Tho political pot in Perth Amboy ii Retting near tho boiling point. Th i gaino is fast anil it promises somo in teresting developments. Tho wood are. fell of wonhl-lio candidates to i the Board of Water Cominissioncrs rnongh, it is said, to fill three or fon hoards and then each alderman ha ids own slate which he is nnxious ti get through and [theJMayor has hi too, so the report goes. The caucu previous to tho council meetiui L Thursday night promises to be a lived; I ono to say the least, unless severa p concessions are made in the monntime As tho annoiutmonts are to be madi at tho last meeting when the Demo crats will have absolute control, it ii k evident the slate iwis got to meet will ft tho Mayor’s auu^Rl, for any attemp I to passtbee^^^^Bo'iits over his dis PgjJ9fc^H(^^^^^voaliniavo to be made be fore a board in which there are tlirei Ropnblioans. Ab this would not giv< the Democrats the necessary majority the Water Commission would doubt less bo held up unless the Democrati compromised and allowed a miiiorit; representation on tho board. As thii is what thev want to avoid, it wouli seem that the Mayor holds the big eui of the rope. How fur ho will attemp to ubo this power remains to be seen. It is said that some would about as soon see a minority representation ir the commission and have their man one of the majority than to have their candidate shnt ont altogether. As a gentle reminder to some of the patriotic societies in this city, it might ho noted that School No. 1 is sadly in need of a (lag, judging from the olio seon Hying from the staff on that building when school iB in session. It is faded, torn ami weather henten and altogether looks much the worse for wear. It would seem that some organization would see to it thnt a banner worthy the cause for which it stands should roplace this old one. Leap year just came aronml at the proper time for those who like n vaca tion on holidays. This year a great majority of the holidays came on Sat urday, and, following the natural course of events, they would all come on Sunday, next year. This is not so, however, for tnov all leap over Sun day and fall on n Monday. The first of tlieso is February 22. If Church festivals and entertain ments have anything to do with it, this is indeed a veiy happv Christmas time. Between the churches, the Salvation Army, and all the societies, there is not a child in the city but who could have a part in the celebrn | tion. DEFIED THE SOLDIERS.

WINSTED, Conn., Dec. 21). When Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott of Coleman Station. N. Y., were struck and instant ly killed by a train at that place on the ltlth lust, a purse belonging to Mrs. Scott could not be found. A few days ago a telegram was received slating that an engine wiper In New York city had found the missing purse wedged in the pilot of the locomotive. Mabel, aged eight, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Scott, received on Christmas day a coat, doll and book which her mother had select ed for her at a store in Millerton, N.

Lakewood's Wooded Drives. 1 lie drive, first among Laliowoo l’s sj e‘ ci.il diveislons, still securely holds the favor of the great majority of reso iters, and has probably a ivei tised the charm of the place more ill’ectively than any other single agency. Among the first of llie plans for de velopment inaugurated years ago by the C )rj oration owning the L u el House was the well planned cotisriucilon of many ini'cs of sinoolh, hard gravel load, raoia Miig from the village in all directions Tl,o Lane Drive, peiliaps the most popu lar becaisi of its g limps of water through the foli g , is but one of a long list ot drives which are favored both by driving and riding parties, w bile well-kept walks, punctuated by an occasional way side bench, are aUo popular at ad times. The laying out ol these drives and walk has done the artist o taste. They wind in easy curves among the trees over Rlightly rolling country, aid though par ing ihrough pine forests at all times, there is a variety and change of view at every bend in the road, and no form oi rest is more perfect than to lounge in the easy cushions with eyes t> view the pass iug change of s one, and ears to bear the ring of hoofs on the hard roadbed. In spiiug, flowers fill the air with fra grance, and the birds add life and melody to the hour. Hero and there you pass groups of children, with there nurses, bui ding there forts of moss or waist deep in rustling leaves, curiously watced by bright-eyed fcquinels busy with the.i stores of nuts or frisking fiuai branch to branch. What winder that the woodland drive p a daily delight, and t hat it is b.vored not only by carriages but by riding jur t,ies auJ cyclists as well.
