Our neighbors around us, fired with a commend able spirit of Improvement, aro remodeling nnd repairing their old hard-time sidewalks. Why not a liltlo of that spirit spread out In this direction? Surely nono of them have boroughs more favored by nature than ours. But what signifies charming flower gardens, Vernal foliage, and hnndsome ladies, when the pedestrian on tho sidewalks dares not turn his hend to look nt them for fear of falling Into a hole from which ho only picks himself tip to tnako olf for tho vender of salves nnd liniments? And then there are numerous instances of little stagnant pools of water which by and by will breed pesti lence. It is liopcd that Burgess KunU will take tliis matter very seriously to heart. The large and valuable Iron mine near Fo:clsville, known as Kramllch's ore bed, was last week re-started with a strong force of hands, and large quantities of tho miner al are now again being raised and shipped to the Crane Furnaces at Catnsauqua.

Tho act has been approved by the Governor, and is now a law.

Tlicie is a fair demand for coal in the present and a near future proiniso of nn advance in tlie prices of coal. The piices of some of the smallest sizes of coal were re duced very slightly after tho auction sale of coal at New York, hut witli that exception there is no change in tho situation. The production of coal, however, barely keeps pace with the demand by reason of one im pediment or another at various places in the coal regions. The supply of coal thus lessening the orders for coal are more nu merous and the demand for it more urgent. Thero is believed to bean existing demand for all tho coal for which thero is trans portation facilities to put into tho market. This, it is believed, will obviate tho neces sity ol calling a half mouth's suspension, as has been hinted, or, indeed, of any suspen siou at all nt this time.

R. Co., oOlco 227 South Fourth street, Philadelphia, May It, ;. Ulroular. The Philadelphia and Heading Itallroad Company this day takes possession at lessees of the railroads, rolling ttock, real estate, property, plant and trnffle of the North Pennsylvania Itallroad Company and tho Delaware and Bound Brook Itallroad Company. The General Manager, Chief Engineer, Oencral Freight Agcnt,Treaiurer,and Comp. trollcr will at once assume charge of such portions and details of the property nnd traine of the said two Coraiianles as pertain to their respective departments. By order of the Board of Mansgcrs. FnAitKLta B. Uowkic, President, In compliance with the above order the Philadelphia and Rending Railroad Com pany took possession of the rallrondt of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Delaware' and Bound Brook Rail road Company, under leases for nine hun dred nnd ninety years. We are informed, says tho Philadelphia Ledger, by the officers of tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company that tho principal object in leas ing theso lines was to secure an indejiend cut outlet for coals by rail to the waters of New York Bay. Tho coal tonnage of the Reading Company destined for the waters of New York is from one million to one mil lion and a half of tons, and, with proper facilities for its transportation and deli very, tho volume of this traffic Is, of courso capable of great expansion in the future. With the new line In connection with the Central Railroad of New Jersey, tho Read ing Railroad Company will, in common with the other principal tranporters nnd miners of coal, have its own line into New York ami bo no longer shut out of tho market during the winter months. The present nctu.il cash cost to the Heading Company for moving coal from Philadelphia to New York is 85 cents per ton; but by tho new railroad and continuations of the present rail route it can readily be done fur 50 cents per ton, which will.umount to a cash sav ing of several hundred thousand dollars a year to tho Company. We understand that it is the intention of tho Rending Company to innko its Ninth nnd Green street station the Philadelphia terminus of the leased linos, and it it is expected that the increased local passenger traffic to be secured by the change of station will add largely to the receipts of both roads. Tho terms of the leases pi ovale for annual rentals, payable quarterly, sufficient in amount to pay the interest on tho obligations of each of the two leased companies, ami to givo to the shareholders of each dividends of six per cent for tho first two years, seven percent, for the next two years, and eight per cent, for nil subsequent years. It is expected that these rentals will be about (00,000 per an num mora than the present traffic would justify ; but it is believed that the change of terminus will at once add to the receipts of tho line very much more than the above deficiency, nnd thus practically give to the Reading Railroad an outlet to New Yoric for coal, without any ndditional cost whatever, except that of the trains engaged in hauling it, the wear nnd tear of roadway, and the moderate trackago payment to bo made to the Central Railroad of New Jersey for the use of about twenty-fire miles of its line, leaving the largo amount of saving per an num on coal transportation to the credit of tho Reading Railroad Company as its profit on tho transrtation. When we tuko into consideration the large deficits annually paid by some of our greatest companies us the result of the traffic umi tho lines they have cither built or leased in order to get a terminal outlet in New York, it will be considered greatly to the benefit of tho Read ing Railroad Company that it has been able to accomplish tho samo end, not only with out lov!,but witli the strongest probability of actual gain. tiling Attempted Illirglur)-. About ono o'clock Mi.nday night some of the members of tho family of Thomas Kern erer, Esq., heard a suspicious noise In the entrance-way between their residence and the building next door below, belonging to Mrs. Granville Clauss, in the lower story of which is located the cigar manufactory and tobacconist store of Koch Brothers. Look ing from the window of Mr. Kcmercr's res idence, tlirco men were discovered in the act of prying off tho shutters to one of the windows of the cigar store. The burglars finding that they were discovered, made a hasty retreat. Word was sent to William Koch, ono of the proprietors, who lodges at tho Exchange Hotel, and on arriving he found that if they had been unmolested for n short time longer, theburglars would have effected au cntraiico to the interior of the store. Two first-rato 1 1-inch chisels wcro left behind by tho thieves in their hasty exit. Tho chisels are sharp, bright, and show unmistakable evidence ot having been recently used by some carpenter or builder. As an evidence that tho theft had been pre concerted and the operators had a good idea ol the building, the window attacked was the weakest point in the building, although perhaps the most exposed. A rear door would havo furnished a far better shelter for operation i but tills was probably known to one or mora of them to bo securely fas tened with iron bolts aud bars. It was a daring attempt at burglary ; for in addition Ui its proximity to Mr. Kemercr's residence, the upperstories and rear of the building aro used by Mrs. Clauss' family as a resi dence. There were at least five In the gang, two of whom were picketing the street while the others were doing the shop-lifting. It is believed that the gang are known, and a shurp eye, that seldom falls to tingle out its 'man, is shadowing them. Sunday Scrrlcea. I.klllOUTOK EVABOKLICAL CHURCH, BOV. II.

In complianco with the Hulft mid Regulations of tho Grand Aniiv, and Gen eral Orders No. 5 from National Hcnd-quar tcrs, as well as in accordance with imlfnn,,! custom, Friday JIny 3Uth, will be observed as Mcmoriul Dav, when we will asscmblntn decorate the graves of our dead comrades and honor with lilting and appropriate ceremonies their memories, when we will not only lay upon their graves fragrant flowers nnd wreaths of laurel, but plant awvu mem me nag wmcn represents the National Unity In whoso cause they died. II, As year by year Decoration Dav la more generally ooserved.iiio ceremonies be come more elaborate. It Is our dutv how. ever to see that the original purpose of the day is not forgotten, nnd that the ceremony bo preserved ill all its beauty nnd simplici ty as farnt possible, nnd to discountenance nndfoppoee everything that lends to detract irom me solemn significance of the day and itt proper observance. The sstocinlloni of the dav are too sad and its memories too sacred to permit it to bo made n day of tport or feetlritles. It Is requested thut flags hoisted upou that day bo at half-mast. III. As we gather at the graves of thorn who are buried among kindred and friends, let us be reminded of the thousands who sleep their last sleep in unknown, unmarked and unguarded graves as they fell in the battle's track. And as we think of the suf ferings of these, our dead comrades, and the sad and sorrowing homes throughout the land, let us renew our pledge "to care for thoso whom tlie dead have Toft to our care and protection." And may tho memory of an meso sacriiices incite us to a still purer nnil loftier patriotism, and to a more deter mined and earnest devotion to the institu tions whoso pcrietiiity whs secured nt such a cost, so Hint peace, good will nnd prosicri ly may forever prevail in our country. IV. It is suggested that each post prepare a record of all soldiers buried within its limits, elvlntr name. aee. rank, comnaiiv. date nnd cause of death of each, and that tills record be preserved in some' appro priate manner, nnd that tho ceremonies of Decoration be mado more impressive by tlie reading of it. Each year ndditional names will bo added until tho last veteran has been mustered out, when it can be handed down to posterity and be prized, it may be, as the roll of honor bv the town or village to which it belongs. In this way mo record or even the humblest comrade may be at least partially perpetuated, nnd his patriotic duvotiuti mid heroic deeds re membered. V. The Reverend Clercy, Churches.

Of courso there will bo found no ono of sufficient temerity to doubt the following dog yarn from our neighboring county of Pike. Pike is one of the smallest county's m the State, but the largest cannot beat her for big stories." You may believe this ono if vou so wish : Jacob Garrison owns a snuz little farm in the mountains of Pike county, throe miles from Milfonl, Pa. Two trout streams meander over it. The barnyard is alive with tnrkeys, ducks, nnd chickens, nil under tho active supervision of old Watch, the house do?. Watch is a collie, about 4 years old. He came to the farm a pup, and has developed into a An of surprising sagacity. On Friday last, Mr. Garrison made some garden beds, und sowed onions, pca.s, and lettuce. At sundown, wmie seated in ins house, he looked through the window and saw the turkeys, ducks, and chickens shuflling in his beds. Tho dog lay on the floor near the open door. "Halloo," said Garrison; "the chickens aro in tiie garden." The doe sped out around tho house, and drove the fowls to the barnyard. On his re turn ho overheard the two garrison boys dis puting as to who should fill the wood box with lira wood. Tho dog listened for some moments, and, apparently disgusted with the wrangling, went out to tho wood pile, seized a stick between his teeth, brought it into tlie house, and dropped it into the wood box. lie kept at tins work until the box was filled. Then, us tho air was crowing chilly, he gravely closed the door, east a re proachful glanco at the boys, stretched him self upon the floor and went to sleep. A lew minutes olterwards he oyerheard Mrs. Garrison say the chickens were in the kitchen In an Instant ho bounded down stairs, drove out the intruders, and closed the kitchen door, lie has been taught no tricks, and unlike many men, seems to be actuated solely by the desire to make him self useful.

SPECIAL CORRESPCHDENCE, Our Letter from WnahlitRton, ' WABninrtToir, D, O., May 10, 15T5, The tesslon of the Cabinet yesterday was mainly devoted to discussing the e ffalrt of tho Indian Territory, Secretary Me(;rary pre. tented several dispatches C the subject from (Jen. Sheridan and Col. Smith, the latternow In Immediate rommand ortho forces In the territory. These were to the effect that a few so-called emigrant! had eluded the rlitllancc ofthelndlau agents and the military and reached the disputed lands. They will be ejected Just as soon as the military can catch up with them. uen. Sheridan says that he wilt take command or the troops in person, If necessary, and will take such steps as will cause prompt ejection ol nil persons round In the territory. Gen. Pope will reach Leaven worth to-day, and go thence at onco to tho Indian territory to take personal command or the troops. The President gave It as his opinion that be Is fully determined to protect every foot of ground within the boundary of tne Indian territory from the encroachment or white Mttlerl . Thlt fact has been raada known to tha army oQeeri, who will act ae- coraingiy. The Senate last evening passed tho House bill to prevent military interference in the electloni and Immediately thercnllcr took up tho legislative executive and Judicial nppro prlatlon bill. For the first time since the be. ginning ofthls session the Senalo will set on Saturday, and to-day It Is hoped good prog ress will be made with the legislative bill. Several Republican Senators, who have been at the White Housj yesterday nnd to-day, ex. pressed the opinion In private conversation that tho President would veto tho bill pasted by the Senate yesterday afternoon. The only notable speech made yesterday was by Mr. Zach. Chandler. The great Mlchlgander was thoroughly himself, pawing tho air, pounding his desk and shaking hlmselr almost to pieces In the old stylo. He denounced tho Bourbon democracy In langungo more violent than ho has ever applied even to tho British lion, and his contortions nnd gesticulations wcro such as to Indicate that his hatred or the Bourbon democracy did not extend to everything else mm was uouroon. several times. In tho n- ensltyofhls gestures, his eyeglasses lell ofl his noso and hnd to bo rjodlutted. Both sides ofthe chamber were In a continual roar or laughter, and the galleries became so noisy that the chair was finally compelled to re strain the disorder, which portnlned more to tho arcna.or a circus than to tho Senate Cham. ber. When Mr, Chandlor alluded to the movement recently Innltlated by tho commlt toe on privilege! nnd elections to displace Mr. neiiog, no shook nis list at tho democratic side and dared them to Interfere with the ten. uro or that gentlomnn, as he said It would furnish a precedent to turn out no less than twelve Senators on the Democratic side who were seated by fraud and violence, nnd whose title was much weaker than Mr. Kellogg's. For this he was called to order by Mr. Eaton, but Mr. Thurman, who was In the chair de cided that be could proceed. Mr. Chandler was extremely sercre on the Northern demo crats, whom he accused or being tho servitors or the Sou h, Just as were their predecessors bcrore the war, and ho repeated over and over that they would meet the samo late, sink Into the waters of oblivion, and rise no more for ever. Senator Gordon returned from Atlanta to day. He represents popular sentiment as universally concurring in the Cox case. A review of tho business transacted by tho Supremo Court of the United Slates during tho term which hat just closed, shows that tho court has considered since last October 293 cases, In addition to so passed and continued, and S ordered for renrgumcnt. One hundred and tcventy-slx or the cases brouirht before it were argued orally, and 11T submitted upon printed briers. Tho number of cases finally disposed or, Including thoso brought over, pending decision from tho previous term, Is 397. In 210 or these cases the decisions or the lower courts were afilrincd, and In 79 are re versed, the remainder having been docketed and dismissed, or settled by agreement be tween the contending parties. It thus ap pears that two cases of every five actually do. elded have resulted In a personal ortho Judg ments ortho courts bolow. 1 ho board or naval officers designated by Secretary Thompson to examine tho variou, plans submitted to tho National Board or Health for a refrigerating ship, for which an appropriation has been made, are holding dally sessions. They cannot tell when they will bo ready to mako arcporl. Tho fourteen plans submitted lo them proposo feur differ ent refrigerating systems to be employed. tne work which will bo required or tho Bys. tcm to bo adopted Is that It shall cool a 1,600 ton ship to zero in New Orleans In July. dome propose to do this by the compression and expansion or air, tome by an anhydrous ammonia machine, tome by an aqutout am monia machine, and others by ether machines. Tho Board will, besides deciding what system shall he adotitcd, also determine whether a new vessel th ill be constructed, or whether some vessel or the navy shall be used. In this conncclon will also nrlae Ihequettlon whether the refrigerating machinery Shall bo placed aboard tho Vessel o on a wharrand the r,ssel coaled (cod) therefrom. After these points are decided, it Is estimated that It will take about ninety days to got tho vessel and ma chinery in readiness fer service. The Presdent's family remove to the Old Soldiers' Homo within a few days. There are few more delightful parks In the country than this, which belongs to the old soldiers, nnd Is kept up by monthly contributions from the soldiers In the regular army. Thero are nearly a thousand acres In tho park and tho buildings and drives are very handsome. There are ten miles of drives and about a dozen buildings. Tho Homo wns started by General Scott, with r3O0,OC0 pillage money levied by him on tho City of .Mexico. It Is a question or economy which takes Mr. Hayes to this dellghtrul park. He has all tho ad vantages ol a princely country residence with out any expense. Tho grounds are kept In order by the old soldiers, and tho houso was built and larnlshed by tho monthly tax of twelve cents a month on the soldiers of the army, and this fund ktcps It In repairs and furnishes also stabling for the President's horses and vegetables for his table. The President receives only $50,000 a year; tho private soldier receives tnamonlh. I under stand that tho Secretary of War and his fam. Uy will also occupy one ot the handsome stone cottages owned by the soldiers this summer. Auocst. Leutguton Product) irjarltct Corrected Wxiklt.
