West Haven Borough.

West Haven borough received it's charter from the General Assembly, May session. 1873. The rapid growth of the village de manded the exercise of some special authority by which streets and sidewalks could be bet ter improved than. by town meeting, and a very liberal charter was granted with powers which have been carefully exercised and have given impetus to and encourage improve ments, the results of which now being realized. Streets have been graded and im- proved at comparative small expense and many property owners have curbed and laid concrete sidewalks, especially on Beach street at the West Haven shore, where many fine residences have been so recently built. The taxable property in the town of Orange large ly predominates within the borough limits The town highway tax has yearly been di- vided by the town and borough authorities, the borough always receiving less than it's proportion, but with economy this has near ly paid for the working and grading of it's streets. The ordinary expenses of the bor- ough, including all incidentals has been only about $500 per year.
 There has existed from the date of the charter what has been called an anti borough element, composed of few designing and disappointed politicians who have to the sur- prise of liberal minded taxpayers s, kept up 8 constant howl about the enormous expense at which the affairs of the borough have been run, Thus far no property holder has been required co build sidewalks of material other than of earth. It is gratifying to it's friends to see the growing popularity of the borough system. Friends of the borough will meet at the rooms over the postoffice this Friday q IL IL. | f the ensuing year.

What Can be Bought for a Penny.

The lessees of the Alexandra Palace have provided exhibition of the multitudinous articles which sold for a penny. Few people are aware of the variety and excel lence of the productions that can be sold for penny. Perhaps the most marvellous is that which nowadays excites the least atten. tien-namely, penny newspaper. One ot the stands contains ptentlfully varied ex- ample of the penny periodical literature o1 the age, daily, weekly and monthly. In the literary way perhaps the most remarkable pennyworth is an illustrated Revised New Testament. The fine arts are represented by prints colored and plain, some of them mount ed in moulded carbon mounts, forming a tasteful frame. A considerable proportion of the exhibits are ordinary penny packages of things in general use, such as soap, pins, seeds, starch, cosmetics, dye in powder or liquids and toys in endless profusion. Fancy stationery is in great force, and specialtes for the season, like Easter cards, form a principal feature. One of the wonders of the show are the cutlery exhibits, which demonstrate the possibility offurnishing very respectable knives and scissors, with sundry useful tools, all for one penny. One of the most charming departments of the show is what may be termed the Horticultural stand, where buttonhole bouquets and bouquet holders are dispensed. Pipes, walking sticks, kites, fans, jewelry, jugs microscopes sweets, sauce, photographs and long list of things crowd the stands on every hand

Conductor Baldwin, of the New York and New England road, was formerly conductor on the Iron Mountain railroad of Missouri and it was his train which the James boys at- tackled at Gadds Hill in 1874, and from which they stole $11, 1000. The first person
 robbed was Conductor Baldwin. Among the
 property taken from him by Jesse James was
 his watch, an indispensable article for him to
 have in the performance of his duties as con- ductor. This fact Jesse James recognized,
 and before leaving the train he turned to the
 conductor with the grace of Claude Duval
 and, handing him watch, said: ''Excuse
 me, sir, did not think. You will need this to run your train" This timepiece is still
 carried by MT. Baldwin.
