The members of tile Temperance Reform
Club in this city, recently adopted blue rib
bon as badge of membership. One or two
beer sellers and their customers put on these
badges in ridicule, but as it didn't appear to
have any very oppressive effect on the Club,
we learn that they have now adopted red
ribbon. We like this great deal better
All that they now need in order to make the
badge perfectly appropriate Is skull and
cross bones on it.
While getting into service at the fire last
evening, the Aquetong steamer blew up her
air chamber, thus putting the engine out of
service for time. The accident occurred by
the acting engineer forgetting to open the
stop-cock leading to the hose. The explosion
knocked down the engineer, but did him no
serious damage.

REV. A. Armstrong, of Easton, formerly
of this city, met with very sad affection on
the Gath ult., in the loss of his daughter EN-
ma, young lady of more than ordinary nat
ural abilities and accomplishments. The fune-
raj, on Wednesday of last week, was largely
attended and remarks were made on the oc-
casion by pastors of various churches, in
Easton, who showed their warm sympathies
ON the occasion.

Some of the members of the Council are
guilty of double dealing. When it was charg-
ed last Spring that the ordinance was chang
ed so that the present Council could grant
license for two years, certain Councilmen
stoutly denied any such intention, and some
of them even up to a recent date declared
their determination not to grant second Ii
cense during the present term. Then they
stultiied themselves and voted solid, like
flock of sheep.
"A petition lover 20 feet long, from eight
hundred and sixty-three citizens, against the
present Council granting licenses, was present.
ed to the Council at their meeting on last
Monday evening, but the recommendation of
the sixty or seventy signers to the license pc
titons outweighed all these in the estimation
of six members of Council.
-Messrs. Ely, Arnett and Moore, of the
Third Ward, battled nobly for fair dealing
and temperance at the Council meeting on
last Monday evening. The official report of
the proceedings is necessarily so lengthy
that we have not room for any report of their
remarks, or for those of members on the 9TH
er side of the question. 1t would prove in
teresting reading.
We are told that an official visitation was
made by some of our councilmen on Monday
night to the newly licensed hotels, and that
it was four o'clock in the morning before
some of them reached their virtuous touches.
No doubt they will be able to certify to the
man and beast. Unfortunately, when men
become beasts at these places, they are kicked
out, instead of being entertained.
The " three Irfshmen from the First
Ward, as our friend Councilman Smith re-
Gently called them in Council meeting-(he
meant Mr.. Patrick Hunt, Mr. Patrick Barron,
and Mr.. Patrick Smith --didn't do exactly
right on Monday night, and they know it,
They know we have taken considerable pride
in the First Ward (where we have the honor
to reside) and in the proper discharge of their
duties as Councilmen. We cannot commend
them hereafter il they don't repent of their
misdeeds in the double-shuffle Of licensing for
two terms when they were elected for only
one. A first-warder ought to be above such
trickery.
MIR. John A. Kutter of this city, died
very suddenly yesterday Tuesday afternoon.
He was at his work in the morning, but at
noon felt unwell and called at the Office of
DIR. L. G. Rice for professional advice. The
Doctor being engaged with other patients, he
stepped out of the door and was fonnd by the
DOCTORS hired man lying on the pavement in
