DISEASED LUNGS ARE GREATLY ON
AN INCREASE In THIS CouNTRY.-The
sudden changing of weather has done
much to give rise to Consumption. But
there are thousands of cases who bring
it on by their own imprudence-such as
wearing damp clothing, and going from
warm rooms into the cold air, and check
ing the perspiration, which causes irri-
tation of the Lungs, and then matter or
phlegm will collect, which nature will
try to relieve by coughing it up, to pre-
vent pustules from forming. If nature
does not raise the matter with ease, and
stop this inflammation, tubercles will
soon form, and Consumption will soon
follow. Aliens Lung Balsam will cure
and prevent thousands of cases of Con-
sumption if it is only taken in time.

On the 4th inst. James Cloonan, then living at

to go to Dutch Kilns L. l., for the purpose OF test

ing the ground the preliminaries were arranged
after which the dogs entered the pit; but before
the brutal contest commenced James Finlan and
his brother Patrick, who had money depending on
the result forced themselves in upon the dogs much
TO the disgust and annoyance Of Coonan, who re-
fused to allow the fight to proceed unless they lett
the pit. Many hard words ensued and in making
their exit 1t Is stated, James Fnan threatened to

in the fight, most of whom were OF a quarresome
disposition directing their spite particularly
against ClOOnan. An ugly alteration soon ensued,
and during fist fight that followed James Finlan,

plunged it into the LETT groin OF Cloonan At the

SING SING SLOPERS.

Extraordinary Efforts OF Two Convicts to

novel scheme for escaping from Sing Sing
Prison was employed last Friday morning
by two c0nvicts named respectively Edward
Hoyt and Charles Josephs, each Of whom is

Ing. These worthless, with the assistance
Of their confederates, cOntrived to secrete
themselves in two swill barrels which were filed
up with pieces Of bread and other refuse matter,

sufficient apertures for breathing purposes pre-
paratory to placing the loose covers on the bar

street some time, to point beyond the village,

prison. Here the driver, having entered store,
left his team unhitched in the street, when,

direction OF the village, however owing to the
convict's ignorance OF the neighborhood. Mean
time the alarm had been given at the prison, and
the warden, clerk and other officials were already
securing the village in vehicles and on foot. This
materially lessened the chances for escape OF the
fugitive driver and his companion in swill, for the
wagon had not proceeded far when it was espied
by one of the keepers, who managed to jump in and
seize Hoyt by the throat. Hearing the
swill barrel, burst the cover or and stood
bolt upright, presenting picture too ludcrous for
adequate description. Both men were taken back

experience in the swi line.

TAMPERINa WITH RAILROAD SWITCHES

Car Thrown OF the Track in Hoboken.
The switchmen employed on the Delaware and
Lackawanna railroad, in Hobosen, have been re-
peatedly annoyed by mschiev5us gang of boys
who amuse themselves either by jumping on the
cars to steal ride or by experimenting on the
switches In this way many accidents have occurred
Yesterday. John Murphy, swtchman, had his at
tention diverted for few moments from his
switch, as no trains were due, and in
this interval youth named Nicholas Steitz changed
the switch. After a short time q locomotive backed
up, drilling some cars, and the foremost car was
thrown from the track. IL was only then that the
discovery was made that the switch had been
moved. Fortunately the engine was stopped be-
fore second car was thrown OF. Had passenger
train swept by I'm such o case frightful disaster
would probably have been the result. Stetz was
arrested and taken to the HobOken police station to
await examination.

case OF some interest to banking corporations
concluded in the Mercer County Court, at Tren-
ton before Judge Scudder and struck jury, on
Friday, after occupying the attention Of the Court
four days. The case was Titus and Scud-
der vs.. the Mechanics National Bank, Of Treh-
ton; but the Commonwealth Bank, OF New
York. was the actual defendant. The suit was to
recover the value OF two checks Of S. 1874 each,
drawn by q. Lewis, in New York; In August, 1869, in
favor OF W. b. Titus, OF Trenton. The checks were
paid into the Trenton Bank and accepted as cash.
They were sent by the Trenton Bank to the Com
fnonweath Bank, of New York, for collection, and
1t was alleged by plaintiffs that through negli-
gence In presentatiOn-that is by delay, the
notary being paid to hold over a little while
the checks were made valueless. Farnham, q
notary, testified that he might have received
$50 in all from Lewis for holding over for short
time his checks. Lewis failed just about the time
the checks were presented; but the day the
Farnham check should have been presented
1t was proved that Lewis had money enough
in the bank OF Harvey Seare to have
met the check The second check was held to have
been properly presented. The jury went out at
three O'Clock on Friday afternoon and did not give
their verdict until yesterday morning at ten
O'Clock. 1t was In favor of plantiifs for the Farm
ham check, with interest for three years, three
months and three days.
