The Firemen's Relief Association Of this
city received about $250.00 into its treasury
few days ago from the Secretary of State,
being the portion coming to them from a sum
which had accumulated in his hands after the
law was changed, making insurance agents
pay direct to the Treasurer of the relief assoc
citation, instead of to the Secretary of State,
and he to the several Treasurers in the
State. Some Of these associations have as
much as $4,000 in hand, all accumulated
from the 2 per cent. premium imposed on all
foreign insurance companies doing business
in this State, thus extending aid to firemen
who may get injured in the performance of
their duty, such aid being measured by the
strength of the treasury. With what has
been collected at home the amount just re-
ceived will swell the sum held by the Lam
berfvi,le Relief Association to about $500 90.
A very gratifying result for an association as
young as ours. Fars

OLD CHURCH CALENDAR.

July 10, Fourth Sundayafte Trinity.
July II, Fifth Sunday after Trinity.
That is beautiful story that is told of a
little boy, deaf and dumb, who had been
taught to read and write, and had learnt, also
the great truths of the Christian religion.
A visitor at the institution had asked him, by
manual signs, several questions, which he
answered correctly. At last he enquired,
"Why do you think God has deprived you Of
speech and hearing, when he has given both
to me and most people?" The little fellows
face showed strong emotion, a tear moistened
his eye; then in moment he caught up his
slate and pencil, and quietly wrote, Even So,
Father for SO it seemed good in thy sight"
Could better answer had been given, by
wisest philosopher or ripest saint ? And the
words were the Masters own. Beautiful il
lustration of real faith in the Holy Trinity,
ruling heart and life, and comforting under
severest trials. God, our Father Christ our
Teacher and then without fail, the Holy
Spirit our Comforter, given to us, to abide
with US forever.

\ lon Saturday evening, I'd inst, an old gen
tleman named Mahlon Corson, who lived with
his son Asa Corson, farmer at Locktown,
went to the pasture field to drive up the cat
tie. The cattle came to the barn short
while after, but the old gentleman did not
make his appearance. His grand children
him they returned aud informed their father.
He then started out and soon found the life
less body Of the aged sire lying in a shallow
brook which has to be crossed in reaching the
pasture field. 1t is supposed that in return
ing with the cattle from the field the old man
was stricken With apoplexy when at the brook
and fell into the waters His age was about
70 years.

Mn. EDITOR ;-7Your correspondent indulg-
ed himself the other evening Thursday by
an attendance on the meeting of Council, be-
aged things was surprised and rather
sorry to notice that the old slip-shod fashion
of reading the minutes from loose sheets, in
stead of from the record book, was again the
practice. All those familiar with our city
affairs years ago, know what inconvenience
and loss has been experienced, owing to that
loose way of doing. Having had something
to do with bringing about a reformation Of
this habit several years ago, feel interested
to at least call attention to the subject.

--One evening about Two weeks ago brave
deed was done BY Miss Hannah Van SyclSel,
Griffin, of that place. got upon the railroad
track just as the tram was approaching. The
engineer blew the alarm whistle and attracted
the attention of Miss Van Syckel, who, going
out Of the house to ascertain the cause of
alarm, espied the little one upon the track,
unconscious of danger. Instead Of throwing
up her hands and screaming, as good many
females would have done, Miss Van SyckeI
ran to the Spot as fast as she could and
snatched the child from the track just as the
train reached it, and indeed, only succeeded
in rescuing the child as its body was grazed
by the locomotive. All honor to the bravery
of the young lady - Hunterdon Democrat.

However much people may object to the
expense, it is certain thing that sewers will
soon be necessity in this city, if health is to
be preserved. In the thickly settled portions
the ground has been saturated with the filth
from out-houses and Sinks and foul water,
until the atmosphere in damp and muggy
days is tainted with foul odors. The intro
duction of water has increased this bad condi-
ton of things for many now use water in
closets and this turns into liquid form foul
matter that was left comparatively dry before.
But notwithstanding the necessity of sewers
is plainly seen, it will probably be necessary
for a scourge Of malignant fever to sweep
through the city before action will be taken.
Yet the cost of perfectly sewering the city
would not amount to over $4,000, a large
sum, it may be, but small one when the
health and lives of the people are in question.

The ordinance offered in Council at its

IN DEEP WELL.-The Clinton Democrat
gives the following account of terrible adj
venture of junction boy: "One of the
most remarkable of recorded escapes from
a terrible death occurred here on Tuesday
night, the 9TH inst. At about 30 minutes after
6 O'Clock, Joseph Doll, cigar maker, 10 years
of age, climbed down into well at his broth
er's house to bring up bucket that had
fallen in. The we'll is about so feet deep.
After he had got down about 20 feet the
whole upper part caved in, the stones forming
an arch just above his head. His brother,
who happened to be near by, gave the alarm,
and in a short time a large crowd had assem-
bled. BY listening, his voice could be dis
tinctly heard through the 20 feet ofstones and
dirt Picks and shoves were procured, and a
crowd commenced digging. At about 10
O'Clock some old miners we're sent for, and on
their arrival they decided that the only way
to bring him out alive was to sink shaft by
the side of the we'll to a point opposite him,
then cut a tunnel from the shaft into the well
and pun him out This was successfully ac-
complished, after digging faithfully all night
and until O'Clock Wednesday morning, when
he was pulled opt after being buried hours
40 minutes lie says be held himself 10 feet
from the bottom by bracng his back against
one side with one foot on the other side. When
one foot would become tired he would change
them. In the meantime he would rub the
other foot aud leg with his hand to remove
the numbness."
