The people of Wilmington, Delaware. have not
exactly set the river on fire, but have done the next
thing to it. They have lighted their city with gas

Under the old, and, until recently, obsolete Sab
bath law, the citizens Of Pittsburg, or a portion Of
them, have stopped the Sunday running Of the
cars Of the passenger railway. The law of the
State is stringent, and the Mayor of Pitts
burg appears to be impartial, for after the railway
nuisance was abated, he turned his attention to in-
dividual violators Of the law, and a few days since
caused the arrest of the coachman of Chief Justice
Lowrie, of the SupremeCourt, Rev. Dr.. Lyman, Pastor
of Trinity Church, and the Jehus of a number of
other leading citizens, who had driven their en-
~yloyers to church on ,he preceding Sabbath,
which act was as much a violation of the Sabbath
law, as was tie running of railway cars. The pen
atty for each violation of the Jaw Is S25. The
Chronicle, intimates that such proceedings will
cause many to oppose the law who before sustained
it. We should not wonder, for people are often
very tolerant of a law so long as it does not touch
their rights, but oppose it vigorously whenthey
feel the weight of its hand. 20. tEI

A law Of Massachusetts bearing date of 1888,
prescribes the manner of voting, and the punish
ment for depositing fraudulent ballots. A grain o!
Indian com was used to indicate choice, a bean
for the contrary. Any person, who put in more
than one grain of corn, or one bean, was d Judged,
on conviction to forfeit Gl0. We should not won
der if the defeated candidates and their friends,
Icing obliged to acknowledge the corn" had CIV
en- rise to this popular phraseology. In those
days we presume it might be affirmed of a very
popular c~adidatc, that "he didn't know beans.

The warm season which has just closed, appears
to have been very fatal to canine longevity in New
York City, no less than 9,6s2 dogs, and 387 pup
pies having been seized by the authorities and
sentenced to death-a few were reprieved, but mos
of them suffered the penalty. The city paid fol
catching them, SO cents a head for the dogs, and
25 cents for the pups. Their hides are manufac
tured into goat skins and what becomes of theiI
flesh does not certainly appear, but may be inferred
from the abundance Ct sausages, and the cheap.
ness of veal pies in that metropolis.
