CLEAR Your PAvEMENTs.- We are inform
ed by Mr. r. Hammell, the Street Commits
sioner, that one of the duties of his Office is to
see that the sidewalks are kept clear Of snow,
&c. As this is made obligatory upon him by
ordinance, he intends TO enforce the municipal
laws and those who neglect to obey them,
may expect to be dealt with as the ordinances
direct. Certainly, no one can justly complain
of this. 1t is for the comfort of the people of
our city that the ordinances in relation to
clearing the sidewalks were passed, and if only
a portion of our people obey them, their adj
vantages are almost entirely lost. We believe
in a strict enforcement of all ordinances ; and
we therefore are glad to know that at least
one officer of our city knows his duty and does
not fear to perform it. 1t is farce to have
laws which are left to the option of people to
obey not.

We have received miserabiy spelled epistle
from one Charles Yardley, who pretends to
hail from Pittsburg, Pa, detailing, in an ig-
norant style, how he cured a cancer ON his
nose by the use of a plant which, no one could
find if they tried, and which if found, would be
of no use. He sends il, expecting evidently,
that it win be published as an item of public
welfare, and SO even tries to swindle the pub
fishers out Of the price of advertising, if they
would, under any circumstances, print it.
The whole thing is a most impudent swindle,
and was so denounced in the 4g1ericHB Agri-
csslturfst some time since. IF the scamp must
be noticed, let the craft give him such anotice
as he deserves -lHorristoWn Jerseynaan.
We notice that one of our county papers
has been deceived by this fellow. His scheme
is to get persons who cannot find the plant
(and nobody cam to write to him, when he
will offer to furnish it for a s'vauable con-
sideration." A man who will thus trifle with
the afflicted, deserves richly home behind
the iron CRATES

THE ''FLEET Wing - ENTERTAINMENTs.-

their title signifies, and were quite enjoyable
The attendance was large; so much so, that
on Thursday evening a hundred or more per-
sons could not obtain standing room.
The orchestra, under the leadership of Mr.
Henry Hunt, played better than we have ever
before heard them Masters Gallagher, Angel
and Pierson, of the s.Junior Quartette, y sang
very sweetly Messrs. W. II. Titus and Clas.
ii. Clarke were in good voice and sang their
songs in fine style; Mel Horn made a very
good Dutchman; Mr.. John Sproat played the
schoolmaster, including the rod, so well that
we should not like to be one of his scholars
unless, like Simmy Dip, we were 'iron-
clad - Mr.. VIM. Gordon made a first-rate
s'culled pusson, and created a great deal of
amusement "Sim Dipson' could not have
been done better than by Col. Angel. who also
made good conductor in the Operetta Mr.
JOS. Sproat performed his part in the "African
Dwarf" and g Buying an Elephant in the

M. L. Trimmer Esq, showed great deal of
coolness and daring in managing the huge
animal, and reflected credit on Barnum whom
he represented on the occasion; Vansciver was

worth the price of admission, while his
"Operetta was got up good style, and was
quite effective /; Mr.. Harry Barber represented
all-Wattya admirably, and showed quite
unusual compass of voice Messrs. Stockton
and Solliday performed duet on Mouth Har-
monicons, and made some very nice music
upon these simple toys; Charlie Reynolds
and Phil Gulick did exceedingly well in
their parts while Messrs. Green, Ramsey,
Zeigler and others, although having subordi-
nate parts, filled them with credit The
Cornet dnet by Messrs Conine and Sproat
is also deserving of mention as adding to the
interest and variety of the entertainment.

COPPER FouND.-Mr. Nathan Bird, fur
nishes the following account of the discovery
of copper in this county, to the Frenchtown
independent He says =
Last fall I made an examination Of one of
the hills opposite Point Pleasant, in Kingwood
township, NJ. found stone that contained
what is said to be iron, silver and copper, and
the first that Imeted got silvery looking
metal and | took it to Philadelphia and they
analyzed it and said it was the best of iron
I then got crucible and melted several lots,
and got coppery looking metal and some-
times white metal, that was malleable.
then sent some to Boston and they said it was
the best of copper with little other metal
Then in May last / sent some of the ore TO
Pittston, Pa, and about five months after
they informed me that it was worth 12 per
cent. copper and silver | have opened five
places on the property and found the same
metals, but the last place opened think is
the best. / found a white substance about
12 feet under gronnd, which when put in
water slacks up and looks like milk. 1t is
thought to be magnesia and the rock is of a
grey color and very full of bright specks, and
there is any quantity Of it. 1t only awaits
capital to develop this mine to make fine
thing for the country. / have lease on the
property for number of years, and all it
wants is capital and men who are not afraid
of tiihes. One Mr.. Marshall came to my place
last winter and got some of the ore and he
tried it, and he said it was the best copper he
ever saw, and told me he thought it might
run to silver. He is the man who discovered
the first gold in California, and is now work
ing the richest mine in the State.
