Tntt SWITCII-BACK.—NOW that the time Is approaching for tourists and excursionists to visit Manch Chunk for the purpose of viewing our magnificent scenery and enjoying a ride over the famous Switch-Back, It is well to say that that road wilt be In operation all summer and possibly part of next. Last year unreliable rePorts were circulated to the effect that the completion of the Nesquehoulng Tunnel would do away with the 'Switch-Back early In this year. This Is far from the truth. The tunnel Is progressing vapidly, but the stupendous work will not be completed until next January at the earliest, and possibly not until March. It will take some time to complete the changes which the Tunnel will necessarily make, so theSnitch-Back may be running as late as July. We would' dvise all persons who con template riding over this wonderful road to do so this summer, as our calculations may be at fault. —3fnuch Chunk Gazelle. THE NEXT ELECTION. —,The Democrat nays the oflice of Sheriff Is one of the public posi tions most sought after in Lehigh County—and we believe the some Is the case elsewhere, or at least In our neighboring counties. We are to fill the office nt the fall election, this year, In this county, and we hear already of a number of gen tlemen who are girding on their best harness in order to make a grand run for it—that Is for the Detnoeratic nomination—which la equivalent to an election. Among these we may mention Mr. Owen W. Faust, of Upper Macungie, Edwin Zim merman, of. Lowhill, Daniel Stabler, of Upper Stumm, and William Reimer, of this city. There are several others who desire to be sheriff, and who will be In the field when the campaign opens, but at 'present, we believe, the four gentlemen above named, are most prominently spoken of. The next District Attorneyship in also begin ning to be talked of, the term of the present ofli cer,,Thomas B. Metzger, Esq., expiring this fall. For the Democratic nomination there promise to .be a number of Richmonds In the field. Win. 11. Sowden, Esq., wants It, Fo also Evan liolbcm (leo. It. Rupp, Geo. K. Wilson, John Rupp' and I.evl Smoyer, Esqrs., and there will probably be one or two other candidato. From such an ar ray of talent there ought to ho no difficulty I❑ 1110,111ga good selection. • RAILItOAD ENTEttnntsE.—The New York Tribune thus speaks of anew and important railroad enterprise which Is of some Interest in this locality : " An Important railroad enterprise Is about to begin, which vAll give a short and dl ,Feet route from the cool regions to the Eastern .States. The road will start from or dear Wilkes- . •aure, In the Lucerne region, and run In a direct . line to the Delaware River, which It will strike at It point between Port Jervis and the Delaware Water flap. The route then lends up the river to Port .lervls,qhenee through Sullivan. and 'Ulster counties, and up the Hudson to Poughkeepsie, where It will connect with roads already building, leading to principal points In the Eastern Slates. A branch will also run down the Delaware Valley and connect with the Belvidere and Delaware Railroad at Belvidere, which will give a tkrouglyrouLelto Philadelphia and Washington. A company to prosecute this work was formed last week, and Is composed of leading and sub stantial railroad men. The charter for the route was obtained several years ago, hut nothing was ever done In the matter. The completion of roads that can be used by the company and will greatly lessen the amount of work otherwise necessary to build the line, bas revived the enterprise, and It Is expected that It will be pushed to a rapid eomple . tinn." . SUDDEN DE/ail—Samuel, Stemmer, aged 18 years, son of Charlea Simmer, of Norristown, was attacked with pneumonia on Thursday nod died 111 a few hours. PAirstia.

From all appearances the num ber of guests from abroad during the hot months of summer, will be larger than for many years. The beautiful surroundings and healthful atmos phere of this old Moravian settlement have long been noted among the inhabitants of the great elites, and although the streets of Bethlehem are stretching out in every direction and assuming a city-like apperanee the place is still regarded as one of the plerwantest summer resorts in the country. ANOTHER HEAVY CONTRACT.—Mesers. Cole & Heilman. the celebrated boiler makers of this city have succeeded inmakinga contract with the Co-operative Iron and Steel Works of Dan ville, to supply their new rolling mill with eight boilers, eight stacks, one water lank, 19x8x5, one fly wheel shoe, lOx2Oxil, and all the piping to be used In the mill. They were competitors against twelve other establishments and their success is another evidence of their equality with, if not su periority to, any other of the large establishments of the country. We like to see the rapid progress which is making in Cole & Ileihnou's works. They are Just the kind of men who are helping to make Allentown the great Iron headquarters of the United States.. They have been employing about fifty own, but they have contracts on hand at present to employ double that number. A PUFF FOR JottN.—We are glad to see that John Archibald, the city Gill poster, is thriv ing, for he deserves success. We remember him when he started out simply with a brash and bucket, then he rose to a wheelbarrow and now he drives one of the uobbiest wagons that could be constructed. Now he can be seen as late as eleven and twelve o'clock at night, while others are sleeping, posting the town with bills, and when the Inhabitants awake In the morning they see John's boards with new, clean faces upon them. Ells work has always given satisfaction to Ids patrons, which accounts for his success. Any body who wishes hii services can leave orders at this ornee, at the Democrat race, or at the Cress Keys Hotel. Posting done in town or country, and he Is prepared to distribute circulars so that everybody will receive one. Tim PoucE.--In his annual message the Mayor suggests the Increase of our Police force. Although no one eau deny that the force Is very efficient, and that we are as free from crimes, In proportion to our population, as any other city, It Is Important that as our boundaries are extended nod our population Increased we should provide against any emergency by Increasing our Pollee. We now have eight men on duty, Including the High Constable, but If we had as many Policemen 'ln Moportion to population us the city of Philo , dolphin we should have at least double that num ber. The Mayor suggeids the employment of lamp-lighters, In case Councils do trot see fit to engage more Policemen, but we believe this sys tem would cost nearly as much and we should not have the advantage of the protection afforded by additional policemen. The Mayor's reasons for the Increase are sound and forcible, and no one who roads the message can fall_ to be Impressed with the Importance of his saggestlon. THE LOdIIIEL strike at the Lochiel iron works, Harrisburg, still continues, and about 300 men are thrown out of employment and remain in idleness. The president of the company publishes a card, lu which he explains the difficulty. From hie version, it appears that six beats were required daily, except Saturday, when only five constituted a day's work. After the third heat last Saturday, the heater first in turn refused to enter upon his duty, and was dis charged by the company. The employees de manded his reinstatement, which was refused, and being members of the Labor Union, a strike was ordered end carried out. The company also allege that the advance of pig iron, causal by the present suspension in the coal region, without compensating advance of rails, has Induced them to close the works for at least two mAtiow - ll'lre strike hastened the suspension, which has / ecn under consideration for.some time past, rind was only delayed out of regard to the workingmen, who will experience the greatest loss and suffering by the unfortunate condition of affairs.—State Journal.

Os A Visyr.—A party of young ladies from the Moravian Seminary, Bethlehem, accompanied by one of their most accomplished instructresses, visited our city last week. They visited the Tl ableaborg College, and were kindly shown through the building by Mr. Muhlenberg and they expressed their admiration for the neat and con venient arrangement of the apartments, the chapel and the society roams. They next vialted the Jail and fully appreciated the great architectural beauty of the imposing structure. They expressed their indebtedness to Mr. Jacoby who so kindly >estowed upon them every attention and showed hem through the prison, exhibiting the cells with nit prisoners and the general Industrial system of the Institution, which produces such a variety of carpels and helps to defray the expenses of Jos lice. The store room Is at present nut very well stoehed; owing to the great demand for the carpets manufactured here. The tour to the top of the tower was irksome and fatiguing, but the effort was compensated for by the comprehensive view of the city which is there obtained. The party 'posed of repruentatlves from many of SI Illi emu the Soutl hero aR well its the Northern States. The young ladies returned in the 5:45 train and we are sure they will carry pleasant recollections with them of (heir trip to Allentown. VALIIMILE ORES DISCOVERED IN WARREN COUNTY, N. J.—A short time ago a party of cap italists purchased a tract•of land about one nine north of Port Murray, on the Morris Canal, In Warren County, N. J., for $B,OOO. Upon this land was a valuable hematite ore mine, not work ed up to Its capacity for want of capital on the part of Its proprietor. Soon after the purchase indications were discovered of the existence of hematite and magnetic ores in other Portions of the property, and excavations have developed rich veins of these ores. The ore Is found In Irregular masses of rock, comprising the upper crust, and is mostly worked out with pick and shovel. In view of the value of these mines a charter has been obtained for a corporation known as the Museonetcong Mining Company. It was organ ized at Port Murray, April 4, by the election of John Lanbach, of Lehighton, Penn., President; James A. Pauli, of Washington, N. J., Treasurer; and Chas. A. Dellick„ of Stroudsburgi Penn., Secretary. The company is composed of Penn sylvania and New Jersey capitalists. The mines are located at the foot of one of the mountains forming the Musconetcong range. The minerals Were first discovered by J. P. Thomas, of Port land, Penn., who has since found iron ores at one or two points a little further north. The whole of that region seems to lie particulerly rich in these deposits.

GROASMAN CANED.-31ouday week the member's and ,friends of the St. Paul's German Lutheran Choir assembled In Bohlen's Ilall, on Seventh street, for the purpose of presenting to their teacher, Prof. Grossman, a. gold-headed cane. Mr. Augustus Mennlg made the presenta tion address, which was as follows : Dear ProjeAsor—The occasion that brings ua to gether this evening is orm fraught with a great deal of Interest and pleasure, and as I look around upon the faces of both teacher, choir and friends, I feel like saying with one of old, "Truly it is good to be here." And at this point I must refer to the pleasant Intercourse we have had together during your short sojourn in our midst, and although the tie at one time came near being severed, we feel now that It has but cemented It closer and bound us In an unbroken chain of friendship. We may say : "'Mac friendship still shine bright o'er your way, And love with sweet accent still breathe In your car,. May truth e'er be nigh your defence and your stay:, And forever we'll go forth your heart tochecr. " Of late we bare noticed that your health has been declining and you mustneed a staff on which to support your enfeebled form, but the moth staff to lean upon first Is your God, and this ono when needs be In the advancement of years. The, I stream of our love has just commenced to flow: And If such the sweetness of the fitretun, What tuna the fountain be, Where saints and angels draw their 1,11 bot l a direct from thee • Feeling grati fi ed for your unwearied efforts in our behalf, and to show that they have not been unappreciatedoallow me in behalf of "our choir" to present you with this blight testimonial of our re gard and esteem, Inviting that the names Inscribed thereon may be found not only on its " golden head" but in the fleshy tables of yourbeart,•bever to be eradicated therefrom. The Professor responded In a neat and appro priate speech, saying that he was not able to find words to express his thanks, but hoped to be able to reciprocate this mark of esteem at POMO future day. The cane Is a very beautiful one, and on the bead Is inscribed, " Presented to Prof. \V. C. Grossman by the German Evan. Bt. Paul's Luth eran Choir, of Allentown, Pa., April 10th, 1871."

ATTEMPT TO BURN TOR FOUNTAIN notinE. —On Sunday morning it was discovered that dur ing the previous night an attempt had been made to fire the Fountain House from the outside. Fon this purpose a fire bad been kindled on the porch in the rear of the second story and boles had been bored In the door and the wood work saturated with coal oil. The the burned a corner off the door and the floorof the porch wasburued thrdugh. A man earned Stineberger discovered the fire early In the morning, when It was slowly burning, nod extinguished It with a few buckets of water. Who the Incendiary was, or what the object In attempt ing to destroy the hotel, Is a mystery. • --- - TnE IlAu. STORM. — A. correspondent sends us the following vivid description of the hall storm in the Upper Et.tl: " The greatest hail storm-that over passed over this section of the county, so expressed by expe rienced, gray-headed men, was Tuesday evening of last week. The size of the hail was from a small lutzlenut to a good sized walnut. It was accompanied with a heavy shower of rain. The storm lasted about half nu hour. In which time It covered the ground with hail to an inch In depth, and at some places deeper. As the grain Is yet In a short condition, the damage done was trifling. In Welsenberg town, where the storm had turned Into a tornado, it did considerable damage, espe cially at Daniel Weiss'. It uncovered all his buildings, and tore some entirely down, with the finest orchard of apple and pear trees In tnat vicin ity. Ills damage Is estimated at $'2,000. The force of the wind can be imagined by stating that, for safety, the family ran In the cellar. While I there, the house was shaken so severely that the I milk pots and other things were shaken from the shelves. This shows that God Is still Lord over earth and Its phenomena, its well as of heaven." Ton Coat. STRIKE.—The following is from the Anthracite Monitor of Saturday, the organ of the Workingmen's Beneficial Association: At last light seems to break In upon us in the coal regions, and some tangible prospect of an amicable settlement of our troubles seems to pre sent Itself. The General Council of the M. & L. 13: A., which has been In session during the early part of this week, has accepted arbitration as a solvent for the perplexing and complicated trouble between them and their employers. And If now they can meet together In a fair and conciliatory spirit we may expect au early resumption of work at all our collieries. We think that the council has acted wisely In accepting this mode as a way to settle the diffi culty, and they have doubtless gained, by the course they have adopted, an addition to the pub- Ile sympathy they had hitherto possessed. And while wisely refusing to commit the association to any permanent arbitration, without the consent of their constituents, the members of the council have accepted it for the time being and for the present trouble. On the way In which the opera ( tors meet the men in this first. attempt will, doubt lessdepend Its permanent adoption for the future. 1 1 Wetherefoie sincerely hope all attempti at low and dishonorable scheming will In:lgnored on both sides, and that an honest desire will pervade the minds of the parties most directly Interested toar range matters on a basis that will Insure harmony and good Will In the future. The markets remain much as last week, coal ruling at a high figure, and although some have prophesied that In four or five weeks after work Ihas been resumed by all the regions it will come down as low us before the suspension, we cannot believe It, for It is against all previous experience that such a thing should happen ' • and if it should we should he Inclined very touc h to think that some deep trickery was at the bottom of it. Tut WALLACE Stsmns.—Those who like burlesque performances will be glad to learn that the celebrated Wallace Sisters will commence short season at the Opera (louse en Thursday evening next. We copy the follow lug, front which our renders tan Judge for themselves of the char acter of their performances : How often have we listened to the sweet metro dies and operatic gems, by Wallace, the great musical composer, who recently died In Paris. The name Is a househOld word both In Europe and this country. The Wallace Sisters are four in number, and a More bewitching quadruplicate of youth, grace, versatility and general artistic linkh Is not to be found, nor Indeed is it to be expected, for nature is not eo lavish of her gifts that she often stamps upon the brow of four members , of one family the Ineradicable Imprint of genius. These young ladles are "petite," with beautiful faces and faultless forms ; they have a great pro. fusion of beautiful golden hair which hangs In heavy folds over their necks and shoulders. They arc sparkling and dashing tel and possess that vim, Ore and life which characterizes all great artists. They at once take possession of their listeners, and hold undisputed sway over their hearts and sympathies until the last. Their wardrobe Is gorgeous and elaborate, composed of the finest silks, satins, laces, embroidered and de corated with diamonds and costly gems. No Eu ropean Princesses have more elegant wardrobes titan the Wallace Sisters. In every opera bur lesque or comedy produced by these young ladles, great care in taken to have every person appro priately costumed, and they are put upon the stage with all the original music, appointtuunts and properties seldom, If ever, 'seen In the smaller towns, and superior to many theatres In the large cities. The Wallace Sisters and Troupe till most of their time In the principal theatres, and their vacant dates they fill In the vicinity. " Villa," the comedian and burlesque actor, supporting the Wallace Sisters, Is an actorof sterling merit. Ile too, has one of the fluent wardrobes In America. Ills wonderful personation of female character Is always received With great favor and the highest praises from the pretis. The company supporting the Wallace Sisters is complete and carefully SO kited. The orchestra is full and efficient. TRH PRESBYTERIAN Cuenca.—Sunda; was the closing Sabbath of Rev. J. W. Wood's sixth year of pastoral service over the Presbyteri an Church In this city, and his morning sermon was prepared in reference to that circumstance. The subject of the discourse was a general review of what had been done by and for the church dur ing the past six years, and an exhortation to in creased fidelity and activity in the Master's service in the future. SomC o -Inkstatisties which were 4 given in recounting t e work and history of the church will be of gen .rah 'interest. The church was organized in 1531 and since Its organization about live hundred per us bare been converted under its ministrations. f these, three hundred and eighty-Cur have unit with this church, but many of them subsequently changed their mem— bership to other churches in itierent , parts of the country, so that the fruits o tbuch of the spiritual work which has been done in the church have been reaped by other organizations and other communities. The present membership of the church is one hundred and forty-three, but. the active, resident membership Is about one hundred and ten. During the six years , of Mr. Wood's pastorate the membership of the church has been increased by the addition of Olgitty-uinc members, thirty-five of them by letters front other churches and fifty-four by profession. This gives an average annual increase of about fifteen members for the past six years, a larger annual Increase 1„n the membership than has ever occurred in any other six years in the church's history. The number of dismissals during the period under review was thirty-three; the number of baptisms, twenty seven; and the number of funerals, twenty-four. The amount of money raised for various benevo lent purposes was $4,285, and the amount raised for congregational purposes was about $13,500, making an average of nearly three thousand dol lars psr year raised by the 'church and congrega tion for Its own expenses and for church contri butions and various benevolent purposes. Stott.—The lovers of the sports of the turf are providing themselves with a place for the en. Joyment of the same at Rittereville. Mr. Frank Reichert has laid out a splendid half mile track, immediately In the rear of the hotel, which is now In excellent couditlon. Ile has also turned the old armory of the" uncover Guards" into a first class stable, capable of accommodating about forty horses, with box stalls for the " pets of the ring." The institution is particularly well pat ronized by the citizens of Allentown, and almo=t any afternoon a visitor will fled some of the " heavy weights" of Lehigh county airing them selves around the ring and enjoying themselves wilt the usual contosnitants of a race course. The construction of the proposed turnpike front Broad street bridge to Allentown will be just the thing for lovers of horses and owners of teams. Then Reichart's hotel anal the race course, being on the line of the pike, will rapidly become fash ionable places of resort, and the Itittersville course become famous In the annals of itorsedom. Dave Miller, quite a noted botleninn, has located at Itittersville, and has now foisaiesoMo very hand some ponies. What DIM doesn't 'know about horses is not worth knowing. The 22,1 lustant will ben great' day at Rittersville. All persons who are stockholders In the turnpike, and all who wish It made, will be there. About $13,000 have i already been subscribed ; $5,000 more is needed. All persons alto have given any attention to the large amount of travel between Bethlehem and Allentown are satisfied that the stock will be an excellent Investment. It le estimated that the pike would earn $7 per day. Two dollars will pay expenses, leaving over $1,500 per annum for dividends. Tho pike will be made twenty feet wide, with broken stone one foot in depth., Blake's patent stone breaker will enable the company to make their road for about $2,500 per mile. Let everybody be present on the 22d, and we expect the beet " rig" in town to call at our office and 'take out nur repnrtnr.—A•fhtehent Timm. ": THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE • The Coh . dition of the City—The Debt--Ths Water Department—The Police Force—lm• provements "duggested Mounted Lamp• lighter, To the &fret anti COMMOIL Councils of the Cify of Allentown:—ln accordance with the requirements of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of. Pentisy'yank' passed the twelfth day of Murchj A. D. 1807, known as au act to Incorporate the. City of Allentown, malting it the duty of the Mayor once at least in each year to comtnanicate to Councils n general statement of the condition of the city lu relation to its government, flounces and Improvements, tied to recommend the adop tion of such measures as he might deem expedient for its security, health, cleanliness anti Welfare, I herewith transmit my third annual message, and In doing so I regard it as our paramonet duty to recognize and acknowledge the goodness And mercy of Almighty God in Ills Providential care of our city, in its exemption from pestilence, tu mult and disorder, and keeping our people in a condition of comparative comfort and cheerful in industrious occupation. I have notheen able to get a full financial state ment as to the expenditures of the ditTerent deport, meets, the accounts having not been kept sepa rately, consequently my report will be less detailed than I should have liked to make it. I therefore recommend the passage of an ordi nance requiring the City Treasurer to open a sepa rate account for each department, and providing that proper estimates and appropriations be made at the beginning of each year, of the cams to be expended In such department. BONDED DEBT The bonded debt of the city on the first day of May, A. D. 1867, the beginning of the first finan cial year under the city charter, was $103,981.89, and Is now at the beginning of the present year $155,650.13, to which Is to be added about $45,000 claims due from the purchase of the water works and not yet bonded, but expect to be during the next month, making the total bonded debt (includ ing the $45,000) $200,650.13, shoWing an Increase In the four years of $96,669.24. It is proper to note that the amount of Increase in the bonded debt into be Attributed to the loan Issued In the purchase of the water works, amounting to $99,- 000. =ME The receipts of the treasury during the year ending the eighth day of April were $70,0111.76, and the expenditures during the same time were t 107,912.66. 1113:12 In thin connection I notice that of unpaid taxes there were outstanding on the Bth day of April of this present year $lO,OOO, thus stated: for the year 1819 $9,800 and for the year 1870 $l,lOO. This exhibit of uncollected taxes, and particularly that portion assessed for the years prior to the last, with the facilities afforded by law to collect them, will hardly he satisfactory to the prompt paying citizen, nor is It eredable to ourselves. I regard it as of the highest Importance that no legal means should be neglected to secure prompt payment of the taxes, and to enforce every test provided to ascertain whether they actually reach the city treasury. It is gratifying to note that capitalists appreciate the monetary strength of the city, and Justly relying upon the prompt payment of inter est as it fulls due, and of the principal when: It matures, regard the city loans as among the best In the market, and Invest In them freely when offered. ETBM The income of the Water Departtnent, according to the report of the City Treasurer, was $14,389:18, and the amount expended during the same time, in the extension of pipes and other ImproVements, were '14,707.03. Knowing this to be one of the most important departments of the city, and hav ing thus far been unable to get a full and detailed statement as to Its present condition, I shall make' this the subject of a special message to be sub mitted at an early day. lEEE The total number of arrests during the year was 338, a decrease of PO as compared with those of the previous year, the greater portion of the ar rests, however, being for drunkenness and disor duly conduct. There seems to be a spirit of law lessness among the idle portion of the youth of our population. Many of theseboys are so young as to 'militate that their parents give but little hued to the evil bent of their minds, and take hut little, if any, polite to correct them. The instances of this character ore so frequent Its would seem to require the passage of a law holding the parents directly accountable for the 11l behavirs of their ' children, when under the parents' care and young In years. The number of persons furnished with lodgings at the station houses during the year amounted to 1,015. The greater portion of these persons are of that Place who, having no fixed home anywhere, and being able-bodied, walk the streets during the day;tinw with nothing to do, and In most cases 130 inclination for Industrious occupation, gathering food by begging, or as they can, and when night comes seek shelter In the station houses. The First and Sixth Ward station houses are in bad condition. I suggest to the consideration of Councils the propriety of constructing new station houses at some conveniently Ic - wilted point in sold Wards. The force although working with commendable zeal, falls short faits numbers to meet the fleece. Sides of this large comtnunity. Our population inercases . froni year to year in a rapid ratio, ac quiring new territory every year,and thils stretch ing out the city in every possible direction, and yet the number of police remains the same. I call your particular attention to the extended beats which the officers are obliged to cover, and also the comparison between our own and other cities, as to the proportion of officers to population, in order to convince the most doubtful of the neces sity for an Increase of the foice. If no Increase is to be made In the force, allow me to commend to your consideration the proprlety ofengaging lamp lighters. During the hours for the lighting of lamps'every officer on the force is engaged front one and a half to two and a half hours, and can not, if ever so much needed, be used for any other purpose; and since the hour for extinguishing the, lamps Is the same all over the city; evil disposed persons take advantage of this time, knowing how long a time la required by each officer to per form this duty, thus giving them an almost cer tain opportunity to elude the officer. In this eon nection t would suggest the propriety of engaging the two engineers and the two drivers of the Good Will and Columbia Fire Companies, mounting them with their teams. The large territory re quired to be traversed over in the performance of this duty, will suggest the propriety of mounted lamp lighters to every one. I= I cannot too strongly Impress you with the ne cessity of having some more of our principal streets paved or macadamized. The Improve ments made to Sixth and Tenth, last year, are commented upon by many of our citizens, and there Is a general desk:: expressed to have this branch of improvement extended.

TWO HORRORS IN ONE DAY; A Ilan Found Drowned in a Water Tank—A Boy Shot Dead—Stuipeet ed !Murder by a Boy. Pros) the Scranton Republican. As solne.llttle boys were on Wednesday playing at hide-and-seek about the water tanks of the D. L. & W. Co., situated In their yard near the Cliff Works, one of their number, a boy named Thomas Flynn, thirteen years of age, went up the ladder and hid upon a plank above one of the tanks. Hap pening to look down Into the tank the little fellow discovered something In the water, whtch ho Ito mediately went and examined, and which proved to be the body of a man. He at once notified his brother, a lad some years older than himself, who hurried to police headquarters and informed Chief Ferber of the discovery. That officer proceeded to the huilding in which these tanks are situated and climbing to the top of the huge wooden tank found a body, as the boy bad described, floating upon the surface of the water. A rope was ob tained from the shops of the Company, and men sent to get the body out. The body, upon exam ination, was found to be that Of quite an old man, and from appearances we should think it bad been in the water many weeks, as it was far ad vanced oin decomposition, presenting a most horrid and sickening spectacle. Much of the flesh from the face and hands had already fallen off, while the stench from dhe mace of corruption was unen durable. Alderman Jay was notified, and at 1 o'clock, acting as coroner, be empaneled a jury. The alderman and jurors proceeded to the tank bonze and held an Inquest. Dr. Gensler exam ined the body and failed to find any indications of violence, and the pockets revealed no evidence as to who the unfortunate man was. Ho was a man at least 50 years of age, about 5 feet and 5 Inches in height, stoutly built, and very comfortably dressed. After's thorough Investigation the jury rendered the following : "That in the opinion of thejurore, the deceased, to them unknown, come to hie death by accidental drowning In one of the water tanks of the D. L. & W. E. R. Co." Since writing the above there are those who claim to recognize the body as being that of a Welshman named Thomas,. who lately came to this country, and was for a time at the house of his son, who lives at Pleasant Valley. It isatat ed that the old man had in his possession 15700, which big son soon got into his hands and then turned him out of doors. This was in January last. The old man came to this city and was seen about for a number of days. Officer Larney, Adam Pfeiffer, and some men about the shops, now distinctly recollect the old man, and recall his story of ill-treatment at the hands of those who should have been his aid and comfort In his declining years. A Little Boy Shot. On Tuesday afternoon a little boy named.The &lore Tiedell, eon of L. W. Tlsdell, living in the Eleventh Ward, and doing business as gunsmith on Penn avenue, was enticed away from home by a boy named Williams, who it appears lives in Wayne county, and hue for some time been in this city. They wore seen to leave Mr. Tiedell's house, going In different directions and meeting at Boma polut. , Some time afterwards the boy Williams was seen running, by a very circuitous route, to this city. But young Tiedell did not return home, and search was made for him, but he could not be found, and it was at last suspect ed that be had gone to Wayne county with Wil liams. All night and on Wednesday the search was diligently pursued, but no traces of the little fellow could be found, until about 4 o'clock in the aftornoo., when he was found lying upon his face lu'a little gully skirting a piece of woods at the corner of Stone and Cherry streets. Au exami nation of the body disclosed the horrible fact that be had beau shot, the Charge taking effect in the lower part of the back of the head, completely tearing the skull away. The body was conveyed home to the - grief-stricken parents. ,tio effort has yet been made to get this boy Williams, but be will undoubtedly be taken charge of to-day.
