WASHINGTON PARK.-The County Board
of Supervisors have invited bids for the
clearing of Washington Park. The stumps
and roots to be all taken out and burnt.
This Park contains about five acres, and
when nicely improved and fenced, will add
much TO the already handsome appearance
of our town. The system of public improve
ment wisely carried out 10y the present
Board, is deserving Of much praise. 4
large amount OF sidewalks has been laid the
present season, and many streets and ave
nues opened up, thereby rendering travel
much more expeditions and comfortable,
and greatly enhancing the value of proper
ty in the locality where such improvements
were made. Tax payers need not grumble
ut a few cents additional tax, when their
lots are advanced twenty-five per cent. III

From New York.

Long Branch June "a. President Grant
and Fred Grant returned here this evening
from brief visit to Long Island
New York, June %. The four members of
the Methodist Book Concern voting against
the deposition of DR.. Lanahan from the as
sistant agency were Rev. Messrs. Pike Malt
by, Vernon and Slicer, the latter of whom
delivered an earnest argument against the
proposed action, denying that it was neither
just or expedient. Three of the charges were
voted on separately, first accusing DIR. Lana
han of appealing to the civil courts, being adj
mitted was sustained unanimously, and each
of the others by the same vote III to t. The
second charge accuses DIR. Lanahan of AFRO
eating official powers not accorded by any
authority of the church and taking proceed
ing in a temporal court which tend to scandal
ize the concern, while the third specifics the
disregard and contempt of authority of the
committee and agent of the concern, caus-
ing to be copied large portions of the books
and accounts of the concern, carrying the
copies away from the establishment and caus-
ing extracts from the copies and the pretended
results of their examination to be secretly
printed and threatening further legal proceed
ngs if his demands were not complied with
The majority of the committee state that their
action is based on the ground that they con-
stltute an executive rather than a judicial
body, that they express no opinion on the
truth of Lanahans charges against the man
agement of the book concern which they will
investigate in their own way, and more
thorough than he has; but the publicity and
pertinacity with which Lanahan has urged his
charges has made him worse than useless as
an employee and consequently they discharge
him. The minority however say that it is
unfair to punish a man for charging existence
of frauds which the committee are not now
prepared to deny and that at this stage of in
vestigation this is an arbitratory exercise of
power and does monstrous injustice to
man who has suffered for what he believes
the truth besides putting a premium on fu-
ture concealment. Much interest is now man
ifested in the action of three bishops who have
the final power in the case but who have yet
given no intimation of their decision.

DECORATION AT AUGUSTA.


DECORATION AT AUGUSTA.
No floral gift, here do / bring,
Tho sweetly bloom the flowers of spring;
But an humble Offering from my pen,
bring the noble dead.
Come, children dear, with blossoms fair
And gentle maids, with myrtle rare,
And with your friends your treasures share,
To decorate the dead.
Here sleep the valiant true and brave,
Who died our banner bright to save;
Oh let it ever DER them wave
The brave, the honored dead.
Some the battle field Were slain,
While some in prison long have lain
But a crown in heaven they all shall gain
The true, the glorious dead.
Then come with wrcaths for the sleeping dead,
For freedom they most nobly bled,
And DER their graves let tears be shed
For the iondly remembered dead.
There many graves in a southern land
Where no blossoms are streWn with friendly hard
Where gathers no kind and loving band,
Around the silent dead.
There, side by side, two brothers sleep,
While lonely sister here doth weep
Accept this tribute for their sake
The sWcctly cherished dead.
Then louder, louder swell the strain,
That speaks of liberty and fame;
Let not our banner wear a stain,
For the sake of our valiant dead.
