COMMON CoUNcn.-The stated monthly
meeting of the Common Council of this city,
was held on last Monday evening.
The Treasurer's monthly report was read
and ordered iled. BY it, it appears that there
have been no material changes in the financial
standing of the city. A slight increase of the
debt in bank is owing TO borrowing money to
pay bills instead Of letting creditors wait for
the new tax levy, as has heretofore unjustly
been the practice. The city debt was stated
to be as follows:
Bounty Bonds. So 600
cchool Bonds. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 6, 400
Notes IN Bank. ...................... 5000
lotal....... $50, 400
Mr.. Smith said the Board of Commissioners
of Appeal had decided to hold two more meet
ings-one on Wednesday evening and the
other on Thursday evening, which would
close their labors
The Laws and Ordinance Committee was
authorized to execute a lease of the town lot
to Miss Emma Knowles, at rental of $25 per
year. si4
The Street Committee was authorized to
make necessary repairs to streets on Cottage
Hill and elsewhere.
Mr.. Finney, from Committee on Lamps and
Gas, reported that the request for post at
the corner of Lilly and Franklin SITS. was
reasonable one but recommended postpone
ment for the present on account of want of
funds. The same recommendation was made
respecting the petition for a post at the corner
of Bridge and Lambert streets.
Several bills were ordered paid.
Repairs were ordered to the Fleet Wing
house.
The Sanitary Committee was authorized to
provide disinfectants for the Board of Health.
Mr.. Smith called attention to the necessity
of fixing the compensation of the fire compan-
les for the ensuing year. Referred to Fire
Dept. Committee to fix the compensation.
Complaint was made against nuisance in
the shape of bowling dog on Ferry st..
which keeps the people in the vicinity awake
allnight. Referred to the Laws and 0rdi-
nance Committee-to take means to abate it..
Mr.. Mellick called attention to the practice
of boys in the upper part of the city, who
shoot off guns, the loads from which have
scattered shot into the yards ofdwellings aud
even struck persons residing in the vicinity.
The Mayor was requested to take measures to
abate the nuisance.
S. e. Perry Esq, counsel for Samuel
Stockton, presented paper demanding the
replacing of the stones removed by the city
authorities from in front of the Aquetong
Co.'s old engine house, on pain Of prosecu-
ton.
After remarks by Messrs. Smith and Finuey,
who contended that the stones belonged to
the city, and that they had q right to take
what WAS their own, the matter was referred
to the Laws and Ordinance Committee.
Adjourned to meet on next Monday even

Large numbers of people are in the habit
of saving their stamps and using them
again, if they are intact and can be used
again Bottles Of canceling fluid which
will readily discharge any ink out Of the
body of a writing are being peddled through
the country, parties having even come into
this office and offered them for sale. All
that is necessary is to take the stamp off
the letter and apply the fluid, when the
ink stain instantly disappears. If the stamp
cancellation be done with a pen and ink, as
it is nine cases out of ten 10 every cross
roads pOstof1ice, the ink is readily dis
charged with this fluid. Ii the cancella-
ton be done with anilinc ink made of ami
line and glyccrine, it can be washed out
with soap and water, after which a slight
exposure to the sun will cause the mark to
disappear.
The only ink which Will stick when moth
ing else will is printers ink. Any ink
made of nut gall and iron, as all writing
fluids are, may be discharged by oxalic acid.
But this does not affect printers ink,
which is, of course, the best that can bs
used for cancellation purposes.
AS to the loss sustained by the government
through these petty frauds, ii is estimated
by competent authorities, such as the post
office officials at Washington and the New
York Herald, that the annual loss from the
use Of these washed" stamps, or stamps
used j second time, amounts to, and per
haps exceeds, 81, 900, 900. This has long
since become an organized and systematic
business. Some time ago an advertisement
appeared In a boston paper purporting to
be from an eccentric old gentleman Of large
means, who offered to supply with a bed in a
~well-known charitable establishment in that
oitu n m uI, would In iplnctrinp0
enough to collect and toward him one million
cancelled stamps. Another in Brooklyn ad
vertised he would furnish a $500 library to
any Sunday. school which would collect and
send him Il million cancelled postage stamps.
What the advertisers in both these cases
were after was neither to encourage the viz
tue Of Industry in young or old, nor to
promote the cause Of religion and morality
by fostering Sunday schools, but sordid self
interest gained at the expense of the gov
eminent. The million stamps are worth
so, 900 and this is what the transaction
would bring these raScalS after washing,
cleaning and cumming the stamps. This
is the explanation Of the tone Of pseudo
philanthropy and humanity which furnish
these advertisements. The only remedy for
this is the adoption of the plan in vogue in
Russia and other European countries. This
is to print the stamp itself IN water cOlors,
in which case any attempt to wash 1t with
even the most delicate OF spongeS etfaces
the impression. The Russian stamp is
printed on thin delicate paper. easily de-
stroyed by washing CT rubbing, while our
stamps are printed on the best kind of
bank note paper and will stand a tremen
dous amount ofWashing. The doctor fur
Their said he had written sOme time ago, u
letter to the department at Washington,
urging the adoption of the Russian system,
but as the stamp contracts are let for four
years, nothing came of it.

down a decline OF forty five degrees, deep
ly covered with frozen snow. lay the spot

WHY THE IRISH People r RIsING.-
Mr James Red path. the fanatic, has re
turned from Iceland to stir up this country
m aid of the Revolution now in progress IN
the Emerald Isle. He addressed a large
meeting in Newark, New Jersey, the night
after his return Dee. lst). and among other
narrowing details of the miserics Of the
Irish tenants. spoke as follows:
''Nine-tcnths of the landlords of Ireland
are abscntees. One man has driven thous-
ands OF tenants to the poor house and their
graves. Wherever there is a decent land
lord the people would die for him. All this
wear there have been only five cases of 'tac
cidentaI' death that any one can attribute
to tenants. One Of the men killed was
Lord Leitrim. He ruined thirty pure girls,
and the brother OF one Of them went to Ire
land from Chicago and shot him down
This story may not bc true, but very
likely ii is. In d country where the lard
lord may turn any family out of house and
home in the midst OF Il snow storm, empty
