POLAND SENTENCED.

Thomas Boland. recently convicted Of making
false returns election inspector. arraigned
for sentence yesterday before Judge Brady. in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer. His counsel, Mr.
Ambrose II. Purdy. stated on his behalf that he had
acted with the best light he had. with intent to
violate the law. and In the belief that the first re-
turn erroneous. and that the correction made
in conformity with tho figures subsequently
stated by the poll clerks. correct and proper.
In such case. counsel added. snch merciful con-
siderations as the Court at liberty to indulge
within ths hplt of the statute would seem to
be proper Boland, being asked what,
IL anything. he had to say why sentence
should not be passed on him, contented himself with
reitcrating the language of his counselthat he
innocent and had no intention to violate the law.
Judge Brady in passing sentence. repeated his Ian
guate used in his charge to the jury the trial in
relation to the Importance OF preserving the purity
of the ballot box even In respect to single vote.
This he said, lent an importance to the which
reached even to tho preservation Of the republican
form of government. In this instance, however, he
thought tho prisoner had been influenced by the
statements of his official associates and on that ac-
count IL not which called for exemplary
punishment. He then sentenced Boiand 10 impris-
onment in the State Prison for two years--the low
est sentence permitted by the election laws.

Cook the New Jersey State geoogist. For LOO feet

admixture Of quartz found. few days ago,
however, several strata of rcd shale and plaster OF

certain sign that plentiful supply Of water would
soon be reached. The we'll had now reached depth
of 100 feet-400 feet under the level OF
the sea-when suddenly the drills began
to work in very peculiar manner, wholly un-
accountable to the workmen. The drill being with

This is regarded something very remarkable. as
