IIIeHTsTowN ELECTION - TEMPERANCE
VIcToRy.-The Borough election for officers
of Hightstown was held Monday. As last
year the one great question at issue was Ii
cense or no license, and, as last year, the no
license ticket was victorious, Elston Hunt be-
ing reelected Mayor by a majority of ten oy-
or s. M. Schanck, the license candidate.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
clergymen electioneered the whole day
through, while the ladies held constant pray
er meetings. When the result was announced
at night the excitement became intense and
was manifested in the ringing Of bells, shout
ing, singing and thanksgiving meetings. Both
candidates for mayor were Democrats.

LEwIsBURG, APRIL 5TH, 1875.
The ice has gone out of the river without
seriously injuring the bridges. The gorge
which was formed above Milton, began to
move on Wednesday evening, gently and ma
jestically. When it reached the islands op-
poste Winfield, miles below this place, it
formed a dam which threatened destruction to
much property. At IL A. NJ, on Thursday,
the water in our town was within two feet of
the marking made by the great fresbet of
1865, and boats were passing through many
of the main streets of the place. In many
places the water was over the window-sils on
the first floor But our anxiety was suddenly
relieved. At 12A P. NJ, the gorge yielded to
the pressure from above, and by P. NJ, the
countenance of our villagers were more cheer
full than they had been for the preceding
month.
Some loss of property has been sustained,
but the damage has been SO much less than
was anticipated that every one seems to be
filled with JOY that the dreadful event has
passed. and we are left SO well TO do.
The ground is still covered with snow. The
weather is fine and the health of the COM
munity is improving.

WHAT BEEcHER THINKS OF HIMSELF
They tell tolerably well authenticated story
IN Brooklyn, by way of showing how Mr..
Beecher regards his own conduct in respect to
the scandal Brother Shearman was calling
ON Beecher one Sunday, and the conversation
naturally turned upon the scandal and the
trial. Mr. Beecher remarked. finally, that he
doubted if it We're strictly proper to talk
about such things on Sunday. To which
Brother Shearman dryly replied that he had
read in the Scriptures that when an OK or an
ass had fallen into pit it was right to pull
him out even on the Sabbath day. Beecher
laughed and said, "Well, guess you've got
fallen into, have yet to hear of them.

THE CENTENNIAL ExHIBITIoN.--Since the
award of the contract for the construction of
the Conservatory, or horticultural Hall, the
contractor has been busy getting everything
in readiness for building operations when the
season opens. The iron work is well under
way, and will be on the ground as soon as re-
quired. Much of the stone has been received,
and the parties having the glass to make are
not behindhand. There is every reason for
stating that the structure will be completed
in due time, and that it will be one. of the
most attractive features of the Exposition.
BY the LIST Of July at least 1000 men will BIO
engaged on the Memorial building, all of whom
will be required to work fourteen hours day.

TEMPERANCE IN HIGHTsrowN.- Nearly
one year ago the Common Council of Nights
town, after fair fight at the polls ON the
question, refused to grant any license for the
sale of Intoxicating drinks. Disaster to bust
ness interests and reaction on the subject
of temperance was freely predicted, but the
town seems to have weathered the gales with
out any detriment to business, and according
to an article in the H5ghtstowp Gazette of last
week, the temperance cause has been
strengthened. The Gazette says:
We do not "insinuate !" but we assert that
for year intemperance in Hightstown has
been forced to sneak through back doors, hide
in hay mows, and groyel in hog pens
We consider.it to be the greatest of our
triumphs here that VIC have so degraded the
habit of drinking, that respectable men will
not practice it, and the young are not allurcd
by it. When in any community the question,
"Step up and take something" is changed to
"Let's buy quart and go round to the
barn." great advance is made in public
morals.
We agree with the Gazette that an advance
has been made in public morals when it is no
longer considered respectable to drink at a
public bar, and we accord to the Gazette a
large share of the credit due for bringing rum
drinking into disreputo in its town; and
while we are forced to admit that there is a
great deal in Freehold to complain of on the
score of intempcrance, yet it is not near so
bad as the picture drawn by the Gazette.
There has been marked advance here in
public morals on this question, of late years,
and rum drinking, especially in public, has
no longer the endorsement of the respectable
and influential classes as it had, to con-
siderable extent twenty years ago. We
should be glad to see the whole business Of
selling and drinking rum banished from our
community, but we are thankful for the pro-
grcss already made in that direction and hope

Nor NoTIFIED.-District Attorney
Keith informs us that in the assault
and battery case occasioned by the
squabble between Robt. Dixon and
the "heathen Chinee' noticed last is
sue, he received no notification Of the
arrest, and the case was put into the
hands Of Judge Putnam by the JUS
tice of the Peace before whom it was
tried. We took particular pains to
state the absence of Mr.. Keith, when
writing our item of the trial, for the
reason that we should dislike very
much to have it go forth that he had
committed the egregious blunder of
trying an interpreter in place of a
defendant. That little piece of legal
proceeding cost the county cool
800. We do not wish to be severe
or impolite, but cannot help thinking
it would be happy combination OF
circumstances that would lead sadly
deficient attorneys into more legit-
innate calling.

taken hold Of by Bishop Whitaker,

scription list was put in circulation
by Mr.. Jenvcy on Tuesday, headed
by the Bishop with his name and
$500 payable on demand. We have
not seen the list since yesterday morn
ing and do not know the amount now
subscribed, but understand that it
aggregates enough to warrant us in
saying that the movement cannotfail.
We do not see the need Of our
adding more words to urge the neces-
sity of the enterprise, as our citizens
seem determined to push it to sue
cessful issue. We shall take pleasure
in mentioning the list and its con-
tributors rs soon as the amount APP
proyimates the sum needed.

NIcKELs.-Some of these coins,
which are of the value of five
cents each, have found their way
to Phoebe. and for the purpose of
bringing them prominently before
the public, several young men
with no worse intent than deter
mination that they wouldn't go
home until morning, made raids
upon different saloons where the
delicious lager is dispensed to the
thirsty. and declaring that five
cents glass was the price for that
beverage, rendered nickels in pay
ment. One or two mixologists
demurred to such a proceeding,
but remembering that the majority
rules, they succumbed to numbers
and passed out the lager. The
affair produced much merriment,
and the nickels are preserved as
curiosities in this land of silver
bricks. - Phoebe journal.

pleasure in stating that his conduct
was most exemplary; he retired to

most earnest desire is that wo may

TEST CAsE.--A test case of the Ne
vada "Quackery Law" is to come up
to-day before Justice Cox, of Storey
county. DIR. A. B. Spinney, we'll
known physician, is the defendant in
the action, he having refused to file
his diploma for the special purpose,
it is presumed, of testing the consti-
nationality of the law. By the text of
the law no physician is allowed to
practice medicine in the State, unless
he can produce a physicians diplo-
ma OF has been practicing physi-
clan in Nevada for the past ten years.
We are of the opinion of DIR. Spinney
as to the unconstitutionality of the
law, and believe the Supreme Court
will so decide if it is brought before
them. The clause making discrim-
ination in favor of physicians who
have been resident in the State, and
debarring others from practice who
have not, seems queer and unjust
one. If the object of the law was to
prevent malpractice and quackery,
it would seem that the saving clause
for old Nevada physicians is most
thoroughly against its true spirit. 1t
is we'll that the matter is to be tested
thus early, as it will settle at once "a
question of, to say the least, very
doubtful legislation.
