Ne-A Pittsburg paper publishes an extract
rom an old diary, which tells of visit made
fifty -four years ago to lighthouse at Erie, Penn
slvania, which, even at that early day, was
lighted with natural gas. The supply was OBJ
hined from what was known as the burning
pring, which was the name of q sheet of water
trough which the gas bubbled. At one place,
'here there were many bubbles continually COM
ng up, tower about twenty feet in diameter
vas erected. The gas accumulated in this during
the day and at night was led off by wooden
pipe to the lighthouse on the shore of the lake.
There are similar burning springs in Canada, but
they do not seem to bear any close relation to the
gas bearing wells that are sunk in the western
part of Pennsylvania and whose products are
now so successfully employed in the great iron
and glass works.

Esy- The Baltimore EUening NeWs is not pleased
with the bill now before the Legislature for the
extension of the city's limits-at least with that
portion of it which exempts that section from the
cty's rate of taxation until certain period. The
Ne,os is very willing TO have the Belt, but it don't
believe in the "coddling" business and wants it,
when it does come in to pay its proportion of the
Ne,os says "there should be no annexation on one
side of the city to the exclusion of other sections
there should &c no other inducements offered to
property owners in the Belt than are already
given to those within the present city area; there
should be no exemptions allowed one class of peo-
pie to the exclusion of others. If the people of
the Belt come in and become part of the city, they
should have every protection, convenience and
improvement that the most favored sections of the
city enjoy. But premium should not be set upon
their property to the disadvantage of the rest of
the city, as is proposed in some quarters. v =
Such discrimination would give property owner
just outside of the city an immense advantage
over his immediate neighbors. His property
would sell more readily and be moro desirable be-
cause of its special exemption from taxes than

be that the shrewd owners of ground Just beyond
the city limits and within a comparatively small
area, would have an immense demand created for
their property and q substantial premium put
upon it,"

@-The Old Town (Baltimore) ADVOCATE pub
fishes highly colored story about the contempla.
ted improvements by the Baltimore and Ohio R.
r. Company to Back River in this county. The
river, where the P. w. & B. Railroad crosses it,
short distance out from Baltimore, is little more
than marsh, with here and there some deep
water. The B. G O.'s new line to Philadelphia
crosses the same river some distance further up,
and the Advocate's story ia that the bed of the
river is to be dredged from the B. q 0.'s point of
crossing to the Bay, as to admit of the passage
of the largest vessels. That paper then says that
the B. & O. Company will erect large elevators
and coal piers at its point of crossing Back river,
thus making it very important and valuable de-
pot. This all looks very pretty on paper but per-
haps the Advocate did not think of the many mil
lions Of money it would require to carry out the
project We hope the Advocate may live to see
the consummation of its really ingenious plan.

Ng-M Miss Katharine Lee Bayard, eldest daugh-
ter of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, Secretary of State,
was found dead in bed at her fathers residence
in Washington, at two o'clock on Saturday after
noon last. She had held reception the evening
previous and before retiring, about three o'clock in
the morning, requested that she be not disturbed
until late in the day, as she was to receive with
Miss Cleveland that afternoon. When momber
of the family went to call her to dress for the
White House reception, it was discovered that she
was dead. The sudden death of this popular
young lady was terrible shock to her family and
friends and cast gloom over the social circle of
which she was prominent member Miss Bayard
had suffered from keart tTouble and had been
warned by her physician against any undue ex-
citement or fatigue. 1t is believed that she taxed
her energies too much on Friday night and this
brought on an attack of heart disease which
caused her DEATH Her remains were inferred at
Wilmington, Del, on Tuesday. Miss Bayard was
20 years of age and was devoted to her father,
whose household she had been many times called
upon to preside over, owing to he delicate health

10 During the late cold weather there was
much suffering among the poor OF Baltimore city,
q great deal of which was relieved by the police
with contributions of money, provisions, clothing,
&c. Since the first of January about $4,000 was
received at the several police stations, and with
this money the officers were enabled to relieve 1000
families, embracing 1900 persons. The good
work has been going on steadily and the pressing
necessities of the deserving poor have been to a
great extent relieved, although it is safe to say
that thousands of families who are in actual want
have been deferred through pride from applying
to the police stations for assistance.
