, stirring tuem well ether. The compound can be easily detected by its rough and grainy appearance. The meal is fully deveioped when the article is melted. When meal is selling at sixty cents per busbeland lard at twelve and a hali cents per pound, it does not require much of an arithme- ian to count the profit. Chilicothe (Uhin) Cun- iatution.

The infant is snapped up ina mo- ment, and the chances are a dozen to one against its ever being restered to its proper owner. Indeed, so trequent are these misap- propriations of babies that they ean only be accounted for by supposing that the babies are taken by mistake; absent persons pick up a baby and carry it’ off as they would 7 [che or any other article of small v following advertisement, which ared in the Daily Telegraph, shows how easily, nowa- days. babies may be lost: “The lady wlio held a baby mn Regent's Park on Thursday, while the maid fetched @ cake, and on her return could not be found, is requested to sen] the baby te No. 15 Queen's square, Bloomsbury.
