over the Central railroad to Red Bank.
When the car arrived at Woodhridge
the door wus found tu lie unlocked and
opnii, and on its arrival ;i( Red Hank it
wus discovered that three of the horses
were gone. Whether the horses were
stolen or whether the door was left open
anil they jumped out of tho car while it
was in motion is noL at present known.
Various rumors are circulated in regard
to their disappearance, tlie only fact com-
mon to all being that the horses are gone.
On Tuesday Mr. fieo. Stilwell mo\ed
his but .her shop into his new Build-
ing. Air. Stilwell now has the linest

constructed throughout of the best ma-
terial and presents a very handsome
appearance. The. painting and staining
of tlie front is nn exeellen^pipceof work
and was executed by Mr. Charles Gobish,
of Jersey City Heights. An uwning has
been placed in fnmi of the building to
shield the windows from the rnyn of the
sun. Two ice boxes have been con-
structed in the interior of the building
.and nn elevator will be added. A new
steam-engine has been purchased which
will supply the power for chopping meat
for sausage and for pumping wuter.
Jlr. Matthew 11. Gregory, who pur-
chased the wreck of (he " Augustiuii,"
recently missed a quantity of the more
valuable portions of his property. From
information wiiicli he received be ei:n-
cludcil Hint the property was in the
possession of Daniel O'Conner and
Thomas Leddy, two "dealers in junk.
Jlr. Gregory applied to Justice Child for
a search warrant, which waB granted,
and Ollicer Burden detailed to search the
premises of the piyties. At O'C'oiiner's
^iantily of copper, lirnss and nmnilla
rope, valued at .frill, was found, which
Mr. Gregory claimed us his property.
Sir. O'Conner assisted Borden and dreg-
nry in their senrch.mid said the property
hud been purchased by him without any
knowledge o( its having been unlawfully
obtained. At Jlr, Leddy's the purl ics in
search of tho goods were, met with
tlirenlN nnd nhttsn. Mr. Gregory received
a severe blow with n copper ketlle,
nml Officer Borden watt also nssnulted.
Mr. Leddy wus not at homo nt the time,
nnd consequently hnd no part in the
nffray. About $40 worth of Mr. Greg-
ory^ property wtia found on the prcmi-
Be» and removed hy Borden. Mr.
Gregory clnims to linvo lost considerably

The Fish Case.
The ciise of Jehu P. Cooper vs. George
Curtis, Fish Warden of Monuioutli eoun-
ty, was argued in the Supremo Court, at
Trenton, before Judges Uepin', rjciultler
nnd Knapp, on Tiu'silav 1 . Il will he re-
membered tllllt Cooper W'as sl'i'd before
Justice Corliis for hauling n seine in the
North Shrewsbury river on llio niutli
day nf last October, contrnrv lo an act
for the prcscrvnlion of lish. Judgment
was given aguinst (lie defemlunt. wh-i
thereup in carried the eai-.e lu the Su-
preme Court.
The t .vo jirim-ip.'il points on whiclHhe
cluini for (hi 1 reversal of Ihe judgment
is bused are, first, that the net under
which the complaint wus made is a spec-
ial act, applicable to the Shrewsbury
river, and therefore uneonstiliiliimul ;
nnd second, that it depriveTl the defend-
ant of the right of trial by jury.
Great interest bus buen manifested in

Was that I was a member of the New

I was teated with my wife in our pretty and inclined in front to the slope of the
house on Eighth street, enjoying a fro-! roof. The apartment contained but one

The regicidal maDia seems to be
preading beyond the frontiers of Eu-
rope. King Tibau, of Burmah, recently
narrowly escaped being the victim of
certain malign sorceries which it was
upposed would prove fatal. The con-
ipirators were Knin Apau, nn old lady
>f honor at court, and her two sons,
MounR-Rwah and young Ilssuit. The
ild lady was the nurse ofSalin Supyah,
the favorit!; daughter of the late king,
who had refused to becorne the Queen of
Burmah by marrying Tibau, and had
icr hair cut in order that It might be
mpossible for him to marry her. The
ould-be witch has hod the word
Rebel" branded with hot iron on her
orehead, and bee-i consigned to a eon-
v«nt. Her two sons were flogged to
death. Salin Supyali has also died, her
death being attributed to a " disease of
the neck," which is probably a euphuism
or strangulation.
Tha. wheat production of America
ormed a topic ol discussion at a recent
meeting of the Farmers' club held
in London. A paper read by
Mr.* Finlay Dunn entered into de-
ails showing that the United States at
rtsent produced about one-fourth the
wlieat grown in the woi'ld, the vield for
1870 being about 66.00fi,000 quarters.
According to the statistics, the wheat
area Is upward ot 32,000,000 acres, OJ
ten times' that of the British islands
The area of the crop of 1878 was
wenty-five per cent. greater
han that of 1877, while duriDg
1879 a further increase was mode
of fully three per cent. — an incre-
ment of twenty-eight per cent, under
wo years. Th's rapid augmentation
testified how readily nnd quickly the
supplies in America responded to the
demand. Even with this large accession,
he wheat area of the States was only
equivalent to the dimensions of the sin-
gle State of Alabama, or only l-44th of
he total area of the United States.

a new police there, ind Baltimore is one
oi the quietest cities in the Union."
I heed not detail any more of the con-
versation; suffice it to Bay that Ardew
persuaded me to net in his place, and
the hint of a handsome present from the
monumental city so mollified my wife
that she gave her consent.
• On the appointed day, provided with
the neceasory vouchers, I sUrted on
my journey, having first iaithtully
promised my wife that I would not
venture in the streets, of Baltimore after
dark. I shall not detail the particulars
of my journey. Were I. to do BO I
might describe how crowded, we were;
how we were annoyed by a squalling
intent that it was utterly impossible to
silence; how wo were delayed in the
crossing of the Susquehanna by some
accident to the ferryboat;' how I tried
to read,' bnt oould sot on account oi the
perfect babel around me; how I en-
deavored to make fun of the boys who
sold.apples,and had the laugh turned
• against me by those youthful venders oi
that, wholesome fruit. All this and
ft great denlmoro, I might toll yon, but
as everytravoler goes through the same
experience it would only be'repeating
an old story. . ' •
We reached Baltimore at last, and I
was, immediately driven' to Burnum's
hotel. I had some difficulty in making
tty way to the clerk's counter, the hall
was so crowded with people. ,
. "All full, sir," said the iontlemanly
rferk, i«s ii -palled the book toward me
icManter my.iwme..
_... neGilmor houso and received
tb>?«ame reply. It was the same with
:• thftEutawjaud the Howard house'and
half rdojan other hotels It was get-
"&o|dark andl began to think I should
b»ve to sleep In the hack nil night. *
The door opened and two mpn entered
tlie chamber, placing something heavy
or. the flooi.
" Will, I'm blessed if this man hasn't
hanged himself again," exclaimed a.
voice which I recognized to bo the land-
lord's.
'• Uy golly ! that's true," said the
other man. "No, I see how it iB; the
stranger found out the trick you played
on him, and not liking the idcaol sleep-
ing with a corpse, he tucked him up
there to get him out of the way."
" You're right," replied the landlord;
"well, he's acool 'un nnyhow, and would
you believe it, last ninht I thought he
was a coward ? That only shows how
easy it is to be mistaken in peop'e. And
now he sleeps as soundly as a church;
let's be careful not to wake him."
I breathed freely, for I immediately
understood the whole ma ter. The
landlord had put mo to Bleep with a
dead man. I heard them take down
the body and put it into a coffin—for it
was that tlicy had brought with them.
They carried it away and I was left to
myself. With my mind thus relieved I
fell asleep and enjoyed two houre'
delicious slumber. I then got up.
dressed myself, and proceeded down
stairs.'
" Good morning," said I to the land-
lord, who was behind the bar.
"Good mornin', sir," he replied,
sheepishly; " I hope you slept well."
returned; "mybed
, g to the sleeper.
My curiosity got the better of my.polite-
nes«, and before I scarcely juiew what I
was about I found myself examining his
apparel. The handkerchief which cov-
ered them was a coarse cotton one, and
IIIB clothes of coarse homespun, and
were such as are usually worn by
drovers. My companion, then, was
evidently a drover—a rough class of men
who usually stand upon very little cere-
mony. •
Partly undressed as I was, I began to
feel very coo'—but belore venturing
into bed I determined to try an experi-
ment to see if thedrovcr slept soundly
or not. ' I had #ken the precaution to
leave the bedroom door open so that I
could make a run of it if neoessary. I
fixed my eye on the bed as 1 let my boot
fall. The drover was evidently a Bound
sleeper, for although the noise made was
considerable ho did not mako the
slightest motion. .This decided me, and
I hastily finished undressing and c:ept
into bed. «
Of course, I was careful not to touch
my Companion. I do not know how
long I lay awake, but the novelty of the
situation drove sleep from my eyes for
some time. -By degrees, however, the
strang6nc8srof my position wore off. I
felt reassured by my bedfellow's-sound
sleep, and'tlie gentle murmuring of the
breeze outBlde caused mo to follow his
example, v
' I have no idea how long'I slept before
I commenced to" dream. I suddenly,
however, though that my companion
woko up and iat upright in bed; that
got rid of him."
" I know you did,"returned mine host,
with a knowing wink. "Well, I must
say, you are the coolest chap I ever
un w."
Not another word passed between us
with reference to tl.e affair; and I after-
word learned from the conversation of
• lie people while I was at breakfast that
my companion for the night was a
drover, who, having made a ruinous
speculation in cattle, had committed
suicide by hanging himself in the cham-
ber the night before.
I left the Golden Angel thut morning,
having, obtained quarters at Baraum H
hotel. I went to the convention, voted
six hundred times for , and returned
home, having given full satisfaction to
Mr. Ardew.
I told my adventure to my friends—
not as I have told it to you, dear reader,
but with the same construction that the
landlord of the Golden Angel put upon
it. Everybody thought I had displayed
extraordinary coolness and intrepidity.
There is one thing, however, to which I
have fully made up my mind, and that
is, I will never attend nnother political
convention as long ns I live.—Baltimore

How the Edison Stock Advanced.
The British Trait Journal puts Mr.
Edison's recent discovery and_the effect
it hod on the stock of his company its
follows: In the summer of 1878 a com-
pany of capitalists formed a corpora-
tion with (300,000 capital, in $100
shares, the money to be' expended by
Mr. Edison in experimenting with the
olectric light. After months of unsuc-
cessful experiments, the prospect lookec
very blue, and as the overworked and
disappointed investigators became more
cadaverous, the Bharcs sank in the mar-
ket. The $100-declined to $30, when
one day Edison, having 'UBGd a piece of
paper for a light, carelessly rolled the.
burnt fragments between his fingers,
and suddenly discovered his latest great
hit. The tact of his discovery caused
the Btock, which had been down to $30,
to jump by rapid stages vip to $3,500 per
share. .

A llinliollcal Invention.
Only a few short weeks ago, says the
Rochester Democrat, an innocent adver-
tisement appeared in the newspapers,
ind nn unsuspecting public read that
the now game of "15" wiis for sale.
That was all, but few realized the deadly
meaning concealed beneath tliose appar-
ently harmleBB wordB. A gentleman
s.iw one in the store, and it looked so
simple that he took it home to amuse
the children. In ten minutes from the
time lie tried to explain to the little peo-
ple how the thing was done he was ob-
ivious to all outward things, and went
on, hour after hour, moving the little
blocks of wood with the feverish in-
tensity of amadman. A neighbor called
in, and seeing at a glance how the puzzle
should bo worked out, bought cne nnd
tried it.. He is still trying. And so the
nfeclionspread. To-day thereishardly
i pleasant home in the city that has not
he da»k shadow of "15" across its
hreshold. Men demand it, women
plead for it, and children cry for it. And
when it catches them it never lets go.
Occasionally some one will get the fif-
teen numbers in the proper order, but
his elation is short-lived. To suve him
1m cannot tell how he did it, nor can he
do H again. All theories are wrong,
and experience is ol no avail. It is
worse than a malignant fever, and no
one can tell the moment when he will
be made n victim. Young men carry
t became in their hip-pockets, the same
as TexanB do revolvers, and it is even
more fated in its use. It is produced on
the slightest provocation, and. instantly
the spell is worked. Men swear and
throw it from them, but they pick it up
again and go on moving the blocks of
wood up and down, to the right and to
the left. It is thu last three numbers
that disturb the mental equilibrium. It
is plain enough sailing until then. It is
there the trouble commences. What
will lie the result no one can tell. Un-
less there is a speedy relief we must be-
come u nation of block-movine idiots.

KcUter Vfu
The Italian* are rapidly reducing
armored vessels to an absurdity, They
are building twa, enormous men-of-war
-the Italia and Lepahtc-^-Wbich are to
be of about 13,000 tons each; and to
carry armor of thirty-sit Inches in
thickness. No jrun now in existenee
can pierce this armor, so that the ships
will be for a time invulnerable. On
th« other hand, their immense draught,
of -water wl ll prevent them irom entering
almost, all the French and Austrian
harbors, so that they can be of little use
for offensive purposes, so long as hostile
vessels are content to let them alone.
Of course, * guns will Boon be made
which will pierce thirtyisix inches of
iron, and the Italia and the Lepanto
will then be as useleis as are the old-
: ashioned ironclads with six inches ot
armor. What the building of these
ships really demonstrates is the tact
that the time has arrived when a vessel,
n order to curry armor enough to resist
tlie attack of a 109-ton gun, must be
made EO large as to be unable to enter
an ordinary harber; or, in other words,
must be an absurdly useless monBter.
The nculc German mind has already
perceived the folly of building impreg-
nable snips. The learned Professor I^oe-
weritluil hits become convinced that in-
stead of building ships which cannot be
pierced by the guns now in use, we
Bhould build ships which would offer
the least possible resistance to cannon
bulls. He claims that the frigate of the
future will be so constructed that the
balls of the enemy will pass directly
through her without inflicting any dam-
age, and that she will attack her enemy,
not with guns, but with torpedoes.
Herr Lbewenthal selects for the ma-
terial of his newly-invented war vessel
India-rubber of one foot in thickness.
The whole hull is to be made of India
rubber, strengthened below the water-
line with a light steel frame. The ves-
sel will be driven by an ordinary -steam
engine, and will have no masts. At the
bow will he a projecting spar, to which
torpedoes will be affixed, and the en-
lire crew, including the helmsman, will
be on the lower deck, out of the range
of shot. When a cannon ball strikes
the India rubber ship, it will pass
directly through it above tho heads of
tlie crew, and the hole made by it will
inetnnlly close. Faying no attention to
siuth futile attacks, the indiu rubber
vessel will Btoam toward her adversary
and explode her torpedo. The doomed
vessel will instantly sink, while her
clastic destroyer will be driven hun-
dreds of yards backward by the recoil
following tho exp losion. Such a vessel,
says the inventor, could easily destroy
all the navies of tho world, and aftor
her work was done she could be made
as strong as ever with the aid of two or
three bottles of cement.
Nnvnl Fights
From a naval officer of great age we
have the followini! anecdotes, never be-
fore published, of our first great sea-
fights and of the amenities between the
opposing officers. They throw a curi-
ously human gleam upon a human chap-
ter in history which we generally regard
as altogether dark and savage.
In the early part of the war, the
American f.igate United States and the
English Macedonia were anchored near
each other, and the captains, Garden
and Decatur, often exchanged friendly
visitB. The English frigate carried
oigliteen-pounders.the American twen-
ty-four pounders, and the officera daily
argued as to the relative advi>'itiges of
the ordnance carried by tbeirvessels.
" If I fired into you, I should blow
you to pieces, Carden," said the Ameri-
can.
"No. for I could fire my light guns
twice as fast as you can your heavier
ones," was the reply. Six months later,
they actually did flgiit. As the defeated
Englishman stepped on board of the
United States,he called out: " You see
you were right, Decatur! But'what
will they say at homeP I am the first
man to strike the English flag."
'" No; Dacres is defeated."
"Daeres! The Guerriere!" waving
his arms likea boy. " Then I'mnoUhe
first!"
An officer from Newburyport was a
prisoner on the Guerriere when she met
the Constitution. When the fikht be-
gan, he said, "I'll go below." Captain
Dacres heard him.
" No fear," he said. " Tho Yankees
will not hit us."
The Constitution was so long in open-
ing fire thst the Yankee prisoner
thought Dacrcs was right. " But when
she began," he says, " the Guerriere
shook like an aspen leaf. In thirty
minutes the fight was over."
Commodore Reid, sti'l living, was
then a lieutenant, and was scnton board
the captured vessel.
" Have you struck, sir?", Ue said to
the first officer he met.
" Yes. We had no mast nor flag to
haul down.''

iJsoot Gold. <
A writer in the Boston Economist
groups a few of the interesting facto re-
specting gold as follows: i
From the earliest times to the com-
mencement of the Christian tra, the
amount of gold obtained, from the sur-
face and mines of the earth was $1,400,-
000,000; from the .date of the latter
event to the discovery of America $3,-
900,000,000 were obtained; from the date
of the latter event to the close of 1843
$2,7O0,OO»;O0O were obtained; the exten-
sive working of the Kuaaian mines in
1643 added, to the close of 1848, |900,-
000.000 more; the triple discovery of the
California mines in 184H, the Australian
in 1851, and the New Zealand in 1861,
added to the cloBe of 1879 85,300,000,-
000; making a grand total of $14,000,000,-
000. The average loss by abrasion of coin
is estimated to be a twentieth part of one
per cent, per annum; sjxi the loss by
consumption in the nrta and by fire and
shipwreck, at $3,000,000 per annum. A
cubic inch of eold is worth, at £3 17s
lOjd., or $18 96 per ounce, $193; a cubit
foot. $333,501; anil a cubic yard, 99,-
004f>08.
The amount of gold in existence at
thn commencement of the Christian era
was $487,000,000; at the period of the
discovery' of America it had diminished
to 857,000,000; after thtit event it gradu-
ally increased, and in 1600 it attained
to $105,060,000, in 1700, to $351,000,000;
in 1800, to $1,133,000,000; in 1853, to
$3,000,000,000; and at the present
time the amount of gold in existence
is estimntfd .to be $8,000,000,000,
which, if melted in to one mass,
could be contained In a cube of
twenty-nine feet. Of the amount now
in existence, $8,000,000,000 are estimated
to be in coin and bullion, $1,000,000,000
• in watches, and the remainder in p'atc,
jewelry, and ornaments.
The nnnunl report of gold at the com-
mencement of the Christian era was
JiOO.OOO; at tlie period of tho discovery
of Ainerirn it had diminished to $100,-
000; uftor that event it eradually in-
creased anri in16«0 it attained to $2,000,-
000; in 1700 to $5,000,000; in 1800 to
$I7,OhOOOO; in 1843 to $52,000,000;
in. 1850 to S 100.00(1.000; in 18(iO it at-
tained ils acinp, when it was $236 000,-
000; hut, in 1863 it diminished to $208,-
000 000 The additional supply from
New Znihimt lms not offset the partial
oxhnustion of the California and Aus-
tralian mines. Therefore, the produc-
tion of the present year will be below
$120,000,000. Three-fourths of the
amonnt of gold now in existence has
been obtained within the last thirty-
seven years.
Since 1702 to I ho present time, the gold
coinage ol the United States mint hap
amminli'd to 81,100,000,000, of which

A KlBBlup; Match.
At a party ot young people in Paris
conversation happened to turn on the
subject of kissing, and the question was
propounded who of the young men pres-
ent could boast or havingglvenor being
ablo to rive "bis girl 11 the most
kisses. Various were tho replies this
question called out. Finally a young
man and the. girl to whom he was be-
trothed bot forty dollars that they could
tlss 10,000 times in ton hours, provil-
ing they, would be (allowed take an do^
casional glass of wihe "between." Two
persons were appointed a committee to
count the number', of kisses, and tho
work bi'Kiiti. Dnrinii tho firsthoUrthoy
counted2,000 kisses. Duiicg the 6econd
hour the kisses were not nearly as
numerous, for tHo committee only
counted 1,000. After the third hour,
during which they managed to score
but 750, further operations were brought
to a sudden standstill. The lips of the
young man were seized with a cramp,
and he was carried off in a fainting con-
dition. The girl a few days later was
stricken with Drain fever, which nearly
carried her off. When tho people who
had won the bet demanded their money
the parents of the girl refused to pay her
share of it. The matter wafl then taken
to the courts, and there it was decided
tharthe bet must be paid.
Novelties of the fish Supply or Sun
Francisco.
It is estimated that to furnish the
markets of San Francisco with fish a
total of about 800 fishermen arc em-
ployed, who work in puigs ol from three
to ten, generally owning their own boats
and tackle. These boats ore of all sizes,
from the ordinary lowboat for the bay
and river !o the half bark for outside
fishing. The most profitable is the
salmon fishery, but in that con-
siderable capital is required for the
purchase, care, mending, etc., of nets.
Herring are caught in a net
smaller than that used for salmon, as
also codfish, Bhad, perch and numerous
other varieties of marketable fish. The
salmon come principally from iho Sacra-
mento river, the others from tlie bay,
San Joaquin river and the vicinity of
Monterey, Tomalis and Bodega. As
yet, the shad fishery is in its infancy,
the spawn placed in the Sacramento
and Truokee rivers recently not having
attained that size, with few exceptions,
sanctioned by law for itsenpture. Some
of the larger varieties of fish, salmon
excepted, are caught with the hook.
Lines are stretched, averaging seventy-
five feet in length, buoyed on
pieces of corkwood, to which
numberless hooks aro. attached, baited
fienerally with, minnows. These
are visited twice a day and tho catch
taken.- For the lobster fishing a sort of
bnsketi-about live feet high and two in
diameter, with a small opening at ihc
top, is employed. Into tlie opening the
lobBter crawls, and is caught in a trap.
The greater number of lobsters furnished
tho markets oonies from Santa Barbara.
Crabs arc caught with a net basket nt
different points off tlie shore rocks, and
shrimps with a small hand net drawn
through the surf. Our clams come from
the sandy beaches around Tomalcs,
and the coarse artioie known as Chi-
nese clams from Long Bridge. Mussels
nre similarly taken. Boys are generally
employed iu the shrimp, clam and mus-
sel business, who sell their catch at the
best prices they may obtain from the
different stall proprietors. The oyateiR
of our market, the only article in which
California is inferior to her Eastern sis-
ters, are found in tho bay, and torn oil'
tne submerged rocks by dredgers. Tho
Eastern article transplanted, has not as
yet shown that size so much desired,
and it Is beginning to be feit that, owing
to some cause not nsceri .ined, our bay
is not well fitted for their production.
However, if our oysters are inferior in
size they possess nn excellent flavor,
aud ure not surpassed by the Eastern
varieties for cooking purposes, especial ly
soups and stews.—San tYancisco Post.
How a Sultan was Murdered.
The New York Herald correspondent
al Cairo gives a history of the downfall
of Abdul Aziz and describes thfl mur-
der. Abdul Aziz, it appears, made sev-
eral attempts to escape and was contin-
ually threatening Hussein Aoni, who
had beon the foremost conspirator
upiinst him, so the hitler induced :\
({cook physician whom Abdul Aziz had
niitilc n pashufor rejieving him of a cur
buncle, together with a eunuch, to kill
the imprisoned sultun. The murder in
described as follows:
On the evening of .luiie 0 the two
:i»entsof Hussein Aoni rnlurt'd the |ml-
nce of Tchi'ragnn—one iifl'ccting the du-
ties of a physician the other returning
to Inn accustomed post. As late as two
u'rlock in the morning Ahdul Aziz re-
pe I It'll his mother's caresses, reproached
IHT for having been partly the cause of
IIIH full, denounced her and his voting
son, and paced violently up and down
his chamber. Finally, utterly prostrated
uiid worn out, he removed his coat only
and laid down—not on ti sofa, ;is has bee n
reported, but upon a Turkish bed.
When the ex-sultan was asleep the
eunuch entered the room, followed by
tin 1 physic.iin. The eunuch was pro-
vided with a sponge saturated with
chloroform, the odor of which was Htili
in the chamber the next day. When
the dootor eonsideied that Ahdul Aziz
was thoroughly under the influence of
chloroform he quickly rolled up the ex-
sultan's shirt sleeves iind e.ut the two
arteries. This done he placed the scis-
sors on tho floor, and the two acconu-.
plie.es disappeared. Abdul Aziz must
have afterward struggled against the
influence of the chloroform and loss of
blood, for when his mother afterward
entered the room hn was at the foot of
the bed, which, together with his own
body, wns bathed in blood. Tho story
of Abdul Aziz having in the course of
the night asked his mother for a pair of
scissors to cut his beard is a pure fabri-
cation. It was a political necessity to
at least furnish some plausible ground
for the belief tlmt a*suicide had occurred
instead of a murder. It is true that
Abdul Aziz had been in the habit of
trimming his beard himself, and usually
carried a pair of scissors about his per-
son, and would often play with them
while engaged in conversation. This
fact doubtless suggested the role which
the scissors have played in the matter.
Mr. Dudley A. Sargent, director of
the Harvard gymnasium, ssya that of
the large number of students he bae
already examined at least one-half suffer
to a considerable and, in many cases, an
alarming extent, from palpitation and
other affections of the heart, caused by
! excessive cigarette smoking and drink-
'< ingBtrongcotlee.

rnflumec in bringing about the defeat,
but by fnr the larg«r number of ualomt
against tlie levying of the tajr were
ctitit for the aforesaid reason. Thus,
while it i» highly improbable that the
t'oiiimiasionerp would have expended the
money other tliuu for the purchase of
tlie hand-brake migiiieH and hose, the
jieculiar wording of the ballots gave
them power to do no, and this was without
doubt the cause of the defeat of tlie
uiffitnire.

intelligent and good citizen of the county,
lliat this law is ample in its scope nnd
jiut in its requirements. Tho rapid
growth of Uoninouth county in population,
and the frequency of visits from
"'rangers, should alone be sufficient to
excite our pride and urge UB to keep iu
prime order those improvements which
am likdy to refect credit upon us. If,
however, our «n»c of pride will not stir
u* in the premises, we should certainly
do our duty in the execution of a law of
the State, which has for its object, the
«ood of the people at large.
The point we wish to make is Out in
man}- places of the county this kuv has
lieeii either entirely disregarded or ntter
havhig been complied with at the time
of its going into effect, has been allowed
to be violated by neglecting to keep I
them in proper" condition. Recently, in j
traveling through the country, we were I
astonished at the dilapidation uf these !
KtiiilH pouts; in some casea the posts only |
remained while in other*, only half of I
tlie guide boards were up. The law j
clearly places the responsibility upon !
Tmviialii|) Coinmitli-es. who should act ]
at once.—Inquirer.
The premises of Mr. C. W. Hendriiknon,
opposite the Pennsylvania milroad
depot, were entered by a thief on Suntliiy
morning. About th ree o'clock lire. Hen-
.drickaon was awakened by hearing a
noise, and arousing her husband and son,
the latter two cautiously made a reconnuiftanee
about the premises, when they
•lucnvered a thief in tlie bhed adjoining
the rear of the house, who was preparing
to carry on" some smoked meat stored
tliete. Mr. T. Mulhollaud, Mr. A. S.
Jjyonn, aud onn or two other neighbors
wm culled, gnd with thoir assistance
tKe thief was captured. He gave. Ins
ntypt M Juines McCall. He was taken
Wale Squire Lawrence, who committed
lunj to tho county jail. McCall, it is
ntf|ed, -while being convejed. to the
Jiklice'b office, used threatening Iangi^nep
toward* aoine of hia enptord, atating
be " would be even with them," etc.
H Valno stated that a wagon, containing
tWQ men, was seen in the vicinity of
the depot about the tune of the arrest,
Indicating that there were several conoemed
