Back TO HIS Old Love.

The Ridgewood Herald has changed
hands, Brainard G. Smith being the
new proprietor and editor. Mr.. Smith
has had somewhat varied career in
journalism. Thirty-five years ago he
was enrolled on the reportorial staff Of
the New York Sun and was accounted
one Of the ablest of an exceedingly able
force. After several years Of city life
he was obsessed by visions Of the Joys,
honors and profits attaching to coun-
try newspaper life and early in 1877 he
purchased the Ellenyille IN. Y J Jour
pal. Eleven months experience, and
the visions were rent in tatters. Then
he went back to the city. Appointed
professor OF journalism at Cornell he
remained there several years and then
accepted professorship at Colgate
University For several years he has
edited the Ithaca Daily Journal, Civ
ing up that position to again enter life
in country newspaper office.

The Essex County Board of Free
holders has voted to pay sl5 900 toward
the 100000 on the bridge to carry
Bloomfield avenue over the Lackawan-
ma tracks at Montclair. The Newark
Evening News says concerning the ac-
tion;
There has been no explanationas as
yet as to why the members of the board
are convinced that the county should
pay one cent toward the Improvement
made for the benefit exclusively of the
railroad company and the trolley com
pany. These corporations could have
been compelled to eliminate the grade
crossing without receiving dollar
from the public treasury. The only
excuse for the county paying portion
of the cost is that the precedent was
set by Newark when it contributed SO
heavily TO the elevation of the tracks
IN this city. But a bad example ought
to have been avoided rather than fol-
lowed, and the Freeholders will realize
their mistake later
