COAsTING.

As coasting seems to be the subject of
comment in our little village, no doubt a
few remarks on its social enjoyment will
be agreeable to all friends and neighbors.
Mr.. Andrew Reuters hill, being the
spot selected for this occasion, suits the
fancy OF many Of our citizens who par
take IN the enjoyment, as 1t Is In our i'm
mediate Incorporation. At the foot of
this well provided slope there is maa-
dow which. by the recent storms in Oc-
tober last, was overfiowed consequent
ly 1t affords beautiful and convenient
skating park. Those enjoying coasting,
while descending this hill, strike the
beautiful pond of ice and go swiftly glid-
ing over Its Icy waters at rapid speed
for distance of several hundred yards.
There IL also ON this pond a flying Jen-
ny, which is well patronlzed by the
many anxious bodies to partake of its
rapid transit. To this flying Jenny
there Is horse attached to one end Of
the beam and sleigh to the other. TINS
sleigh suits twO persons conveniently and
travels around circle of three hundred
yards in 7 seconds, making one mile in
az seconds.
On Friday last as one of our citizens,
Mr.. Clayton Riley was passing by this
scene OF excitement over coasung, con-
cluded to take hand in the sport to re-
mind him Of his more youthful days.
Quickly he steps forward to one of the
boys and asks for the loan of sled and
to his surprise there was another ciuzen,
Mr.. A. Reuter-, speaks out, ~ goes
along" So they loaded themselves on
the sled and away they went at light
ming speed, but to their disappointment
| the ride was Interrupted by AN obstruc-
tion, and quickly the course of the slid
ing vehicle was changed and over they
| went tumbling, bringing up rather sud
denly. Mr.. Riley, however, concluded
| TO q We 1t one moro trial, as he Is always
inclined towards playing his part when
there is fun attached to any excitement
Mr.. Redtter declined, saying, "vel /
guess l tries him no more )" aud no more
he did. Soon appeared on the pond OF
ice below, some of our young ladies to
| try their skill at skating. At once the
coasting was abandoned by Mr.. Riley
and his services rendered to the young
ladies' la all due courtesy. Miss r., the
! first to try the skates did remarkably
| well, 1t being the first attempt for several
years. Miss L., thinking that Miss 4
was so successful, concluded she would
make an effort. On all occasions of this
character there must be some to make
fun, and acc ordingly this point was &C.
complished in all it, glory. The attempt
not being very successful she concluded
to dispense with the experiment as she
thought there had been fun enough over
her efforts. CITIZEN.

DEATH FROM POISONOUS GASES

Reports on the sewerage of the late

millionaire, of Brooklyn Heights, who

the Brooklyn Board of Health yesterday
by Sanitary Superintendent Raymond
and consulting plumber Forth that the
house of the deceased was filed with
traps, and was connected with the sewer
in Furman street by five inch pipe.
There was no trap at the point where
the connection was made. 1t was found
that sewer gas arose in the house owing
to several of the traps being unsealed.
The report recommended that a trap be
placed at the connection of the sewer
with the pipe leading into the house, and
that some OF the plumbing arrangements
