"A representative of the Thomas Houston
Electric Light Co. visited this city on Mon
day. He thinks the place could be lighted
from central point by six electric lights,
and light furnished as bright as moonlight
and at a cost, after the first expense of outfit,
much less than that of gas. A detailed esti-
mate will be given to the Council at its next
regular meeting.

According to the Doylestown IatelIigencer,
certain farmer in Bucks county never all
lows his cows to lie down in the stable. They
are kept IN a standing position by means of a
rope fastened to the ceiling, and then passed
under the COW, just back her fore legs, and
tied up again to the ceiling. Each COW is
thus put in q swing, and kept standing while
in the stable. The object is said to be to
keep them clean.
We should suppose that was about as cruel
as anything could be, next to torture Of the
dumb brutes.

THE FOURTH OF JuLY.-Brother Jonathan
is more than hundred years old-quite too
old to be amused with the popping of fire
crackers any longer and, unless he be very
deaf, quite too sensible, we should hope, to
think the changing of bells pretty music. II
he don't look out his cousins and chums
across the water win begin to whisper that he
is in his second childhood.
Boston, New York and Manayunk, and we
know not how many other towns, have already
taken new departure suggested by good
taste aud sound sense; and free concerts and
exhibitions of vsntriloquism and legerdemain,
animated speeches and recitations. process
sions and collations, art galleries and
museums thrown open to the public free of
expense, and similar entertainments, take the
place Of the noisy and wearisome and dam
gerous sports with bell metal and gun powder.
Is II not fitting that Lambertville should
follow SO good lead Perhaps not all we
dream of can be effected at onoe, but be-
ginning ought at once to be made. We have
enough of ssnative talent" aud native Kind
ness to ensure an enjoyable hour or two in the
largest hall with music and merry talk. Give
the pupils of the public schools the front seats.
Ask the girls to come in white dresses, with
flowers, the boys to bear tri-color badges.
Invite the Boozer Cadets to execute their best
movements on the stage. Get the band if
possible.
And then spare the ears and nerves Of sick
and delicate people little. Do not let the
bells ring, or the cannons bang, during
honest sleeping hours. If there are to be ma
tional salutes and concerted discords from the
steeples, write them down for six and twelve
and six o'clock--no other times to be fash
ionable or respectable.
We would like to say something about Chinese
crackers, but we wait for the first word on
that subject to come from his Honor the
Mayor. SEvENTY-SIx.

The Hunterdon Democrat says: Last fall
we made mention of the fact that Mrs. Theo-
dore Il. Young, of Copper Hill, had captured
couple of wild geese, or rather goose and
a gander, which had lit near the buildings on
the farm. The strangers were well cared for
during the winter and this spring the female
bird laid eleven eggs and Matched out that
same number of goslings. They are little
wild just yet, but Mrs, Young hopes to be
able to tame them to considerable extent as
time passes. The parent birds are not half
as wild as they were when captured last

Mr.. John P. Daveron, now in charge OF
the Mutual Unicn Telegraph Company S
office, on Bridge street, in this city, we under
stand, was the first person that received a
message OH the new Mexican Cable from the
United States. On Dec. Esd, 1880, be was
sent from New York by steamer to Mexico,
and arrived at Vera Cruz Jan. I'd, 1881. On
account of the terrible epidemic of yellow
fever there at that time, he only remained
twenty-one days. From there he was ordered
south to the city of Tampico, two hundred
and fotty miles distant, and remained four
months. At that city the first message was
received in Feb. 1881, from the President of
the United States to the President of Mexico,
with congratulations on the successful laying
of the cable, &c. The message passed through
Brownsville, Texas. Mr.. Daveron also re-
ceived the first message on the new French
Atlantic Cable at New York. Mr.. Daveron
is quite young man, being only twenty three
years old, but understands his business
thoroughly. He expects to remain here for
some length of time.

it some playhouse reins of her little boy,

found was no make-believe affair, but live

Dwarf EIenhanls.

A New York firm has received two
dwarf elephants from the mountains of
the Malay peninsula. They are the first
elephants Of their species ever brought
to the United States, and n gentleman
who saw them said that he had visited
all of the great geological exhibitions in
Europe and had not seen anything like
them. They are males, and their names
are Prince and Sidney Prince, the
anger, is thirty-six inches tall. Sidney
is twenty-eight inches in height. They
are supposed to be five and seven years
old respectively. They are covered with
q thick coat ofbristly hair, This growth
is accounted for by the fact that the
elephants live far mp the mountains,
where the climate is cold. Like Gle
plants of larger. growth, they keep up o
swaying motion, either sideWise or for
ward and backward. When visitor lets
one of the little fellows take his hand,
he delicately curls his proboscis around
it and carries it gently TO his month.
Then he trumpets his satisfaction.

Seeking q Sunkcn Treasure.

Work upon the wreck of the British
frigate Hussar, which now lies on the
bottom of the Harlem river, New York,
IS being pushed with great vigor.
Operations were begun last June, and
will be continued until floating ice
threatens to cut the divers air-pipes and
life-lines What is left of the wrecked
man of-war rests in from eighty to ninety
feet of water, and owing to the great
depth and the swiftness of the tide the
divers can make but slow progress. The
schooner Hudson is held in position over
the wreck by five anchors-two astern
and three forward. A steam engine on
her deck operates the air and hydraulic
pumps and other machinery. The
mound of rubbish at the bottom of the
river-all that remains of tho frigate-
is mined with n hydraulic drill. The
enterprise is in the hands of new COM
pany holding q government license.
Mr.. G. w. Thomas, the acting manager,
when asked what progress had been made
this season, said that he would prefer
not to say; that so lnany previous efforts
to recover the treasure having proved
abortive, the press and the public wore
disposed to laughter whenever the SUBJ
ject is mentioned. He would say, how
ever, that the indications were such chat
the gentlemen composing the company
were encouraged to persevere, and paid
their assessments with promptitude. 1t
is the opinion of many divers who have
worked upon the wreck that when the
Hussar was blown up by other divers,
over fifty years ago, that portion of the
vessel holding the treasure was cut off
and carried away some distance by the
tide
The Hussar, while on her way to Nor
wich, Conn, on November %, 1880,
struck on Pot Rock, in He'll Gate. She
is said to have had on board, 81, 800, 900,
which was intended for the land and
naval forces engaged in the war with the
colonies.
Interesting mementoes of the wreck
are daily brought to the surface by the
divers. A few days ago a metal box,
holding number of British copper
coins, was brought up.

The Order of CIeayers.

Rev. Theodore i. Cnyler, D. D., was
in attendance at the Presbyterian coun-
Gil One day in the week the butchers
had festival of some kind, and were to
have a grand parade. That morning
DIR. Cuyler visited barber shop to get
shaved. When the knight of the razor
had stretched his customers neck and
pushed his head as far back as possible,
and filled his eyes, nose and mouth with
lother, he said to him interrogatiyely.
and speaking as friend:
" Well, you're going to turn out to-
day."
"Eh?" said the Doctor
i say you're going to have o big
display
"Going to---what? 1 didn't catch
your remark"
" l say you butchers are going to turn

"Well, not exactly. L eat good deal

Still, l belong to an order closely con-
nected with butchers"
"You do. What's thatg'

"Ohl and what do you do?"

The astonished barber had sufficient
presence of mind to collect his fee from
the member of the Order of Cleayers.
But DIR. Cuyler couldn't help telling the
story New York Graphic.
