There was quiet in the harbor yesterday after
the unprecedented series of mishaps which took
place on Saturday. The principal incident OF
the day was the floating Of the New-York
which after being somewhat lghtened, came
off easily at high water in the morning, with
out having sustained any damage. The Clyde and
the Ailsa-the latter having suffered through
neglect of the good old rule that vessels at
anchor have the right Of way-remained in the
positions they took up voluntarily or otherwise
directly after the collisions, and were objects OF
curious interest to numerous spectators along
shore Each vessel was severely injured. but
the Alsa will doubtless be raised and both will
be restored to a condition Of comparative USE

mission or a referendum To securing these

are concerned ii was made plain at meeting
which they held yesterday that they will resist

refuse TO 20 into caucus In case one Is c'iiel
on this question. They are clearly under moral
obligation 10 pursue this course, and they Will be
supported by the public sentiment OF their city.
Notwithstanding the recent improvements
made In the pavements Of Brooklyn, our Long

OF being the great cobblcstone-pavcd city OF the
country: and even II the rate OF progress OF the

Judge D. P. Stratton, of Nevada,
has returned from Greenfield where
he has been holding his regular term
of court. Speaking of the session
at Greenfield Mr.. Stratton is quoted
by the Nevada Mail yesterday: "We
had a negro on the jury at Green

experience of the kind, since being
on the bench, and, indeed, the first
event of the sort in Dade county.
We also, at the term just passed,
admitted Mrs. America Louise Joslin
to the bar, after passing very salts

and raised in Dade county and is
about 35 years old. Her husband
is a lawyer at South Greenfield"

OBITUARY..
A dark cloud settled over the
once happy home of our sister An
ME Comiford, on March 10th, when
the great enemy, death, entered her
home and claimed for it's victim, our
| brother wiley Comiford in the 45th
year of his life. Bro. Comiford con-
fessed his faith in Christ and was
baptized by Elder w A Miller, and
has since been follower of Him who
said, "FollOw me that you may
have eternal life" His character was
unspotted by many of the evils that
cross life's pathway. Bro Comiford
was universally loved for his unseltish
devotion to the interest of others,
and everyone loved him. In his death
the neighborhood sustains the loss of
one of it's most worthy citizens. The
home where strong ties of love exist
ed is now broken, leaving it desolate.
Never again will you hear the loving
voice of your dear one on earth, but
we would not call him back, to suffer
again what he has, nor wake him
from his death slumbsr, but wait
again the resurrection morn, when
this mortal shall put on Immortality
where his feet tread paths bordereC
by such flowers as earth never knew
and lips taste water of which W.
never dream. May the dear wife an(
brother, who did everything in hu
man power to save him, willingl!
yield to the will of Him who doetf
all things well. He leaves wife
brother and three half-brothers OF
this side "To live in the hearts o
those we love is not to die" He wa
buried March Goth at the Virgini,
grave yard.

A very funny, yet rather serious
affair is reported from Sbamokin Pa.
Mrs. Jane Morton of Irish Valley,
near there, was being delivered of a
child, when her daughter Mrs
Hannah Foster, Of Trevorton. who
was at her mothers bedside, was
taken sick suddenly, and also gave
birth to child.
Both women occupied the same
bed and the attending physician
mixed the babies. One Of the child
rem is a boy and the other is a girl
but no one knows which belongs to
which mother At length MrF.
Morton said she would take the gir!
as she had several sons already and
would really prefer another daughter
whereas Mrs. Foster wanted boy.
As the matter now stands, Mrs
Morton does not know whether she
is nursing her daughter Or grand
daughter, nor does Mrs Foster know
whethsr she is rearing her brother
or her son
