Some of the residents of Mount Holly
avenue were quite disturbed on awaken
ing one morning last week by finding
that the telephone wires attached to their
houses had been cut. Four residences
had been affected and the occupants are
at loss to know why they were selected.
During the night when the work was
done a dog in the neighborhood barked
loud and long and was probably aroused
by those who were engaged in cutting
wires. No clue has been discovered in
the matter and it is not known whether
the act was the result of mischief, malic-
iousness, or whether there was to be an
attempt at burglary.
One hundred and twenty-five men,
bers of the Northampton Fire Depart
ment, in body, attended services at the
Presbyterian church, Sunday evening,
in response to an invitation by the pas
tor, Rev. Frank Willcock. The.latter |
was finishing series of sermons and |
had not prepared one especially for this |
occasion for he found that his text and |
discourse were appropriate to the occas-
ION. The music was fine, especially the |
contraltO solo of Mrs. Trowbridge, who |
has charming voice. This lady also |
sang at the Nj. r. Church in the morn-i
ing and her rendition of the music was |
greatly appreciated by the congregation.
In order to get some line on the |
amount of travel over the Pennsylvania |
railroad crossing at Pine street, where a |
man was recently killed and where the |
cOrOner's jury requested the placing of |
safety gates, THE NEWS secured some |
figures covering three days within the
past three weeks. They are as follows:
railroad trains, As; autos, 1855;
teams, 324; foot passengers 535; Sunday

llS; teams, FAB; foot passengers, 1885, In
cidentally we are informed that the
dagman goes on duty at the Pine street
soon after six O'Clock in the
and remains on until after nine
at night. Pretty good hours.
