A SINGULAR case is now before

A SINGULAR case Is now before the
courts in Washington county, New
York. In 1867 the Legislature of that
State passed an Act authorizing the
village Of Fort Edward. bya majority
vote, to raise $50, 900 to donate to the
Glen Falls Railroad to secure the ex-
tension of the road to the village. A
vote was taken and it was decisrvely in
favor Of the donation. The road was
built, bnt the village refused to raise
the money, and now the company have
applied tor ii mandamus to compel it
to do so. The people of Fort Edward
deny the regularity of the vote, aud by
afiidavits allege that while majority OF
the votes polIed were given in favor of
the subsidy, the total number Of votes
was II minority of the legal voters of
the village This allegation surprised
the counsel for the railroad mpauy,
and upon his motion the further hear
ing Of the case was postponed.

I There is prospect that Pittsburg will sooI
be rid other smoke by discarding soft coal ant
substituting natural gas for fuel. A dispatcl
of Nov Sth says:
! There is considerable STIR al present among
the manufacturers of Pittsburg over the pro
iect of supplying the iron mills, and in fac
factories of all Kinds, with gas fuel from TIT
great natural wells of Butler county, situated
some 20 miles from this city. Already this
gas has been conveyed by means OF castiror
pipes to two large iron mills distant from The
city five miles, and on to-day these manufac
tories are furnished with more fuel than they
can possibly use This practical test at once
settled the question of doubt as to the pres
sure at the well beng great enough 10 force
| it so long distance.
The greatest well in the district, TO which
a large pipe is now being laid, Is called the
Barns well. The escaping gas roars so loud
that it is impossible to carry on conversa
ton near the well. The pressure Is so great
that all attempts to test 1t have failed, and il
is found absolutely impossible to confine the
gas. The roar from this well is so distinct
that on still night it may be heard dis
lance of Is miles.
The Delamater well, mile from the 9th
er one, is believed to be greater than the
Barns. Its casing is six inches in diameter,
with which are connected two threench
pipes, conducting the gas some distance from
the well. Here, again, the pipes are united,
and the gas forms a huge tongue of flame per
haps 40 feet in height, giving forth loud
roar that can be heard miles away. A large
number of stores, public houses, and dwell
lings throughout great territory are lighted
with gas from these wells, while here and
there little pipes stand up shedding light
over the streets and by-ways.
It's said the Barns well can furnish the
equivalent Of thirty thousand bushels of coal
every day, and when the main pipe line is
laid other gas wells will be tapped that will
likely increase the product to one hundred
thousand barrels. It's expected to have the
main line-a pipe of eight lnches-laid and
complete within four months.
The Imagination is likely to run away with
one in discussing this gas subject However,
it may be SAID in all soberness that If the pro-
iect realizes what is anticipated of it, all our
principal manufactures will in year or two
be run by gas. The effects of such course
in Pittsburg are almost impossible to esti-
mate. Production will be SO much cheap
ened here that this city's supremacy will be as
sured and an export trade of gr' at import
ance be built up. From oot-begrlmed peo-
pie we would become clean and tidy and
rs our neighhors to the east or west
of us; and then, besides, We would lose for
ever that hated name of the Smoky city.
There are people who have substantial faith
in the ultimate success OF this gas business,

An Unhealthy Place,

We have within the past week been re-
quested by various parties to call the at
tention Of the authorities to the pond OF
water lying back of Poplar street. be-
tween Twcnty-iirst and Twcnty-second
streets, which the people residing in that
neighborhood are anxious should be got
rid Of In some way. The water, they say,
accumulated in the pond during the re-
cent stage Of high water, and that when
it IAN out of the other places, 1t still re-
manned In this particular spot, because OF
its having no outlet. The water having
stood SO long beneath the hot sun, has
become stagnated, anu throws out a very
disagreeable and unhealthy odor, which
the people fear will breed sickness in
their midst.
