COAL
356 - H Apr. 21:3/2 . The board of public works has received, and bas had under consideration, a petition signed by many of the citizens of Cleveland, praying for a reduction of the present tolls on mineral coal and on boats used to transport the same. The principal reason urged in said petition appears to be that coal cannot be brought to Cleveland at sufficiently low rates to compete in the Lake market with coal delivered at Erie by the Pennsylvania Erie canal, unless the toll on the Ohio canal is reduced. The toll on the Erie canal is merely nominal. Upon a care- ful consideration of the subject, and in view of the known advantages which Cleveland possesses over Erie in point of location and facility of approach for vessels and steamboats, the board is inclined to think that a further reduction of the toll on coal is not necessary to enable Cleve- land to compete with Erie in this trade, and they would therefore re- spectfully decline making any modification of the rates of toll on coal at this time.

357 . H July 9; ed: 3/2 - Professor Walter R. Johnson has prepared for the navy department an exhaustive report on the comparative values and qual- ities of 58 specimens of coal mined in the United States and in England, for the purpose of determining the kind of coal most suitable for the operation of the U. S. government's war vessels. However, of the 58 specimens of coal tested, only three were samples of the extensive coal - fields west of the Alleghenies. "Thus the principal Coal region of the United States was unrepresented in this important trial. The consequence is that the Government has ordered Anthracite Coal from the sea-board to

"The extent and Mineral value of the Western Coal Beds exceeds that of the Eastern in about the same proportions as does the extent and quality of soil."

358 - H Juy 14:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, "B" says: I am no "coal - ologist," but it seems to me that the "Dissertation upon the Origin of Mineral Coal," by our friend and citizen, Charles Whittlesey, Esq., must attract the attention of all scientific men of our country. It is true Whittlesey has broached a new theory and has opposed himself to the written and universally received opinions of professors distinguished for their learning, scientific research and knowledge. But we are told in high authority, that "learned men are not always wise."
"If Geologists do not find it a hard matter to confute the opinions and facts set forth by Mr. W. in his 'Dissertation,' then I will confess that facts are not now as heretofore, 'stubborn things.

359 - H July 18; ed:2/1 - The English NATIONAL MAGAZINE of a recent issue carries a detailed description of the coal fields in Bear valley, about 40 miles northeast of Harrisburg, Pa. Fifty beds of iron ore and an- thracite coal are there exposed to view by the cut of the valley. These beds are comprised within a vertical distance of 1,160 feet, and the hor- izontal distance through all of them measures 4,500 feet. Analysis shows this coal is almost identical with the high grade Welsh anthracite: The ore, too, is inexhaustible and of high value.
"Does the world exhibit a parallel to this in richness of mineral and facility of access ?...
"Talk about going to England for iron, we might as well go there for pork."

365 - H Aug. 18:2/1 - The anniversary exercises of Western Reserve college at Hudson, O., closed on Aug. 14, with commencement and the issuance of diplomas.
The exercises opened on Aug. 13 with an address by Rev. I. P. Wilson of Lafayette, Ind., an alumnus, to the Society of Alumni, in which the speaker presented a comparative estimate of the past and present. Rev- erend Wilson undertook to show the superiority of ancient men over the moderns in point of general excellence.
Then followed the oration of E. D. Mansfield, Esq., editor of the Cin- cinnati CHRONICLE, who spoke on "The American Scholar, his field and responsibilities," before the literary societies of the college. On the evening of Aug. 13, Rev. S. B. Canfield of Cleveland, pronounced the concio ad clerum, calling to his hearers to be ever watchful of the signs and trends of modern events, so that their duties may at all times be clearly outlined before them. The sermon was in every respect worthy of the man and the occasion.
The commencement exercises occurred on Aug. 14 on an extensive pavilion stretched between North college and the chapel. Hundreds attended. In- cluded on the program were the following Clevelanders: Henry C. Gaylord, Edward H. Blackmer, and Henry N. Johnson. Degrees in arts were given to 13 graduating members. S. M. Treat, Esq., of Cleveland was granted a master of arts degree. A benediction closed the exercises. (17)

On the north is our own flourishing city, now distant, but soon to be brought within an hour's ride by the erection of the Cleveland and Ohio River railroad. "Nearly in the centre of the Reserve, and while just out of the bustle

and temptations of large commercial and manufacturing towns, yet readily accessible from them, a more desirable location can hardly be conceived."
The buildings already erected are large and commodious: A chapel with a library and recitation rooms; an Athenaeum, designed exclusively for the departments of chemistry and natural philosophy; and an observatory built of brick. The latter is furnished with an equatorial telescope, having a focal length of five and a half feet and an aperture of four inches, the instrument itself being supported on a large shaft of rock, deep set in the earth.
The college library contains about 4,000 volumes and occupies the basement of the chapel. The literary societies also have well selected libraries for the more familiar use of the students.
The faculty consists of a president, six professors, and two tutors, besides the medical professors and the instructors in the preparatory de- partment. Those at present connected with the school have all been mem- bers of the Yale university faculty as tutors. "Indeed, we see no ground either in facts or reason for supposing that as thorough a train- ing may not be given at Hudson as at any of the Eastern Colleges ....
"We are happy to learn that the prospects of the Institution, both as it respects the number of students and its financial condition, are better than they have been heretofore. It is lamentable to see, however, so few, of our young men seeking a thorough, liberal education, although it is now placed within the easy attainment of all. And the Institution ought to be better endowed; at least it ought to be lifted at once out of its present pecuniary embarrassments .... Cleveland has a deep interest in the success of this Institution. Its interests may be identified with hers; and her citizens may have the credit and the intellectual and lit- erary benefits of a flourishing Institution, almost if not quite as fully as if it were actually within the city limits, instead of being an hour's distance from them .... If, as we believe on good grounds, Cleveland is to become the great commercial city of the Lakes, the emporium of North- western commerce; if she is to be the commercial centre of Northern Ohio, she ought to render herself worthy of her position, and in the very beginnings of her growth direct a favoring eye towards those Insti- tutions which at once make wealth a blessing and give it stability and perpetuity." (22)
367 - H Aug. 20:3/1 - At the recent Western Reserve college commencement the degree of A. B. was conferred upon 13 young gentlemen, members of the graduating class.
The degree of A. M. was conferred upon the following gentlemen: Jacob Patch, Henry Adoniram Swift, Samuel Worchester Treat and Rev. Joseph Gaston Wilson, a graduate of the class of 1833.
The president announced that the degree of M. D. had been conferred upon 25 gentlemen, graduates of the medical department. (5)

We are pleased to hear Our Western dealers speak with such satisfaction of their Boston pur- chases, and to learn that the trade of the West with that city is rapidly increasing. The Bostonians have by their railroads bound every part of New England together in bonds of iron, and through their liberality an iron road will soon unite Cincinnati with the Lake, thus adding another tributary to the great commercial artery which is now coursing from the Mississippi valley to the Ocean city.
The cards of several of the principal Boston Houses are to be found in our advertising columns. (verbatim) (2)
369 - H Sept. 24; ed:2/2 - The Toledo BLADE declares there is no reason for jealousy between that city and Cleveland in the manner of exports and commerce between this state and others, but that each city has its own section to serve and does not impair the other's prosperity in so doing. The BLADE further states that it is unfortunate that short crops- have curtailed Cleveland's trading territory.
