1IR. EpIToR.:. There was considerable cx
element in Pennington to-day on The aITiva
of the Lambertville train, and the question
was What Is IL? That there was to be a show
of some kind was quite evident, although the
strange part of it was that there had been no
announcement by handbills or otherwise of
this arrival extraordinary. Some thought it
was the Professor with his trained circus, that
you have been SO generous to as to give so
much gratituous putting Tho people could
not exactly make up their minds as to what
it was all about. but somehow they seemed to
that strange tribe, which we have lately
heard has captured Lambertville. 1t was
soon discovered that many of the new arri-
walls must be members Of this tribe. A friend
whispered in my ear a profound secret as TO
how you could tell, B, Now, Mr.. Editor, / win
ten yos,, but yots n,ust not sayauything about
it. The secret was that unlike other tribes,
they do not punt all over, but paint their
noses, and you have no idea how beautifully
they succeed in rrddening their nasal tips.
They must have some excellent paint, because
itloolsed as if it would bear any amount Of
washing and still hold its color W IN. s.
Curiosity was soon satisfied as to the des-
tination of the strange visitors, for they made
a bee line-that is, those who could flor with
many the wide payements of Pennington
were entirely too narrow to enable them to
exhibit the true NIodoc style OF navigation
for certain places in Pennington and then
such pleading at the bar you never heard.
BY close observation soon found out another
of their secrets. Their pass word is this, In
reply to the question g What will you take %
the answer would be g Modoc Bisters.,'
Their signs are made by grasping a tumbler
(immoderately fulD and putting it up to an
open countenance Ia sucker and then gradu-
ally--no they it mighty quick they raise
their tumbler until the bottom is tho highest

was surprised to hear some thoughtlcss
people say that they were disguised with
some of their exhibitions during the day. To
be sure, they were very noisy and made use.
of good deal of profanity but the noise was
nothing but the Modoc ,car schoop, and the
profanity was nothing but the lnodoc mother
tongue, (f they even had any mothers). {
Some supposed that their advent had somc-
thing to do with the Grand Jury now sitting,
but that must be a mistake, as the two august
bodies were not brought face to face.
By the way, Mr. Editor, what can be brew
ing, as noticed two of the members of the
uncommon common council of Lambertville in
Pennington to-day. Are they after your
scalp? Beware the Modoc is on the war
path. Yours, &C., MusQuITo.

EXCITEMENT IN KINeHAM-DIscovERY
OF IRON ORE NEAR CENTREvILLE.--Consid
cradle excitement prevails in Buckingham
over the discovery in that valley of what is
supposed to be rich deposit Of iron ore. On
Tuesday last a party of gentlemen under the su
perintendence of practical miners from Edge
Hill Furnace began prospecting for ore on the
farm Of Augustus Cox, located on the Old
York Road between Bushington and Centre
vile. On Wednesday when shaft had been
sunk to the depth of eleven feet, vein of
most excellent ore was struck. When our in
formant left the vein had been penetrated to
depth of eleven feet, and at that time gave
no sign Of being exhausted. The ore taken
out is pronounced by good judges to be of
first-class qualty--much better than that now
used at Edge Hill-and is found in such guam
titles that lump weighing over four hundred
pounds was taken from the mine at one time.
The gentlemen who have made this discovery
gave it as their opinion that there is an almost
inexhaustible deposit Of good iron ore in the
buckingham valley. The Bethlehem Iron
Company has already leased the lands of Mr..
Cox. What the ultimate result of this dis
covery will be-should the ore prove to exist
in any great quantity-it is now almost i'm
possible to tell.-Buchs Go. Mirror.

Us A smash-up, runaway, and upset.
took place about four o'clock on Sunday af-
ternoon last at the corner of Union and JEFF
ierson SITS. Two gentlemen in nice falling
top and driving spirited young horse, came
riding along Jefferson St., from Main to
Union, when just at the corner, by the M. e.
Church. the horse took fright at a pile of
Stones and turned short to the left, the carriage
colliding with the lamp post there, and in an
instant the left front wheel was reduced to
the diameter ola hub the two young men, with
cushions, whip, afghan, &c. were tossed out,
and away went horse, and disabled rigging
taking the back track towards Main ST., at a
pace utterly regardless of the ordinances reg
ulating the speed of vehicles through our
streets. Turning from Jefferson into Main
ST., their momentum was so great that car
rage and horse both landed upside down on
the east side of Main Street, where with some
difficulty the horse was captured and further
damage stayed. Fortunately the young men
were not much hurt, though bruised face
marked one of them as he hurried in
the direction of the flying horse.

On motion, the report was received and or
dered entered on the minutes.
Mr. Burnett moved that the resolution re-
speeding the grading. of East Swan street be
taken from the table.
Mr. Jos. Smith said he was opposed to the
city grading the street at present. 1t was a
heavy job and would cost heavily.
Mr. Burnett said Mr.. Mcdowell would grade
the greater part of the street, and other pro-
perty holders were anxious to get to work.
Only one (Mr Ely,) was opposed TO grading.
Mr.. Jos. Smith said he was in favor of the
property holders doing the work, but the
resolution bound the city to do it if the pro-
perty holders neglected SO to do.
Mr. johnson said resolution had been pub
lishedb by authority, requiring property holders
to grade, or the city would do it at their ex-
pense, and it was boys play to threaten and
not perform. Mr.. Ely had not refused to
grade.
Mr.. Jos. Smith said that if the city under
takes to do it and collect the expense Of the
property holders, it would be an endless job.
lie was satisfied the money could not be col
lected off of the property 1t should be done
sometime, but the city could not afford to do
it now.
Mr.. Burnett said it would be an endless job
if it were left much longer, as the street was
being washed out by the rains.
The motion to take off the table was carried
A to 3.
Mr.. Lucas moved its adoption.
Mr.. johnson said that any one standing OF
the new bridge and looking at the street ant
the improvements on the hill would say il
ought to be graded. 1t was due to those who
owned property on the hill and paid taxes
and as an encouragement to the growth of Thu
city.
Mr.. Jos. Smith said it was expected whel
4 the ordinance opening the street was passed
that the property holders should grade it. l
would be time enough for the city to do i
when parties living on the street come here ant
ask the council to it..
Mr.. Malone said that he had been informed
by Mr.. Mcdowell that every one owning pro
perty on the street was willing to grade, saw
one.
The resolution was lost to A.
The Street Commissioner reported bill o
expense on streets for August of $112S7.
