A REMARKABLE RUN.
From Philadelphia to Washington, 149
Mules, in IJ1 Minutes.

From Philadelphia to Washington, 149
Mules, in 151 Minutes.
On Sunday last special train was run
from Philadelphia to Washington over
the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Balti-
more and Baltimore & Potomac railroads,
and made probably the fastest time, con-
sidering the length of the run, known in
the history of railroads in this country.
The train was chartered by prominent
attorney of Boston who was DESTROYS of
reaching Washington at the earliest mo-
ment possible. He came from Jersey
City on the New York and Chicago linn
tied express, leaving at 9.15 and reaching
no. regular train for Washington until
G.03 p. M, and being aware of this fact
he had made arrangements in Jersey City
for his special train for Washington. The
SIP :cial, consisting of engine No. sc and
one passenger coach was in waiting, in
charge of Conductor Charles Stewart and
Engineer Stephen Hurd. At II 2S o'clock
a. H., the start was made and at ZIG p.
m. the train stopped in the Baltimore &
Potomac depot at Washington. The
time consumed in the run was 2 hours
and As minutes. but as II minutes were
lost by stops, the actual running time is
reduced to hours and 81 minutes, max
ing the unparalleled run of l49 miles in
157 minutes. The stops were three min
utes at Wilmington, three minutes at
Perryville, two minutes at Baltimore
and three minutes at Stony Run, on the
b. e p. road, to pass the slow mail
which left Philadelphia at 80 a. m, =
hours and Is minutes ahead of the spe-
cial. Considering the slowing up through
Chester Wilmington and Baltimore,
most of the run was made at the rate of
less than mile per minute. The Boston
attorney who was treated to this flying
journey by rail, said the road was by far
the smoothest he ever travelled over,
and was astonlshed at the speed and de-
lighted with the perfect arrangements
with which it was accompanied. The
run is a prominent topic among railroad
men, and is considered one of the great
accomplishment of modern railroadlng.

A Tribute to the Late Bishop.

Bishop Henry G. Potter, of New York,
at the recent session of the diocesan
convention, spoke as follows of Bishop
Lay: The Bishop of Easton has fin
ished his missionary work-for a mis-
sionary work it was from the beginning
to the end-and the tired brain and
hands are at rest. He died, l believe, of
angina pectoras, and appropriately, for
his great heart throbbed responsibility to
every sorrowful plea, and went out IN
reseryedlyto the least and low Hest of
his brethren. Bishop Lay was some
times called the Leighton Of the Ameri-
great archbishop lived anew i'll him in
such generous measure that no one dis
puted the fitness of the designation.
What he was as writer, a scholar, q
preacher, a citizen, most of you know as
we'll as |, but observing him as l did
while serving him and others for seven
teen years as Secretary of the House of
Bishops, | came to think of him as a
counsellor. He saw the issue of pro-
posed lines of action with Il marvellous
and almost unerring vision. His voice
was never uncertain, and it was never
feverish or impatient. His very PIES
ence Gained and restrained, and his
opinions gently and quietly expressed
and singularly just and fair, had the
force and solemnity oftentimes of ju-
dicial decision. His loss to the house in
which he sat for nearly thirty years, to
the diocese of which he was the first
bishop, and to the whole church IN this
land is one which may we'll make us 90
mourning for many days. May God
give to us all something of his singular
simplicity, dignity and devotion in his
Masters work"' This eloquent sum-
mary of Bishop Lays virtues will appear
more valuable from having been uttered
by one whose persual relationship with
the deceased was SO close and warm. 1t
is true, as Bishop Potter states, that
Bishop Lays greatness lay not alone in
his ScllolaISulp anu Wlue wisdom OF &C.
clesiastical laws but in his unsurpassed
ability as counsellor. To the young
members of the church throughout every
parish that came under his charge he was
particularly loved for his kindly manner
of giving advice and gentle way of di-
recting them to proper course. The
lortieSt aim of BishOp Law was to teach
men their true lives A life true to God
and true to man, with faith in God and
faith in man, is the high ideal the Bishop
set up, and he will be forever blessed for
the many many cases that became con-
verts to this sublime theory through
his teachings and counsel.

are still taking degrees at the institution
established by the seli-sacrilice of their
ancestors. Through all this growth,
Presbytesianism in Pennsy lvania and
throughout the United States has re-
markedly preserved its early character.
OF rather marked intellectual obstinacy
and tenacious of its simple forms, this
unyielding church has triumphed over
one great doctrinal chsm and is pa
tiently endeavoring to close the breach
made i'll its ranks by years of civil war.

Pursuant to resolution of the Legislature,
Gov. Alger has issued the following proola-
nation:
Il. Russell A. Alger, governor OF the state
of Michigan, do hereby designate Saturday,
the eleventh day of April, A. d., 1880, as
Arbor Day, and earnestly recommend that on
that date we plant trees by the roadside, by
our fsrm-houses, IN our fields, parks, villages,
and cities. around our school-houses, and in
the cemeteries where sleep our beloved dead.
Let us plant for use as well as for beauty.
We may not live to enjoy the full fruits OF
this work, but our children and our children y
children will receive the benefits OF our
labor"
1.-THE people would but properly observe
the duties enjoined by the above proclama-
ton. at each returning spring, they. would
not only be identifying the country and in
oreasing its wealth, but would be atoning in
some slight degree for their previous ruthless
destruction of forest trees.

The Common Council.

Our village council held a meeting on
Wednesday evening of last week. The
question of the right of the president and
recorder to vote as members of the board,
again came up for discussion. The opinion
OF the prosecuting attorney, alluded to in our
last paper, was presented TO the board. Trus-
bee Hilton presented an opinion by the at
torney general holding that the recorder
had no vote, under any circumstances, but
that the president was entitled to vote on all
questions. Village attorney Heckert was
present and adhered to the opinion, for
merly expressed by him, that both the presi-
dent and recorder were members of the
board and entitled TO a vote. President May
nard decided in accordance with the opinion
of the village attorney, but recorder Buck
declined 10 exercise what he evidently con-
sidered a doubtful right at best, and did not
vote.
A motion prevailed TO proceed to the cleo
ton of village marshal. The first ballot
stood j. L. Billiard B. IL. Flanders 2, A. Ste
venson l. Several ballots were taken stand
ing for Billiard and for Flanders. Sub
sequent ballots were 3 for Billiard and 8 for
John Woodman. The final ballot was 4 for
Ballard and > for Woodman, thus electing
Bullard. There were present and voting, the
president and five trustees, trustee Clapp
being absent. B.F Heckert was reelected
village attorney by q unanimous vote. The
council adjourned until Wednesday evening,
Aprii 22d, at $50.
