The s'Hubites.o

Ironton, or as it boastingly likes to
dub itfelf 1.-THE Hub" is always doing
something to excite the envy, if not
admiration, of it's less picturesque ioca |
neighbors, and We must confess that it
succeeds admirably for a vitloge of its
tender size.
Not content with putting up grand
Academy of Music, it has a grand
Opening-it has a magnificent basket
of f1owers-it votes the flowers, at sixty
dollars, to pretty Miss Mamie Zwart,
and then to cap the climax of "deing
things" covey of beauties appear
upon the stage, and its sedate Presi-
dent Judge Emerson) unbends him
self, smiles, and presents the flowers
In this fashion:
ELECTED ''Mosr CHARMING LADY,
The ba tile is now over, the victory thine -
PRAY do not be alright
And the gladstone pleasure is mine
To tell thee this to- nj ght
The Rose is awake all night for thy sake
1t kept its eyes ope to wait and to see
And the Lilies and Pinks all awake,
And they sigh for the dawn and for thee!
Sweet Mamie, Qneen in this garden Of girls!
Come hithert-The dances have ceasedi
In gloss of satin, and glimmer of pearls.
Charming lady-brisht Queen of the feast.
These fowers-pray receive them from me-
With wishes for blessings, and wishes for JOY
Charming lady, for thine and for thee;
And happiness ever without any alloy
Fair lady, for thine and for thee.
Miss Zwart gracefully bowed amidst
modest and sweet smiles, and the par
ties figuring in the presentation on the
stage then bowed themselves off.
amidst applause, and the festivities
were resumed.
Now, we expect next thing. all the
pretty girls i'm the country will be mi
grating to THE Hub" SO they may
have chance to be made famous in |
'ong. Really, we do not know what
pretty girl would not like to be talked
% in that delicate. sweet way.
If the poem were by Whittier, it
would not rest, nor would it ever die

hours, making 4S1 ,214 strokes, and lifting
los, ,HSSl l4SO gallons to Cool Spring Reser-

the corresponding month last year the re-
cord shows an increase of 1859, ,43S gallons

AN INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION.
In speaking of the increase ssof 50, ,479, ,424
gallons over the month of June, 1881, raised
from the City Mill TO Cool Spring Rerervoir,
Chief Engineer McIntire expressed the
opinion that there must be criminal waste
OF water somewhere, and that at the
present rate of increase there will be danger
of water famine before the summer is over.
IL would be we'll, he said, for our citizens to
consider the matter.
The heaviest previous months pumping
was ON September, 1881, when 154, ,40S, roo
gallons were raised, but last month it
amounted to q, ,727 ,620 more than even that
month. AT Rodney street the increase was
considerably over June, 1881, and within
162, ,l2O gallons of equaling the heaviest
months record in September last.
The chief has for some time been advising
the increase of the pumping capacity, and
in his last report to the City Council are
found two pertinent paragraphs as fol
lows /: .H--
would respectfully recommend that steps
be taken at once by tina City Council to
have another Worthington duplex pump of
still greater capacity, and another pair of
boilers erected at city mill"

The centre of disturbance that was organ
izing over the Missouri Valley ON Thursday
has since moved eastward to the upper lake
regions. 1t has not yet developed very
much energy, but heavy rains have attended
II throughout the territory north of Indiana
and Ohio. The high pressure area
overlays the ocean off the South
Atlantic coast, and thence extends
westward to Southern Mexico. Its position
indicates considerable rise in temperature
during the next 4S hours in the Eastern dis
tricts. Rain fell in the lake regions and
on some sections of the Atlantic. coast.
Elsewhere fair or hazy weather pre-
vailed. The temperature fell in the
extreme Northeast and rose in the other
districts. Fresh to light winds prevailed. The
weather in New York and its vicinity today

Perplexed Justice.

Justice Vandegrift's office was filled last
evening with crowd of jabbering Germans,
three or four talking at once and gesticula-
ting violently at each other and at the justice
as he sat behind the desk frowning seriously
and scratching his head in thevain endeavor
to find out what the trouble was about.
Finally 1t was discovered that one man with
an unpronouncable name had charged his
late boarding house landlord, also wearing
a jaw-twistng cognomen, with having used
insulting language calculated to create
disturbance. By means of sundry inter
prefers it was learned that the defendant
landlord had charged the plaintiff boarder
with having stolen S5--only that and moth
ing more-and ordering his lodger from the
house. The charge was not proved, and
the squire, with a sort of a thank-heav en-its-
over sigh, dismissed the case.

UP THE HUDSON.
An Editorial Jaunt to West Point-A
Pleasant Excursion.

Pleasant Excursion.
Yesterday the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which owns the splendid Hudson river
steamer Richard Stockton, gave a special
excursion 10 number of newspaper repre-
sentatives from Wilmington, Philadelphia
and other places. The party left Phladel-
phia, from the new Broad street station at
z O'Clock, in a special train, and after a
rapid ride to Jersey City boarded the
Stockton and started up the river at
9.3O o'clock. The weather was delightful,
and ample opportunity was afforded for
viewing the Palisades, the Highlands, and
other romantic beauties of the Hudson.
Dinner was served on the boat and refresh
ments of all kinds amply provided. The
boat proceeded as far as West Point, and re-
turned without stopping, reaching Jersey
City at 4.50 o'clock. The special train left
soon after and arrived in Phila-
delphia a few minutes past seven,
the excursionists having passed an exceed
ingly pleasant day. The Wilmington party
comprised J. G, Farra OF the Sunday Star,
Ed. Davis Morning Ne'os, G. Curtis Ecery
E0eni,g, W. s. Vernon Republican, and the
GAZETTE representative.
The steamer Stockton has been completely
refurnished and fitted up for the season In
the most elegant manner, and is in all re-
spects flrst-class, swift river excursion
boat. It will make daily trips to West
Point during the summer season.

A Snake in Her Hat.

The other day, certain young lady in
Rome, Ga, started out shopping. While
putting on her hat she thought it felt rather
heavy, but not noticing anything, put it on
her head. On her return home she asked
her sister to take off her hat, as she thought
something was on it. Her sister took off her
and while doing SO came very near being
bitten by a snake. The lady had worn the
snake around with her all the time, uncon-
seious of its presence.
