THAT GRAND EXCIIRSION. — A. GALA DAT. —SCENES AND INCIDENTS, AND TEL ELEPHANT.— On Saturday morning, the appearance of the weather was not very propitious for a pleasure trip, but notwithstanding this the excursion to New York city was a success to the parties engi neering it and a pleasurable enjoyment to those who participated in It. At a few minutes befrire six o'clock a train of eleven cars arrived at the Allentown depot, oa the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, most of them well tilled and those that were not were soon taken possession of by the large crowd there awaiting the train. Some were unfortunate enough to be compelled to stand, but all were in good humor (coking forward to a pleas ant time at the other end of the trip and the bes t was made of little perplexities. Bethlehem was soon reached, and in its turn Frcemansburg, and the cry of "all aboard" brought upon the train more passengers, but scats were out of the ques tion. At Easton more pleasure seekers were await -1 lug the arrival of the train, but here they were favored with an additional car, the train now num bering twelve cars and cat rying over six hundred passengers. But whoever knew an excursion without some excitement? If the wit, hard or Minstrel of the party doesn't furnish it, some mechanical causes will. Bo it was on this occasion. The train was scarcely out of the confines of Phlllipsburgh when the smell of burning oil offended the olfactories of the occupants of the rear car, and soon the cause was discovered, flames emanating from a hot axle. Of course fears of a sudden roasting seized the passengers and they took fright and flight to the forward cars where they remained until within a short distance of. Hackettstown, where the train halted half an hour and the fire was extinguished. And this was another: misfortune, for the regu lar passenger train arrived, passed and the excur sion train was compelled to follow In Its wake, In stead of preceedlng It as was intended, and the time for enjoyment in New York was therefore shortened. But Journeys, like everything else of human invention, must have an ending, and 11 o'clock saw an avalanche of foreign humanity rush down upon Jersey's favorite city of Hoboken, where a ferry boat was in readiness to convey it to 59th street. Some of the excursionists did not take to the boat, however, and went hunting after elephants In other quarters, but those who did saw the ele phant, the elephant which Is just now exciting so much interest in Central Park. This 'elephant Is one of a kind uncommon, very, In New York. Many of our Lehigh county friends have seen the other kind and they think they know him from the tip of his tall to the extremity of his trunk, but be exhibits himself in various kinds of menageries In various shapes. 51t seldom costs much, though, to go In, but it is uncommonly expensive to get out. And that Is the only feature of sameness about them. But as we are on the excursion, nd our ele• pbant was the one at Central Park, W 9 must give Knickerbocker's description of the animal. It runs thus : " The elephant of which I took a view on Saturday Is intended for the embellishment of Central Park. It arrived from Hamburg last week, belongs to the feminine persuasion, and is colossal In latitude and longitude. She is the first feminine I have seen for a long time (except the ' English blondes' at Bible's) wbo still dresses In something like the antique Garden of Eden style, disdains the fashions and ignores °oft'. Lady's Book. I have no Idea, of course, what the Em press,' as she is called,bas in her trunk (which is not even a Saratoga') but the oriental costume of her ancestors, as we find it depicted In the more authentic of antediluvian pictures, is Just exactly what she came ashore in, and I am assured, by those who are in her gigantic confidence and ought to know, that she has no Idea of indulging in a change, and does not purpose, however cold our winters, to wear rare. She seems to be rather toe itunoVor her sex and somewhat unhappy, (Judg ing from her size—siglas,) but she is not addicted to rumination, and possibly, therefore, 'grub' and not grief Inspires her emotions. I was about to inquire of the lady personally, being naturally of a sympathetic nature myself," but as I hap pened to tarn my gaze from the face of her lady ship to the face of my watch, I discovered that barely time enough was left me to look at Singer's common team, take a drive through the Park,ansi get over to 'Hoboken by 6 o'clock, at which time the train left homeward bound. Nothing occurred to rouse the sleepy, tired passengers, until the names of their respective stations were called, and they alighted, went home and sank Into the arms of Morpheus well pleased with the pleasure and . cheapness of the excursion. ' AN IMPORTANT CIABE.—In the Supreme Court, In session at TrentOn; an important case— Eleworth agt. the Central Railroad—is being ar gued. Dixon and Dutcher are attorneys for the plaintiff ; B. Williamson, attorney for the defend ant, and F. T. Frellughnyseo, counsel. It origi nated In the Hudson Omit, and Is a suit to com pel the company to build abridge across their road to connect the lands of the plaintiff. Its Impor tance lice In the fact that should the decision be in favor of the plaintiff, the door will be opened to other applications . of a similar diameter. EvEwe REPUBLICAN throughout tho county, should send us all the items of interest occurring In his particular neighbabood. With this assis tance from our friends, we can build up a paper that will be taken in every household, and our sphere of usefulness will be enlarged. Where we are unable to get the news in any other way, we are willing to pay for it. We ask this from the young men. To their exertions the people look for the power which will revolutionize the county politically ; and as they are the ones tq be bane fitted more materially than any others, we ask them to lend us a hand. ROBBER4.—On Thursday night last burg lars entered Trelchler's Station, on thb Lehigh and Busquebanna railroad, but only succeeded in getting a couple of railroad tickets and a email 'amount of money. On Friday a man apparently thirty-live years old giving his name as Jacob Davis, was arrested at the North Pennsylvania Depot in Philadelphia, on suspicion of being concerned in the above bur glary. The prisoner had offered one of theYstolen tickets for his passage to the city. He had in his possession a lot of skeleton keys, two loaded revol vers and other burglarious implements. Alder man Heins held the prisoner fora further hearing. REPORT 01 , COAL transported over the Le high Valley Railroad, for the week ending May 29, 1869, compared with same time last year : For Week.

Yet such Is said to be the absolute number. One of the largest fae: tulles Isla Bergen County, 'New Jersey; another one in New Britain, Connecticut, Is capable of turning out live thousand baskets In a day; and a manufactory at Westville, Connecticut, pro duces a large number daily. Almost every year some patent berry basket Is Introduced Into the market, which Is said to have great advantages over all others. But the strawberries themselves? Too expen sive when first brought to market for common people to indulge in, they speedily become so plentiful that the luscious fruit Is within the reach of all. In Washington Market, New York, alone there are upward of five hundred firms engaged in the strawberry traffic. A single firm sometimes receives five or six thousand querts lu a day. The risk in dealing in such a perishable article is great, yet more money is said to be made in this than in any other branch of the fruit trade. Perhaps this is because almost everybody likes strawberries. BurrEn 31Aturico.—We commend the fol lowing simple, but Important directions, to all who keep cows, and experience difficulty in making firm, sweet tasted, rich butter, an article which is pleasant to every palate but is so seldom found In market. They are rules given by an old butter maker, through the columns of the Cultivator. They are worth studying : For making good butter, the first thing is to have good eweet pasture, free from weeds or any growth that will give a bad taste to the milk. Good upland grass is better than coarse grass growing on wet places. Borne dairymen think that limed is better than unlimed land, but this is a matter of minor importance. Others regard the practice of sowing plaster in spring, and repeating it early in autumn, as fettling to sweeten grass. Good, well selected cows arc the next reenisite. Perfect cleanliness, from beginning to end, is in dlspensible—the most so, perhaps, of soy ono thing. No dirt or dust must drop into the milk, for which reason the animals should have a clean place to lie on, and never be allowed to stand in mud or manure; vessels all thoroughly washed— scalded whenever necessary to preserve perfect sweetness—including palls, pans, pots, churns, workers, tubs or firkins. They must be first washed clean with cold water i for if hot water Is used first, it will curdle the milk in the cracks or corners, and prevent Its washing out. A perfectly pure air is of great importance. Bad odors will taint butter. The dairy house should therefore be far away from manure yards and everything else of the kind. Keep tobacco smoke off the premises. Let the butter be well worked, so as to press out all the buttermilk. It is impossible to have a good article if this Is not done. Perhaps this le the most common cause of failure. If much milk is left In, it soon ferments and makes rancid and worthless butter. In laying down for winter, nse new firkins—never use them a second time ; and pots or Jars must not be used, if they have ever had bad butter In them, or pickles or anything else that will- taint them—the taint can never be wholly removed. The beet dairy salt la important. Butter In hot weather must be covered and excluded from the air with saturated brine.

Biwa and Houghton have added a volume to their four editions of Dickens's Works, which Is unique In character, and completmthe various sets. It Is called "Masterllumphrey's Clock,'.' taking Its name from the first and largest portion of the vol ume. It may be remembered that Mr. Dickens commenced in 1810 the publication of a serial work under the above title. Master Humphrey was the principal character—an old gentleman of prattling turn of mind, who 'acted as a .sort of chairman of an antiquated club, whose meetings were held under the shadow of his tall clock, out of the ease of which came manuscript rolls of stories. Mr. Pickwick reappears, and so do Sam Weller and his father, and even a third Weller In the person of Sam's small son Tony, Nflto is a miniature likeness of his grandfather.; and very early, under the tuition of that patriarch, diplays an interest In pints and quarts. It seemed to he the author's intention to incorporate in this frame work various short stories, but after a while, get ting warmed with the tale of the "Old Curiosity Shop," the voices of Master Humphrey end his friends die away, revived only occasionally to re mind of the original plan and thus explain the title. The "Old Curiosity Shop" and " Barnaby nudge" were both included thus in " Master Humphrey's Clock," but arc entirely independent of it. The fiction of Master Humphrey was then dropped, not to be resumed, and the portions printed have never until now been published in col lections of Mr. Dickens's Works. Here they are to be found, and will be rend with interest as if forming a new novel by the great author. The second portion of the book consists of the various Christmas Stories which the author has written since the publication of the older and bet ter known "Christmas Stories." QM -4120 There is presented—what to many will be the most valuable portion of the book—an exhaustive Index of all the characters named in Dickens's Works, with a few characterizing, epithets, and the name of the story in which they appear, with a list of all the pages in which their words and ac tions may be found. This really great Index strikes out anew with astonishment at the multitude of people whom Mr. Dickens has created. No won der they need a Directory of their residences. Who can keep In his head the number of the street where each resides I Last of all is a curious list of Familiar Sayings front Dickens's Works, which Illustrates well the indebtedness of the world to this master of felicitous phrases. This volume gives to Third and Tioughton's four editions a completeness which no other editions in America or England possess and the purchaser may take his choice, according* to his taste and his pocket, between the cheap, compact, readable "Globe," the richly illustrated, elegant !41tiver side," the voluminous, graceful "limisehold," and the superb " Large Paper," with Its India proof pictures, Its wide margin, and its limited edition of one hundred copies only to subscribers.

They know nothing about money that "comes min" and so they *do not propose to have It "go easy." Every dollar they have, represents so much good sturdy toll, ring Is too hard earned to he carelessly thrown away. At the same time theysliould be careful not to let their cautiousness cheat theM out of advantages of a really good Investment, through the want ofa little investigation.
