For the Bloomfield Time
A Nuisance,

Mr.. Editor What we are going to con-
slider in this article has engaged the minds
of many beside us. 1t is this There are
entirely too many vagabonds in the shape
of "beggars, running through our land.
In the winter time they manage to get
into our Poor House, to lay there all win
ter but as soon as Spring comes, when
there may be something for them to do,
they leave there and roam the country over
begging their way as they go. They are
not always reliable either People who
live along the public highway are often
bothered with them great DEAL If they
should refuse them something to cat, or a
place to sleep, and should tell them to 90
and earn their living by work, instead Of
roaming through the land, they may seek
revenge by burning their buildings. Last
Spring, year since, four of this kind of
people came through our part of the coun-
try and asked for lodgings. Not getting
any they found their way through win
dow in school house, near this place,
burnt all the wood, candles and matches
that were in the house they also performed
some other tricks which are too shameful
to mention here. The teacher, the next
morning, found the house in horrible
condition. Would it not be we'll for the
people of this county to petition Congress
to pass an act, forbidding the landing in
this country of such people. 1t is said
and we believe it is true, too, that some
foreign countries empty their poor-houses
and prison-pens, pay their expenses, and
send them over to the United States, so
that they can get rid of them and no longer
feed them. AMERICAN.

answered with sigh, 81 am afraid did

LAST week we gave an account of a
splendid donation to the public by Mr..
Lick, of San Francisco, who it seems is a
Pennsylvania man. Mr.. Lick is the son of
plain Lebanon farmer, was born in a
one-story house common in the country in
those days, seven miles from the town of
Lebanon, and bred farmers boy. Dur
ing the gold excitement of 1s49, Mr.. Lick,
like many others, wended his way to the
Pacific slope in search of fortune. I'm
like many of his fellows he succeeded be-
yond expectations. A few years ago Mr..
Lick had the old house in which he was
born shipped by rail to his Pacific home,
and there set up on his farm, and furnish
ed as of old, wonder to curiosity-seekers.
Mr.. Lick's fortune was made in lucky
gold and real estate ventures.

Financial Wrants.

The trustees Of the estate of Oakes Ames
have been obliged to put it into bank
ruptcy, declaring at the same time that if
properly managed the assets will meet all
the obligations. He was the organizer and
manager of the notorious Credit Mobilier,
into which he inveigled score of leading
congressman, only to betray them at last
and blast their regulations. If he had
been mere lobby agent or adventurer the
case would not have been so bad. But he
was one of the most extensive manufac-
turers in New England, and was reputed
to be worth nine millions, He was one of
the very few men who rendered possible
the building of the Union Pacific Railroad
at the time when no one had any faith in
it. At that time it was regarded as won
derful exhibition of personal energy. But
underneath it lay this Credit Mobilier,
through which Ames and his associates
took the contracts and reaped immense
profits without putting in any money, the
government lands furnishing the working
capital.

tremendous streak of luck that it seems tC

SANDY HILL, June II, 1874.
A hot Days Experlence-Big snapper
The Deacon in Trouble.
One day some three weeks since, about
2 o'clock P. NJ, when the heat was 80 in
the shade, two Medical Students might
have been seen reclining on the grass, in
the shade of the trees that surrounds DR..
Rodgers Med Office, at Sandy Hill The
one held in his hand the last system of
Groose's Surgery, while the other was
bothering over work on Chemistry. The
first to break the silence was Mr.. A. r.
R, surnamed the "Deacon," who
family squeaked, cold fellow let's go swim
ming" "All right" was the reply that
came from the lips of the other, whose
name we need not mention here, and so
they were soon on their way to indulge in
one of the most pleasant past-times of
summer. AS they were crossing small
stream, the Deacon" suddenly yelled q
swapping turtle, and instantly tainted. The
other chap landed the "old snapper" in
double quick, and then proceeded to
awaken his comrade out of syncope, by
holding that snapper in close relation to
the glutaus maximus muscle of the "Dea-
con-" They then proceeded on their jour
ney to the creek, holding the snapper at
arms length, while the enraged Brute
snapped at everything within reach, not
forgetting the "Deacon's" one inferior ex-
tremity, which he nabbed and relieved the
now irate "Deacon" of both spunk and
blood. But to proceed, having arrived at
the bathing grounds, the next trouble was,
what to do with the spunky old snapper,
while in bathing. However, they both
came to the conclusion, that wherethere
is a will, there is way" but the way was
not visible to them yet ; at last the "Dea-
con" looked wise, and said he guessed he
knew Of a way to stop his internal travelling
while in swimming. So he set down on .
grass plot and pulled off a boot, that
| looked like an inverted canal boat He
then divested himself of his unmentiona
ables; tied the legs shut, and then proceed
ed to chuck the snapper in, and fastening
them shut at the top, completely confinine
his "snappership." The deacon" al
this time, was as calm and serene as Geo
| Washington was the night he crossed thu
Delaware, when the fate of a nation resteC
on his shoulders and certainly the fate o
the old snapper rested on the strength o.
them breeches, and well he knew it too, fol
the way the old chap did rear and pitch
was simply awful All the while just a
quiet smile played around the "Dea
con's' mouth, as ever bedecked the visag
of jeff Davis, when Unionists got a hold o
him in Dixie. But to proceed, after beinl
in the water an hour or more, they cam
out to prepare TO go home. 1t was thcl
that the work began. The old snappe
just clinched on to the internal posterio
portion Of that garment, and there h
hung, let 60 he would not, and TO go hom
without that necessary article, was not b
be thought Of If the Deacon" was cain
before, he was not now. He said, con

eB- When the late King Of the Sand
wich Islands was gathered to his fathers he
was buried in a feather cloak which had
passed down to him through generations Of
royal chieftains. When the remains were
to be placed into the coffin, and were re-
moved from the feather robe on which they
had lain in state, his aged father command
that the body be buried in the robe, as the
dead king, his son, was the last of the fam
lily and to him, therefore, it belonged. 1t
will cost more than 500, 600 to replace this
robe, if it ever is replaced, for one million
of birds, possessed of rare red and yellow
plumage, were caught to furnish the ma
terial of which it was made.

taken in charge at the New York depot

him wandering listlessly about the place.
Tyson states that he arrived in New York
from Jamaica, where he was planter, on
Saturday last. He remained at the Astor
house until Wednesday, when he came to
Philadelphia and remained over night at a
hotel near the depot but became alarmed
at the noises early in the morning and quit

where he was found.
CB- One day last week a professional
gambler went into faro room in Chicago
to play an engagement with the tiger. He

continued losing and finally, at the end
of fifty hours he ceased playing, being
then out of pocket to the amount of $11,-
900. During this session of fifty hours the
game was unbroken. The gambler never
slept for a moment, never stopped to eat p
meal, but carried the whole tremendous en-
terprise through without rest, cessation or
refreshment.

neither of the belligerents were hit. One
of the bullets struck messenger boy of

and host of similar wicked sentences
After working half an hour, the snapper
let loose and came out, much to the IDEA
cons" delight. He, however, was finally
recaptured and taken home where he will
get into worse scrape before long. The
parties are doing well, but the "Deacon"
says he will never accommodate turtle of
that description in such departments again.
The Deacon" also says, when the snap
per clinched him by the leg, it "painfully''
reminded him of Aunt Jemimas Plaster,
the more he tried to pull that critter off,
the more he stuck the faster.

"A bill has passed the Massachu-
sets Legislature providing for a sep
arate prison for women. This is the
first step in Il reform the necessity for
which must be seen to be understood.
Many females arrested for petty often
ces, such as assault, not involving
moral degradation, are helped to ruin
by their associations in prison. 1t
may be only the temporary prison of a
police cell, but the Influences are the
same. The scene witnessed at DO
lice station when female, respectable
or disreputable, is brought in, is revol-
ing to every feeling of decency. The
search by an officer, and the confne-
ment amid drunkards bowling slang
and profanity, must deprive the wo-
man of any self respect which she may
have had and when selfrespect is
gone from men or women they are
lost. Women should not only be in
separate prisons, but when arrested
they should not be searched except by
women.
