A MAN who had the promise of a
large and elegant mansion, in the CEN
tire OF the city, rent free, yesterday en-
tered the agents Office and declared that
if the owner could not afford to be more

FIRE IN THE SECOND WARD.

The moulding shop attached to d. L.
Towers malleable grey iron foundry
corner of Bond and First streets, was
discovered to be on fire at half past six
o'clock last evening. The alarm was
promptly given, and responded to by
the firemen, who did all in their power
to extinguish the flames, but the fire had
gained such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to save the building, which was of
frame, and it was therefore totally de-
stroyed. The adjoining buildings were
saved from destruction.
The loss will foot up to several thou
sand dollars, but no one on the ground
this morning could tell whether the
building was insured or not
The building belonged to Mr.. Nc
Farland. of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Tower will reach this city to-day.

Sir The Postmaster General has
this day discontinued the post office of
Elizabethport, in the county of Union,

and it becomes your duty to open, de-
liver, and account for the mails adj
dressed to the late office.
Very respectfully your obedient SER
want, j. W. MARSHALL,
First Assist. Postmaster Gen.
Postmaster Harris would, in conse-
quence of this additional increase of bu-
siness in the Elizabeth post Office, and
the greater work in collecting and deliv-
ering letters by the carriers, suggest to
the public generally, and to the citizens
of the lower wards in particular, that
they use the lamp post letter boxes as
much as convenient, for mailing their
letters that they have their letters di-
rected to the street and number of the
house in which they live or do business;
never to send money or anything valua-
BILE through the mails except by money
order or regi tered letter. The post Of
flee is open from a. m. to p. m. for
money order and register business that
as many as can, provide letter boxes at
their Offices or residences, to facilitate
the delivery of mail matter by the car.
riers to see that every letter they send
has the full name and address of the
writer on the outside Of the envelope, so
that it may be returned in case the par
ty to whom it is directed. cannot be
found ; to see that every letter thrust in
to the lamp post boxes falls to the bot
tom, and does not stick in the entrance;
that if there are any complaints to be
made about any post office business,
that it be made to the postmaster HIM
self, in person, or in writing.

Those who propose to go down and
lick the Spanialds out of their boots,
will do well to attend divine service to-
morrow. 1t is an awful thing to stand
up squarely in front of battery, from
which are hurled deadly missiles. At
such time, it is hardly, necessary to
observe, there is but little opportunity
for serious meditation, or fervent pray
er. Better attend to the momeptous
interests of the soul which gracious in
fuences are your privilege.

A BRIGHT morning induced the "early

ter breakfast. So they went to their
places of business with lively steps and

necessity may soon require the presence
of beloved ones on wars encrimsoned

THE Newark evening papers usually
have the latest Geographic news, from
all parts of the world, while the Eliza

particulars of the funeral services of one
of New Jerseys illustrious sons, while
the news was telegraphed to THE MoNI-
TOR, and through its columns made
known in all parts of the city before the
interment actually took place.

MANY tax payers insist that our po-
licemen are paid large sums for which
they render but little service. Facts
are constantly coming to light which
confirm the charges that they are very
inefficient. 1t is now stated that a
quantity of coal, almost enough, in
fact, to stock small yard, has been
stolen The next thing we shall hear
of in this line, will probably be that the
coal dealers dwelling has disappeared
between two days. If there is not more
emery displayed by the policemen, bet
ter pay them off, and give them chance
to do their sleeping at home.
