A harmless but somewhat nlOrtifying
accident occurred on Main street on
Thursday afternoon last Our friend Gary
was driving one of the finest looking
horses to be found in the village, and a
good stopper withall. While enjoying the
pleasure of drawing the ribbons over such
a steed, unconscious of danger or mishap,
the king-boIt broke, letting the front of
the buggy suddenly down and throwing
Mr. Gary into the mud. Grit, as every
one knows Gary to be, be held on to the
lines, and was drawn some rods through
the deep mud, until he successfully stopped
the steed. His habilaments, and especial
ly that plug hat, suffered. He was liter

EQUNE.-We were inYited the Other
day to take look of Wyman's Hunter
colt, of Saybrook, and cheerfully accep.
ted the pleasure, as the fame of that colt
had made him an object of interest. He
was but two years old last spring, and has
already attained full size, weighing, 116O,
and standing probably 16 hands high.
He is symmetrical in form, faultless in
limb, mostly black, and shading off to
brown about the legs, and lower parts Of
the body. His stock is good for speed,
and be has good points of promise for
trotting. He Is by all odds the first colt
that has been raised in this region. He
is to be kept as a stallion. Mr. Wyman
informs US that he has been offered $500
for the colt, but does not care to part with
il for that,

THE GEAUeA REPUBLICAN has been
materially enlarged and taken the form Of
a quarto. This step Occasions no surprise
as an evidence of prosperity, for the
Republican has afforded all along, the best
of evidence of decided ability and we'll
earned success. Bro. CONVERSE has tact
and perseverance, and thoughtful head,
and wields a vigorous and graceful pen,
and these things seldom fail to bring a
tair return. We do not, however, admire
the form he has adopted, nor do we see
the necessity of foreign aid in making up
one side of his sheet, but of that he is per-
hsps, the best judge.

The February dividend is a matter of
some interest with the holders of L. s. &
NJ. S. stock. The tears that have been felt,
have now given place TO settled fact, and
though the decision of the question brings
no consolation, the trembling expectant is
relieved from vexatious suspense. The
directors have determined to skip this div
idend. Of course this action has had its
effect upon the price of the stock, and
within day or two it has settled TO very
discouraging point, to those holding it.
This stock since the management has been
taken to Wall street, has lost much of its
steadiness and reliability, and is therefore,
less desirable for permanent investment.
The stock on Wednesday, the time ofthis
writing, is quoted at so, some three or four
cents depreciation.

Council Meeting.

The council met on Monday evening
present, mayor, clerk, and couDcilmen Gil
key, Faulkner, Goeppinger, and Apthorp.
Minutes read and approved.

done with it. 1t was therefore laid over
Comm. ON Fire and Watgt, by Mr.. Goep-
pinger, submitted paper from the chief
and assistant engineers, asking for pay
ment of fremen $I.50 for each meeting,
and 80 cents per hour when on duty; or
if not approved, recommending the pur-
chase of a steam fire engine. Referred to
comm. on Fire and Water
Police comm, by Mr.. Apthorp, brought
up the matter of intoxication of officer
Rennick. This officer being present, de,
MED the charge, point blank. Mr.. Ap-
tho-p substantiated the charge by the de.
claration of two or three witnesses. Mar
shal Thorpe stated that he had seen the
accused several times during the evening
in question, but did not observe anything
unusual in his bearing. 1t was voted to
pass the thing over for the present, with
the admOnition that second offense-if
guilty, would cause his name to be dropped
from the foree
Voted that the proposition for supply of
gas and the care of the street lamps ac-
cepted for the last month, be continued for
the present month.
A discussion Of the propriety of paying
bills for publishing ordinances in the in
terest of the Gas Co. and A, Y. &P. Co
arose, in which Mr.. Luce, representing the
Gas Co. took part. The opinion of the
board was, that the corporation should not
be held liable, while Mr.. Luce took the
ground that the course of the council was
unusual. The bill was ordered to be plac
ed in the hands of the solicitor for collec-
ton, if legal. Other bills of the street
commissioner for putting the streets IN ord
er where left otherwise, after the sinking
of the mains, were directed to be collec-
ed by the clerk. i
A remonstrance was submitted from
citizens of Sycamore Street against tap.
ping sewer of that street for the benefit of
parties not living on that street. Referred
to solicitor.
The 1O16 o'clock closing ordinance of
of billiard rooms, was read third time
and lost. Gilkey and Apthorp voting
against it. The object OF this ordinance
was to place billiard saloons on the same
ground with the liquor salOons-closing
at 1O1a O'Clock. Its loss leaves the liqucr
saloons to close at 101S, and the billiard
saloons at 8 o'clock. The greater license
to the greater evil, was apparent, but the
idea was to shorten in rather than extend. |
The ordinance permitting the increase
of the pay of policemen from $50 to $50 !
a month, was Iead the third time and |
passed.
The sewer tax assessed upon the tannery
of W. W. Smith, after discussion, was
remitted.
Five more lamp posts for the village, TO
be located as directed by Gas comm, were |
voted.
A receipt from the treasurer for $2.75 |
presented by the clerk.
The following bills were presented and

A.h.abula Plow Handle Works.

The effort to form a stock company last
week. for the purpose of carrying on the
Handle business at Ellis's factory, was
not success. Various propositions were
submitted and considered, but there was
not sufficient harmony of opinion upon any
one, for securing its adoption. This result,
if final-which we hope is nrt-is unfortu-
nate in every point of view, but particu-
larly, as ii defers andpostpOnes the pre-
cedent and Inauguration of these institu-
tons In our village for manufacturing pur-
poses. The permanent establishment of
prosperity and growth depends upon the
founding and encouragement of such es-
Establishments in our midst. Railroads of
course, are necessary, but they are only
the hand maids Of industrial establish
ments-the one is a necessary dependence,
and the other a concomitant If our aspIr-
ations and dreams of growth are to be full
ly realized, manufacturing must be found
ed and fostered among us. Mr. Ellis has
done well in building up business of the
class alluded to, and but for misfortune,
would undoubtedly have made it an i'm
portant and profitable concern, but adver-
sity and want of capital are heavy weights
to swim with.on the sea of business. He,
however, counts but one, while scores of
