The London newspapers give particulars Of tho
sudden death Of Mr.. William Cobbett barrister.
He was son of the great William Cobbett and
seems to have inherited the pugnacous disposition
of his father who was never so happy as when in
hot water. The late Bairister Goblet was firmly
OF the opinion that Arthur Orion the convict, was
really and truly Sir Roger Tchbome. most sensible
people being of contrary mind and Goblet, with
characteristic enthusiasm, esroused the cause of his
proteg6. and spent his money without stint in pro-
noting it. One can imagine with what ardor old
William would have taken up such u case, and what
inlumerable pamphlets and newspaper articles he
would have written and published about it-how he
would have libelled the judges. hammered the aris-
tocracy, piloricd the lawyers and lampooned the
juries 1t would have been great godsend to the

According to Senator Sargent even the Life
Saving Service has been degraded by political
appointments, and men are not chosen for their
fitness. This is a serious charge, which Sen
ator ought not to make, and probably would
not make, without evidence; and, if tie Life
Saving Service has been rendered inefficient
in any respect in this way, Senator Sargent
should back up his accusation with proof.

This Congressman Scales, of North Caro-
lima, is another Of these insolent Confederate
Brgadiers, who consider a pardoned traitor as
far superior to any man whose loyalty never
wavcred. Because Mr. joyce, who was a
brave Union soldier, was born i'll Eng
land, Mr.. Scales must offer up hypo-
critical thanks that such. sentiments as
those Mr.. Joyce expressed in speaking
of the Mexican pension bill did not come
from ga native-born son of America" IL
would be of no use to suggest TO this unre-
pentant rebel that Il man who riskcd bis HE
to save the country which had adopted HIM

who sought to betray the land which gave
him birth. Mr.. Scales seems to be one OF the
worst of the lot. and he has inherited what

Announcement.

The Middletown Transcript makes the
following announcement:
Mr.. John Pyle, familiarly known as
"Sheriff" throughout the county, will
soon permanently locate at New Gas
tie, where lie will at all times be glad
to see bis friends. The house is one of
the oldest in the county and needs no
recommendation, particularly by those
who have been there. It's popularity
is evidenced by the fact that those Who
register generally make a heightened
stay, and Mr.. Pyle gives the public ev :
nv assurance that the house will be
kept up to its former standard of ex-
celpnce. and that his guests will have
no more cause to find fault with him as
a caterer than they have founa with
their former g,1ibb. Though somewhat
crowded at the present time, Mr.. Pyle
will manage to arrange his apartments
for the accommodation Of future guests.
The gymnasium in the ear Of the hOusr
will still be maintained for the amuse-
ments of the patrons of the house, and
many other little side rrcreations will
offer themselves. "br terms will be ar.
ranged by the Judges Of N" Court and
will be- as reasonable as at any other
similar house.

Mr.. Richardson, the patsntee u the

Mendenhall & Johnson, Of this city, are
manufacturing, visited this Office to-
day. From him We learn that our
townsman Mr.. W. 7. Shoemaker has
purchased the right under his patents
for the State of Indians. This speaks
we'll for his invention. Mr. Shoemaker
being a brother-in. law of the Messrs.
Mendenhall. has had good opportunities
to Judge of the merits and cost of pro-
ducing stone and pipe| and would
hardly have embarked in the business
IL b. had not been thoroughly convic-
ted Of the utility of the patent. Mr..
Richardson informs us that he has
several States yet that are not sold and
that several more Of our Chester men
are negotiating for territory. We do
not wonder at it when we learn how
cheap stone and pipe can be produced.
Stone steps like the fine set which
Mendenhall & Johnson had on exhibi-
tion at the county fair they are selling
for tl2 Those made out ofthe natural
stone would cost from 425 to $50 per
set; if cut from marble they would cost
nearly double that amount. The net
profit to the firm after furnishing these
steps at $l2 per. set is fully 100 per
oant Manufacturers generally consider
that il they make 10 per cent. profit on
their goods they are doing u fine
business, so that when one has a chance
to secure good legitimate patent on a
business that will warrant from so to 100
per cent. profit, it is not surprising that
business men should desire to negotiate
for territory. N '# F

give outlines which a reporter can

the following:
A gentleman, q merchant on Market

which frequ.ntsd the stable and prem

whom We shall call Kssne, and both

When the kittens got old enough Mr..
Smith removed the blackest Of them 10

K. found all the kittens missing. BY
inquiry he ascertained that Mr.. 8. had
given the remaining two 10 neighbors
down town. This, Of course, did not
make Mr.. X. fee, very pleasant, in fact
he felt rebellious, and the first time the
black kitten came back 70 his stable he
appropriated II IN his own use, taking
IL out to his residence in the western

residence, and pretending TO be very

Th~ o00th CesspaPessens of the Cees

e10u.
On Saturday morning week ago 1t
was discovered that the waste pipes
from underneath the south compart
m.nt Of ths Cool Spring Reservoir, were
discharging rather an unusual quantity
Of water, which led 10 the superstition
that the basin Was leaking. rhs basin
had only been filled about three or four
days previous 70 that time, and II was
surmised that the heavy pressure Of
water hsd caused a settlement in some
parts of the embankmeR;s where fresh
material had been supplied to I'LL up
some breaks that had been made.
The water was Immediately shut of,
and measures taken to empty the basin,
to ascertain where the leakagss were
located. The emptying process has
been going on for the last nine days
and this morning there were about 3
feet Of water in the basin which will be
entirely empty about tomorrow at
noon. As the water disappeared grad
ually down the sides ofthe basin cracks
IN the brick csmentei lining b-ganI
to disclose themselves. One at the
north east corner extended from the
water up nearly to the top Of the ba'
sin on the west embankment. Another
crack extending horizontally was found
at the south west corner, and still an
other extended around the curve be
tween two rows of br .cks about half
way down the lining at the southeast
corner. s4--- ....s.r .Ns. aE4 J
Besides these cracks, q assure was
discovered this morning between the
rows Of brick at the edge OF the water
on the south side along Tenth street.
This fssure extended from the south
west cornerabout half way along the
The extent of these IN
Juries cannot BE- ascertained until the
basin il entirely clear of water, which
will be tomorrow. Mr.. Carpenter, Ma
or Canby's assistant engineer, who
was early at the basin this morning in
formed q Representative Of the RRpuBLI-
CAN also early upon the ground, that
these cracks and assures occurred only
where new clay had been puddled in
the embankments, and that they were
caused in his estimation by the settling
of the new work, the old enibankment
having already settled all II could, and
made the cracks andopenings.
He thought that the long tssure
along Tenth street might have been
caused by the settling of a pebbled
ditch tina. had been dug along the base
OF the lining on Tenth street. He
thinks the injury is only superficial
and may be essily remedied. What
ever expense must be incurred for re-
pairs upon the basin, which it is hoped
will rot be heavy, will have to be borne
by the city, as the Water Commissions
ers have settled in full with the con.
tractors and art led the basin on be-
half of tn" ~. BY the time the iron
fence is placed around the basin and |
other improvements which are either
underway or in contemplation are con

sin and laying Of pipes will be about
