There was reaping match last
Saturday, on the farm of c. A. Atkinson,

present to enter into competition, this
machine took the first prize.
On last Thursday evening, our New
Hope correspondent, while passing along
the road leading from Daniel Ely's farm
in Solebury, to the main river road, wit
messed the passage of large meteor,
through the north western horizon. 1t
was proceeding in due westerly direc-
ton and moved with regularity apparent.

under these circumstances, not inappro-
pirate to disturb the quietness of the
foliage, from which the birds were now
sweetly singing when the Robbins nest
again. The boys then being on the
war path, serenaded Mr.. A. Il. Stockton,
and then marching to the residence of
the genial DIR. Parry, they rendered him

the Council itself might fix for one year.
The Resolutions were adopted without a
dissenting voice, and the street committee
were authorized to arrange with Mr..
Coryell for definite rate. Some CONVEX
sation ensued about the sort of fountain
to be procured and location, but no action
was taken thereon and both were left to
the Committee. One thing is certain, if
property holders object to having them
located upon such places as the committee
may desire to select, they may be placed
upon public property without detriment
TO anybody. One in front of the First
Ward School house, one on Main street at
the Third Ward School house, and tho
third in front of the city lot, will afford a
fair convenience.

would be surprised to see what amount of
business is done at this city. We
have a large scope of country around us

as far as fifty or sixty miles from here.
l wish you could DO here at this time

Rocks county, and see the splendid fans
and crops all along the valley. The farm
ers tell me that there has never been q
better crop Of wheat raised in this state
than there is going to be this year, and all
other crops are looking very promising.
It was astonishing to see The car loads of

speaking to one of them and he said that
he had sold over fifty headers and self
binders, and the others, think have sold

The visit of Company e, N. G., ofN.
j., of this city, to Frenchtown, on July
4th, to engage in target practice there,
was a very pleasant one. Upon their ar
rival in the town, they paraded the streets
until noon, when they repaired to the
hotel to enjoy substantial banquet in
store for them. After dinner they march
ed to the grounds and engaged in rife
practice. There were four prizes 20 be
competed for, viz: Three gold medals and
one of silver. The first two prizes were
won by Corporals Slack and Cook, with a
score of 81. The third prize was won by
Private Horn, with score of 49, The
fourth prize by d score of II, tie between
Sergeant Murray and Private Heath.
There was a pleasant incident in connec-
tion with the affair. 1t was first thought
advisable to have special police appointed
by the town authorities, for the day, but
upon second thought the idea was aban-
doned. The reputation of our '.soldier
boys was fully sustained ny their noble
bearing during their presence in the
town. En-route and return, not case of
intoxication, yet surrounded with the en-
ticing beverage on all sides.

The Fourth passed off very pleas
antly in this city. There was not as muoh
noise as usual on the night previous, and
there was an almost entire absence of the
shooting of guns and pistols, which hrs
heretofore been SO great nuisance.

largo hall of that Institution, last We'd
nesday evening. There was large at
tendance of the parents, relatives and
friends of the scholars and the general

set off with a semi-circular back ground
of white muslin, festooned with scarlet
bunting, tastefully arranged; the curtains
were of red cloth and of the kind styled
the ''draw" curtain. The exercises Of the
school began with chorus, 'To the
West sung by the scholars; their exit
from the stage was marked by pretty
counter march, which met with the APP
plause of The audience. The ssSalutatory"
by M. Mcconnell, was well rendered. This
was followed by well-acted comedy, en-
titled ga Public Benefactor piece.
IRE itation and Song i" the "Farmer,'
was then introduced, number of boys
were attired in black knee breeches, white
shirts and red stockings, and presented a
fine appearance. The rendition of this
piece was excellent, and exhibited good
training on the part of the little actors.
A recitation, "The Old Flag" by Master
Mcconnell, was very good. A song, ''Hen
Convention" was finely executed, and
much admired by the audience. The COM
edy, '0flice Seekers" was source of
much amusement, aud elected consider
able applause. The dialogue, "Cure for
Deafness by Masters Butler and Callan,
was extremely interesting; it was render
ed in true operate style, and was we'll re-
ceived by all. The Song, 'Ring the Bell
Watchman," by the entire troupe of little
boys, was the sweetest song of the entire
evening and was highly greeted and APP
preciated. recitation that followed,
entitled "Boys will be Boys" given by
the little boys, in costume, was pleasing
and very creditable. The remaining ex-
ercises consisted of dialogues, songs and
farce, ga Sea of Troubles" that was
really side splitting and well acted. After
the song, "Jedediah," by the troupe,
one representing girl, very humorous,
the exercises closed. The Rev. Father
Brady then explained TO the audience the
nature and object of the school, the work
that had been done then by the Sisters
of Mercy, and the interest they had taken
to train the hearts as well as the minds of
the scholars. He spoke of the infancy Of
the school, this being only the end of the
first year, and what had already been
done, as shown in the exhibition of
youthful talent that night. His remarks
were pointed, to the purpose and distinct
ly appropriate 10 the occasion. The whole
affair was highly creditable, and proved
an enjoyable occasion.

this State to the Democratic National
Convention to be held at Chicago the
