The heavy rain of Monday morning
did much damage to the roads leading
to this city, washing away much of the
roadbed in many places. Fields were
flooded, and washed where the lay of
the land was inclined and recently
plowed. The meadow east of Main
street was covered with water about
three feet deep, MS the embankment OF
the York Road creek gave way and let
the whole current pass that way till the
obstruction about Main street bridge
damned it to a great extent.
This creek was so swollen that at the
bend about the York Road bridge, near
J. s. Everitt's house. it began to over
flow and come down York street, bnt
before much damage was done. the rain

The Philadelphia Record, in speaking
Of the Investment of English money in
mercantile pursuits in this country, is
careful not to tell the reason. Here it is:
Glorious free.trade England is, because
of the fact, mighty poor place to in

acknowledges 1t by putting his money in
to trade here. BY contrastive reason
ing, would not our money go to England
or somewhere else, IL we had free trade.
Not nearly so much of it would find the
poor mans pocket then as IL does now,

Last Thursday afternoon, while a
shower was raging few miles east of
Pennington Junction. couple Of Phil
lipsburg painters were ct work with
their brushes on the depot building at
Junction. One Of them had his arm
resting ON one Of the many telegraph
wires that enter the depot. when all at
once he stopped work and set up com.
plant that his fellow workman had
struck him on the arm with club. The
man accused promptly denied the charge
and he was. as matter Of fact, entirely
innocent. The wires had attracted the
lightning, as they always do when an
electric storm prevails in their vicinity,
and ran along them. 1t was electricity
that had struck the painter. He was
not seriously hurt, and 10 an hour was
able TO resume his work. Station agent
Robert Storr explained the phenomenon
to the astonished workman, and he was
satisfied. Democrat.

7. Tbere nid,len coal IN HunterfIon

Is There Hidden Coal In Hunterdon?
Some specimens, says the Hunterdon
Democrt, of anthracite coal have been
left at this printing Office by Mr. Rich
ard FROST, of near Croton. He says that
he found them in his peach orchard, and
that perhaps ton or two of just such
pieces have been turned up by the pillow
and harrow during the past year or two
in the same field, and they are now lying
upon the top of the ground. The coal
does not seem to be spread over the en-
tire field, but is confined to narrow
strip, probably fifteen or twenty feet in
width. Can it be that there is bed of
hard coal hidden beneath the surface Of
Mr.. Prost's orchard The Indications
point that way, or how else is the pres
ence of the specimens spoken of to be
accounted for? 1t would be big thing
for the Croton vicinity were il to develop
coal field.
