Mr. EDITOR Il observe that some very
severe structures have been laid upon our
Street Commissioner by the Editor of the
'other paper"
Now wish it distinctly understood that |
am in no wise connected with the street, nor
with the Commissioner, nor will | undertake
to defend him, in all things. But at the same
time would like to see justice done. 1t
must be borne in mind that we have just pass
ed through one Of the most severe winters
within the memory of the oldest inhabitants.
The streets se in bad condition from the fact,
that, since spring has opened, there has not
been any clear sunny weather to dry them ;
and the almost continuous rains have washed
the mud down into the cutters. so that one
dozen Street Commissioners with the young
gentleman of the Beacon to assist them,
could not keep them, as they are now con-
structed, i'll a very clearly condition. But it
is Just barely possible that there may be some
other cause at work, to provoke the ire of the
little editor 1t looks very much as if he had
been made the catspaw for drawing the chest
nuts out of the fire, by some designing politi-
clan of the Democratic persuasion, and that
the exciting cause of the attack is a desire to
injure the only Republican city office holder
in the place.
In one part of the article under considera-
ton, in a kind of rbapsody,she exclaims that
the Street Commissioner Z" is failure" Well
if such be the fact, he is not the only failure
in this community for it is pretty generally
conceded = and it is an idea that seems to be
growng-that although the young man is in
some respects very creditable parsonage,
and can ''grasp the lever that moves the
world . in most wonderful manner, yet as
an Editor s.he is failure" Much more
present let it pass. r. r.

NEARLY A FIRE.-On Friday last one of the
beams in the engine room at Voorhees,, Harm
& Co.'S MILL this place, was discovered to be
on fire, and it was with some difficulty entirely
extinguished. No alarm was given however,
and the work of putting out the fire was con-
fined to the men employed in the spoke depart
ment. Had it not been discovered before the
men left the mill in the evening we should
have to record this week the utter destruction
of the property, and probably All the lower por-

EDITOR RECORD In your city week or
so ago, was startled by the sound of music
and singing, and being I'm admirer of singing,
| entered No. 6, Union St, kept by X. Talcott,
Matchmaker and Jeweler, and | must confess
that was entertained there for over an hour
in listening to some of the best singing it has
been my good fortune to hear for some time.
Among the performers was Master Willie
Angel, whose the voice and vocal powers are
a credit to, your city, Mr.. Talcott keeps one
of the best establishments of the kind within
miles of the city, and has fine stock of goods
carefully stored away in his place of bust
ness, and more gentlemanly person to deal
with cannot be found. Such an establishment
and such proprietor should be patronized by
the citizens of your place. Y. 4.

Astronomy as n Nuisance.

DR. THRALL, of Philadelphia has made
a very unpleasant discovery In about
seven years Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune will approach nearer the earth
than they have been in l 800 years, and
the result will be pestilence. When
Congress has the manlness to make as
tronomy an indictable ofiense, then we
shall have relief, but not before. 1t was
not long while since that some one pre-
dicted that the earth would be swamped
wish deluge, and you couldn't borrow an
umbrella or a pair of rIlbbers from any
one. The next idiot said that a comet
would strike and dcmolish the earth in "a
twinkling. Whereupon many excellent
people tied their beds and carpets about
their premises, and put cotton in their
ears and sat down on the cellar bottom in
dreadful expectation of the shock. Hardly
had this alarm passed off when another
astronomer came around to tell the people
that the Niagara Falls would be dry in
less than $4,000 years, and nothing would
do but that people should hurry right out
there for farewell look, and in less than
twenty -four hours there weren't people
enough in Danbury to entertain japanese
hermit And now here is Thrall with
the tObacco-chewers are TO be killed, ana
young ladies who wear stays, and men
who bet on the wrong horse. Ii we un-
derstand the old scoundrel correctly, the
only people saved are those who drink
lemonade out of dipper and play Copen
hagen with their aunts-Ddnbury Ne,cs.
