Washington, May 2.-It is said that the counterfeit silver dollar, about which so much is being said, is not made of base metal, but of gen. tune silver, and is being manufac- t;4red by private parties. There is money in the business. In the stand ard silver dollar there is only about eighty eight cents worth of silver. There is therefore twelve cents to be made on every dollar. The secret service agents are trying to find out who the parties are who are manu- featuring the coin.

SPRING ELECTIONS.

The annual spring elections for
township and borough officers we're
held yesterday. To this place the con-
test was divoid of all interest SO far
as any outward show wac concerned
There was no contest On any Of the
Offices except those Of councilmen and
school directors, upon which there was
considerable cutting and slashirg, as it
we're. A caucds was held on Monday
evening and full ticket placed 10
1omiration, but as these caucuses
don't seem to be very binding on the
voters who take part 10 them, the reg.
ular ticket was somewhat scratched
Not enough however, to affect it to any
visible degree, excepting in the office
of inspector Of elections, j. D. Hulings
being elected in the place of David
Brenemau. There was An attempt to
spring "A point on one Of the school
director nominees, but it fell short OF
the mark. The coun Gil elected is the
youngest that has ever had charge OF
affairs in the borough, and some one
has had the termerity to call it the
baby council :" however this may be,
the boys will, we believe, do well, and
as they have, in the newly elected bur
CESS. Judge Irwin, one who will be q
father TO them, and keep a fatherly
watch over his children, the citizens
need have no grave aprehensions fol
tho future welfare of the town. We
give below the ticket as elected yes

Newtown gave way, and much Of the
lumber and timber that had been
lodged therein was carried away. 1t
was hoped that the gorge might melt
away gradually. which would have
enabled the owners to save a large
amount of the lumber, especially the
timber, lodged there. but as it is now
there is little left to be saved, and
that which has gone is hardly worth
picking up. The bridge at Newtown,
which had been badly racked by the
late food, was completely destroyed
on Sunday morning, which will put
