about one hundred Divisions. Mr.. ID.

except one, and visited officially about
fifty Divisions Four fine halls have

him forty nine times The attendance
will probably be the largest That has
been held in many years. Officers will
be- elected for the ensuing year, and
other important business transacted. -
At one O'Clock, dinner will be prepar-
ed by the Divisions of Trenton, and in
the evening concert will be held.

MINISTER MCMAHON IN PARA
QUAY.

Our new minister to Paraguay seems
to have gone to work with the preci sion
and directness of soldier, and has al
ready accomplished enough to justify
the wisdom of his appointment. On
the Sd of December, escorted by por
ton of the South Atlantic fleet, he ar
rived at Augostura, and Immediately
communicated with President Lopez.
The result of his negotiations, or rather
demands, was that on the 11th instant
Messrs. Bliss and sherman, the mem
bers of Mr. Washburne's legation,
whose arbi trary arrest by Lopez was
the cause of trouble, were brought to
the flagship in ii native canoe. These
persons having been delivered to the
United States, Gen. McMaon made
preparations to land on the subsequent
day and present his credentials, but
the battle of the day prevented it. He
however, landed on the 18th, and was
received at the landing by several Off
GERS of President Lopez's staff, and
mounting his horse proceeded directly
TO Lopezs headquarters.
Admiral Davis reports that the mum
Der of iron clads i'll the Brazilian fleet
at present in the waters of Paraguay is
sixteen, including single and double
turreted monitors aud old casemated
vessels, mounting from one to eight
guns, and adds: ''On this occasion |
was treated with perfect eivility by the
Brazilian officers with whom | had in
tercourse, but was much annoyed at
finding myself constantly in the line OF
fire Of the belligerents, and would have
felt more comfortable had / been ac
companied by two of our double turret-
ed monitors
Gen McMahon's dispatches to Mr.
Seward are noteworthy as terse and
clear recapitulations of the events pre-
ceding and attending his arrival.

The Morristown Jerseyman says that
a few years ago strong indications OF
veins of black lead were found on the
farm of Mr.. Harris NJ. Day, close to
The farm lines of Mr.. Joseph and j..
Forbes Ballentine, about two miles
south of Mendham. Two years ago
Major Willis made contract with Mr..
Day to open mine, work it, and give
him fifty cents per ton for all ore raised.
The contract was disposed of to third
hands who sunk shaft last summer
about twenty feet deep, striking a vein
and taking out about two tons of small
Jumps, besides two Jumps weighing 212
pounds each, and two Jumps weighing
l12 pounds each. The ore is stated to
be worth $3.50 per ton. The company
not having made arrangements for
pumping out the water, have been
compelled to stop until spring, when
mining will be pushed with energy.
Silver ore has also been found in the
neighborhood. New Jersey is rich in
minerals.

last night to enter the house of Mr..

Henry. Before anything could be done
the burglar left in a hurry. In about
twenty minutes thereafter he returned.
