(Special Correspondence to the Press.) Matamoras, May 6th. Genial George MUlott has paid the debt, due from all mankind, and we are sorry to see him square up his aooonnts so soon, because one finds very few such men during a life time. His name was synonomous with good cheer, and he leaves pleasant re memberanoe of bis personality. Peace be to bis ashes. A very disgraceful affair (and one that deserves punishment at the hands of the law) took place on Sunday afternoon last In the roar of Frank Mueller's rum hole. A party of our Matamoras young men, I should have said a party of our Matamoras bums, after imbibing enough of Mueller's crazy medicine to produce a belligerent feeling repaired as above stated to his back yard and then wallowed in the mud and mire, and after gongiug and clawing each other for a season concluded that they sat isfied the demands of honor, etc. We won der whether our constable will swear when making his return to court that all such places have been conducted aocordlng to law. . Amos. LAYTON. (Special Correspondence to the Pkesb.) Layton, N. J., May 8. A movement Is on foot to beautify the Ccntreville Ceme tery, and build a new fence around the same. An iron pipe and stone post fence mukea a very durable and neat affair. Then with the grounds put in nioe order It Would look a much more desirable place to rise from on resurrection morn. Geo. W. Van Sickle's Hue residence at Bevaus came near being consumed by fire one day last week. The trouble came from chimney burning out. Prompt atten tion prevented serious damage. The west end of the turnpike through Culver's Gap, lying in Fraukford town ship, is being put iu first-class shape by that irrepressible worker, and advocate of good roads, W. D. Price. May his shadow never grow less. I have bueu uekod if the town committee, and road overseers in &oiidyUui were aii UutuL Not having una linn n" fl'll'T1 heard of a sod being turned, nor a stone thrown out to date, I should be Inclined to say, either dead or sleeping. Vile Is that man who who will utter un truths against the good name of woman, No language can fitly describe the despica ble character who will send such untruth ful matter through the malls, anonymous ly, to people whom he dares not attack in the open. Such Is the resort of cowards only, and those wholly destitute of every virtuous and moral principle. There Is unfortunately such a person In this com muulty. Considering that to such a per son the usual courtesies of society are not due, I shall gives that porson's name to any one Inquiring of your correspondent. Mrs. Geo. Skellcnger,of Halnesvllle,gave birth to triplets on Sunday morning last, two girls and one boy. One girl only liv ing it this date. Montross, the genial host at the Hotel Ccntreville, has finished the carpenter work, and will next week have the paint slingers doooratlng his hotel front. If the merry-go-round doesn't run away again Henry will have things looking as neat as any of them. The teachers' examination held In New ton on May 1st and 2nd was largely at tended, and Messrs. Hill, Cope and assist ants had their hands full. I have heard some teachers remark that the applicants for certificates wore always an awfully homely set. We are Inclined to think this Is an outrageous libel, at least if we are any judge. They were a fine looking lot of people at this examination, sure, and for fun, they soem to just brim over with It. MONTAGUE. (Special Correspondence to the Press.) Montague, May 4 It doesn't rain yet. Judson Kerr has traded Dexter for a trotter. Mrs. Julia Kerr has gone to Now ton and Miss Mary Kerr has returned home. Goo. D. West brook and wifo, of Port Jorvis, visited frionds down here to-day. Well our town committee has done it, opened the drain in the road near School House No. 1 to keep the water off the school grounds. The owner of the land says he will sue the town for damages, but slicing and getting a verdict aro two dif ferent things. The broken stone bridge has been repaired but the dear old slab bridge we still have with us. A refactory scholar has been expelled from School No. 8 by the teacher. By what I know of the case and I have watched the school for some time the teach er was perfectly right and will have the supjiort of the Board of Education. Mrs. S. Merrill Is able to be about. Mrs. Luclnda Ludwlg has suffered the past week with plurtsy but is now better, Whooping oough has invaded Montague. Oliver Smith has movod into the T. V, Cole house. Gua. Schutx Is going to move to the Van Auken house noar Mtllville. By the death of Rev. Gilbert Lane, the Montague Reformed Church loses a good pastor and the town a good cltlxen. John Cross, of Port Jorvis, Is a visitor at the Sprlngdale house. Juniterl The Delaware Vallev Rail- road to be In operation between Port Jor vis and Milford by July 1st. Now that's a good one on paper but In reality if you want to ride between the two places ou July 4th you will have to drive a rig of your own of take Flndlay's palace oar.

I seo a eorrpspoiulnnt in tlin Oii2tto myn the 1 armors I Inbnt Moiitafrrm lmpos to engnge the Ontrpville nierry-no-ronncl for the 4th of July. It is evi dent that this is a strategic move ment that if not prevented will drop the anticipated celebration in Mil ford with a thud like a cold pancake. It would he a great drawing card, and if tho celebration committee doesn't give it their prompt atten tion the Brick House farmers Club will snnfT their candle sure. The manager is having n great struggle to substitute something that will take the place of tho l'ort Jervis timber that was in it before. A)ns ! the merry-go-round ; misfortunes seem to go with it. Tho frantic ef forts of its manager to reconstruct it in time, has so drawn npon his gray matter that he has become subject to hallucinations ; the most sad of which is that ho thinks at times he is tho whole merry-go- round. The different parts of tho old machine do not seem inclined to come together right, and this is very trying, and seems to worry the manager. However with liberal doses of that " bottled lightning " no doubt he will make a very fair merry-go-round of himself. While performing, his solemn efforts to re volve around himself would be amusing if it was not that, ho ima gines the bar-room extends all over town, and as the stove will not move along he misses his pivot occasiona- ly. He has been recently taking lessons how to talk while the machine is in motion, but it has so far been a rediculous failure, tho grist it turns out being principnly nonsense. Alter the manager cul tivates his own gray matter a little more, or eats a sufficiency of salt cod, he may be able to transfer a little brains to the merry-go-round, after which we may expect better results. We would suggest an au tomatio brake as part of his equip ment before appearing before the Brick House Farmers Club. It seems the machine is pretty sure to got beyond control, and the conse quent runaway, and smash up, en tails a long and complicated job up- an the monager, which does not al ways tend to improve his equilibri um. It is accepted as a fact that landlord Montross doesn't care to have the merry-go-round to runa way again on his premises, and it is therefore concluded that any other landlord who desires it can secure the whole business very choap.man ager and all flxins, by taking thorn away and setting them up again and again. We are sorry to chroni cle that though the monager lias as siduously applied ice under his hat, and Jersey lightnieg under his nose since he moved, he still remains in the same critical condition as above mentioned. Hoping ho may so far improve as to be able to pick his teeth without standing on his head, berore this apiiears in print, 1 am abundantly yours. Critic. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Aluminum is rapidly growing in favor as being useful for many pur poses, and much lighter than other metals. Many handsome and use ful articles from a horso shoo to milk punch shakers aro made of it One of the latest is an electric lan tern for bicycles, which contains a reflector, small cells for the battery which will keep the light burning for seven hours at a cost of about two cents. Aluminum shells are al so made for mandolins, banjos and guitars, which are said to bo super ior to wooden.

He stepped off of a track on which an engine was making a fly ing switch in f rout of the cars which were cut loose from it and fourteen cars ran over his body. An unknown man while alighting from a coal train at the Erie depot in Port Jervis last Monday was caught dragged under the curs and killed. The car which passed over him was derailed. He was terribly mutilated and his head was severed from his body. The identity of the man killed at the Erie depot on Monday was ascertained later, and found to be Jesse Owens, by trade a carpenter.

A PHOSHORESCENT TEA. At Which the Ijullpn Were More Rxllsnt Thnn Ever. A phosphorescent 6 o'clock tea was recently given in Paris at 8 in the evening, at which no lights were used, the lights coming from the ceiling, carpets, chairs, piotures.tea enps and flowors. Tho lodies wore phosphorescent dresses, and their faces, shoulders and arms gleamed with light. M. Henry, of the Acad emic des Sciences, has invented a phosphorescent starch, which was used on tho occnsion,and which em ployed as face jiowder, " lends a moonlight radiance very becoming to some." No More Kettles of Beer. The constables of Lancaster City and county, by direction of the court. have notified all saloon-keepers that they must not hereafter sell beer to persons going for it with kettles or pitchers, under penalty of having licenses refused them next February if complaint is made against them. Planked Shad Alive. While lumbermen were taking a roft of timber down the Delaware river to Bordeutown Monday, and when at Well's Falls, near Lamhert ville, they were surprised to find two shod, weighing seven and five pounds, respectively, jumped on the raft from beneath the timber. The lumbermen quickly secured the planked shad and carried them to Bordentown. POLITICAL. NOTES. The Philadelphia Ledger which is fast becoming just as unreliable, as it formerly was reliable, says that the Monroe Republican leaders are so angry with the outcome of the re cent Congressional conference that they will not support Judge Kirk- patrick in his candidacy for Con gross with anything like unanimity. As in a good many things political lately the Ledger is wrong. The Monroe Republican leadors from Dr Walton down are heart and soul for Judge Kirkpotrick. They are too good Republicags to sulk in the tent or to allow an opportunity to defeat Democracy to go by unchallenged Monroe Republicans aro for Kirk- pa trick first, last and all the time. Lchighton Press. There have been 772 dolegotes choson to tho Republican National Convention, and 148 remains to be elected.

The Forest Lake Association In Lacka- wuxen is trimming up its fruit trees, the work being In charge of T. D. Shay. This association has been doing wonders in the way of Improvement on Its grounds in the past few years. The wldcrness has blossomed like a rose, fruit, shade and or namental trees have taken the place of scrub oaks, handsome buildings have arisen, with well-kept lawns surrounding them, and in summer the place presents scene of gayety and life, with would have amazed the natives a decade of years ago.

Sir Walter Scott's little known " Tales of My Landlord " was pub lished under the curious nom de plume, "Jedediah Cleishbotham Henry W. Longfellow once used a pen name. It was prefixed to his "History of Newbury," and he chose " Joshua Coffin for the pur. pose. J. Fenimore Cooper began to write under the pen name f "A Travelling Bachelor. " His travels and social condition probably in spired the selection. John Ruskin published his early writings under the pen name, " Graduate of Oxford," the selection being obviously influenced by his place of education. " Josh Billings " was as well known by his assumed name as Eli Perkins by his, and gonorally pass ed by no other. " Eli Perkins " is hardly known to the world by any other name. Even when introduced in society it was as Eli Perkins and not as M. D. London, his real name. Oliver Goldsmith published his ' Citizen of the World " under the name of a " Chinose Philosopher. " Much to his annoyance, the . pen name struck the fancy of the humor ists of his acquaintance, and for a time he was called nothing else. On one occasion a visitor to the club of which he was a habitue inquired of a gentleman in Goldsmith's hearing if the Goldsmith he had read so much about was really a Chinaman.
