AERIAL NAVIGATION.

A certificate of incorporation has been
filed in the Office OF the Secretary of State
of Illinois for the "Aerial Navigation Co.
of Chicago the object Of the incorpora-
tors being "the transportation of passen-
gers and freight through the air." 1t is
asserted that the machines to be mann
featured by this company are perfection
of the one tested at Hartford, Conn, sew
eral years ago, which at the time attract
tracted considerable interest. Probably
this refers to several trials of n balloon
made by Mr.. Il. +. Ritchel, of Bridge
port, Conn.,, who exhibited in Hartford,
in June, 1878, balloon with propelling
apparatus attached by which the upward
and downward movements of the balloon
could be governed, and by which in calm
weather its course could be directed.
The balloon was n horizontal cylinder of
silk, twelve feet long and twenty four
inches diameter, capable of containing
about 8, 900 feet of gas. Suspended to it
by cords and steel rods was a fiat frame
of brass pipe, pointed at each end, and
having seat for the operator. In front
of the scat was a gear wheel with two
cranks, connected by vertical shaft and
horizontal shaft to two propeller wheels,
ono at the lower end of tho vertical shaft
under the frame, and the other in front
of the operator, and this wheel was at
tached to the shaft by universal joint so
that it could be turned q distance of about
thirty degrees from the shaft in hori-
zontal plane by the feet of the aeronaut.
This wheel was the propelling power and
also the steering device. The levitating
power of the balloon was barely sufficient
TO raise the apparatus and its load, the
vertical propeller assisting if a rapid rise
was desired, and bringing the balloon
down without emitting any of the gas.
At one trial, on calm day, the balloon
rose from the base ball grounds at Colts
Meadows, Hartford, passed over Colts
factory, and nearly over the Connecticut
river, turned about and returned, de-
scending to the ground at the place from
which It started, the distance being pro-
baby half mile and return, the balloon s
height after rising from the earth varying
from 800 to 400 feet, or tbereabout.
At another trial, ON the succeeding day,
with quite a stiff breeze blowing, the
aeronaut was unable to turn his balloon
around, or to stem the wind, and was
forced o distance of nearly nine miles,
when he descended and came back, with
his balloon, by carriage. But on this oc-
casion he descended once on his trip to
the dooryard of farmer, procured glass
Of water from tho well, and rose again,
hoping to make a return trip.
No accurate test was ever made of the
propelling or lifting power of the two
fans, but they were sufficient, as proved
by repeated experiments, to raise, lower,
and steer the balloon except in a strong
wind, the operator rotating the cranks at
the rate of 100 revolutions per minute,
producing, by means of pinions, revolt
ton of the fans of $500 turns per minute.

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

There are dangerous counterfeits in cir.
culation purporting to be walnut Leaf
Hair Restorer." The strongest evidence
of its great value is the fact that parties
knowing its great efficacy try to imitateit.
Each bottle of the genuine has a fac siaile
of walnut leaf-blown in the glass ; and
n Green Leaf ON the outside wrapper.
The "Restorer" is as harmless MS water,
while it possesses all the properties ne
eessary to restore life, vigor, growth and
color to the hair. Purchase only from
responsible parties. Ask your druggist
for it. Each bottle is warranted. JOINS

Deceased,
Mr.. Henry Ganghen, for many years a
resident of the First Ward, died after a
painful illness on Saturday last, at the
residence Of his son.in-law, Mr.. Patrick
Kelley, at the locks. It will be remem-
bered that about one aud half years ago,
Mr.. Gaughen was affected with a large
tumor under the right arm-pit He paid
a visit to st. Michael's Hospital, at New
ark and had it removed with apparent
success, but few months afterwards
another large tumor made its appearance
in the same place. This was removed also
at the same hospital, but it was only a
question of a few months, after that time,
that other tumors made their appearance
and these were the final cause of Mr.. G. S
death. His funeral took place yesterday
Tuesday morning, at st. Johns R. c.
Church. Mr.. Gaughen had the respect
and esteem of many friends in this city.

One of our Pennington exchanges
says that at the regular monthly meet
ing of Tho Beard of Freeholders held in
the Court House last Wednesday, ''reso-
luton was passed forbidding the con-
structon of any more new street sewers
in Lambertvile.
If the freeholders want to be consistent,
let them also forbid the building of at the
county's expense, small bridges over gut
ters across roads, that only carry off the
rain water. Otherwise it looks as though
the townships wanted to discriminate
against this city.

by the Presbyterian Sabbath School of
our village, as the time for holding
their picnic, and Packers Island was the
spot chosen for them to visit. The early
morning of that day was cloudy and in
dications pointed to fall of rain, but the
clouds, however, in few hours, broke
away and early in the afternoon the snn
shone bright and warm. The children
gathered at the Lecture Room of the
Church, at s o'clock and were soon close
ly, yet comfortably seated in the larg
carryalls, and the procession started. The
island was reached in due time and the
pic mic began in earnest. The smaller
children fastened directly to the large
and fine swings found there and enjoyed
themselves riding to and fro, while many
others were found quietly seated along
the bank Of the river, watching the cork
of fishing line, bobbing in the water,
with the hopes of catching some fine fish,
Dinner time was, however, near at hand
and that all enjoyed this part of the pic
mic, was plainly seen by those who merely
glanced at the tables, around which the
different families were seated. After din
din the amusements were various. Each
member Of the Sabbath School was gi1en
ticket, which entitled him or her to
plate of ice cream. The cream was pur-
chased of the popular saloon keeper, John
Stockton, Esq, of Pennington and was
pronounced of good quality. During the
afternoon, nearly every member Of the
school took refreshing plate of the
cream. About three o'clock, a number of
our young men thought that a game of
base ball might be pleasant pastime for
the afternoon and so approached party
of young men from Easton, who are camp
ing for couple or weeks, on the island,
and arranged with them for game. The
Easton boys were evidently well pleased
with the proposition for this sport and
soon decided to try their skill with our
boys. Everything was got in order and
the game began. The grounds were not
of the best, for such sport-the river on
one side and large trees on the other, in
terfering materially with the game. How
ever, what was fair for one side was con-
sidered fair for the other and the game
began in earnest. Our boys gave their
opponents ''whitewash," in the first in
ming. After this inning, however, ''Camp
Packer las the Easton boys styled them
selves, took the lead and Ringoes was
unable to catch them, although near to
them in several innings. After playing
eight innings, it was deemed best to lad
.journ.' The score stood % to 10, in
favor of "Camp Packer The game
aroused much enthusiasm among the pic
nicers and many Of them watched it with
much interest. If our boys were not sue
cessful, it was nevertheless evident to all,
that they enjoyed the sport immensely.
AS the sun was sinking in the west, the
school was again seated in the wagons
and all started on the homeward trip to
Ringoes, each one saying to himself, that
the picnic of SO, was indeed the most
enjoyable of any held for many years.

About Cats.

About Cats.
There are many good people in the First
Ward that have recently been made hap
Ply from the fact that young cat has
been born among them that possesses two
mouths, two noses an increased number
of eyes and other extra paraphernalia.
While this excitement is still high, news
comes all the way from Florida, that a
young cat has been born there also, with
two heads, two mouths and other extra
fixings 1t is calculated that these kind
of cats will be ablo to howl with one
mouth and NEW with the other, all at the
same time. Great is the fear that if this
new breed of cats increase fast or become
popular, it will put off the millennium just
5000 years. But how about our affable
and genial friend, john Purtle, Esq, at
the freight station ? He has the credit of
having received more packages of strange
cats by railroad, from unknown friends,
than any other individual in this section
of our great and glorious country. Per-
haps we may be able to hear some strange
facts about cats from that quarter soon.

An Expensive Christening.
On Sunday last, Edward Dewire thought
it his religious duty to have his newborn
child christened. Now with some it is an
old-established custom to have little hilar-
ity and jolly good time at the christen-
ing, but to Edwards loss, the "good time"
was started before the christening came
off. Nevertheless, the child was taken to
the parish priest in this city to have the
ceremony performed, and while the cere-
mony was in progress, Edward must have
forgotten himself, for he began to abuse
the priest and his household in very un-
becoming manner. A policeman was called
in and Edward was taken to the lookup,
where he remained until Monday after
noon, when he was brought before Esquire
Horn, to answer to the charges, which
was in language, as follows Edward,
you are charged by the priest with dis
turbing religious meeting or service and
other unbecoming acts at is no such
n thing, your honor, sir; there was no
meeting All the meeting there was, was
meself and me, having me own child
christened, and the priest is there himself
and he W ill say that there was no meet
ing, but me and me own child, getting
christened /; and sure, had ! no right to
say anything at me own child's christen-
ing ?'' The Justice intimated that the
priest wonld make no such complaint I'M
less there was cause. The law relatin &
to disturbing religious services was read
to him and the Justice thought best to
fine him $40 and costs for his unruly con-
duct The fine was paid, Edward retired
from the crowded room, that much poor
or, but perhaps wiser man.

Republican state Committee.

A very we'll attended meeting of the
State Republican Executive Committee
was held few days ago in Taylor's Ho-
tel Every Congressional District in the
State was represented, and reports were
heard from each district. While nothing
of definite character was reported con-
corning the coming fall campaign, thein
dications Of harmony and united action
are very encouraging. The question of
q nominee for Governor coming up, an
informal discussion was had. The name
of Hon. Fred A. Potts was mentioned
frequently, as man who will receive the
hearty support of all Republicans. The
date for the State Convention was fixed
for September 10. The Democrats have
fixed theirs FIR September ID, but they
have not yet issued a call for the election
of deleg ates. 1t WAS the prevailing opin-
ion among the Committee that Harden
bergh or Albeit will be the Democratic
nominee. Il Jersey City Journal.
