The Picnic.

Last Thursday several ladies and gen. tlemen, of this town and vicinity, visited Taunton Lake, and enjoyed fine picnic and dance in the grove fitted up recently by Mir. Charles Briscoe. The whole number that were present was one hun dred many of these being the guests of the Grand Central Hotel The day and evening was spent in delightful enjoy ment. One of the features being the dancing with music furnished by the Cold Spring Quadrille Band. There were eatables in abundance, and those who attended say that in every particu- lar it was the best picnic of the season. Mr. will Bennett, Mr. E. F. Hawley, MT. F. Marble, and others, had the manage ment of the affair, assisted by several young ladies' Several gentlemen from Bridgeport, among them w. W. Savage, R. M. Parsonsl and MT.

Street Improvements.

Last week MT. Charles H. Peck com menced grading in front of his house. assisted by Mr. Farrel, who works the turnpike for the Turnpike company. The lowering of the road in front of MT. Peck s house, and carting of the dirt to the cen tre has made 8 marked improvement in the general appearances of the street in the vicinity of the church, the front of which has been partly graded. It is greatly to the advantage, not only to the appearance of the street, but to the property, and we hope to see the good work continued on both sides of the street, the entire length of it. We believe that the Turnpike com pany does part of the work without charge. We trust that residents of the village will consent to and cooperate in these improvements. -

A Disaster.

One day last week two gentlemen, who reside near Lake Side Farm, went to Bridgeport to purchase some articles, and were returning home, when suddenly smoke was seen issuing from the carriage, and a hurried investigation proved that there was something beside smoke-one of the gentlemen was on fire. nasty grab landed the meIchandi SC out on the ground, and the fire extinguished, which proved to be'the ulster of Eli which had accidentally caught fire from some matches carried in the pocket. The car riage seat was slightly damaged. Our worthy Postmaster suggests that the next time that these gentlemen embark on a voyage that they take along a fire ex- tinguiSher.

LOCAL JOTTINGS.
THE CAUSE OF OUR DELAY.

Owing to the lateness of our issue this week, we are compelled to leave out several letters and other interesting arti- cles, which we will publish next week Our delay was occasioned by the non- arrival of the paper from New York in time. The paper which should have reached this office last Friday, did not come until Monday noon. To this was added the loss of the services of one of our employees, whose brother died We'd nesday, and as VIC could not get extra help, our issue is unusually late. Our friends will bear with us, as the delay was the result of circumstances over which we had no control.

No other sport or exercise has ever enjoy.
ed equal popular favor. Many years ago
upwards Of forty years-occurred the first
great feat Of pedestrianism in the United
States. 1t was that at Hoboken, when Ro-
bert l.. Stephens, of steamboat fame, and
the most conspicuous millionaire Of his
day, offered a handsome purse for compe-
tition among runners, to be awarded to the
one who should run ten miles within one
hour. A half-dozen contested the palm
or the sole and among them an Indian Of
superior feetness among his tribe-there-
fore called "Deerfoot." Skilled and trained
English pedestrians also commended for the
prize. But an American, a native of
New York City, of ancient Dutch ancestry,
was the victor. The name of John Glider
sleeve long stood at the head of pedestrian
achievements. He was the champion Of
long distance runners. But in time he
was beaten by Jackson, a tough little Eng
lishman, who called himself the "Ameri-
can Deer" and from that time the star Of
Gildersleeve went down. His last defeat
was in a run of seventeen miles, with Bar
low and another competitor-both of them
English-against him, and he finished a
poor third. Jackson soon after astonished
the sporting werld by running eleven miles
within the hour. And over in England,
while George Steward, an American, was
%outrunning and out walking all COMPETE
tors for short distances, Maxwell, a sturdy
native of the tight little Island" eclipsed
all long-distance runners by finishing twen-
ty honest miles in less than two hours. Yet,
walking for days had long before been a
feat not uncommon in England. The most
celebrated accomplishment of the kind was
that of Captain Barclay, who walked one
thousand miles in one thousand hours.
1t is this order of pedestrianism which now
absorbs popular attention, and it is more
attractive to the multitude, and to nearly
every class, than any other, as things go.

silver Hi District.

We have lately given several items about
the new l X L district. 1t appears that the
district was originally called Silver Hill.
A Churchill correspondent, writing to the
Silver State, says: "Of late there is quite
a mining excitement springing up about
twenty miles from Saltwater, in the old
Silver Hill district. This district is one
Of the oldest in the State. Years ago, long
before the White Pine or Reese River ex-
elements, Silver Hill was being prospected
for the precious metals, but the rush to
the new camps caused this one, of minor
importance. to be abandoned, and for years
it has not heard the report Of a blast or
received the probe Of a miners pick. This
summer, however, some people from Eu-
reka have come back to the old camp, and
bid fair to realize handsomely from their
undertaking. Several lodges have been re-
located and some new ones prospected."

In the Miners, Hands.

The recent accident in Bodie leads the
Gold Hill News to ventilate incompetent
engineers, and it says the utmost caution
should always be maintained, so that the
lives of miners should not be trified with
or risked unnecessarily. There are enough
OF them killed underground through their
own carelessness or unforeseen accidents
and incidents, peculiar to the always dan
gerous nature Of their occupation, without
increasing their chances of death or injury
through the incompetency of the engineers
employed at the shafts, where the greater
proportion of fatal accidents occur. This
is a subject for the miners themselves to
consider, and a proposition which could
be easily carried into effect by the Miners
Unions themselves. The miner is at the
mercy of the mechanic. Thousands of
miners daily risk their lives to the compe-
tency of a few engineers, and the power
lies with them to place one but compe-
tent, watchful and trustworthy engineers
on duty.

The seth annual report for 1878 OF the

details were given respecting the distribu-
ton of the Jews all over the world. The
total number of the Hebrew race to-day is
about what it was in the time Of King David
between six and seven millions. There
are in Europe, according to the latest sta
t~istical information, about 5000, 600; in
Asia, 500, 900 in Africa, over so, 600 in
America from a million to a million and a
half. More than half of the European Jews

France and more than in Italy, Spain. Per-

between the Mohammedans and Christians.
OF the Asiatic Jews, 90. 900 are assigned to
India and % ,000 to Palestine. The popula-
ton of Jerusalem is given at 7, 200 Moham-
medans, 5000 Christians and 10, 500 Jews.
These last are classified as German. Span

an invitation for proposals to build the

angle iron ribs, three inches wide. The
bottom of the cells will be quarter-inch
IRON plates, riveted to the angle iron hold

The slight accident to his hand, met by
Mr.. Robert Gibson some weeks ago, has not
only caused him intense suffering, but YES
terday morning nearly resulted in his
death. He awoke early in the morning to
find that the liberation had eaten into an
artery, and the blood was flowing in a
stream from his arm. The prompt action
OF Mr.. Hillhouse, who was called in, I'M
doubtedly saved his life, as the flow Of
blood was checked by means Of a bandage
drawn tightly, through the leverage Of a
stick. Drs. Rockman and Thoma were
called in and succeeded in tying the artery.
Mr.. Gibson is naturally weak, from the
loss OF blood, but is not considered in any
danger.

Improvement In the silver Market.

Says the San Francisco Stock Report
A bit OF good news for silver miners comes
from London. 1t is that the silver market
is improving in consequence Of a strong
demand for India, which is expected to
still further increase as the shipping sea-
son advances. The working OF ores, which
are all silver and low grade combination
ores, is seriously interfered with by the
present discount on silver, and an ad vance
OF a few pence per ounce in the price Of
silver would be q great stimulus to mining
In Nevada, and would tend to largely en-
nance the bullion yield Of that State, and
render dividends possible from mines
which now require assessments to keep
e from shutting down.
