POSTAL CARDs-A friend makes the fol-
lowing complaint about the abuse postal
cards are liable to. The printed caution
which he suggests might be of service,
though it is doubtful whether malicious
persons would forego an opportunity to
indulge their evil propensity. The leaf to
fold over the matter on the card was talk
ed of when the postal card was under con-
sideration by the Postoffice DEPARTING 1T;
but this addition would double the cost of
the card, and defeat its object. Postmas
tiers are ordered not to send cards through
the mail containing such matter as our
correspondent complains of; but on the
other hand, they are forbid reading the
message written on the card.
"To E. E. EWING, EsQ.-Permt me
to mention that You will do me and many
others favor, if you will caution .he read
ers Of postal cards against publishing affairs
upon them, which should be private. An
acquaintance of mine lately received a
card, bearing on it matter, which, while
not actionable, was of character to niure
his financial credit. Such things should
not be. The cards should fold over so as
to conceal the writing; or if not, cautions
against sending injurious matter should be
printed on them.'

BIG ELK BRIDGE.

Does Tile Democrat really mean that the
County Commissioners intend to attempt
building a bridge over Big Elk at the
Park Rolling Mill fording this season, or
are its encouraging words to "Viator :"
only intended as soothing syrup till the
day of election is past? Here is the month
of November and not stone laid or a clod
turned toward erecting the bridge Last
year-a month from the present time
everything was frozen up. Every lnechan-
ic knows, and in fact every man ought to
know, whether mechanic or not, that a
heavy stone wall, built in the Winter when
the mortar cannot dry, but is subject to
freezing and thawing, will not stand, but
crack and tumble down. Such a mortar
or cement wall is weaker than dry wall.
The abutments and wing walls of IA bridge,
if intended to stand, must be built in the
most substantial manner. 1t is plain that
such wall connot be built, and bridge
made ready for travel before Winter sets
in, and if the walls were even put up they
would be so rotten that they would nevi-
tably tumble down in short time. The
people of the Fourth District, near the Big
Elk, have long suffered for the convenience
Of good bridge, and it is painful to con-
template the inconvenience and danger of
putting through another Winter with these
evils aggravated But certainly no sane
man will expect the county to make a
heavy outlay in erecting bridge on abut-
ments built when the mortar will freeze
before it can dry, and insure a rotten,
crumbling wall. This encouraging prom
Use by TIE Democrat, that the bridge is to
be built forthwith, we are quite sure, was
only intended to keep its party in heart till
after the election. A bridge that would be
a permanent fixture can't possibly be built
before Winter; and substantial footway
should be erected without delay. Had the
Commissioners been men qualified for the
duties of the Office they attempt to admin
lister, in place of delaying and luffing and
filling, and trying to shift responsibilities,
they would have taken hold of the work
and had it well on toward completion.
We want board of County Commissioners
composed of such men as JAMES C. CRoTH-
ERs, THOMAS p. JONES, and WILLIAM T.
WEST, men who will take hold of import
ant business and put it through, and the
people a! determined to have such board
next year, thanks to their sober, practical
thinking. They have taken the bit in
their teeth and are about to run that old
Democratic one horse shay towel to the
bad.

Mr. Editor - Dear Sir.-l being property |
owner IN this city, am now about Offering 1t for
sale Induced exclusively upon the assessed value
of Real Estate, shall offer it at that price and do
not expect that any person would wish to puT-
caase for anything less. This conclusion Is plain
aud Ia as follows: Oar cItiz9ns have selected
membars Of Council from the different wards and
suppose for thsir superior skill and Judgement
also falr honorable dealing in the interests Of all
their constituents and In their organization. They
sslect from their respective body ten OF its mem
bsSs a q Board OF Revision, and in connection with
the two assessors, making in all twelve persons,
equal to q Jury in any part OF this country, who
exaaina and pass judgement upon the price OF
psrsona and properties, and in their deliberate In
vegtiwntlons (which includes weeks to perform
say they are worth so much; no one dare appeal.
IfthoV do they are Tidleuled, particularly by
ClouuciI. IL they chanOe TO approach to that body
with this view which in my opinion, should be
conclusive to all, and even speculative minds,
that there will be no trouble in finding purchas-
ers for not only mine bat others desiring TO sell.
Another view can be taken that might induce per-
sons 10 purchase real estate, and in few years be-
come wealthy The indebtedness Of the city IS
increasing largely as it has been doing for the
tag wears past, and as one OF the natural conse-
ouences, property must advance in value. Thai

to say that they will give fictitious value to land

could it be possible for the city fathers to comp'
the people to pay one and half per cent. as ta1

FROM the HnlAa0olphla LeQ9efs aug Us
In the Quarter Sessions yesterday, Judge Lud. |
low resumed jury trials. The first case taken mp
was that Of Patrick Kane, John Reardon, and Ed |
ward Gallagher, youths, who were charged with
assault and battery, aggravated assault and bat
terry, and assault and battery with intent TO main.
Gallagher pleaded guilty, but the other two de-
PENDANTS stood their trial 1t was alleged that on
the evening of July "a, the defendants, who re-
side in Manayunk, thew quantity of lime into
the passenger cars Of the Germantown branch OF
the reading Railroad Company, as the tram reach
/ ed the above mentioned place at half-past nine
Some of the lime entered the eyes OF Mr.. Wester-
man, also a resident of Manayunk, as was testl-
fed to l,y his neighbor, James Welsh, who was
| seated beside him In the car. Witness said that
from the effects of the lime Mr.. Westerman had
entirly lost the use of an eye-literally binding
him, and the other one was in imminent danger
also. When blinded Mr.. Westerman staggered
/ toward witness, when he saw the white plaster
in his eyes Witness did not see who fired the
lime.
The doctor who is attending Mr.. Westerman
said that he lost his sight from inflammation,
caused by the lime; that his other eye was gradu
ally getting better but the weather would moi
permit his attendance at court.
Johu Murray, youth from Manayunk, testified
: that he. knew the defendants, and remembered
the occurrence. They picked up two h0ndfuls o
l. lime each, saying, "COme boys, let's fire at thu
}, train," and, in spite of witness remonstranees
o they threw the lime in the window of the cars
n but witness did not see 1t strike anybody.
Mr.. Cassidy, for the prosecution, said that b
, did not wish TO press the case, and therefore,
q did not ask for convection on the last couu

H. cutors eyes, and therefore, under the testimon!
he would only in all sincerity ask for convctio
