The Search fer the Pelarts By the II.
greS8.

The Secretary Of the Navy has not purchased
the Tigress, as has been printed, but has merely
leased the ship for term Of months, to perform
Q specific duty. When the department fully
determined TO search for tie Polaris, IL became
evident that We had no vessel In our navy suit
ed for trip to the Arctic regions. The Secre-
tary concluded first 70 purchase q suitable YES
sci, when he was met with the objection that
there was no appropriation available for such a
purpose. Negotiations were subsequently, en-
tered into with the owners of the English seal
ship Tigress, to lease her 20 the United States
for specified sum, not yet made public. The
terms were accepted, and she Ia now en rOEte TO
New York, where she is expected 70 arrive next
Tuesday. Upon the arrival OF the vessel at
that port she will be thoroughly inspected BY
competent naval constructors, already ordered
to report for that service, and any additional
strengthening precautions deemed necessary
will be made. To-day Commander James A.
Greer, who has been for some time professor Of
seamanship at the naval academy, leaves under
orders for New York, TO DIT out the expedition.
Lieut. Commander White has been detailed as
executive officer, Assistant Engineer Melville
as chief engineer, and Lieut.. George r. wilkins
TO duty with the expedition. II In the intention
of the Navy department to use the utmost ce-
lerity in the preparations for the search, and IL
is expected the Tigress will be ready to sail on
the 4th Of July, at the latest.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. - Early OH last SUM-

driving near Canada Hill, his horse became
frightened by dog, and started Off BY
some means the lines were jerlSed from the
Doctors hands, and while stepping on the
swisgle-tree to regain them the horse began
to kick. He was struck ON the side, thrown
on the shafts and fell under the wheels of the
wagon, and was very badly bruised about the
body and head and his ankle was spraned.
1t was at first feared that he was seriously
injured internally, but we are glad to state
that he is now able to be out again, although
the sprain will prevent him from walking for
some time.

forced open the door. The robber assembled

ransacked bureau and wardrobe, but did not
succeed in securing any other plumber than a

rs The picnic of the Solebury public
schools, referred to recently, is to be held at
the Beaumont deer park, on Saturday, the
18th instant This will be the first occasion
of the kind ever held in Solebury, and promi-
SEES to be a very successful one. The InteI'i-
qencer says there are twelve public schools in
the township, and it is probable that all will
be fully represented. 1t is expected that the
parents and friends of education, as well as
the children, will be in attendance. The
exercises as arranged will consist of class
drills, essays, Rotations, &c. There will be
a spelling match for pupils above IL years,
and one for those below that age. Prizes will
be awarded to the two schools furnishing the
best specimens Of penmanship; to the two
showing the greatest improvement in writing;
to the two having the best percentage of atten-
dance every day of the whole number enrolled;
and to the school furnishing the best display
of drawings. The park affords excellent ac-
computations, and the occasion will be most
attractive one,

cB One day last week, canal boat heavily
laden with coal, came in contact with sharp
rock in the bottom of the canal, when oppo-
site the Goat Hill quarries short distance
below this city, which stove hole in her bot
tom, when she sank. The next day number
of hands and small steamboat with large
pump, run by her engine, made their appear
ance. The men threw out the coal into a
couple of flats along side, while the steam
pump proceeded to relieve the sunken boat of
it's water, which it did in very short time.
The hole was soon mended by canvas saturat-
ed with melted talluw, upon which were placed
boards strongly nailed to the adjacent timbers
and caulked the cargo of tile boat was re-
placed, and the boat proceeded on her voyage.
The steamboat alluded to above, was a curl
osity in her line She was propeller of a
long and narrow build, and very sharp. The
boiler and machinery occupied all the inside
space. The popularity of her shape suggests
speed, and enables her to get into narrow
places between two boats, or between sunken
boat and the adjacent bank. The one now in
process of construction at GOWNS shops, we
understand, is on the same model. They are
intended for use ON the canal especially for the
relief of sunken boats, for which they are GER
tainly well adapted.

BUTTER-There is a practice which is
general with our storekeepers which ought to
be corrected. We refer to the paying of a
uniform price for butter, whether it is good
or Indifferent. There is no reason why poor
butter should be paid for at the same rate as
the best article. In Trenton, Pennington and
most other places, we are told, the butter is
graded and paid for according to quality.
This is an inducement for people to make the
best butter possible but as long as there is
uniformity in price, we may expect to have a
preponderance of the rancid and soft stuff fit
only for wheel grease, and perhaps not for
that.

AMwELL MILLS CoMPANY.--The annual
Mills [Cotton] Company, was held IN Lyceun
Hall, June 3d. 1873. The Directors reported
that the net profits in the business had moi
been so great for the past, as for the previous
year, yet the profits were nearly the same de-
Quoting from the expenditures the amount
paid for commissions on sales of bonds. Ow-
ing to ice and low water in the months of De-
cember and January, they were unable to turn
koff more than half the usual production, in
consequence of which, the mill was run at a
loss, as also in the month of March, which re-
suit necessarily follows aftera months stop
page, as was the case during February. They
stated that they had the engine house nearly
completed, and that the engine and boiler
were finished ready for setting, which they in
tend having done at once, so that in case of
low water in the future, they will be prepared
to keep their machinery running up to speed.
The Superintendent estimated the loss by
stoppage and low water, during the time the
mill had been In operation, to be sixty thou
sand dollars, exclusive of damage to the repu-
tation of their goods, which could not well be
computed, as besides the actual deduction
made from the face of the bill, they were liable
to lose valuable customers.
The Secretary stated that the capacity of
the mill could be doubled at an expense of
about sos, 000-about two-thirds of the cost of
the present factory-and that the expenses of
running the additional machinery would not
by any means equal that of the present mill.
By this increase, therefore, handsome divi-
dend could be earned, besides laying aside
sufficient sinking fund for replacing WORKOUT
machinery, &c.
the following Board of Directors was elect
ed samuel johnson, Joseph Smith, L. M.
Whillden, John Groman, j. Hayhurst Jos. J.
Frazer and Clark Pierson.
The Directors elected Jos. Smith, President;
j. J. Frazer, Secretary, Treasurer and Super
intendent and Jos. Smith, John Groman and
J. ]. Frazer, Executive Committee.
