A DEAD PosrOFFICE.-Whil rid
ing up Reese River Valley with
stubs last week, he pointed his fin
ger across the valley and said:
lover yonder is Washington; it's
on this mail route; there used to be

master got killed and they buried
MIN with his clothes on. The key
OF the postofflce was in his breeches'
pocket, and when they buried him
.ney buried the whole postoffice,
and its q dead letter Office now."--

tB Mr.. j. A. Bachman has got his railroad
track in working order and is now using it to
convey stone from his quarry on Prospect
Hill, in the lower part of this city, to the
canal feeder, whore the stone is loaded into
boats. A wire cable revolving around drum,
let's down loaded car and draws up an empty
one at the same time. A few days ago the
brake on the drum gave way, owing to de
fective piece of iron, and car ran down the
grade rather rapidly and landed in the boat
that was being loaded at the canal. A double
brake has now been put on, and there is hard
ly possibility of similar accident occur
ring. Owing to this mishap, the Street Com
mittee required Mr.. B. to give bonds in the
sum of S., 600 as indemnity to the city in case
of damage by accident. Mr.. B. thinks this is
piling on the restrictions pretty thick, and
that it tends to discourage business in the
city by throwing obstacles in the way of men
who try to give employment to workingmen.
We do not think, however, that the Street
Committee wish to do anything Of this kind
only to protect the city from responsibility
in case of accident although the indemnity
asked is pretty high.
Mr.. B. is now shipping some paving stone
to Philadelphia, and has the prospect for some
large orders for building stone. We hope that
he may be successful in his undertaking, as it
will not only be benefit to him but to the
city. He has quarry which produces some
very fine granite and we see no reason why it
cannot be worked successfully.

A LITTLE MIsTAKE.--The Mount Holly
Mirror says, Rev. Mr.. Braislin, of the Baptist
Church, in this town, was somewhat sur
prised on Sunday morning when he went to
church to find his pulpit occupied by strang-
er After kindly greeting, little explana-
ton followed when the stranger picked up hat
and coat and departed, evidently somewhat
embarrassed. 1t seems that young gen.
tleman from Princeton, who had been engaged
to fill the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church,
friend drove him out here on Sunday morning
in time for service, but landed him at the
wrong church. After his amusing adventure,
he reached his designation in due season and
oficiated for his Presbyterian friends. He
will not be likely to repeat the mistake dur
ing his ministerial career.

1890 P. NJ, Palestine Commandery, No. 4,
Knight Templars, of Trenton, arrived in this
city, and paraded through the principal
streets, headed by Peterman's splendid band.
They numbered forty, and their unique drill
and evolutions, their handsome uniform and
manly appearance, attracted general atten-
ton. After the parade, the Commandery and
number of invited guests sat down to an ex-
cellent dinner, prepared by Mrs. Moore, of the
Lambertville House. At 8 o'clock the body
marched to New Hope and proceeded in car
riages to Beaumont Deer Park and the Trout
Ponds. As our paper is made up before the
conclusion of their visit we are unable to give
further particulars in this issue. The Knights
appeared to be pleased with their reception
and their friends here are equally pleased tc
have them in our city.

SMoTHERED TO DEATH.-Early on last
Saturday morning, the body of Mr.. George
Staafnats, an aged citizen of this city, was
found burned to crisp, in the woods short
distance from the residence Of Mr. Andrew
Holcombe, mile and half above this place.
It appears that Mr.. Staamats had been en-
gagged on Friday morning in burning brush on
his son-inlaw's lot, in that vicinity, and, it is
supposed, lay down under some trees in the
adjoining woods at noon to take nap. The
fire from the brush communicated to the dry
grass, ETC., and spread over the field and also
over some acres Of the woods in which he was
found. 1t is believed that he was smothered
to death by the smoke before the fire reached
him. In the afternoon Mr.. Holcombe and Mr..
Pierson r. Niece found the woods on fire, and
fought the fire until they had put it out, but
did not discover the body of Mr.. S. Not
coming home to supper in the evening, Mr..
VIM. Emit his son-in.la law, went in search Of
him, but could not find him. Early on Satur-
day morning, he again went in search of him
and found the body in Mr.. Holcombe's woods,
as above related. It was brought to the resi-
dence of DIR. @. H. Larson, in this city, one
of our county coroners, where an inquest was
held. The body was terribly burned, but
there were no indications by distortions OF
countenance or otherwise that he had been
conscious at the time. When found, he lay
on his back, at full length, and no marks of
any struggle were evident. These with other
facts led the coroner's jury, Of which Mr..
Chas. B. Knowles, was foreman, to render a
verdict of death from suffocation.
Mr.. Staamats was about seventy-three years
old. He was buried on Saturday afternoon,
it being impossible to delay the interment
longer ON account of the condition of the
body.

PARIS, May 1S.-In the Assembly, to-
day, Minister DeFaure submitted a bill
regulating the relations between public
powers. II provides that the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies shall meet annually
in January and sit at least five months in
the year. The President Of the Repub-
lie may communicate with the Chambers
BY message. The Chambers are obliged to
reconsider any decision if the President
makes a request to that effect. The Pres
ident and members can be impeached only
by the Chamber Of Deputies aud must be
tried by the Senate.
NJ. DuFaure also introduced a bill rela
tive to the organization Of the Senate. It
provides that the elections for Senators
shall be ordered by a decree, which must be
issued six months before the day appointed
for the holding thereof
A motion was made by the Minister that
the bills be referred TO the committee Of
thirty.
The Left opposed the motion and urged
that the bills be referred to a special com
mittee.
NJ. Dufaure's motion was defeated,
whereuBOn N. Batbie announced that the
! Committee Of Thirty resigned their func-
tiOns.
n. LabOulye, a member Of the Commit
tee of Thirty, objected, on the ground that
| N. Batbie had no right to tender the resig-
nation Of the entire committee.
The President Of the Assembly declared
| that the committee should first meet and
consider the subject, and those Of its mem
bers who propose TO resign should notify
the presiding officer Of the Assembly Of
| their intention.
NJ. Dufaure informed the house that the
defeat of his motion would not be consider
ed a Cabinet question.
