Da5@ The New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser of yesterday has the following:
We are informed that on Sunday
night, about 1912 o'clock, the shock of
an earthquake was very distinctly felt
at Elizabeth, N. j. There was no noise
or explosion accompanying it, but the
heaying of the earth, like the swell of
the sea, was quite perceptible. There
were four distinct shocks, each lasting
about five seconds. In the interval, q
resident of Elizabeth lifted the window,
and looked out, but could discover no
cause for the mysterious rocking.
Chairs, tables, beds, and every article
of furniture swayed to and fro as though
they were on shipboard. The distur-
bance was observed and discussed by
several.
We will have to go from home for
the latest news. We have made inquiry,
but can hear of nothing in regard to
the g earthquake which was very dis
tinctly felt" Some one has either been
drawing very largely on his imagina-
ton or else the Advertiser has allowed
itself to be imposed upon.

A BEE FUNERAL-A correspondent
of an English paper says: "Whilst
walking with friend in garden near
Faikirk, we observed two bees issuing
from one of the hives bearing between
them the body of defunct comrade.
We followed them closely, and noted
the care with which they selected a
convenient hole at the side of a gravel
walk-the tenderness with which they
committed the body, with its
head downwards, to the earth-and the
solcitude with which they afterwards
pushed against it two little stones,
doubtless in memoriam. Their task
being ended, they paused for about
minute, perhaps to drop over the grave
of their friend sympathizing tear when

gsatp The Central Railroad Company
have recently had made at Springfield,
Mass, no less than A passenger cars
"a of them being intended for the new
branch road between Newark and New
York. Each car costs over $500, and
are considered not only more conven-
lent but more commodious and com
Portable. The process of ventilation is
admirable and simple, while sufficient
light is readily admitted or arranged by
day or by night. Closets are arranged
in each car containing a marble top
wash-stand, and a bureau filled with
towels. We yesterday by invitation of
Major Hopper, conductor, visited one
of the new cars, and were struck with
their uniform beauty and the desirable
ness of their appointments. a
The interior of the cars on the New
ark and New York Railroad are grained
in black walnutand oak. Those on the
Central are black walnut and maple
the whole affording fine contrast.
The Major informs us that the new
cars are pleasant to ride in, and are
generally admired. ~

aeA- Game this year is very scarce
we are informed by sportsmen. Not
many years ago the forests and fields
of New Jersey were well stocked with
quail, cartridges, and woodcock, and
the huntsman could have day of real
sport. But now these beautiful birds
no longer constantly rise in whirring
covies at almost every step, or litter
and scratch in busy activity in every
buckwheat patch, OF rustic in sunny
hooks among the fallen forest leaves.
Whenever these birds are now encoun-
tered they are found in the widest and
most inaccessible places, solitary or in
very small focks, and as wild as the
pigeon hawk. Still there are ruthless
and cruel louis who eagerly prowl the
woods in search of the few poor, har-
rassed remnants of the once numerous
focks, and unless these fellows are stop
ped, game will become entirely extinct
in New Jesey In some counties we
observe that the sportmen have mutual
ly agreed to lay aside their guns for
few years and give the decimated game
time to recuperate This is a good move
and we hope it will become general
throughout the State.

A Fuss in the Ea mily.

The Logan Gazette, Democrat.
ic paper, refuses to swallow the New
York ticket. The editor, Mr., Hub
bard, is the Democratic candidate
for Secretary Of State, and his re-
fractory conduct causes tho De-
mocracy to kick violently. The
Marion Democratic Mirror Of last
week, gives said Hubbard the fol-
lowing slap over the ears;
The editor of the Logan Gazette
finds it hard work TO support the
ticket nominated at Now York,
offers Seymour and the ticket an
insult, and intimates that money
was tho controlling influence which
governed tho action of the Con-
vention. This fellow Hubbard, by
some mishap is at the head of tho
Democratic ticket of Ohio, as.
a candidate for Secretary Of
State. If he cannot heartily
support the nominees Of the
New York Convention he ought 10
resign his position, and if ho per-
sists in giving aid and comfort to
the enemy as he has been doing
in his paper, the Democratic Cen
trail Committee of Ohio ought TO
declare his place vacant and'put in
some good sound Democrat on tho
ticket. II no cannot support Sey-
mour and Blair the friends Of these
gentlemen ought not to bc forced
to support him.

Frank Blair, in a speech in 1860,
declared that "the Democratic par
ty was the most miserable and
corrupt party in existence" Now
in his letter accepting the rebel
copperhead nomination for Vice
President, he declares that the op-
position to the Democratic party
has always been struggle ola
few men to absorb the political hon
ors of the nation" In his new
born zeal for the restoration to
power of the Southern rebels and
the "few men" in the North who
aided in tho rebellion, Frank ought
not to lose sight of his record when
he was, or pretended to be, a ram
pant "blnck abolitionist."

SELLING A WHITE WIFE FOR THREE
HUNDRED DoLLARs.-The Milwaukee Sen
tinel, says some years since couple emf
grated to this city from Germany. In due
course of time they were blessed by n couple
of children, that have grown up to be re-
spectively six and eight years of age. Some
time ago the wife and mother met an old
flame from Germany. With sight of his
face the old passion was revived and she was
head over heels in love with him. Nor was
her passion unreciprocated, for he soon avow-
ed as fervent love for her. He proposed
that she should desert her lawful husband
and 20 with him, but this she refused to do,
declaring that she would adjust matters
She at once went to her husband and told
him the condition of affairs, and asked him
on what conditions he would part with her,
avowing her passion for her old lover. She
said that she did not propose to treat him
shabbily, but wanted him to be satisfied with
whatever arrangements was made. The
husband was not very much taken aback,
but was unwilling to give up his legal claim
to his wife without some pecuniary consider
alton. He named $500 as the price for
which he would surrender her. The lover
was called in and consultation held Both
he and the wife thought the price too high.
:. They thought half the money fair price /;
but the husband was not satisfied. At last,
however, he agreed to take $500 for his title
to the woman. The price was paid bill
of sale" made out and duly signed by all
parties, by which the husband agrees to
