The detectives were placed upon the track about ti week ago last Saturday, two of the sus pected parties were traced to New York city.

Thus stands matters at present. Ilere is a chance for our de. tectives.—Easton Express of Tuesday. FARMERS' CiAnts.—There is a general move ment on toot In various sect Inns of the State to es tablish farmers' clubs.

Rumor has it that she left with the understanding that she was to meet her "affinity" at some place out of town and they would then begin thelrJourney to— gether. It Is said the fleeing female was accom— panied by a lady companion, and if that Is so we don't suppose the trio will stop this side of Utah. \Yuan Arteusue Ward was a Cleveland re porter, this Is the way he wrote local brevities "Our old friend Bruce met with an accident this morning.

Valuable horse belonging to E. D. Johnson, of Norristown, was seriously II J tired the other day In a singular manner. Ile was stabled at the Montgomeri House In the neat stall to a horse belonging to 11. C. 11111, with an open sp . ive between them. It Is supposed that the horses were playing with, and biting each other, anti it was discovered by the ostler that the grey horse had his tongue bitten through and tore out. A piece about eight inches long was found in the stall, and as the poor ani mal is evidently Buffering great pain It is feared that he will have to be killed. MAD Doos.—Wilkes Barre was somewhat excited the early part of this week by a mad dog running through the streets. The rabbi animal bit all the dogs along Its path and Was ilnal.y overtaken and killed though not until it had bit— ten a child. At least a dozen dogs were bitten, though none of the animals have been killed. We can't see the necessity of having the worthless curs In a town at all, whethet they are mid or not, but if the nasty things cannot be extermina— ted they should at least be restrained from run— ning at large in the street. If we bad our way about the mutter we'd have every dog in Allentown sent to Kingdom Come instanter. Wllo SToLE TEAT }RM 4—Last week, Chief of Police Kleckner wandered down to the American, where he was accosted by Mr. Ileum ninger, superintenient of the Emaus Iron Com pany, who stated that he bad fastened his horse In front of the American and that when he was ready td' start for home found that his team had disap peared, and was of the opinion that it had been stolen. A team, however, was procured from a livery stable and the Superintendent started home, mourning the loss of his horse and carriage. About half an hour after Mr. Henninger's depar ture, one of our policemen found the stolen (1) horse securely fastened to the b Itching poet. In front of the First National Bank, where the owner had no doubt tied him. A. DIFFICULT OPERATION.—About six weeks ago, Solomon Diehl, residing near Slegersville,and father of Pluton Diehl, of this city, was badly frozen by exposure to the terribly cold weather that prevailed about that time. Parts of his hands became mortlitnl and It was foiled necessary to resort to amputation. Last week Drs. Selple,Kern and A. J. Lautptch performed the , 1111121111, opera tion. Three fingers of the left hand were taken off at the loner Joints, the index finger ut the second Joint, and the thumb at the second Joint. On the right the thumb was token off at the second joint, the Index, finger 'at the firEt joint, next two fingers at the third Joint and at the little finger the metacarpal bone had to be removed. Mr. Diehl Is about sixty-four years old and endured the operation remarkably well. CONTRACT AWARDED.—The contract for building the new residence of Dr. Alfred Martin, propomis for which were received ut the office of the architect, J. Boyd Henri, was yesterday award ed to S'epheu Dorublaszr Sr Co. The bids for the contract varld from $6,000 to $8,400. This (lit femora In the estimates of the bidders Shows the importance of inviting competition when you In tend to build, and the necessity of employing a skilled arultiteet to make the plan and draw up the specifications correctly so as to enable the con tractors to understand exactly what they are esti mating for. Dr. Martin's house is tobe three sto ries high, built of Philadelphia pressed brick, with brown stone facings, and is to be finished by the 50th of September. The work - will be done under the supervision of the architect, J. Boyd Duni% of this city. LET US HAVE A GARBAGE SYSTEM.—An ordnance of the city requires the citizens to re move ashes and all gi.rbage from their prernbes every Spring, and it is a matter which causes considerable trouble and annoyance to persons who live in places not easy of access for carts. In other cities of the 81E0 of Allentown, there Is a garbage sycem in operation and all ashes and garbage are removed every day. Every house Is provided with boxes in which to put the trash,and they are placed on the side•walk every morning for the driver of the garbage cart to empty. By, our system we clean out the disease-breeding ma terial every spring, but during th.l hot summer months the staff that has accumulated after tile annual cleaning, Is allowed to remain In the back yard. Besides the convenience of the once-a-day removal to our citizens we think the garbage sys tem should be adop , ,ed for sanitary reasons. We hope the Board of Ilealth will give the matter some attention. , True following legal points are going the rounds of the press : A note by a minor Is void. A note an Sunday le void. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. A contract that is made by a lunatic Is void. The law compels no one to do impossibilities. An agreement without any consideration is void. Sig• sutures made with a lead pencil are good in law. A sculpt for money paid is not legally conclusive. The acts of one partner in the firm bled all the others. Contracts made on Sunday cannot be en forced. Principals are responsible for the acts of agents: It is not legally necessary to say on a notg , o for value recelyed.” If a note be lost or stolefl, it does not release the Tinker; he moist pay It., Each imilvidua lln partnership in responsible for The whole amount of the firm. A note ob tained by fraud, or from a person In a state of in toxication, cannot be collected. An indorser of a note la exempt from liability if ootserved with no tice of Its dishonor w thin twenty-four boon of its oon•paymoat. REFITTED.—Edwin Albright, Esq., has Just completed the renovation of his law oMce and It now has a very inviting appearance, doing al most as much to make visitors "feel at home" as the cordial manners of the gentleman himself. HORSE STOLEN. A valuable horse was stolen. early Sunday morning, from the stable of Ell Roffman, on Seventh street above Liberty. The owner bad lately moved here from New York. No traces of the horse or thief have yet been dis covered.

TRH BURNING OF " WILIIELM'S" "HUT.— Along the line of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad near the new round house, above the Bethlehem Junction, was located a small frame but, Inhabited by " Wilhelm," the well-known rag picker. On kriday night, at about 11% o'clock, the night operator at the Junction dis covered the but in flames, and immediately com municated the fact to several railroad employes, who hastened to the rescue. They arrived not a moment too soon, as the tire bad almort rta?lad " Wilhelm" who lay sound asleep on hiabed. He was dragged out from his perilous situation, and wi•h his bed and bog wet e all that was saved from the burning building: " Wilhelm" was engaged on naturday In soliciting subscriptione to aid him In rebuilding his but.

He said that an Introduction to them was scarcely necessary. He bad come t 3 Norristown twenty-three years ago, and hod been at school with many who pow heard him. At different times alter arr clog at his majority, his fellow citizens had honored him with their confidence, and he had reason to believe that is the part he had taken lu the various civil and beneficial offi ces he had held, his conduct had been approved. At the beginning of the rebellion he was selected to command Montgomery's sons, and he saw befor, him now many who had followed him through that four years' struggle. The people of _the State had selected him twice to be their can didate for Governor. of this great State was an honor of which any man might be proud. He had no words sufliclent to testify his appreciation of the , compliment, but if elected ho would en deavor to show the people that their confidence was not misplaced. The newspaper slanders of 'the day gave him uo concern. Els record was his detence. He hoped that his friends would simply do their duty in the coming campaign, and that his opponents would show him fair play. He bad received congratulations from Republican and Democratic eources,but the honor of this serenade was greater than all. He again thanked his friends for their kindness and wished th.mt good-nieht. Tito General's modest and appropriate words were thoroughly appreciated by his hearers, one of the old " knapsacks" who served under him, remarking that he never heard " Old Johnny" make so long a speech. "Just so," said another, " He knows more about Hardee and Upton than he does about Chesterfield."—Norrhdown Herald.

NEEDS LOOKING AFFER.—SOMO of our sub scebers In the First Ward request us to call the attention of the Board or Health to the emptying of night soil on a lot on Second street above Turner. PERSONAL.—Governor Geary In returning home from New York, on Saturday, wasattacked with bilious diarrhoea, and wan mpellcd to stop at Easton. During Saturday night be was quite seriously ill, but was somewhat betteron Sunday. He expected to ho able to resume his Journey home ward Monday morning. ACCIDENT.—An accident occurred Monday morning about 7 o'clock,ln the Allentown Rolling Mill, by which two persons, John Shneffer end one Barrett, were pretty badly burned Shaeffer was severely burned In the face and on the arms and may possibly lose one of his eyes, while Barrett suffered injuries on the back. The accident was due to an explosion in one of the furnaces by throwing water on the hot Iron. Dr. Reichard at- tended to the Injuries. TrrE Slatington Literary Society held a meeting on Thursday evening. The question for discussion was "That marriage is preferable to single life." The double fellows overpowered the single once In the discussion and the result was a decision In favor of the negative. The meetings of this Society are well attended and the discussions are participited In by the lead ing men of the place and uro made very Interest ing,. Tnnowtt FROM A BOOOY.-00 Sunday eve• sing, about half-past seven o'clock, a singular ac- cident occurred at Eighth and Union streets, by which John Druckenmillar, Paul Hoffman and Charles Miller, all of Erna* were injured. The party were riding in a buggy, and In slowly turn ing up Eighth street from Union, the driver turned too short and tilted the buggy sufficiently to throw the trio out. They all struck the ground heads foremost an I were neces,arily sevortily hurt. Druckenmiller had a deep gash cot on the left side of his face Immediately in front of his ear,his nose was skinned and his face otherwise Injured. Hoff man's right arm was sprained and he suffered more pain than either of his companions. He was carried to Jesse Yohe's where Dr. C. D. Martin dressed his wounds and attended to the injuries of his companions. Miller appeared to have received the heaviest fall, though he was injured the least. The horse became frightened when the men were thrown out and ran up Eighth street about thirty or forty yards, and on to the pavement In front of Jesse Yohe's, where he was captured. The horse and buggy both escaped injury. FIFTH STREET promises to be ono of the handsomest thoroughfares In the city. We hear of two more flue dwellings that aro to be erected Am that street the coming summer. It Is unfortunate that we cannot have one street devoted exclusively to fine dwellings, not so much for the sake of having an aristocratic street as to have one that will Impress the minds of strangers with its beauty. We have a large number of hand— some dwellings scattered throughout the city, but when sandwiched between Inferior houies they do not give a street that appearance which would be obtained from a row of houses all of similar pre— tensions. I 1 a number of those who contemplate building this year would club together,bny a square and erect their houses in cottage style, they would save money,' make an attractive addition to the city and secure health and comforts that could not otherwise be obtained. Plastered houses are cheap, durable and pretty, when the plastering le dote by a boss who understands his business, and when a number of houses aro put up at the same time, even though they are not all alike in style of archi— tecture, considerable money can be saved. We have heard it said that a Job of outside plastering that will be durable can't bo done to this city, but there is no such word as can't. Where there's a will there's a way, and we do not think there has been enough experience in the matter here to Justify such a conclusion. - MAYOR'S COURT.—The list of cases at the Mayor's Office, Monday morning, was quite large. W. Beagreaves and Frank Saeger drove through the streets on Saturday evening,obont ten o'clock, at a speed much faster than the law allows. Of ficer Minicoy arrested them and they paid $5 apiece to the Mayor. Thos. Mickley and John Kauffman, half grown boys, pummeled each other at Ninth and Hamil ton. Officer Meltzler observed the fracas and arrested theM. The Mayor fined them one dollar each. James McGee and his wife took ardent spirits on Saturday night, after which they indulged in a spirited fight. On Sunday morning they re newed hostilities and Officer McCloskey arrested James. The latter exhibited a gash, caused by a tea cup thrown by his wife. He paid a fine of three dollars. " Thomas Torby was found In another man's house. Torby was drunk and refused to leave the premises. Officer Gallagher was called In and took Torby before the Mayur, to whom he pald three dollars for his stubbornness. Coudy Munday got drunk on Ssturday,and was brought before the Mayor by Officer McCloskey, oa Monday, and was fined two dollars. Samuel M Iddleton was brought up by McClos key, charged with drunkenness, etc., but was d Is charged. LEUIOU COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL AOSOCIA TION.—Tha officers and executive committe of this association were convened on Saturday evening, April 20th, for the special purpose of making pre paration. for the annual convention, to be held on Ascension Day, May oth. • In the unavoidable absence of the President, Rev. R. Walker, Mr. W. J. Hoxworth was ap pointed President pro tem. With the members present there was a unani mous feeling and desire to make the coming Con vention one of Interest and religions instruction, not short of, but if possible, even beyond that of the past Conventions. After interchange of opinions re'ative to the pant, present, and future of the Association, mat ters bearing upon the special object of the meet ing were so discussed as to prod ace a general out line of the work to be done. With a view to Im mediate, prompt and telling action, the to:lowing special committees were appointed : . Committee on Programme-11.K Boob rle, Luth• erun ; Rol. R. Walker, Presbyterian; W. R. Law fer, Zion's R4ormed. On Place of Meeting—George Kuhl, Bt. John'e Reformed ; M. B. Schad ,English Evangelical; I'. J. Sc. ineyer, United Brethren. On Printing and Advertising—B. B. Anewalt, Lutheran ; W. J. Go:worth, Baptist.; J. B. Blery, A 10.11004 Episcopal. Each of these committees were empowered to appoint sub•commlttees to assist in the necessary work. The followlirglnstructions and suggestions were given to the committees :—The Committee on Pro gramme were instructed to select such subjects for addrerses and discussions as would beet teed toward complete development of successful Sun day School work to our county ; to appoint speak ers for the addresses and for opening the discus alone, and to make selections of hymns for the different meetings. The suggestion was made that the Convention consist of four sessions, hav ing the first on Wednesday evening, May Bth, and three on Thursday, May oth, (Ascension Day) morning,aftereouond evening. The Com mittee was also Instructed to ask the different denominations In Allentown having Wednesday evening for their week day meeting, to dispense with the same on this occasion, so as to Insure the full co-operation of all denominations. The Com mittee on place of meeting were Instructed to make suitable application for the Court House, for holding said Convention. The Committee on printing and advertising re ceived instructions to leave nothing undone tow ard making the proposed Convention generally familiar with the Sunday School workers of the County. The meeting was adjourned to meat again on MondaY evening, April 20th. A. J. BIMINIO, Secretary. GULDIN has received another lot of new goods which are very much admired by the ladles.

The wisdom of this portion of our charter must qe otivloas to the most careless observer. With. out some such periodical review of our conduct we should gain noexperlenecor wisdom from the past and be comparatively unable to adopt the meas ures necessary and proper for the security, health and welfare of our citizens. In opening the tiir,t session of Councils for the ensuing municipal year It affords me great pleas. ure to he able to congratulate you, and through you the. mass of our fellow chizeus, upon the un usual health and prosperity that have marked the year that has just ended, and to Join you In re. turning thanks tofion, who has preserved U 6 from pestilence, tumult and disorder of all Idols, and kept us as a people lu the midst of comfort and cheerful, prosperous Industry. I recommend an a matter of paramount honer tauce the most liberal legislation on your part in relation to the general Improvement of our, grow ing city, being well ea tigtled that the energy, en. terprise and congruent prosperity of every corn• inanity depend entirely upon the action o Inaction of those who control its public anirs. When the government of any pdoplc is energetic In the dis charge of Its duties, Its Influence will pervade all classes of the community and Inspire them with the same spirit. When this Is wanting the public become cureless, torpid and unfit for the age In which we now live. I r gret that I am unable to furnish you with a full and satisfactory statement of our city finances, the account of the Treasurer, though accurate in the results, being In such a ensdition as to details as to render this Impossible. So far as I can learn the Treasurer has been In the habit of keeping but one account, In which entriesare Indiscriminately made as debits and credits as In an ordlua y cash book. When the City Auditors meet, as they-do annually in the month of May, the items in the general account are to some extent analyzed and separated, but until this la done It is utterly im possible to make any statement of our financial condition that is at all satisfactory. Inasmuch as all the monies of the city, no matter whence de rived, pass through the hands of the Treasurer, it occurs to me that the account should be kept In accordance with the most approved system of bookkeeping. I called the attention of the last two Councils to this matter without effect, and I now renew the recommendations then made, to wi t:—the passage of an Ordinance prescribing the manner in which the city accounts &fall be kept, aud requiring the Treasurer so to systematize the Items of which it Is made up, that they may show at a glance the receipts and expenditures in every branch of the city government, and to transmit his annual re port to Councils through the Mayor, on or before the 15th of March, instead of May. as he is now required to do, so that while the general result of the previous year may be stated in the Mayor's annual message, the Councils may have before them, at their first meeting, the necessary data for their future action. If this should add to the labor of this officer let him bo provided with such an increase•of salary us will enable him to emp:oy a clerk and proper office room. Unless the tlouncils are able at any time and at all times to know the exact condition of the Water and Fire Departments, or Police force, the Street Commissioners' account, the City indebt• edbcss, the Interest account, kc.,it will be impos sible for them to act as they should on the ques tions that from time to time come before them. Each Department should have Its head, or su perintendent, who should be required to keep an accurate account of all the transactions done un der his supervlslon,and reportannually, In March, to the Councils, through the Mayor. We are growing with us and unless we adopt a better system than we have heretofore had, we shall soon be lost in the confusion that will Inevitably result from It. The question as to the expediency of building a new reservoir has been thoroughly discussed among our people and the folly of so largo an ex penditure of money on so unnecessary a piece of work is so generdly admitted that I have no doubt but that you will, among your first acts, repeal the ordinance authorizing its construction and Lill rect the committee on city property to expose to public sale and sell to the highest bidder the property lately purchased for that purpose. When water works depend for their Emptily upon a elude line of aqueduct, of great length, It is ne. cessary that the etorago reservoirs should he large enough to retain sufficle•A water to admit of re pairs, should accident occur to the line. But here, where the very source of supply forms a natural reservoir within one mile of the centre of the elty, and the only thing necessary is to raise the water to a sufficient height to supply the second story of a 'first class dwelling on the highest ground within the city limits, (which will be about thirty feet above the level of our present mere ir), storage is 01 no consequence. The cheapest, and in my opinion the most practicable, plan for our works, is to erect a stand pipe, say forty feet high, im med lately adjoining the reservoir, pump all the water into this pipe leaving the overflow to run Into the present reservoir, and supply all portions of the city below Eighth street from the reservoir, and all above that point from the stand pips. I again recommend the propriety of levying a frontage tax of sufficient amount to pay the cost price of ail water tattles that may bereafterbe laid, and the reduction of water permits to one.half the price now paid by parties, where the mains are owned by the city ; also, making an ordinance levying a protection tax upon property where wa ter mains are laid Jind the water not used, Inoper ative, when such mains are paid for by the owner Of said property. Aud were this same privilege extendedlo parties where water mains aro already laid, I have nodoubt but that Ina few years her.ce the whole of the water mains would be paid for by the property owners, and If this money would he applied to the liquidation of the water debt, little of that would remain unpaid. The new turbine wheel, erected by Wm. F. ?dosser & Co., during the last season, is a perfect success. It drives two ten-Inca pumps, making thirteen revolutions per minute, with comparative ease, and has sufficient power to supply the city for the next fifteen or twenty years. But If this principle of direct sup. ply Is adopted, our wholedependance willbe apart the machinery and will of course require it to be duplicated, which I recommend to have done at once, and when this is completed our water works will be equal to any In the State. The whole cost of this Improvement will not exceed ten thousand dollars, including the proposed turbid() water wheel and pump. The neglected condition of our public streetsdur ing the last few years is a matter of general com plaint, and unless the position of Street Commis sioner is raised above that of an ordinary overseer over a gang of laborers. little I uprovement can be expected. I therefore recommend that the office of Street Commls,ioner he made a salaried office and that . he he required to keep all the streets with in the city limits in good repair, end havegeneral supervision overall the street work ; also, that he keep a detailed account of all the money expended In his. departmout, and transmit au annual state ment of the same to Councils, through the Mayor, on or before the 15th day of March, adding such other Information and suggestions as may be deemed proper. I also recommend that the City Engineer and the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, each be required to keep detail. d accounts of an the work done and monies expended in their respective departments, and transmit annual reports of the same to Councils through the Mayor, on or before the 15th day of March, adding such other informa tion respecting the.r departments as may he con sidered of importance. The City Engineer to In clude In his report the number of buildings erected, and of what material built. I also recommend the passage of an ordinance creating the office of City Commissioner, with an annual salary, whose duty it shall be to have gen eral charge of all city property, keeping the same in good rejair, supervisor of the street lamps,curb ing and paving the sidewalks, market house, and perform all suet other duties as may from time to time beimposed. Also require him to keep detailed accounts of all the mottles received and expended In his department and transmit an annual state ment thereof to Councils, through the Mayor, on or before the 15th day of March, with such other Information as may be deemed of Importance. A competent man in charge of this department will save to the city double the amount of his salary. I also recommend that the Mayor, City, Street and Water Commissioners, City Engineer, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, and the Chair. man of the Board of Health, be constituted a Board of Commissioners, a majority of whom shall be a quorum, for the transaction of such business as may be referred to them by Councils, keep accurate minutes of their transactions, and submit them to Councils at all of the stated meet ings. The beneficial results to •he city in thus baring a responsible bead to each of the depart. meets, requiring an annual and detailed report from each, cannot be over estimated. I recommend at present the following improve ments : The opening and grading of Third street between Hamilton street and the Little Lehigh bridge, and the opening and grading of Union street between the Jordan Bridge and Front street are necessary improvements, and If the wishes of the public are consulteLcannot longer be delayed. In consequence of the large amount of filling re quired to grade these streets,!.nd the difficulty of procuring it the immed iate neighborhood, I recommend that Union street between Second and Eighth streets, and Fourth street between Uni m and Gordon, be macadamized, and the surplus material thereof used for said grading. Also,tbat Gordon street, between Fourth street and Ridge Road, and Eighth, Ninth and Lumber between Liberty dud Tilghman streets, be gladed. I also recommend the macadamizing of Eighth and Ninth streets between Union and Liberty streets, many of the resident property owners of both these streets having requested mo to urge this work. In compliance with a resolution of the former Councils, I have notified property owners along the westward extension of Walnut, Hamilton, Linden, Turner, Chew and Liberty streets,toopen the street along their respective properties, and when opened it will be necessary to have them pot In passable condition. In conclusion, permit me to remind you that the interests of our city and our citizens require great caution In the expenditure of public money, not by withholding it entirely, which Is no economy at all, but by the prevention of waste and fraud, and the exercise of your beet judzment ih relation to public improvemeuta without regard to the .private interests of any man, or body of, men, wi 61n tml,r city Balite, or chowder°. he tendency in all communities in these mod ern times, seems to be toward tde fornatticm of cliques, who substitute d yokel to each other's interest, for On pybllc good. Circlinances ere passed and improvemeota ordered le th's way that can dud no , senctiee in the public ruled, and those In NOM the destinies of the whole people are placed, are mitre word for the merest private beet- Mit, without their kilo% ledge or consent. Let ua hope that thlsyreat and growing evil may find no resting place with us. It has been Intimated that our charter might be Improved by a careful revision and modification of Its provisions. If this Is deemed proper, I suggest that the whale subject be referred to a competent committee, whose report eau be discussed In Coun cils and by the public, before It has passed Into a law. Fog°levllle Correilliondence On Saturday morning, the 13th, Judge. W. Fo gel rose up early to build the fires, dtc., when a sudden attack of paralysis rendered him uncon scious, so that when one of his daughters wont to prepare the morning meal she found. him In this precarious condition.
