Written for THE RECORD.
OUR RINK.


We were agreeably surprised on last
Thursday evening, at finding ourselves a
spectator at the Carnival" In the Rink.
This being our first visit there, We were
much pleased at the comfortable ar
rangements carried out by the proprletors,
Messrs. Marbel and Duncan, for the con-
venience of their patrons. AS upon sew
eral occasions, the building was crowded.
It seemed to us as we imbibed the beauty
of the scene, that little fairy land was
spread out to our vision, and that the
youth and beauty of our city, had as
sembled to do honor to the occasion. The
grace and skill displayed by the lady
skaters, were especially marked. and re-
fleet much credit, both upon their own
efforts, as we'll as upon those of their in
structors. We would like to mention
those fair ones who exhibited such
poetry of motion, bat 1t would not do to
make selection, in fact they were all
adopts in their favorite art. 1t was at
first embarrassing, to be placed so close
to battery Of pretty faces aud sparkling
eyes, but as we soon found that they did
not deign to grant us glance we felt
more comfortable.
Prizes were offered for the prettiest,
and also the most comically dressed person
among the competitors. The former
prize, 8 pair of handsome club skates,
was won by Miss Carrie Tibbels, Of our
city; the latter, a season ticket, by Bar
roughs Sproat, also Of this city. We
could not help thinking, while we were
enjoying the scene, that Kinks had been
much censured, and in some cases unjust
ly SO. The opportunities for fashionable
dissipation, as allowed in our balls,
parties, &C., were absent here. Parents
can here have their children under their
supervision at all times. Every action is
public, no wanderings, nor privae tete-a-
tetes, in adjoining rooms, conserva tor les
and moonlight lawns, as at the aristocratic
mansions of the large cities. All Is light
and fair open dealing.

Mr.. J. johnson Lair, Of this city,
died on last Wednesday evening, from
lung disease, after several months ILL.,
ness. Mr.. Lair was man respected by
all who knew him. He was q modest
Christian gentleman, consistent in his
profe and honorable in his dealings,
and of kind and obliging disposition.
The death OF such man is loss to any
community. Mr.. Lair, week before
last, resigned his position as member
of the Common Council of this city, of
which he had been useful member.
His funeral took place last Saturday,
and was largely attended. Services were
held in the M. E. Church, the Rev. Mr..
Dilks preaching fitting sermon. Re-
marks were also made by Rev. Mr..
Strickland, former pastor, and by Rev.
DIR. Studdiford, of the Presbyterian
Church. Amwell Lodge, No. IL, F. &
A. NJ, performed the Masonic funeral
service at Mount Hope cemetery, and
Co. @. gave the usual military honors
by firing three volleys over the grave.
The funeral was also attended by Major
O. A. Angel Post, g. A. R.. and by the
Common Council of this city.
Tho melting cause Of Mr.. LARS death
was. in all probability, wound re-
ceived while in the army, q bullet having
passed through his lungs.

The Hunterdon Co. Mutual Fire
Insurance Co. Of this city, which has
been in existence for thirty-five or forty
years, has withdrawn from business and
will disbaud as soon as its affairs are
fixed up. The sharp competition be.
tween companies has drawn business
away from it to such an extent that it
WAS thought best to close up while it was
in fair standing. The properties in
sured in this company have been REIN
sured for the unexpired terms in the
German American ms. Co. of New York
--one of the strongest companies in this
country, having gross assets of nearly
four and quarter millions Of dollars.
The policy holders can congratulate
themselves that they are better protected
now than while in the II. G. Mutual.

Stones were dropped in at the top and they

"A terrible misfortune befel the family
of Mr.. John Kell, near Baptisttown, on
Monday evening of last week, resulting
In the death of one of his bright little
daughters, aged 8 years. The particulars
are about as follows, as we learn from the
Hanterdon Democrat: Rudolph Myers is
boarder with the Kell family. On SUM-
day he loaded his gun for the purpose of
having i. ready to shoot neighbours dog
which had bad habit of running out In
the road aud barking at everybody who
drove past. After loading the gun
which he says he put nothing In but
few grains of shot and hard wet wad--
he hung it up or laid it across couple of
pegs on a beam in the kitchen of the
house. Along about o'clock on Mon
day evening, Mr.. Kell reached up to
shelf near where the gun was secured,
and In SO doing knocked 1t down. In
falling It was discharged, the load graz

of their little girls who was playing in
childish innocence upon the floor, taking
her leg off below the knee. The unfor-

but after little while she revived some

REPLACING THE PIECES.
How Winnie Ream DeHed the Senate WIN
her Farragut statue Scheme.

Colonel French, who was for ten year
sergeant-at-arms Of the Senate, tells a story
Of Winnie Ream's work In the Senate base
ment on her model of the Farragut statue.
" The artists who competed for the sac, 600
ordered by the Government for statue of
the Admiral all sent in miniature figures
except Winnie. There were some twenty or
more altogether. I put them in committee
room, arranged in no particular order, but
set them down one after another as they
came. One day Winnie came driving UP
the hill with her Farragut in q wagon. II
was as big as you now see it in bronze.
Somehow the four or Ave men she had to
help get it out let it slip, and in trice il
was smashed into smithereens. The
little Wisconsion woman was wild. She
came up stairs wringing her hands and
shaking her curls, and shrieked out
"oh, Mr.. French, Mr.. Frenchf they
have broken my Fsrragut- Can't you help
me; l want every piece saved"
1 ordered every man I could spare to 90
down and pick up Vinnie's statue. After
several hours they got the pieces inside and
arranged SO abe could begin to put the
figure together again. Such picnic as she
had for week after that you never saw. II
was just the chance she wanted. She set
the thing out in the passageway to the Sen.
ate Post Office, donned her working garh
and went OF il. There were two hundred
people gathered all the time to see her
sticking her beloved Farragut together.
Finally the Senators began to complain.
They wanted to get to the Post Office and
couldn't for the crowd. / went down and
told Winnie she must move back out OF
sight.

But said I, the Senators want this
passage-way clear
"'Don't care shan't move q bit.'
"'Well, you will. You are attracting o
great crowd here every day, and the Ssna.
tors find it impossible to get to the post
office. am sorry to disturb you, but shall
be obliged to do so.'
&c You are no friend of mine, Mr..
French you hate me, you hate Mr.. Farra-
gut. shan't move, and I don't like You

"' said couldn't help all that. She
must get her statue out Of the passage or
should move it for her. She didn't 60, and
I finally had to send che capital police
down. They drove her away from her
statue, set it back in good out Of the
way place, and then abe went on and fn-
shed 1t up in hurry. General Sherman
and Mrs. Farragut said IL was the best like
ness of the models shown, and Winnie came
off victor. She has received about ESQ.,.
900 altogether from the Government, cas-.
900 of ii being for her very dull sculpture

Why it is, we are unable to explain,
but great many people seem to have the
idea that all the type for the newspaper is
set up the day of publication. Long
communications are sent in at the last
hour and local matter, etc., that might
have been sent to the editor days before,
are delayed until the day Of issue. 1t
would greatly accommodate us IL all con-
tributions were sent as soon as possible.

The Trenton State Gazette says /:
The people who live along the river are
in mood to rejoice because nearly all
danger of trouble seems to be passed
There is q clear space In the middle of
the stream, in size about one fourth Of it's
entire width, and 1t extends from the
railroad bridge to Titusville, and some
say as far up stream as Easton. The
opening from Whites Island to the bridge
is almost as strait as an arrow. Below
the Trenton bridge the river is still
closed, but the ice is rotting and will
probable soon give way. Cakes of Ice are
being gradually detached and are floating
down stream. In their course they strike
the ice ends at the opening aud thus cause
it to slowly but surely grow wider. The
ice gorge at Trenton has become an ice
bridge. An opening has been made in
the lower part through which the water
passes freely. The only danger now Is
from freshet which no one is apprehen.
sive will occur.
