Since the last meeting your Btreel committee have been actively at work on Utter street, and do report that they liave, in accordance with instructions, paved the lull at the junction of Mill and Bath streets with cobble stones, and have macadamized to Linden street (what is considered one-half of the entire at a cost of about one thousand dollars, in iddition to repairs of Otter street, Swain, Pearl, Bath and Pine have received our attention, holes filled up, and gravel placed where needed, thus fixing the above named streets in a fair condition. We have had much to contend with, scarcity of stone and trouble in transportation, but we now can state that our troubles are overpowered, and we are getting along in a smooth manner. In reference to the foot bridge referred to us at the last meeting, your committee have decided that for reasons of it being a private bridge, and in close proximity to a public one we do not consider that the borough should put it in repair, knowing full well that if once commenced it would always be expected.

His opinion contained the following situation in regard to these two applications is the same substantially as when they were before the court a year ago. The same considerations which then influenced our action roust direct it now. The weight of public opinion in the neighborhood of these bouses is still decidedly adverse to the granting of the licensei applied for. The law imposes upon the court the duty to hear remonstrances, and commands it to have 'due regard to the number and character of the petitioners for and against such There but one consideration which would justify the court in granting these licenses against the prevailing public sentiment of the surrounding community; and that is their actual necessity for the proper accommodation of the travelling public. Joes such a necessity exist in these cases, either of them We are not convinced hat it does.

The evidence before us is not convincing that either of these will suffer if these licenses are refused. preponderating numbers and interests of the remonstrating population of the vicinity cannot be lawfully disregarded. It may be well in this connection to repeat the language of the Act of 1867, which declares that Mt shall be lawful for the several Courts of Quarter Sessions of this Commonwealth to hear petitions in addition to that of the applicant in favor of, and remonstrances against the application of any person applying to either of them for a license to keep a hotel, inn or tavern and thereupon to refuse the same, whenever, in the opinion of said court, such hotel, inn or tavern, is not necessary for the accommodation of the public, and entertainment of strangers and It would be easier for the court to grant than to refuse them.

The petitioners are both reputable persons, of good habits, and have the respect and confidence of those who know them. The house room of at least one of them is more than ample. It would be pleasant if the court could gratify the wishes of the applicants, and at the same time supply a public want. But when these objects are in conflict, the public interest should prevail. Such crimes as those of Ferdinand Ward, while the; spring often from depravity, are oftener the result of mere weakness of character.

Thackeray in many of hii minor sketches constantly draws the portrait of the man and women whose means are not equal to the style of living which they desire and they desire it not for itself, but only because others have it. They are not strong and steady enough to be content with that which they can command and afford, and the means to secure the other must somehow be obtained. Thackeray puts the fact in the simplest and most amusing form. The young couple must give a dinner, and instead of the joint of lamb and the glass of beer which is the only repast to which they have the moral right to invite a frif nd--if, indeed, the beer may be morally permitted--they roust needs prepare a feast which they cannot honorably afford, and for the sole reason that other people who can afford it give such feasts. It is this doing a little more, or a great deal more, that the doer can honestly afford, which leads to the swindles of Wall street.

Living in a house too expensive for his means, maintaining it accordingly, dressing as his richer neighbors dress, doing in all things as they do--it is this weak compliance which is bidden in the fine bouses, and drives to the Park in the fine equipages, which presently ends in Ludlow street jail and hopeless UBT, MM.

Yet it is the poorest kind of competition, because the little imitator might see even with his dull eyes that there must always be a few persons who can "do the thing" better tban all the rest, and without feeling it. The bullfrog may swell until he bursts, but be cannot rival the ox. This is a tendency which all sensible people--and a great many otherwise sensible people are swept away by it--ought quietly to resist. The power of individual example is immense, but it is often underestimated by the individual. "My vote is of no consequence, but, since you wish it, I will vote," said a man to his neighbor, and the right candidate was elected by a majority of one.

Dam the Delaware, the correspondent, and Bristol would be as large as Trenton. It in possible that damming the Delaware would be of great benefit for manufacturing purposes on this side of the river, but the Intelligencer correspondent overlooks the fact that Bristol, since she has become manufacturing town, has made rapid Strides in wealth and population, notwithstanding the Delaware is not yet dammed.

If the rest of Bucks county bad kept pace with Bristol in the item of population, it would have advanced over 60 per cent in the decade from 1870 to 1880, and the figures furnished by the census reports, show that Bristol's ratio of increase in population is not exceeded by many towns in the State.

A NEW TEMPLE riK MAON8 IN THEN- TRENTON, July of the largest Masonic gatherings ever held in this state was at the laying of the cornerstones of the new Masonic Temple this afternoon. Beside the Trenton Masons, DISMAL PROSPECTS FOB from New York indicate the failure of the apple crop, at least tn the Hudson river valley. Fruit men have been filled with misgivings since the late May frost, which, it was feared, had killed much of the young fruit. This injured fruit did not drop at once, and there was hope that a fair crop would remain on the trees But during the last two weeks the stems separated from the branches and the green fruit came donn like rain, filling the orchard ground with hundreds of bushels of green apples, varying in size from a cherry to a black walnut. The loss will be heavy to growers who have waited so patiently for years for a full apple crop.

Pears are clinging to the trees much better, and a partial crop is now indicated. Plums are badly dam aged by the frost, and the ravages of the voracious curculio left litt fruit to ripen. The prospects for peaches in the valley is clearly becoming more gloomy, and many predict a total failure. Strawberries were a partial failure, owing to the frost and drought, but the raspberry crop is large and the yield promises to be one of the largest ever gathered in the valley. Currants are also being gathered and shipped) and this crop is also large and fine.

Frost did not seem to affect these fruits. Blackberries and gooseberries are not grown to any great extent there. Tne yield of the former promises fair, but the product of the latter will be small. --There are forty-four ladies elected as Guardians of the Poor in England, and the oldest lady guardian has cnused some consternation among the men by publicly asserting that women are much more economical than men as public officers. There may be doubts on this subject, but women as public officers are often called more conscientious and painstaking than men, because they are new in office and are independent politically.

wear. No highway of travel has received more flattering notices from the public than the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, the pioneer short line and the popular route to the Northwest and the Far West. Whether one's Mecca OB Omaha, St. Paul, Minneapolis or Dakota, on the different branches of this much traveled thoroughfare, or even if one's destinition be to points still more remote, it presents, without a douht, the greatest advantages to the traveler in his westward course.

Apart its excellent road-bed, its fine coaches, and the grand scenery through which it passes, its dining cars and service are probably the mast sumptuous of any railroad in the world. Indeed, the western lines, and notably the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, fairly lead their eastern rivals in the matter of comforts administered to their passengers. So that with statistics to show one's life is safer in the average railway train than when sitting in one's home or when engaged one's 'egitimate business, the traveler who places himself under the guardianship of a well regulated railway may prosecute his journey with a feeling of security and comfort as great as when reclining in his arm chair amid his own lures et penates. For the benefit of those desiring to emigrate to Dakota and other localities in the Northwest and Far West, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.

The tusk, taken to a neighboring village for exhibition, would measure, if straight, ten feet, and is about one foot in diameter at the butt. It is so much curved that it is only five from the point to the butt. The teeth in the lower jaw of the mastodon, roots and all, are nine and a half inches long in diameter, there being two teeth in each jaw.

The whole of the skeleton is not yet exhumed, but it will probably prove, lays a despatch, to be one of the largest ever found.
