The young man who got knocked down for his drunken insolence on last Saturday night at the corner of Main and Juniata streets, is well known, as we have written him up several times.

Ordinance No. 4, section 5, says: that "if any person or persons shall suffer his or her or their hog or hogs, horse or horses, mule or mules, sheep or goats, ox or steer, to go at large within said borough limits, the person or persons so doing shall be fined not less than one dollar for each and every offence to be collected as provided for." This above is an ordinance of Tyrone borough. We counted yesterday morning no less than seven hogs roaming the streets at their own sweet will. Comment is unnecessary. "The Vanderbilt railroad into the Clearfield coal regions is shipping 1,500 tons of coal daily. The route is shorter by 10 miles than any known coal road, and consequently the Vanderbilt coal, which is of a superior quality, is sold more than any other. The soft coal trade is terribly demoralized, and there is no fixed rate or price." The above is copied from the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, of yesterday's issue, and for a whopper can't be beat. The truth of the matter is that the Vanderbilt line is not shipping a pound of coal of its own mining, but buys all their coal thus far from Harner, Jacobs & Co., in the Clearfield regions, which by them is shipped over the Tyrone division of the P. R. R. to Mill Hall, and then turned over to the Vanderbilt road. As for the soft coal trade being demoralized, there is not a word of truth in it, as the Tyrone & Clearfield railroad is being taxed to its utmost capacity to carry all the coal that is being offered for shipment, and, besides that, it is bringing fair prices in the eastern markets.
