Mr.. F. Ii. Dreaming, State Agent for
the Sale of lands granted TO Kansas by
The United States, has sent statement
to the Kansas Senate in response TO the
resolution of inquiry, in which he says
that records of the Office were clumsily
kept by the predecessors that cons'd-
cradle sum of money is apparently still
due the State from said predecessors on
account of sales Of land, and that it is
impossible for him to tell from the re-
cords how much of the land yet remains
unsold. These statements will probably
lead to an investigation.

Woods are in great danger of becoming
so many upologists of this ancient and

We shall urge our friends in the next

gone by in which any Northern man
will fail to avail himself of the inaliena-

General Sheridan states in precise
figures the number of murders and
maimings in Louisiana on account OF
political opinions since 1866, and the
total foots up 1886. With this terrible
record OF crime placed before them, how
can honest men claim that Louisiana can
govern itself and there is no occasion for
the interference of the strong arm OF the
government 1886 men have been sac
rifced on the altar OF Southern hate,
and yet there are some people even IN
the North that think Sheridan perpe-

( To THE EDITOR OF THE REcoRD:-I have
seen an article in your issue of Sept. LIST,
! from the pen of DR.. c. w. Larson, of Rim
goes, on the q Physical Geography of Hunter
don County, which, if it obtain credence, is
calculated to injurc seriously the interests of
this portion of the valley of the Delaware.
But being founded on false premises, its argu-
ments and deductions must necessarily fall.
Wrst.-The course Of the valley from Brook
vile to Wells Falls does not run from north
west to southeast, but its course is nearly
north and south between these two points.
Above Brookville it runs for some considera-
BILE distance more nearly as the Dr. states.
Second. y The prevailing winds are not as
stated a little S. of w. In the Winter, the
prevailing wind is N. w. except during pro-
tracted storms when its course is from the
N. E. In the Summer the wind blows AS
much from the N. W. as from any other
quarter. The prevailing wind during the
hottest season is south, and even when the
upper stratum is southwest the course of the
lower stratum though the valley is nearly from
the SOUTH the gap in the mountain through
which Wells Falls passes, giving it this direc,
ton. Again If the course of the valley and the
prevailing winds were such as the Dir. states,
the ravines entering it at Dark Hollow and Ing
hams Spring Creek, in New Hope, at Rapid
| [correct spellingl Run, Phillips Mills, and
Limeport, would form channels through
which the winds would enter the valley from
the west, and south west, and the ravines on
| tba ito e,1 M Sc
| York road and Alexsaulen Creek, in Lambert
| vile, and the creeks at Brookville and Pralls-
vile, would serve for their exit on the East,
and thus prevent stagnation.
| If the Dr. would come to Lambertvlle on
some dry, windy day, in Summer, or when
gust is passing over and through the valley,
the clouds of dust raised by the wind and
the walls of many housewife and laundress
over the soiled garments of recent washing
hanging on their lines to dry, would convince
him of his error. The fact is, there is no
stagnant air in the valley. A long experience
has demonstrated to me that the winds blow
quite as freely in the valley as on the surround
ing hills, and l can point out places in the
valley where the currents OF wind are much
stronger than on the hills. 81
| Now as to the effects. The Dir. asserts that
epdemics of "Scarlatina, Enteric Fever,
Cholera Infantunr, and the like prevail, here
and at Stockton more than ten fold more than
upon the neighboring hills This the physi
clans practicing in the valley, GALL of whom
have extensive practice on the surrounding
hills), most emphatically deny. They say

fB Atabout Al o'clock on last Thursday
morning the people of New Hope were startled
by an alarm Of Gre, which proved to be gen
.eral conhagration Of the interior. of the store
house and bakery of II. c. Toenniges. Mr..
T., bis brother, and workman, it appears
had been at work in the bakery until3 o'clock
in the morning, at which hour they all retired
to bed. At about 81 o'clock, ncighbor, wife
of Chas. Barron, living on the opposite side
of the street, noticed that said bakery was
quite luminous, unexplained this phenomena
by supposing that they were at work therein
A short time after she again awoke out of a
short nap and beheld the street lighted up
as with fire, and again looking in the direction
of the bakery, she saw huge flames which
at this period were playing fearful havoc in
that part of the building. She was very i'll,
(which fact accounted for her wakefulness)
and used what little strength she had in blow
ing small horn (Which had been placed by
her bedside) and arousing the inmates of her
house. BY the time the neighbors commenc-
ed shouting Fire Fire Fire ! =" in the
streets, Mr.. Toenniges and all the inmates
building, through doors, windows, &C., nearly
blinded and suffocated by smoke. The alarm
caused general excitement. The firemen of
both towns were aroused, and the neghbors
who collected could do but very little toward
staying the work of destruction that was go
ing on within the brick walls, and all the con-
tents save tin box containing Mr. IT'S mon
ey and few unimportant articles, were DOOM
ed to feed the flames. The Eagle" boys
however, speedily arrived, stationing their en-
CINE on the Iron Bridge, and were soon throw
ing water on the burning building. The en-
tire Fire Department of Lambertville was
soon after upon the ground, and by united eff
fort the fire was gotten under control, but the
contents, and the interior woodwork of the
building were either consumed or charred so
as to be unfit for future use. Fortunately the
building was covered with a flat tin roof which
held the flames in close confinement and freed
the surrounding buildings from the endanger-
ment of burning shingles. The building be-
longed to George Reinert, of Lambertville
and was insured in the Lahaska Fire Insurance
Co., for $1,000. Mr.. Toenniges was insured
| in the Hartford, of Connect lieut., for 5000,
which will little more than half cover losses
1t is thought that pile of wood lying in close
proximity to the oven in the bakery, by some
means caught fire, and led to the above conse-
quences. Mr.. T. Immediately after the fire
secured a temporary place in which to do his
bakery work, and that branch of his business
was not retarded in the least. We are inform
ed that Mr.. Reinert will have the building re-
constructed as soon as arrangements are COM
pletcd with the Insurance Company.

GB An attempt to get three of our promi-
nent citizens indicted at the present term Of
Court, for pretended technical violation of
the law prohibiting officials from being con-
cerned in contracts, etc., failed, it appears
but the effort shows the malignity Of certain
persons concerned in it. There is no pretence
on the part of these men that any actual
wrong had been done--on the other hand, the
contracts = were highly advantageous to the
city-but because these men have been active
temperance men and have used their efforts
to have the laws indicated, efforts are made
to harrass and intinidate them. These Efforts
have not been confined to these three cases,
however. 1t appears to be settled plan Of
the whiskey-adyocates to carry their opposi-
ton and indebtedness into business affairs,
and several men who claim to be respectable
and who are engaged in business, are encour-
aging (secretly, as they suppose) this kind of
retaliation. This kind of weapon is two
edged and viii cut both ways. These men
should understand that if the patronage of the
temperance people of this city is withrawn
from them, their ability to hoand-down others
will be materially lessened. 1t is best for all
concerned that this kind of fight be refrain
ed from.

tees OF the Public Schools of this city, a com.
mittee was appointed, on the recommendation
OF the Principal to take into consideration the
crowded condition of the Hill School AT
their recommendation, the Board has Just
adopted the plan of having the boys in the
two lower glasses attend only in the forenoon
and the girls in the same classes attend only
in the afternoon. OF course, this arrange
mentis only temporary, and will cease when the
new school-house is completed. 1t is the best
that the Board can do under the circumstances,
and it is to be hoped that the parents will see
the reasonableness of the plan. The crowded
condition of the school shows the Importance
of the early completion of the Third Ward
school house.
