THE constitution is imperative in lis
mandate to the state legislature to make
an apportionment. The oath of the
members as well as important public i'll
terests require that this should be done
this session. The present political divis-
ions of the state are neither fair nOr ad
justed to the changes in population dur
ing the past ten years. With regard to
an agreement upon what changes
ought to be made there seems to be less
difficulty between the parties on the con
gressional and judicial appointments
than on the legislative and even in the
Distribution of the members of tln
House there is little room under the con-

Republican authorities, that party pro.
poses to resist any attempt to improve

THE Brooklyn bridge was opened to the public last Thursday. New-York and Brooklyn vied with each other in celebrating the occasion. Fourth of July celebrations dwindle into insignifi- canoe compared with the pomp, parade, speeches, music, roar of cannon and dis play of flags, decorations and fireworks that marked this great event in the his tory of these two great cities. The President of the United States, Gov Cleveland, Mayor Edson of New-York, Mayor Low of Brooklyn, Congressman Abram s Hewitt, Rev Dr Richard s Storrs and vice-President Kingsley of the bridge trustees, participated in the ceremonies. Hundreds of prominent officials from all parts of the country and thousands in the humber walks of life were present. The next day over 100, 900 persons crossed the bridge and the number of vehicles was Estimated at 1,8O0.

B. WA1LNGFoRD, Or, Jan 1, 1883.
 Bradley's phosphate is being used by farmers in this locality more than ever before. If the results of its use are as favorable with others as mine with one barrel, no wonder that it gives general satisfaction. I took half an acre that had been in corn the previous years. After two ploughings and an occasional narrowing, on the 1st of July we turned a furrow with light plough and scat tered the phosphate in continuous line therin, which was covered by the re- turning furrow, making 8 ridge on which the turnip seed was sown with a seed drill. The result was 16O bushels of marketable turnips, worth seventy-fv cents per bushel BENJAMIN. HALL.

Am Editors Peculiar w avs,

One New Years day, says New York correspondent, young Bennett arrived at the Union Club toward night, having made many calls. He sat down in a chair and observing that some mem- bers of the club were presenting Peter, the venerable porter of the club, with $5 bills as New Years presents, he call ed him over and fishing down into one of his pockets brought up bill.
 s'Peter, my friend" he said, without looking at the bill, "take that"
 ''Thank you sir, "said Peter, his eyes glistening at the sight of a $2O bill.
 Bennett gazed at him for a second, said sleepily, ''wait Peter and diving down into another pocket brought up another bill.
 ''Take that Peter"
 minutes. Every time the astonished Peter attempted to withdraw he was called back, and the presentation of ev- cry kind of bill from $1 to $50 went on to the amusement of the spectators. When no more bills came forth Bennett stopped and went away. Peter asked some of the members what he should do with his hat full of money He was ad-
 
 came whether he had not given him by mistake more than he intended. So the next day when Bennett appeared Peter said to him:
 ''Mr Bennett, I think you gave me more of a New Years present than you intended last night
 Bennett looked at him for few min- utes, not having the glimmer of an idea I,/>r H., k L. he had given anything at all.
 ''How much did l give you Peter ?'
 Flight hundred dollars sir"
 The position was delicate one, but not so much so to man with an income of million year as to an ordinary mor tai. ''That was the amount I intended for you Peter," said Bennett without 8 sign of annoyance.

THE old proverb ''a stitch in time saves nine" will probably always remain true. A few years ago Canaan had a practical illustration of this proverb. When MT Frederick Watson's barn burned, the fire extended to the Epis- copal church editice and greatly dam aged it and was only saved from com plete distraction by the timely arrival of several small hand pumps. Had this church burned, the Town hall, Mir Watson's house, the hotel and the en- tire business portion of the village would have been swept away. We are glad to see the action taken by the citi- zens of Wakefield, Mass, and we ask our readers to read and ponder well the fol- lowing, which appears in the Scientific American :-
 "At Wakefield, Mass, 8 fire brigade has been formed among the citizens for the mutual protection of property, the inspiring principle of the association being that five minutes work at the commencement of fire is better than an hours work after the confagration is In progress. Each member of the brig ade IS provided with 8 small hand pump, and proceeds to the fire on the first sounding of the alarm. Great riv- airy exists among the members of the company to arrive first at the scene of action, and to stimulate this praise worthy emulation, prize is awarded to him who succeeds in playing 'first wa ter" on the flame.
 The association has already done some very good service, and quite 8 number of fires have been put out be- fore either of the two hand engines of the town had arrived at the scene. If more of our country villages boast of such protective associrtions, we should see fewer accounts in the papers of houses and barns destroyed, and the re- duction in the insurance rates would very soon pay the cost of all the appar- atus and the expenses attending the or- ganization." &

A WONDERFUL DREAM,

Warming tO HHarveyJewelI's Daughter r

Warming to HarveyJeVve1l's Daughter
 From the Boston Globe, last Wednesday,
 One of the most remarkable occur rences ever heard of was related to me thls morning." remarked State street broker yesterday. "I have heard of 8 good many wonderful dreams, but this has some features about it which border on the marvellous
 What is the story ?" queried another broker, whose business was apparently dull enough to allow him plenty of time to study the miraculous, since he had almost forgotten how to buy and sell.
 "Well, " replied the first speaker, "I was told to-day by leading City Hall official, whose trustworthiness is un- doubted, daughter of the late Harvey Jewell (who was so well and favorably known in Boston in legal and business circles, and was 8 brother of the late Marshall Jewell) had recently a very queer and unusal experience, and one calculated to make deep impression upon the strongest mind. Some weeks ago she had a dream in which she dis tlnctly saw an undertaken drive up to her residence with hearse. He was 8 peculiar looking man. His queerly shaped nose, which looked as if it had been broken and twisted to one side, gave his countenance an expression which would have made indentifcation easy and certain. He came directly to- ward her, and as he said,
 ARE YOU ALL READY ?"
 she suddenly awoke.
 "The dream seemed a peculiar one, but did not attract much attention in the household, until few days or a week later, it was repeated with exactly the same characteristics, down to the Are you all ready?' and the awaken ing.
 And now comes the strangest part Of the story. Some little time afterward the young lady was visiting in Cincin- natl, and went to an apartment hotel to call upon friend. She stepped into the elevator with others, and was startled to hear Are you all ready ? from the man in charge. She was still more startled on looking around and behold ing the exact picture of the man of the dream, even to the misshapen nose.
 It made such an impression upon her mind that she requested to be let out of the elevator at the first landing. She stepped out, and the other occupants went out at the next landing, and the man remained. The elevator machin- cry gave out suddenly the car went up, and then down, and the man was instantly killed.
 ''You have heard of the warnings of dreams. All can say is that this is the first well-authenticated case I have ever known, and if it does not border on the supernatural do not know what does. It was a good way to restore ones peace of mind, but most remark able sequel"
 ''Send it to the Globe," said listen- CT; "it may bring. out many similar cases from among the thousands who read that popular paper.''
