! TIE Cold SPRING BEER.-Onc Of the chemists
at the centennial or Saturday, who is chemist Of
/ the Board of Health in Boston, pronounces the
| lager beer, manufactured by Mcssrs. Moeschlin
& Bro, an unadultcrated article, and says that
no such article can be found in Boston. The
beer contains nothing buJ the pure malt and
hops. This appears to be the universal testi-
mony Of every one who has ever drank of the
beer. The young men manufacturing the article
thoroughly understand brewing and know how
to make it pure, and there is no danger of them
resorting 20 drugging it for the sake OF gain.
WuLISG TO RACE.-Ed. Moulton noticing
challenges from women in various parts of the
State to row races and engage in athletic sports,

fifty years over five hurdles three feet high the
winner OF two out of the three to take SlO0.
Who accepts the challenge !-Hiner's Journal.
REDUCING RESrs.--We are happy to notice
that landlords are moving in the reduction Of
rents. During the hard times many of the te-
nants were without employment, and perhaps
their families in need of the necessaries Of life.
Owners of tenant houses are receiving eXhOrb-
tant rents in a number Of instances, and now as
wages are being reduced rents should be lowered
correspondiagly. NJ. Wm. I. Englcman has
been the first to move in this matter, and has re-
duced the rents on his houses ten per cent, to
take effect on the first day OF Seatember.
good tenant will appreciate such a liberal act,
and the landlord may expect to save the amount
throsgh better care on the part Of the tenant,
which will insure q continuance Of occupancy.
THE DGiLQ adopts a very delicate way of bring
ing Emanuel Wilyert out for Congress.-GGzstte.
Since the above notice appeared in the Gazette,
there have been surmses that the editor of that
paper, Mr.. Youngman, is an asrirant for the po-
siton. John always has an eye open for office,
and with the aid OF little fattery could no
doubt be induced to be candidate for either par
IN. We have consulted with Mr.. Dissinger who
has agreed TO withdraw and leave Mr.. Young
man have the field, as he would most likely re-
ceive the nomination Of both parties, and there
would be no earthly hope for either Of as. We
therefore decline.
THE Reporter Of the Court proceedings in the
Daily seems to think the owner Of an old build

have his Old house removed.

PuoNoGRAPuY.-Wc notice that the Court has
appointed J. II. Vosburg, a photographer, to
| take down the evidence Of witnesses during the
tria! of causes by jury. This method of writing
out evidence will aid much in expediting bust
ness, aud will be a great saving of time and ex-
pense. As for instance the expense Of holding
court averages about S25 per hour, and by the
aid OF photographer at least two or three hours
time in a day will be saved, and the records viii
be kept in full on file in accordance with the act
| Of Assembly in such cases made and provided.
