Mr.. Morris s, Miller was the counsel TO the Col
lector OF Arrears OF Personal Taxes. This appoint
ment comes under Corporation Attorney E. Della
field Smith. Colonel Charles s. Spencer had been
pressed for the position by his friends, but having
been elected as Member of Assembly from the
Thirteenth district on tue l4th inst, according to
the charter he is ineligible to hold Offices.
EX-Judge John II. White was named for the place,
but Colonel spencer, 1t is understood, wanted to
have an agreement entered into that il Judge
White was appointed, he should resign at the ex-
piration OF the Legislative session. when Colonel
Spencer would accept OF the appointment To this
arrangement the Judges friends would not con-
sent and the gallant Colonel chose TO go to Albany
rather than be Counsel to the Collector OF Personal
Taxes. Judge White has duly qualified and Is the
new incumbent OF this important 0iice vice Morris
S. Miller, removed. General Joseph Dickinson,
late Adjutant General OF Major General Joe Hooker
is City Marshal to the Collector.

THE LABOR CRISIS In PATTERSON.

The cold weather has INCREASED the number o,
dependents upon the charitable people OF Pater-

and about 800 at the Main street Methodist church
are daily fed. The various charitable and benevo-
lent societies had conference Yesterday
afternoon and agreed TO continue acting
separately, but report together frequently,
In order to prevent the dependents or one
organization from imposing upon another.
The Catholic societies have expended over $70O In
clothing the poor, OF which fully one-half was for
shoes for women and children. Despite the reso-
luton OF the Aldermen TO set men Immediately at
work on the streets, there were none yesterday
started, owing TO the usual red tape delay In
beginning such things. Matters are becoming
somewhat threatening among the unem-
ployed, who are getting restive at the con-
tinued delays IN the matter OF municipal

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
In your paper OF the Goth inst. considerable
space is devoted to statements In relation
to myself in connection with aid from the
government for constructing the Pacific roads.
l beg leave to request that such statements may
be suspended until an application is made to Con-
gress by the companies. You may rest assured
that no application will be presented on behalf OF
the road with which am officially connected un-
less upon basis absolutely secure to the govern
ment, and certain to promote the material inter
ests OF the country, by giving active employment
to thousands OF deserving men, now idle. II an
arrangement can be devised by which tnese great
works will be completed, not only without any
possibility OF loss to the government but, on the
contrary, its best interests greatly promoted-I
have no doubt that you win agree with many other
good men that this is contamination devouty to
be wished. trust that the Importance Of the sub
ject will secure its careful consideration by the
press OF the country before critcizng II adversely.

day around the once OF Receiver OF Taxes General
M. 7. Mcmahon toepay their annual taxes
which, II lett unpaid on the first OF December,
involve penalty OF one per cent additional. At
two O'Clock the police oficer on duty closed the
doors. and only those inside the entrance could
have their business attended to. If the taxpayers
would send their checks instead OF standing IN
line for hours, or, If they do not keep bank ac-

greater despatch and receive their receipts q few
days after, which would save great annOya yance to

(From the Weston Demoerat)
During the storm on the night Of the
9th inst, the lightning struck the light
ming rod on the Spire Of the centre build
ing Of the Asylum, The charge was too
great for. the conducting power Of the
rod, and II was melted in several places,
and paris Of 1t thrown 10 q considerable
distance. The lightning divided, and
passed down each side Of the cupslo,
tearing splinters from 1t and melting holes
in the tin roofing. It then passed along
The roof tU each corner Of the building,
where the tin Joins the rock. Here on
one side It separated the roof entirely
from therock work, curling up and dis
placing the tin connection. Where the
lightning rod terminated in the ground
an inch round hole was formed. lndica-
tons Of It's freaks could be seen In various
parts Of the tin on tho different buildings.
Fortunately no ono was hurt, but many
we're alarmed, and the patients were more
than usually noisy during the night.
