him. With this idea in view he sent q
special ambassador to interview the Eng
lsh authorities and, if possible, secure
their cooperation. Mr.. Dudley took a
hand in this affair, and, in talk with a
prominent official, called the attention .
the latter to the fact that. in the event Of
such an alliance, America would raise a
large army, invade Canada and wrest 1t
from England. The negotiations between
Napoleon and England suddenly ceased.
The third period was when the Laird
Bros. were building rams for the Confed-
eracy. 1t was given out that they were

was made to England and she was asked
to prevent the vessels from sailing. Lord
Russell said it was necessary to have ev-
idence that the boats we're for the Con-
federacy. This was furnished, but Russell
said be did not feel authorized to interfere.
Mr. Dudley concluded by saying that
this country knew little, at that time, of
what was transporting across the sea-. and
he thought it was well that we did not, for
those at home had enough to bear, and
before they were advised of the peril, the
danger had passed.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
speaker for his interesting paper.

Disastrous Fire,

| A bright light in the direction of Wood
Lane station, on Wednesday evening, led
to the impression that there was fire
not very far off, an impression that was
confirmed later when word was brought
into town that buildings on the farm Of
Job Atkinson, short distance below
Wood Lane station, had been destroyed.
| A boy about 10 years of age was sent TO
the barn after supper to throw down hay
for the cattle In descending from the
loft the boy fell, and his lantern was
broken. The oil took fire and spread
among the dry hay, and in short time
the entire building was in blaze. BY
extra efforts most of the live stock was
saved, but ten calves and two cows were
destroyed.
The barn was 75x46 feet. Another
small building stood near it, and both
were consumed. There were about As
tons of hay in the two buildings.
In addition to this there were
$50 bushels of wheat, 20 bushels of
rye, 100 bushels of oats. 10 bushels of
buckwheat, some machinery and other
things, all of which were, of courses
burned.
The wind was blowing directly toward
the farm of Richard B. Naylor, and that
gentleman was kept busy watching the
large flakes of fire that fell on his proper
ty.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, partially
insured. The buildings were insured in
the Mercer County Mutual and the Mon
mouth Mutual Insurance Companies
There was an insurance on the stock in
the Agricultural Insurance Company, OF
WATERFOWL, N. Y.

The Stone Road Mandamus.

The people in the lower part of the
county who desire stone roads, it will be
remembered, applied to the Supreme
Court for a mandamus to compel the
Board of Freeholders to accept the bids
that had been offered. This motion was
argued before the Court last week.
Charles E. Hendrickson and Joseph II.
Gaskill appeared for the applicants. and
Jerome B. Grigg and Mark R. Sooy repre-
scented the county. Justices Garrison and
Van Syckel sat as the branch Court.
The applicants desired that the Board
of Freeholders be compelled to award to
Barker & Ireland the contract to build a
road from Riverton wharf to the West
field pike.
Mr.. Gaskill had An elaborate paper pre-
pared in the shape of an argument, but it
was in reality compilation of the laws
on the subject, and the Court told him
they were thoroughly conversant with
the law.
Counsel for the County objected to the
motion to compel the contract to be given
ont, and claimed that, as the law gives
the Freeholders discretionary power, it is
to be presumed, until shown to the con-
trary, that the discretion was properly ex-
ercised, and the burden of proof to show
that it was not 30 exercised was upon the
other side.
The Court took this view of the matter
and refused to make the mandamus per-
emptory, but granted the applicants two
weeks to show that the Board had not
good reasons for its action. and made an
order that the petitioners might summon
members of the Board OF Freeholders to
give evidence, that each individual mem
Der might tell what caused the Board to
act as it did
Under this order subpenas were issued
on several of the Freeholders, and they
will appear before Court Commissioner
Vroom at the Court House to-day There
will. no doubt. be many people present
to discover how any individual member
will be able to tell what motives actuated
the entire Board.
