REAL ESTATE SALE.—Brported by Alder
man Mena :—Philip Miller has sold a two-story
frame house on south side of Pine street, between
Ball and Eighth, to John Boller, for 82250. The
lot Is 20x2110.
BUSINESS in our various iron establishments,
since resnuiption In the coal regions, Is now vety
nearly re-established again. The .various stone

BODY RECOVERED. —The body of young
'Hoffman, who was drowned In the Lehigh at tbil.
place, was recovered Friday afternoon.. A sort

Schnurman, Newhard & Co.„whi lc raising a win•
dow In the frtoro Yrlday morning, received n
scalp wound about an Inch deep by his head sud
denly coming in contact with a Lail projecting
from the sash.
NOT PASSF:I3.—The bill forbidding the sale of
liquor on election days was not passed by the
Senate and signed by the Governor, as reported,
and is not a law. It appears that the bill was
nevcriaken out of the blinds of the Senate corn.,
ntittee, to whom It was reterr:e4,. and hence was
not finally acted upon.
Fr Is the duty of every good citizen to infirm
on all persons guilty of cruel treatment to dumb
animals. The State law la very explicit on this
point, and as it is one of the beat on our statue
book, we should like to see Its provisions rigidly
enforced. There are too many exhibitions of
cruelty to animals on our streets, and a few ar
rests, followed by heavy fines, may have a good
effect.
IN A CRITICAL POSITION.—Mr. JOIN &tip,
Jr., of Upper Ittauch Chunk, conductor on one of
the L. R 8. coal train.), made a narrow escape
with his life, ono day this week, near the Man
sion House. By some means he slipped between
the ears, upon thu track, and 108 cure passed
over him. When he emerged, strange to say,
outside of a few slight bruise•, he was uninjured.
His vest was completely torn from his body.
John thinks he wouldn't like to try the experi
ment oven—Mauch Chunk Democrat.
SPONTANEOUS COMBUBTION.—A lot of oil
rags which were thrown out of Bell's furniture
shop Into Hall street, Friday evening, caught fire
by spontaneous combustion. Through the odor of
the burning oil they were discovered by Mr.
Lawnil, of the arm of letwall A: Martin, and had
it not been for the acute smelling powers of that
gentleman the consequences might have been
serious, as the rags were laying on a pile of
boards. Negligence In throwing such dangerous
articles around indiscriminately is inexcusable.
fled the combustion occurred in the night we
might have bad a serious contiagrathin to chron
icle and the arrest of Innocent parties accused with
incendia •
THE CLAY TREATMENT.—A. malignant ulcer
no a woman's ankle has beau successfully Mired
by application of dried clay as a poultice. The
dried clay was applied for some Months, almost
constantly. It removed tint the inflammation,
which greatly relieved the pains and then effected
the perfect healing of the wound on the principle
of absorption. There remained no scar, and the
Kalb, before stiff, is as elastic as It could be wished.
The effectiveness of the clay may for the mort
part be ascribed to its containing alum, which In
medicine la used as a tonic and astringeM. Pow
dered alum is frequently applied in cases of sore
throat and ulcerations of the mouth.—N. Y. Dem
ocrat.
NOT TO BE LEASED.—Owing to the fact that
rumors had been circulated to the effect that the
N. J. Central R .llroad was to be leased to the
Reading Railroad, President Johnson states em
phatically that no negotiation is pending with any,
road to that effect and that no proposition of that
kind would be entertained. no further says:
" The business of the road was never more flatter
ing. Thu rapid increase of trains has made ne
cesonry the widening of the roadway to receive
third and fourth trucks, as required. Far from
leaning out its own road, this company has just
acquired by lease the control of the Lehigh & sus
quuhanna Railroad, extending Into the heart of
the Pennsylvania coal fields, and securing to it a
vent coal business to be transported under our
management from the mine to the sea-board.
This denial of the report le made necessary by the
numerous inquiries at this office."

CHARGED WITH FORGERY. -00. 111rt7 10th,
Charles Meyer, a cigar manufacturer, residing
near Franconia Square, was arrested by consta
ble Server of Bucks county. Mr. Meyer Is charged
with folging the name of Enos Wambold on two
promissory notes as endorser, payable at the
Doylestown Bank. One note was for $2OO, and

Applebuch, and the latter to D. 0. 11. Noce, both
* Sellersville, Bucks county.. When the notes be
came due It woe found that Mr. Waml;old's name
had been put on without his consent. Mr. Myer,
In default of ball, went to the Doylestown board
ing house.
THE Pottsville Miners' Journal has the fol
lowing ptragraph on " What Becomes of the
Bibles:" "It will no doubt be rather discouraging
to the Bible Society to learn that many of the Bi
bles distributed by them are destroyed, thrown
Kato the rag bag and sold for old paper. We were
shown ou Saturday eveniug a handsome new Bible
from which the cover had been stripped and the
book sold for old paper at the rate of three cents
a pound to a dealer in Railroad street. Thu book
weighed fourteen ounces and therefore yielded two
and a half cents to the depraved being who bold
It. Its original cost could not have becu less than
one dollar and a half. We aro informed by the
gentleman who had this book In his possession
that there were several more Bibles of the seine
kind in the pile of paper rags from which he took
this one—all of which, no doubt, had been distri
buted by the Bible Society."
BLArINOTOre AFFAIRS.—We gather the fol
lowing lufurreatlon from the Blatiugton News :
.Decoration.—Decoratlen day was observed with
appropriate ceretnoulce. The soldiers' graves at
Frledeu's Church Were decorated by Furrugut.
Post, G. R.,aesisted by the Knights of Pythias,
Patriotic eons of America, Sabbath Schools and a
large number of citizens. The music was fur
elated by the Statlngton Brass Band. The ora
tion was delivered by Mu). C. A. White.
Removal. —D. D. Roper, Esq.. hue removed his
law office from the lower part of Stallugton to the
room formerly occupied as an express office, near
the Blatlngton hotel.
Saved from Drowning by a .Dog.—One day last
week while some boys were playing at the out
skirts of the borough, and In the neighborhood, of
a elute quarry belonging to D. D. Jones, Eq., one
of them,a son of Mr. John Link, ventured too near
the quarry and fell in and as there were no per
eons bet boys around, and the quarry full of
water, the boy would most certainly have drowned
but for the timely appearance of " Carlo," a dog
belonging to Mr. A. J. Schnackenberg, cashier of
the Dime Saving Bunk, which seeing the boy la
the water plunged In, grubbed the buy by the
shoulder, and swam with him to shore. Thls dog
has done some mischief at the bunk by making
boles In some gentlemen's pantaloon's who went
there on legitimate business. Carlo to like emne
indivtduals, he has some bad traits and some good
onee.
Accidental Fall from a Windom.—On last Bun
day evening a girl of about 13 years of age met
with an accident that It le rather strange did not
prove fatal. The girl's name is Brown, and It
seems she came on a visit from Monroe county to
her slater who Is doing house work ut the house of
.J. F. Kress, Esq. Io the evening when she was
about to retire, she went to a room In the third
story of the house, the window to the room being
In the gable of the building ; as she was undress
ing she took off a string of beads and laid them
on the window, which eh° noticed rolling out
when she made a grasp for them and fell out of
the window, fulling a distance of about 25 feet
and landing on a slate pavement. Dr. Btvckel
was at once called . op, and after examining her
nund that she had suffered some bruises but no
serious Injury. This Is the third fall this young
lady has bad of considerable height, and hap never
been seriously hart.
THE LEHIGH - REGISTER, ALLENTOWN. WEDNESDAY JUNE. '7,1871.
STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.—The
Seventh Annual Convention of the State Sabbath
School Association - will be held at Allentown, on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 13th,
14th and 15th of June." All the earnest Sunday
school workers of the Keystone State ere cordially
Invited to be present. Each evangelical school Is
request. dto send' two or more delegates. Thwe
who propose to attend should notify A. J. Brelnig,
Allentown, who Is Chairman of Local Committee
of Arrangements, on or before the 7th of June, so
that entertainment' - may be secured, and orders
for excursion tickets procured and forward. d.
EXPLORIoN OF A LOCOMOTIVE.—ThiBpInrrI•
ing at about half-past nine o'clock, the shifting
engine, " Eva," while standing is Gaynor's cut
on the Morris & Essex lt tllmad, exploded her
boiler, tearing the engine intopleree and thrOwing
portions of it to a great distance. The engineer,
Mr. J. Stephenson, and his fireman, were an the
engine at the time, but escaped almost uninjured.
The bell of the engine was thrown a d stance of
about two hundred yards, and one piece of the
bolter struck the carriage of Dr. C. C. Jennings,
who was driving along the wagon road about an
eighth of a mile distant. At the time of the ex
plosion, there was a steam pressure of 125 lbs.,
with three guages of water. The accident is at
tributed to a defect in the batten—Easton Express.
OUlt BANDS.—Lehigh Minty has cause to
be proud of her innumerable brass bands which
a.c scattered all over the county. As a general
thing organizations of this character outside of
the large towns and cities are tame affairs and
their music is little better than that performed by
Callthumplan serenaders, but In Lehigh county
one of the natural accomplishments of our people
appears to be music. Among the best musical
organizations of this vicinity Is the Selp4town
Cornet Rind, which furnished the music for the
Liberty Hose Company on the occasion of the
Firemen's Parade. Although organizA only
about a year ago, - tho members give promise of
becoming, with practice, an organiz,tion which
will gain honor wherever It may go for the excel
lent character of Its music.
SAD DROWNING 'ACClDLNT.—Wednesday
afternoon Lewis Huffman, son of Lewis Hoffman,
flUed between five and cix years, went fishing in
company with two boys by the name of Charlie
Cole and Harry Nagle. While fishlog in the Le
high below the dam [Lamm end Cole fell Into
the water and Hoffman was drowned. There are
various conflicting rumors concerning the cause
of the accident. Young Cute says they were
standing on some logs, which had become slippery
from the rain, and while Huff nun wee endeavor
ing to catch a stick which was floating In the
water he fell in. In the excitement which fol
lowed Cole also silpoed In, but succeeded In say
log himself. Next morning the river was dragged,
cannon were fired and every modes taken to re
cover the body, but thus for without avail. The
unfortunate boy's grief-stricken parents reside at
No. 137 Hamilton street, and moved to this city
only about a month ago.
A MODEST CLERK IN A ThIANISIA.—A few
days since a young lady stepped' Into Me•srs. six
ler /t FOK'd Jewelry store, In this borough, and
naked to be shown some bracelets and whilst ex
amining them managed, to slip a pair, worth about
$35, Into her pocket. She did not find anything
to suit herund left before the theft was discovered.
She proccaled to IL C. Dawes, where she produced
the stolen bracelets, saying that her father had
purchased them there sumo time lattice and as they
did not suit her she wished to exchange them for
other Jewelry, and asked to bo shown some rings.
The clerk produced the rings and whilst et/omitt
ing them she managed to slip one In her pocket
uud another In her bosom. This the clerk saw
and charged her with the theft. AL this she be
came very Indignant and demanded to be searched.
The young man Immedlately.tbrust his baud Into
her locket and drew forth the stolen trinket ; Ills
modesty forbade him "going Into" the other re
ceptacle, and us the lady Immediately left the
store, leaving the bracelets on the counter, Mr.
Dawes Is minus one gold ring, as On learulnc that
the bracelets were stolen he Immediately returned
them to their owner. Modesty Is becoming in its
place, but In this Instance It was expensive to Mr.
Dawes.—Enbton Sentinel. ' •
BROKE Jath.—The Mauch Chunk Democrat
says the two meo arrested and pli.ced in the Jail
of that county, charged with stealing a mare from
,Mr. Bowman, of Weissport, an account of which
we gave last week, made their escape from
the prison or Friday MOt of last week, notwith
standing the great precaution taken by the Sheriff
to retain them for trial. Knowing the inefficiency
of the old J ill that officer had them securely hob
bled and chained to the 'login the floor of the cell.
About ten o'clock on the evening of the escape, in
company with a police officer, a visit was made to
I the Jell, and a• thorough examination made.
Everything appeared perfectly safe, and they were
locked lu tuck cells for the night. A prisoner oc
cupying an adjoining cell, some time during the
night managed to reach through the hole In his
door, and by means of a false key, open his apart
ment. It Is supposed he gave liberty to the horse
thieves. They then proc •eded to take out the
mortar and sham lu u newly mended place, which
.rendered their escape qu'te easy. They took with
them, attached to their legs, the greater part of
their hobbies. They no doubt had confederates
outside, and were driven away, as soon as they
gained their liberty. No blame, whatever, can be
attached to the officer In charge, as we know he
took every precaution tokeepthem ; but the flimsy
situation of our old prison would require the con
stant eye of a guard to render the keepir.g of pri
soners a certainty. Rumor' has It that a minion
of the bobbies were found in the Mahoning creek,
near Olewine's Lanyard, which, If true, won d in
dicate the route they took. When we get posses
sion of our sew prison, we may he able to retain
trespassers of the law for trial and punishment.

etructive, and that the combined talent of those

It Is seldom that our community Is favored with
so important a convention as tills, which from all.
present Indications promises to be a complete suc

will be Judged to a great extent by the Interest
they manifest In this enterprise, and It is to be
hoped that the fair fame which they have achieved
In the Sunday•sebool work will not be tarnished
by any w.l ful apathy or inditt reit .e.
Let every school lu the county send at least two
delegates, and it. Is hoped and expected that all
the pastors In the comity will be present, so that

moral and religious obligations.
On Thursday morning, the third day of the con

of TiLthman IL Moyer, erected by the contribu
tions of the different Sunday-schools in the county.
The meeting of this Association anA the comple

happy coincidence that will never occur again,
and hence it is desired that there be it general at
tendance on that day, u..pecially of the officers,
teachers, scholars and friends of all the schools
lln the county, and also of the mast ore of the Vari
ous religions denominations.

From The fihrnniv'r of May 3).
Ta-day the Notion does honor to the memory
of her patriot dead and everywhere, with one ac
cord, the people have set mum this day to the
holy cause. In this city the beautiful and im=
pre4sive ceremonies are being performed as we go
to press, and the link which connects' our memo
ries with the hetole bravery of our gallant defend
era Is In tnis manner preserved. We hope the
custom will survive this generation. In our nat
ural selll,lthess we are tot ready to forget what
we owe to the bravest and best soldiers the world
ever.saw, but the sprinkling of garlands over the
last resting places of our heroes keeps their mem
ory green 'within nor• hearts. Among the most
recent 'graves of noble men on which our tea N
have fallen Is that of John 11. Oliver, nut there
arc others less known, and of whom no friends Sr
relatives are sear to plant the rows or other toil

ceive honor, to-day, from the Grand. Army, the
Exeelsior Rifles, the Mechanics, Sons of Temper

CHICAGO, ILL., May 17, 1871.
In the opening of this letter we shall take a re
trospective glance over the history of this city.
It derives its name from a clack known by the
eat ly settlers as Chlcageti. This creek was Oral
discovered by a party of Frenchmen who left
Canada In 1073, and were on their way to the
source of the Mississippi river. The first man
who lived here permanently was John Klnzie v an
I alto) trader, who landed here about 1804. Com
merce was introduced by him, consisting prlnel-
',ally in the iOr , trade. Boon trade began to:flour
sh, and Its necessary auxiliary in those days—a
fort—nun soon erected on the south aide of the
river. From this early period Chicago was but
tie known until 1830, when Ito population was
c hundred, Including half breed Indians and
ilegroce. It was Incorporated as t city March 4,
1837. On the first of July, 1637, the:official cen
sus reported a population of 4,170. The city then
contained 4 et firehouses, 308 dwellings, 29 '+tores,
10 taverns, 17 lawyer's offices and five churches.
The last census reports a population over a quar
ter of a million of people. 1(1 1669 there were 126
churelle , , costing $8,203,100. There aro many
ear churches Wag erected; among those already
rented there are some specimens of architectural
IMIIII
The streets surrounding the Sherman House,
being the principal ones of the city, present a lively
,peetacie from our windows. All sorts of wagons,
!rays, carts, Juteropersed with costly vehicieg,
dashing to and fro—the long line of handsome
coaches by the sidewalk—the busy crowd moving
mp and dawn the pavements—the cry of the news
moy and the hoot-black—remind us of the busy
treets of New York. All these things indicate
hat they " push timings" in Chicago.
We are sorry that our friend llolt, the cotton
peculator, did not accompany us further than

he water works. At this point he might have
COIICCIVeIi some additional Ideas with which to
, iamboczle those "heavy capitalists" at Allen
town, for it would certainly have been more wise
so listen to the proposition of building a cotton
factory In the Saucou Valley and getting tbe.water
means of a tunoi, • from the Lehigh dam, than
to entertain for a moment any of crazy notions.
Everybody has heard or'read of
1=
ily this tunnel the city of Chicago In nupplled
with water. All that can be seen of It now Is
where the shore shaft was sunk. Its historical
lescrlptlon, which we gather In a condensed form,
a as follows: The first ground was broken in
March, 1861, The shore shaft wassunk too depth
,r 67 feet, the tunnel from this point extending
for two miles hi a straight line into the lake. The
leer width of the tunnel Is five feet rind the clear
eight live feet two Inches—the top and bottom
rches being setni•circles. It Is Hued with brick
tasonry eight Inches thick, In two wings or shells,
lie bricks being laid lengthwise of the tunnel with
Loathing Joints. The bottom of the Inside surface
of the bore'at the lake cud Is 60 feet below the
water level, with a gradual slope df two feet to
We tulle towards the shore shaft. This tunnel
110 W delivers under a head of two feet 19,000,000
gallons of water daily ; under a head of eight. feet
38,000,000 gatlons, and under a head of 18 feet
37,000,000 gallons.
The crib %Odell can be plainly seen from the
treets of the city, standing out in the lake, re
emhles a huge lighthouse. It Is 90 feet 0 Inches
ligh and built In pentagonal form, in a elrcum
crlbing circle of US feet and 6 Inches in diameter.
t Ic built of logs one foot square, and consists of
hirer walls at n distance of eleven feet from each
her, leaving a central pentagonal epuce, having
fit Inscribed circle of twentpilec feet, within which
s fixed the Iron cylinder, nine feet In diameter,
miming from the water line to the tunliel, 64 feet
ielow the surface and 31 feet below the bed of the
lie at that point. It contains 750,000 feet of
lumber and 150 tons of Iron bolts. It Is filled with
4,505 tons of stone and weighs 5,700 tons. This
crib is visited by hundreds of visitors, and is
reached by means of a steam tug. The new
water works are objects of Interest. Large and
well suited buildings. arranged for Inspection of
such as choose to visit them, cover the machinery.
The total power of the engines pump 38,000,000
gallons daily. Another engine Is about being
erected, whose capacity Is to be equal to the three
already in operation. 7he total cost of the water
work, Is $900,000. The men in charge Or the
works manifest that seine spirit of friendliness
that we have met with everywhere in Chicago.
Everything of Interest Is pointed out to on to a
kind manner, and any benefit one derives from
such a visit meets their approval. Before ending
his letter, I will fullll my promise In part by tell

Mr. Editer:—ltt aecitlentaLy picking up the
Allentown Ledger the other day and glancing
over Its editorials, I was struck with untonisinnent
to find an article under the title of "Dead beats,"
with seven or eight non-subscribers, as such,
which he calls dishonest and of a swindling char
acter, because they don't take hie unasked•for
paper, which be is endeavoring to force upon the
citizens, and In particular upon the teachers of
Lehigh county. Nobody wishes to be forced to
accept of something that he does not favor. Then
we are somewhat like our glorious country, free
and Independent, and my candid opinion In that
light Is that we have a right to act so, providing
we do right. Even If my name was not published
I was diSpleased to see the names of my friends
popularized in such a way, and besides, I think
It Is entirely the Wrong bait to catch subscribers,
And if he cane , them "dead beats," the way he
acts shows as If be was really an inanimate Hie
red beat. The piece was so discredltatla and low
that I don't think It would have been is place to
read it in a budget in a district literary society,
and much lens was It lu place for a public sheet.
I do not pretend to say that tile sheet. It such a
bad one. though such an uncommon, dishonest
and discouraging method of lutroducing it never
"takes." This may be rather cutting, like " Al
pha's" and the " Democrat's" pieces a couple 'of
weeks ego, though as we have free use of the
tongue and pen In the United States, you would
confer a favor to publish this'as my honest opin•
ion on " Dead beats."
