DAIRY HousE.-On our first page will be
improved Dairy House designed and built by
Eastburn Reeder Of Solebury, Pa. This
dairy house is believed to be the most perfect
and economical of any yet in use, and Mr..
Reeder has received some very strong endorse
ments of its value. at the late exhibition If
the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society,
at Easton, he was awarded solid silver
medal for this design. The medal is a large
and handsome one, having the coat-of-arms of
the state and name of the society on one side,
and on the other the words Easton, 1874,
Easbum Reeder, . Combined Ice and Dairy
House." The medal was cast at the United
States Mint.

For TIM RECORD


Judging from the notices in the press, there
will be some propositions before our Legisla
ture to amend our city Charter, and judging
from the rumors prevalent, one of the main
objects is to have some change in reference to
the mode of granting licenses.
think it will be generally conceded that
the power ought to be taken away from the
Common Council, for the reason that those
who are chosen to administer the Offices OF our
city, and who have SO many and great inter-
ests committed to their keeping, ought not to
be elected on the license question alone, as
they invariably win be while that power is
comn1ltteti 10 their hands. II Z
Take the power away from them and the
tendency would be to elect as members of the
Common Council only those qualified for the
trust, and who have an interest in the welfare
and prosperity of our city.
1t is also qnite important that the question
oflicense should not enter even indirectly into
our annual city election.
TO obviate these objections, / would sug-
gest that the licensing of inns and taverns
ale and lager beer saloons, and wholesale liq-
uor Dealers be left to men chosen specially
called an excise board, which shall consist of
four members, one to be elected from each
Ward, and one at large (who would be Chair
NAM SO that each voter can vote for one men,
Der from his particular Ward, and one at
large and let the election for that purpose
be held in the month of March.
This plan gives Ward representation and
also representation by popular vote of the
whole city. 1t is democratic and would d.
vorce tie vexed question from the ordinary
administration of our city affairs.
The cost of the special election would be as
nothing compared with the good results that
would flow from It, CITIZEN,

gB- The Holiday week passed of quite
creditably in New Hope. We are aware of
no arrests, no thefts, and there was less of the
predominance of liquors, which we have hith-
erto SO often noticed during the Holidays
While hard-times is being credited with a
due proportion of stealing and other crimes,
it should at the same time be merited by the
peaceably disposed citizens of New Hope for
the excellent services rendered ON this ocea-
sion, in keeping order in the streets and per-
petuating that gladness in many family
which cometh not from the cup g

MARROW EscAPE.-0ne day last week,

Johns, in New Hope, narrowly escaped death
by the discharge of gun in his own hand
The gun mad been borrowed few days pre-
vious to the occurrence and had been returned
loaded. A few daysafter, Mr.. Johns, who, by
the way, is of a jovial disposition, thought
Of having q little amusement at Samuel
Matthews expense. When about drawing
the gun from the corner it came in contact
with an iron safe and was instantly discharg-
ed. The gull-barrel was in an alarming prox-
unity to Mr. US head and the plastering #
the ceiling was much shattered. The whole
affair may be considered q miraculous escape,
for if the gun had not been discharged in the
above described manner the result might have
been fatal.
