Protection to Cemeteries.

Among the late acts passed By our Leg
islature, was one giving police powers to
superintendents or other persons eEtrust
ed with the care Of Cemetery grounds,
which we here reproduce. 1t is singular
that persons can be found so lost to all
sense Of decorum or decency as to despoil
the last resting places of the dead Of their
treasures of shrubs aud flowers, planted
by loving hands, but it is nevertheless,
true, and it would be we'll for such van
dals to read and reflect that there is
punishment to be meted out for such
wanton desecraton. "It shall be lawful
for the trustees, directors or other officers
OF all organized cemeteries within this
State. to appoint as many day and night
watchmen of their grounds as they mas
deem expedient and such watchmen,
and also all Of their superintendents,
gardeners and agents, stationed on such
grounds, are hereby authorized to take
and subscribe before any mayor or justice
of the peace in the township where such
cemeteries may be situated, an oath of of
fee, similar to the oath required by law
of constables and upon the taking OF
such oaths, such watchmen, superintend.
ents: gardeners and agents shall have.
exercise and possess all powers of police
officers within aud adjacent to said come
terry grounds ; and they, and each of them,
shall have power to arrest, on view, all
persons engaged in violating the laws of
this State in reference to the protection
care and preservation of cemeteries, and
Of the trees, shrubbery, structures and
adornments therein, and to bring such
persons SO offending, before mayor or
justice of the peace within such town
ship, to be dealt with according to law. Z"

Regular Liquor and Tobacco Dealers

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
decides that regular liquor and tobacco
dealers holding special tax stamp as such,
may close their ordinary place of business
for the time being, aud, on registry Of
the facts with the collector of the district,
may do business under such stamp at one
stand in the fair grounds situate in the
said district, without the payment of ad
ditional tax, but before opening again
their regular places of business should
make new registry with the collector
of the district.

A Word for Jersey.

Notwithstanding the jeers of outsiders
at Jersey" and the slurs Of her being a
foreign State, her sparse population of 10
or II miles distant, barren soil, &C., all
must admit that her mosquitoes and gal
lynippers are first rate, full grown pro
duction, complete in all their parts, from
biting down. One of a party recently
rusticatDg on the "Shore," AYERS that
while lying down, defending himself from
an attack by the affectionate animals, that
he actually felt rising sensation as
though he was being lifted up. This may
have been delusion, as Jersey lightn
ing" is said to have produced the same
sensation but he averred it to be a fact
that they could bite through three sets Of
clothing without difficulty. Yet for all
this, the mosquitoes are not to be de
spised. They appear to be endowed with
patriotism and defend their native soil
with a vigor not to be Ignored 1t ap-
pears that party Of PenusylSanians, who
recently cncamped in little Jersey, feel
ing rather independent, actually stole a
railroad depot aud carried it into the
bushes to sat upon. The iDosqultoes ia
dignaptly resented the outrage, aud max
ing a vigorous and united attack on the
intrudcrs, routed the whole crowd, retook
the depot, and probably carried It back to
it's position. 1t is well for the loved
ones at home" that it was only the mos
ouitoes that went for the crowd. Us Jer
sew Justice is noted for the eelerity and
certainty Of its operations on all INSIDERS.

The By La ws of this Company, and the
regulations governing insurance have, re-
Gently been very materially changed, pa-
cling il upon basis equal TO that of any
Fire Insurance Company in the State.
Important among these changes are the
following. viz:
Policies, instead of being perpetual, are
issued for five years.
All property is classified and the rate Of
premium is fixed according to the risk of
the property.
Premium notes are taken, and all as
sessments are made on the notes.
Property is insured for not more than
two thirds Of ITS actual cash value. and the
full amount of insurance paid in cas Sc of loss,
provided the loss be equal to the amount of
insurance.
'Annual assessments only are made. ex-
eept in cases of heavy loss. and where
special assessment is necessary.
The Company is therefore prepared to in
sure property upon terms much more desira-
bic than under the old system.
Appicainns may be made to any of the
Managers, Surveyors, or Secretary.

brooklyn, New York. is rather notorious for
sensational preachers, but the Rev. Dewitt
Ialmadge, in his efforts TO outshine Henry
ward Beecher as a star pulpit performer has
assumed montebank role utterly discredit-
able to his calling. He - celebrated public
wedding at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
the other night, in which the married couple
were dressed in masquerade suits hired from
theatrical cOstumer. The bride and groom
and their attendants, who were numerous were
rugged wigs, brooches. furbelows, high heeled
shoes, paste buckles, etc, etc, and the public
were told that the fantastiesl display they made
truly represented a New England wedding
party OF the olden time. Upon the stage OF the
Academy, with three thousand spectators sit
ling in the front, who paid the theatrical price
Tor admission, with a dramatic orchestra
fddling and blowing just in front of him, Mr.
] Slmsdge united the couple, who were fools
enough TO place themselves in such position,
in marriage. We advise the Rev. Talmadge to
aldieate his pulpit in favor of Dan Rice or some
other professional clown, whose style of buff
foOnery would certainly be more refined and
less sacrilegiOus than that Of this reverend"
gentleman.

The Atlantic Disaster.

Enough has been ascertained in regard to the
loss of the steamer Atlantic to show culpable
negligence and gross ineffcieney on the part of
the officers, and a criminal disposition on the
part of the White Star line company to imperil
human life in order to make short voyages and
large profits The steamers of this line are long
end narrow, and well adapted for fast sailing,
but are correspODdingly unsafe. Though built
In compartments 90 secure il from sinking in
case OF accident. the Atlantic seems to have
gone down Ike lead on striking the rock. The
inference il, therefore, that she broke her back
an consequence OF her inordinate length to
her breadth. In the same spirit of cupid
ity and in order to make a quick trip, the
steamer took in only minimum supply of
coal TO lessen the weight. thus necessitatiny
a visit to Halifax for an additional supply.
The captain OF the Atlantic seems also to have
been wanting, not only in seamanship, but in
tie chivalry and gsllantry which have so GEN
orally characterized the captains OF ocean
Steamers in case of disaster. While approach
ing the dangerous shores near Halifax in thick
weather, and in the night, he abandoned the
Charge OF the vessel to subordinate, and went
10 his rest; and when aroused by the striking of
Tie ship, he seems TO have taken more thought
Tor his own life than the lives OF those confded
10 his care. At any rate, he seems to have been
wholly unequal to the emergency, and what
was effected in the way of saving the lives of
passengers was accomplished by some of the
sub-ofiicers. Cupidity and reeklessness appear
20 have been at the bottom OF this terrible dis
ssteT, and IL il some satisfaction to know that
the greed that would imperil human life in this
manner has received sharp punishment al
ready, and Is likely to be further punished in
1he future through a want OF confidence In the
safety OF the other vessels Of the line.

capture Of the notorious Forester, who was
supposed TO be the Nathan murderer, and the
more recent arrests of Tom Wright and Henry
Young, who are believed to be the murderers OF
