Hon. III. e. Newell and lady cele-
brated their tenth wedding day Tor
night on Thursday last About 100
lively souls called on them with pre-
sents Of tin in every variety. Tin cof-
fee-pots, tea-pots, horns, castors, head
dresses. hats, pitchers, knives and
forks, spoons, tone was 8 feet long,
called Gen. Butler; well the table of
presents reminded us of the patent Of
flee in Westinghouse contained
everything that eye has seen or mind
conceived There were a few formal
presentations, accompanied with re-
marks. NJ Updegraf handed Homer
tin hat of aspiring dimensions, a tin
shirt collar a la Clay style and splen-
did repeating watch about the size of a
spit-box and as noisy as flock of
school children when the boss is out
Tom spoke eloquently and the Senator
replied with the dignity of Cicero
and the mischief of "a. Ward"
Laughter was trunips and all of us had
hand. We never saw such a happy
tmess" of humanity. The collation.
was got up in the. most elegant and
palatable style and the attention to
guests added zest to the entertainment.
BY special request we reproduce few
words which will explain themselves.

crown ! for some years we have had a
coronal of brilliants or elegantly cut
glass jewels properly set in chain.
These jewels were attached to the base

light rather pretty. On presenting
this little appreciated nonsense the
writer hereof opened his mouth and

Mrs. Newell-Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ardson desire to tender you a tribute
of regard on this, your tenth marriage
day. Your arrival in this city as the
wife of our honored friend Homer
not the Homer of the Illiad or the
Siege of Troy, but far more useful
man in this progressive age than the
blind, gray-headed classic writer of
old-was celebrated by ball at the
| Chem American, now Evans House.

in the first dance. Ten years have
passed and, many of as yet survive to
congratulate you. Let us all be CRATE
full. Time has his terDaini in the dis
position ofevents-we must be content
with the arrival of his trains.
Let us-hope that a meeting similar
to this, will find us here in 1884, when
a Silver" brightness will gid your
table of compliments from friends.
g Presuming that you, in common
with other mortals, have not been
exempt from the cross of disappoint-
ment, we respectfully request, on this
occasion, to place upon your head,
the CROWN, of consolation. Its prin-
cipal part is Tin, most useful, plain,
and Indispensable metal: it is fringed
with sparkling briltidnts, thus making
the combination emblematice of the
domestic excellence, and the social
vivacity of our honored hostess.

FREEDOM OF THE RIvER.--One Of the North
river ferryboats ran into al ocean steamer
anchored in the stream, and the owners of the
ferryboat were sued for damages. Their
defence was that the steamer was anchored
directly in their course in crossing the river.
1t was decided that they had no exclusive
right to any course, and that if such defence
were admitted, then in the multitude of our
ferries q large portion of the river would be
practically closed to shipping, to the great
embarrassment of commerce. So the ferry
men find that ships have rights.
The New York herald., 1869-08-14

BUBBLE.-There was an age in which the
''bubble" was the grand means for men to
secure fortunes They made 80 many bubbles
that the real difficulty was what to name them
and what idea could be seized upon for organ
izing a company and issuing stock. There
was company organized in London once for
''making deal boards from sawdust" The
bubble age is not quite over. Not long since
men organized in this city joint stock com
tyranny, and issued their stock under the name
of ''Fenian bonds" The bonds sold we'll, and
now the managers of the affair are quarreling
in the courts over the custody of the money
Who shall have 1t?
The New York herald., 1869-08-14

TELEGRAMs IN COURT.-Once more private
kilograms have been paraded in court as part
of q legal investigation. This occurred in the
Susquehanna Railroad case. The theory is
that kilograms are not entitled TO privileged
secrecy, and that public morality is against
according them such privilege, that the tele-
graph may not assist in the commission of
crime. Practically how does this operate !?
If men want to use the telegraph for criminal
purpose they adopt the plan of using words in
some arbitrary sense known only to them
selves and so they keep their secret and the
rule of law is no help to justice, but only an
annoyance to innocent persons.
