HIS Honor, Mayor Dean, ha. not had

ont single exception, are heartily

The marriage of Miss Cloudy to Mr..
Varney, on Thursday evening, was the
occasion of one of the largest and most
enjoyable parties that has congregatcd
in NJ. +. this winter This is not spring
the calendar is mistakenly The ''serc-
nadcrs" were out in full force, also but
the appearance Of Il policeman made them
scatter.
The spelling match between the chill
dren, under Captain Van Pelt and adults
under Captain Dean, was to take place
last evening, and we presume did. How
it resulted We of course do not know, rs

BRIDGEPORT AND .ETNAyILLE.
We asked one hundred and fifty per-
sons in Bridgeport yesterday, what was
the news, and one hundred and foty-nine
and half of them, told us nothing,
except it is awful muddy" Whether
they intended TO add insult to injury,
deponcnt sayeth not, but It looked mighty
much like it, when we had been wading
through mud foot deep for half
day. In fact the mud was so deep and
80 plentiful, that it was only our eX-
tremely pious disposition that prevented
Us from jeopardizing our hopes Of future
happiness by matchmaking it. The fact
is the street crossings in Bridgeport are
too low. They are, in many places, lower /
than the street and the liquid mud keeps !
them constantly overhowed.
ONE reason why Bridgeport does not
improve her payements, erect street |
lamps, dc, is that the town has been in
debt for sometime, and is just getting
out. The erection of the new school
house. (which is really fine
structurc) involved considerable expense,
and involved the corporation. The au-
thoriticS are perhaps right in refusing to
incur more debt, until the one named is
discharged.
JAMES OSBORNE is putting up street
lamp in front of his store If other
merchant, would do the same. il would
he little expense to them and great con-
yenience to night pedestrians.
\ FRIEND in Bridgeport told us we
could promise a spicy paper to b. next
week. We are satisfied he can have the
promise kept, if he will and if he don't,
do not blame us.
ETNAvILLE occasionally has Il little
sensation to break the monotonv of il
life. Yesterday it was fight between
Dutch Charlie and Tom Stewart.
Charley let bar of iron fall upon Stew
nrt : toes, and then Stewart let his fist
fall upon Charles nose Result, Il ire .
mendous amount Of sparring and dodg- /.
ing, but nobody hurt.
The .Etna mill can scarcely keep up .
with its orders for small bar iron, but the
demand for sheet iron is limited.
