a5y- A short time ago a pavement was Or
dered by the New Hope Council to be laid on
the west side of Main street-from Mr.. Edgar
Mellin's property along to the corner of Mr..
Michael Vanhart's hotel That pavement has
lust been completed in workmanlike manner,
and is credit to the Borough. The pave
ment runs considerably below the old crossing,
nearly to the "Indiap Pole,o and thence to
the corner of the hotel porch, enclosing space
of ground which had long been used by the
travelling public, which, nevertheless belong
ed to the hotel property-that space has been
added to Mr.. Vanhalts yard, and is enclosed
by beautiful low pailing fence, following the
pavement around the curve in a graceful man
ner as far as the hotel property extends in
that direction. There the iron fence in front
of the new M. e. Church and the new resi-
dence Of Mr.. Geo. A. Cook, with all its at
Effectiveness and beauty, runs the remainder
of tae distance to Mr.. Mellin's residence
The gorgeous display of flowers in the aerial
flower garden of Mr.. Cook, and the neat
and imposing appearances of the new M. j..
Church, with the great improvement Of the
hotel property, &C., cause the street to pre-
sent tasteful and becoming appearance
and it is looked upon with pride by the
citizens.

The Trenton Sfote Gazette says There is
money plenty in the country, as is shown by
the statements of the banks. A larger surplus
of banking and reserve capital is in existence
at the present time than there was year ago
from this date, and it would appear that all
we want is manufactures to use the money.
The present state of business in this city has
a favorable look. The large manufactures
have been running nearly full time all the
year. The Roeblings are running night and
day the Wire Mill has not been much affected
by the panic. 1t has been doing fair bust
ness, and now begins to feel an upward ten
dency ; the Rubber Works have been running
night and day. The large rolling mill, where
railroad rails and beams are manufactured,
has had some slack times, but they are still
running, probably not up to their full capacity
Under all these circumstances Trenton ought
to be in good fix. We are looking, there
fore, for revival of business when everybody
gets home from their Summer excursions.

Of the fFood. sol as to make some announcement

of the food, so as to make some arrangement
toward a rescue, But he only succeeded in
crossing New Hope bridge, which he did at a
dead run, just as his uncle passed unhurt be-
meath it, and on wheeling round his painting
steed he witnessed the destruction of the last
end Of the bridge he had just cross, d. On
seeing the lutte raft with its living freight
safe below, he proceeded to follow, but could
not keep pace with the object of his chase
after it had entered the swift current of Wells
Falls. From that time it was far in advance
of him. After narrowly escaping the wrecks
of other bridges, George was rescued by some
man whose name is forgotten, who yentured
at the risk Of his own life, III a boat on the
rushing food. Those were moments Of deep
suspense when the boat was brought along
side the little raft and the wet and trembling
man climbed with. careful effort into the ark
OF safety These two men. with their faces
pale and stolid, almost ID tile JAWS of death,
did neither speak nor salute each other until
they both were safe on land again.
The Neptoun Enterprise says 6 we believe
the name Of the res uer was Nicholson. We
remember seeing him aud his wife several,
years afterward ut Centre Bridge, where be
frequently came to visit the Fell family.
Nicholson was poor man, and was kind-re-
membered by the Fe,l's. He never returned
from his visits empty handed. He may be living

New PATENT.-Dr. T. Fell of this city,
has recently received a patent for running tel
egraph wires under ground, instead of on
poles. The plan consists of glass tubes, in
short sections, fastened together by non-con-
ductor containing disks OF supporters, with a
groove to receive the wires and keep them
separate The calibre of the tube may be as
required, with sections for receiving and
giving off branches at such places as may be
required and for placing in the line sections
for testing, sc. The first cost will be some
what more, but the Doctor thinks the saving
in cost of repairs and the annoyance and loss
in consequence of broken wires, ETC., will
greatly overbalance this. He is prepared to
give any information by applying to him by
letter at Lambertville, and will lay test line
for any company.
