sTROUDsBURG, MONROE COUNTY, PA, SEPTEMBER 4 1873

All the minor details are at
tended to with as much care as
those Of greater Importance. Brass belay
ing elects are to be furnished, copper
stem and scag band will be added, aud a
number of patent life preservers placed in
the cabin. The apparatus for detaching
the boat from the balloon is of the most
perfect character The great aim of the
Graphic Company and the builders has
been to secure boat which would live
in any sea, and which woald at the same
time be SO light as to present no him
drance to the balloon. In this they have
been entirely successful; the boat. when
flushed, with all her spars and sails, will
only weigh seven hundred pounds.
Should it by any unforeseen chance be
necessary Tor the voyagers to take to the
life boat in mid ocean, is it possible for so
small vessel to reach land ? This ques
ton can be easily answered by refer
ence to the exploit Of the Red, White and
Blue. This daring little craft, which is
just three and half feet longer than the
balloon boat, sailed from New York for
Paris on the 9th of July, 1866, and arrived
in London, England, on the 10th of Au
east, making the passage in the shor:
space of thirty eight days. The crew con
sisted of two men, Captain John NJ. Hud
son and Frank Fitch, both of who mwere
old and experienced navigators. During
the voyage succession Of head winds
and strong gales were encountered at all
times. However. the little ship behaved
admirably, and though from stress of
weather she was no less than four times
thrown on her beam ends with masts in
the waves, each time she righted, and
throwing the water from her decks, again
sped in safety on her way Graphic.

New Mode of Producing Gas.

One of the most recent inventions for
producing Illuminating gas is that known
as the Kromschroder process, lust appli.
ed, successfully. in the town of Great
NARROW. England. 1t consists in simply
passing air through the vapor of light
hydrocarbon, the two combining in gas
OF high Illuminating power. The ap-
paratus for this purpose is erected in the
gas works of the town, and consists of
sheet iron chamber FIVE feet long. four
feet wide and three feet six inches high,
the lower portion being two feet wider
than the upper part for height of about
twelve inches In the upper chamber
Is placed a valve arrangement driven by
cIock-work, and by which the atmos-
pheric air is forced into the lower or en-
larged portion. Here it is made to pass
through mass of open fbrous material,
the lower part of which is ket immersed
in liquid hydrocarbon. The air in its
passage combines with the vapor of the
hydrocarbon In the proportion of seventy
parts OF air to thirty of the vapor. In
this condition the gas-for such it has
now becomes conducted from the ming
ling chamber by pipe into a receiver,
capable of containing one hundred cubic
feet of the gas. AS soon as their receiver
is filled, its contents are discharged into
the gas holder formerly used for the stor-
age of coal gass. The intermediate re-
ceiver is used because the Incorporating
apparatus, although equal to producing
the required quantity of gas, does not
give sufficient pressure to lift the large
holder, which is thirty feet in diameter

Kissing in Church.

A Columbia, Pa, clergyman, while
preaching his sermon one Sunday even
ing, perceived a young man and woman
under the gallery in the act of kissing
each other BEND hymn book, but did
rot lose his temper. He did not fly into
an unseemly rage, and called upon the
sexton to rush up the aisle and disband
the rioters. No he remained calm. He
beamed mildly at the offenders over his
spectacles, and when the young man kiss
ed her the fifteenth time, he merely bI oke
his sermon short off in the middle of
thirdly" and offered fervent prayer in
behalf of 1.-THE young man in the pink

man sat there and swore softly to himself.

Instinct Of Ants.

An observer of the habits and instinct
of ants relates that vase on the mantle
shelf in his sitting room. which was usu-
ally filled with fresh violets, was haunted
by very small red ants The insects is
sued from hole in the wall above, and
gradually increased in number until they
formed an almost uubroken procession -
He brushed them to the floor for several
days, but, as they were not killed, the re-
suit was that they formed colony In the
wall at the base of the mantel, and, as
cending thence to the shelf, the race was
soon attacked from above and below.
Zone day." says the writer, 81 observ-
ed number of ants, perhaps thirty or
forty, on the shelf at the foot of the vase.
Thinking to kill them, struck them
lightly with the end of my finger, killing
some and disabling the rest. The effect
of this was immediate and unexpected
As soon as the living arrived near where
their fellows lag dead and suffering, they
turned aud fed with all possible haste
La half an hour the wall above the man
tel shelf was cleared"

A Camp Meeting Incident.

In connection with the PROCESS of the
camp meeting of the NJ. f. Church as
Chester Heights, the West Chester Re
publican relates the following incident ::
In connection with one Of these lots,
last week an incident occurred which the
owner is disposed to regard as special
providence Rev. t. A Fernley, Secreta-
ry of the Association, owns lot in a very
eligible position, and had contracted for
the erection Of cottage, and wished to
bind the carpenter to have it done by the
first day of August. This the carpenter
could not promise to do, so Mr.. Fernley
concluded he would not build his cottage
this season, aud directed that tent
should be erected on the site The work
men had erected the platform, when the
storm of Friday night, the lst inst, blew
down large tree across it. This was
the very day that Mr.. Fernley was anx-
ious to have moved his family in, and had
he done so, the consequences must have
been lamentable."

IMPRISONMENT OF NINE MONTHS IN

JUSTICE OVERTAKES AN NALEDRMAN-AN
IMPRISONMENT OF NINE MONTHS IN
POSED.
Alderman John Nichols of Philadel-
phia, iii June last was tried before Judge
Finletter for extortiDg exorditant fees,
aud was convicted. His counsel moved
for new trial, and pending the decision
Of this motion Nichols was admitted to
bail. Fearing conviction he fed the
Jurisdiction, and only lat week he was
rearrested in drinkery on Walnut street,
near Eighth Yesterday morning the al
derman was arraig gned in court, and Judge
Finletter finally disposed Of his case, over
ruling the motion for new trial, in sup
port of which he said no legal reason had
been assigned Causing the crestfallen
alderman to stand up, the judge then ad-
dressed him in the following words =
The people of the Eighth Ward, con
fding in your integrity and Intelligence,
selected you to protect the rights of your
fellow citizens aud to do justice. In vio-
ation of all your duties you have dis
honred your Office and oppressed the citi
zen. Yours has been a system of extor
ton long continued. Immunity made
you reckless and defiant. In the transac-
tion. for which you were justly convicted
you deprived a citizen of his liberty with
ont the shawdcw of authority, because he
would not comply with your extravagant
and illegal demands.
You cannot plead ignorance as an ex
tenuation. You are an intelligent man, i,
and every one is required to know the
law 1t is most reasonable that this
should be more rigidly required of those
who undertake its administration.
The fees of aldermen are defined with
great certainty. 1t was your duty not to
know them, but to have them posted up
in your Office for the inspection and protec-
ton Of the public.
About year ago this court, believing
that very many Of our magistrates were
honest and anxious to do their duty,
carefully examined the question of fees,
and fixed precisely the charges which
might be made The only advantage that
you appear to have derived from this was
that you prepared discharges from com.
mltments, which perhaps you had never
done before You did not catch the spirit
of our Instructions, which was to prevent
and not to encourage extortion.
We greatly fear that our action in this
regard has not received kindly welcome
from whom it was Intended to benefit.
The evil does not seem to abate. Admoni-
ton having failed we must resort to
borabor ,,oapc In Ealla1 h.r'c oasa IN @
court fixed nine months Imprisonment
as proper punishment for the ofeDse.
Justice should be evenhanded. In
criminal matters there should be equality
of punishment whenever the circum-
stances will permit. We find nothing in
your case to distinguish it from Gala
gher's
The judge then sentenced the alder.
man to an Imprisonment of nine mouths.
