five villages, and the business has nearly doubled in the past four years. Horseback riding has become quite the fad in Passaic with the young people, and there are some excellent riders among them. 1t is almost needless to say that their faces are tinged with the rosy glow of health that this sport induces. III is no unusual thing to see parties of six and eight on the road at a time, and many pleasant br5ishes take place in the course of these rides. The sport is certainly getting very fashionable there. "a Now would be a good time for the Ocean I county Freeholders to remind Senator Blodgett of his promise to make a span in the railroad bridge over Shark River. The trains are not so numerous at this season as to prevent the work being done, and unless something is < done soon the river, the great attraction of the place, will have been completely ruined, and property will depreciate in value and the county will lose con- siderable by way of taxes. 1t is too bad that such a productive and beautiful sheet of water should be ruined, when a very little expense wonld save it. The oyster ground is well nigh destroyed and scarcely q fish can get into the river. Mayor Male, Of PlainHeld, organized the first fire engine company in .Jersexs City That was away back in the thirties.. This item will interest the people of Plainheld and Jersey City and possibly the firemen about the State, but what will interest perhaps the entire country is the forgotten fact that he designed the plans for the ferry bridges upon which so many mill lions of people pass to and from on ferry boats, and planned them SO well that no material i'm proyement has been found during the many in terveulng years.

SOME interesting experiments of ploughing by electricity took place the other day at Noisiel, in France, in the park of the well-knOwn Deputy and chocolate maker, NJ. Menier. The mo- tive power was supplied to the plough by a Gramme machine, itself set in motion by water power, which is abundant on M. Menier's estate, The plough did about the same work as if it were drawn by four oxen. 1t was Fowler plough, with six shares. The motive power was supplied by wire at distance of nearly half a mi e.
