the statement. and no officer stands high

A Coon SHOWING.-One of the best ev-
licences of the efficiency and vigilance Of the
police force Of the city is the complete stag
nation of CT iminal business. Noswithstand-
ing the intensely cod weather and the
amount Of want, even destitation, which
prevails, not Il single case of petty stealing
has been reported. Not long ago several
money-drawers were robbed. and although
the clue in each case was very slight. the
officers succeeded in recovering the money
and securing the thieves. So faithfully do
they perform their duty. and so ndefatiea-
BILE arc their efforts to bring offenders to
justice, that the Police Court. once SO pro-
life Of locals, has ceased to afford any'at-
traction for newspaper men, and the light
fingered fraternity have come to the concu-
sion that work is cheaper than stealing, in
the long run.

Our own beautiful Valley is Il portion Of
the Great Central Appalachian Valley that
extends for hundre Is of miles from Canada
to Alabama broad belt of rolling country,
enclosed. between lofty mountain ranges, di-
versified by hills and valleys, with many
winding streams of water. The Blue Ridge
is on the east, and the Kitatinny, or END

bold outline of the Blue Ridge the long
uniform lines of the Ktatinny mountains
and the high knobs that rise up between
them in the distance: the detached ranges

Gcations-all these for the outline, filled up
with park-like forests. well cultivated farms

The Appalachian country is made up OH
number of parallel mountain chains, VIII
trough-like valleys between tllem.tlle noun

Sometimes the mountains die out and TN

is great variety OF surface.

NEW LIGHT.

1t begins to look very much as though
gas, tor illuminating purposes, would soon
be reckoned among the things OF the past,
and have to take Its place among whale oil
lamps and penny dips. There has been
much SAID OF late about the new electric
light which is now being used in some of
the public places of Paris, and the follow
ing extract from an article in the New
York Tribune shows that this new illumi-
mating agent has been introduced, with i'm
portant improvements, in New York. Says
the Tribune:
A practical application of the electrical
light for general illuminating purposes has
been made by j. b. Fuller in this city. The
burners dispense with all clock work and
movable parts. A small piece Of glass is
bound ON the side Of two sticks of carbon and
adjusted in an oblique position. The space
| between the sticks of carbon is free for the
| flow of the electric arc, which adds greatly te
the volume of light. The machine itself II

of a small engine, an armature, made OF soi
iron bound by fine copper wire, Is caused u

mechanism employed for maintaining .
