The commendable energy of the board of freeholders of Middlesex county in extending its system of stone roads suffers no abate-: ment. At the meeting this morning were received a number of petitions from property holders for the macadamizing of roads "and these will be acted on as soon as possible. Seven teen-members attended tho meeting. Tlie report of the finance committee shbwM a balance on "hand of fl "the be-; ginning of the month receipts, disbursements, $14,437.95, leaving on hand for the mouth of October $31,319.41.

By resolution the finance committee was authorized to have discounted a note for 87,000 at 8 months to provide funds for county collector in anticipation of nest year's tax levy. Chairman Fountain, of the roads committee, reported that the contractors had completed the macadamizing of the road from Metuchen to Holly's corner; that it was job satisfactory in every respect, aud that the recommended that it be accepted and paid for. The recommendation was adopted. Messrs. Garretson and Mnlvey reported that the bridge between South Plainfleld and New Market, which they had been apj ointed to inspect, was in a dangerous condition.

After some discussion to available funds the committee was authorized to rebuild the bridge at a cost not to exceed $500. A petition from residents for specifications to be drawn up for the macadamizing of the road from South Amboy to South River was granted, as was a similar petition askiag for specifications for a road from Old Bridge to Spots wood. Considerable discussion then ensued as to when and how these roads-were to be paid fur if built. The law, It was explained, permits a county to borrow money lor road improvement in anticipation of the net year's tax levy. The $20,000 appropriation this year was to pay for roads bulltlast year, aud roads built this year will be paid for next year.

Mr, Fountain then Informed the board that President Burroughs, of tbe State Board of Agriculture, had notified him that Mercer couuty had not used the $10,000 of state money apportioned to it for road improvements, and that Middlesex county might have all it wanted of this amount. In view of this letter Mr. Fountain moved that bids be advertised ior for the completion of the Madison township road. This was carried, and the road will be contracted for and built as soon as possible. All members were requested to bring in at the next meeting an estimate of the amount that would be needed in their townships for bridges, so that the finance committee might provide for next year.

Freeholder Snedeker moved that the committee inspect the road from Griggstown tg "Mbnmoutn" Junction with a view to Slaving it macadamized. The board then adjourned after ordering paid all bills properly audited and signed. BOILED ALITE.

The English military tournament at the Madison Square garden is the howling success It deserves to be, as it has not been puffed, up by illegitimate methods, has earned its popularity by an honest effort to give good value for the price of admission. This enterprise was organizedjia London as attraction for. the Chicago Fair, where it mode a great bit. All the officers and men have served In the British army, and many of them are crack riders, polo players and experts in the army games of spearing small objects placed on tbe ground when riding at full speed on horseback, and cutting lemons pendant from swaying strings, with sword strokes aimed when In full gallop.

There are detachments from the following celebrated troops: The Life Guards, Red, organized in 1610; the 43d regiment, better known as the Black Watch, a highland regiment which has fought 156 "battles, and never known defeat in any quarter of the world. It wears a full Scotch uniform and has a piper and boy dancer who dances a highland fling to the uproarous applause of all the, sons of "the land cakes" who nightly, fill the house. There is also a batallion of the famous Irish regiment, the Connaught Rangers, organized by the great Irish soldier, the Duke of Wellington, for service In Spain In 1809. A member of this regiment is the champion bayonet user of the British army and his nightly contest with a gigantic Black Watch soldier is watched" with breathless attention by scores of our regular army and: national guardsmen. The band is a fine one i and our bandsmen would do well to Imitate true tonal effoctay which arer free from the noise and blare of brass, which I our American bands nave acquired from too i much practice of German military band com- i positions, instead of the Italian and French works plaped here a generation ago.

One of the direct failures of the amusement season is a farce comedy written by a man who caters to the fast set of the tenderloin district, In which the author has abused clergymen, whom bedenounces as hypocrites, and put fine moral maxims into the mouths of evil doers. There are jolly songs, amusing situations and witty dialogues play, but its flings and coarse abuse of the clergy, have, in the words of a competent manager of many years' experience, killed the play." It is a mistake to suppose that persons of vicious proclivities, or careless livers desire to see good people maligned or held up to ridicule on the stage; even the most abandoned characters of Paris like to see virtue triumphant and vice exposed on the stage, and any play offered for their entertainment may be highly spiced with vile situations and Improper words, but it must end in the good old fashion; with the wicked ones punished by the law, and the erring woman comforted by Monsieur le Cure'. So It Is on theJLmerican stage, no play has ever prospered religion or. virtue was mocked. Such plays have been: put'on the boards in New York and in the free and easies of Roaring Gulch, and hissed by men and women of evil reportin the community, who could not forget the deference which virtue exacts from vice.

Mr. and Mm. Eendal and their company of admirable players will begin their fourth American season fn New York on Oct. dthv The first production will be the "Second Mrs. Tanqueray, 1 a comedy by Mr.

PInero, which baa been performed with great success in London daring the past summer. Mr. J. E. Dodson, as Cayley Drummle, created a furore In London, and the readers of this journal who have seen this clever, painstaking and artistic comedian in past seasons, will be, glad to see him in a part which him like glove.

All the ladies and gentlemen of the company whom I saw today, were unaffectedly glad to be again under the folds of the stars and stripes, and I know from personal correspondence with several of tbe company whilst they were in Europe last year, that they looked ly forward to the blue skies and sunlit days, keen air, and thousand and one delights and comforts which make this land the brightest and best on which the sun shines. Several choral societies of this city are rehearsing "East to compossed by Professor Villiers Sandford, of London, set to words bj Algernon Swinburne, and dedicated to the people of the United States. It Is a brief work occupying not more than a quarter of an hour In performance; but it la well worthy of the composer, and It Is difficult to perceive how Mr. Swinburne's lines could, have been mom appropriately set. The music Is for chorus and orchestra" only, and several sections, which follow each other without a break, the final return of the solemn opening theme giving symmetry to the whole.

In his illustration of the concluding lines, "And the of the of the world wide one ttUth. worlds life die." The composer divides his voices Into eight parts with singularly Imposing effect. The ode is well worthy of the attention of choral ieties generally, for it is by no meant difficult, tlte vocal part writing being beautifully clear, and uf equal Interest for all the voices. I should like to Jiear a rendition of work by the admirable company of singers who performed the "Pirates of Pen- sance, tbe opera house in New Brnos- lttt spring.

TBESTON, Oct. has been con. slderable criticism lawyers In this city over the" action of Vice Chancellor Bird yesterday In Issuing an order for the release of Mrs. House from the Trenton asylum. House, It will be remembered, was committed to the asylum on Sept.

8 last upon the certificate of William S. Yard, of the court of common pleas, who judged her insane upon the certificate ef Drs. Elmer Hs Rogers and Wflllani Bice. The.ocmmitpaetit was made by the Judge by virtue of the twentieth and twenty-first sec tions of the lunatic asylum act. Mrs.

House's made the point that the the act under which she they violated the constitution guaranteeing notlceof trial by jury before person can be deprived of liberty. Messrs. John H. Backes and Edwin B. Walker, counsel for William Anderson, Mrs.

House's son, held that the federal constitution-did not encroach upon the state's rights unless tbe state was specifically referred to and that the New Jersey constitution only provided for commitment by due process of law. The vice chancellor held that Mrs. House had received no notice of the trial before insane without the intervention of a trial by jury, he decided that she was illegally deprived of her liberty whether she was sane or insane. De. Ward, of the Trenton asylum, stated that ninety per cent, of the inmates of the Trenton asylum had been sent there on the certificate of two physicians by a 'common pleas judge, and that had been the practice for years, and according to this decision all of them are Illegally restrained and could be set at liberty.

Lawyer Backes stated last evening that this decision would have a far reaching effect if it was taken advantage of by the other Inmates of the asylum, as Mrs. House's commitment was secured under the same law by which all commitments to the asylum are made, and that there is no legislative enactment providing for trial of lunatics by a jury. Amboy Shark. Lew Morris on Saturday caught, near the railway bridge, at Perth Amboy, a juvenile shark feet long! It was promptly killed and conveyed without loss of time to the custody of Mr. Homer Whiekam, of the United States Express company.

That gentleman dissected the little monster, preserving only the skin, back bone and mouth. An examination of the teeth will amply satisfy anyone that the popular dread of sharks is well founded. The contents of the stomach showed that a shark's existence is very enjoyable. has provided an abundant supply of small fish for the use of the shark. Of course a man who falls overboard will be regarded as a rare and dainty morsel.

A SOOTHING SHOT. Mrs. Smith Peace aritt Quiet in Metuchen. A lot of Metuchen black and white loafers have been in the habit of getting drank ia. New Brunswick on Saturday night, then returning to the village and keeping up a disturbance until Sunday morning.

This gang had just got in operation about 11.30 last Saturday night in front of Mrs. Smith's residence on Main street, when she suddenly a window and fired a revolver over their heads. The loafers fled on the winga of the wind, and there has not been so much quietness In Metuchen for six months as has prevailed since. Mrs. Smith deserves credit and it is hoped her salutary action will have a lasting effect.
