We wonder what Squads" are worth

a certain spot just now.

an early date. The structure is an i'm
posing one and does great credit to boil
the architect, the builder and our Cathol
friends, here. Now let us have some NOR
improvements going on IN our town.
The 4th passed off very quietly in on
town. Several of our citizens were alb
sent on visit to their mothers-in. law

was quite deserted in consequence. TIT
band paraded our streets in the morning
after their march with the "Haymakers.'
Their new uniforms were respondent il
gorgeous hues, and it reminded us of The
days of Arabic splendor and of orienta
magniflcence. They (the Haymakers.

Mr. Chester d. Ely, of Paterson, N
j., son of Mr.. Stephen s. Ely, of New
Hope, has been appointed Deputy Collcc-
tor of Internal Revenue for that District
The Paterson Daily Guardian says:
sMr. Ely is good man to succeed Mr..
Oatman, and there is no doubt that he
will fill his position creditably. He has
received the congratulations of hundreds
of friends to-day, and his appointment
seems to give general satisfaction to the
Democrats of Paterson. Mr.. Ely is SO
popular that as soon as his appointment
was known among his friends he had vol
untary offers of twice as much security
as the law requires. 1t will take him fully
month to become familiar with the du-
ties of the position, and he will not take
formal possession of the office until Aug.
1st."
