There seems to be a prospect of a final adjustment of the long pending con troversy, between tbe village and the water company, relative to the amount which shall constitute a fair and reason able compensation for its water privilege. Our readers are aware that the parties in eontroversy have been unable to agree upon mat subject and that the hills for water furnished the village, for the last three years, remain unsettled, owing to the refusal of the>illage trustees to ac cept tbe rate established [by;-,the water company. Hence its bills have been al lowed to accumulate, pending an adjust ment of these controverted matters in the courts. As a means of effecting a settlement of this dispute, and establishing a permanent rate, an application was made before Judge Brown some time since for the ap pointment of a commission, whose duty it Shall be, to prescribe the terms on which water shall be furnished this)village. The application wss'duly considered and resulted in the appointment, as such Com missioners, of Roswell ;„0. Coleman of Goshen, Surrogate of Orange county, Hon, Augustus Henniston of Washlngton- ville, and Wm. H. Clark of Minisink, by order dated June SOth, 1888. The Commissioners are in town to-day, taking testimony which will enable them to intelligently execute the p-irposes of tbe commission. The work of this Commission will be to establish a permanent rate lor the town, which shall be fair for noth parties. The high character, reputation and intelligent of the gentlemen who compose it are sofflelcnt guarantee that the work will be well and thoroughly done and we have no doubt that when completed it will justice to both parties in controversy and give general satisfaction. The attorneys m this proceeding for the village are O. B, Ouddeback and JE. A. Brewster of Kewborgh. The water company is represented by L JB. Carr and O. P, Howell. TBOUBIJB ABOUT T B B FOST OFFXOB. Middletown’S new postmaster, Geo. K Thompson, who is likewise editor of the Argus, comes out in yesterday’s issue of that Journal with an extremely vigoreua denunciation of the Press, claiming that certain strictures on his management of the Post Office are on warranted and prompted a spirit of “ envy, malice and all uBoharitableness. ” The Press complaint ^ that Friday’s proceedings of tbe Board cf Supervisors did not reach that office as soon as it should and also that mail matter sent to it from a neighboring village was unreasonably delayed and sarcastically suggested that the nest time the “ sender had better come on foot and deliver it in person. ” By which Mr. Thompson thinks he can see an effort to impugn the honesty of his management in the Post Office. A LITTLE FOLKS’ FA IB . The “ Rays of Light ” is the title of a juvenile society of the Presbyterian church, composed of little folks. They held a fair in the basement of the Presby terian church, last night, at which all kinds of fancy work, made by their little fingers, was on sale. Supper was served, had the little people waited on the table. We are informed that the society is or ganised for the special purpose of paying the expenses of the education of one scholar In India.

Constable Leonard Tompkins and Proprie tor Van Wagner were arrested yesterday complaint of Gogarty’s son, who charged them with assault while arrest- mg the young man on the night in ques tion. The men were released on bail. Another civil damage suit for $10,000 just begun is that of Mary Roche against James Angus, hotel keeper of Washing- tonville, this county. Mrs. Roche is mother of Prank Roche, who, it isalleced got liquor at Angus’s hotel the evening he fell off an Erie railway coal train at VaU’s Gate Junction and died soon after- ward. Washingtonville is in Blooming Grove, long a no-license town. Angus was recently fined $50 tor selling liquor without a license, and besides tbe $10,000 suit he is defendant in 162 cases, whose penalties aggregate $8,100. These cover one year and a half, and the town officials are the plaintiffs. hyd ^ nea Z MJji* J u lia Sm ith o f New Terk to Mr, MacDonald o f Glen Spey. N xw Y obk , Dec. 16.—Mr. George G.

Anderson, tbe popular Erie brake- man, has resumed work at his old busi ness. He has charge of one of the milk oars on the Pine Bush branch. Olem met with a miafoctuiie about a year and a hall ago by having a bone In bis ankle broken in jumping on his train and has been able to work until now. He is thinking of making Middletown his home. Last night’s Gazette announced the death at Jersey City of Mrs. Frank Van- derbeck, a sister of Mrs. George Brodhead. This wasjan error. The deceased was Mrs. Isaac I. Vanderbeck.the mother <£ j Prank Vanderbeck,Sr.,and mother-in-law of the lady in question. Her death oc curred on Sunday last and the funeral on Wednesday. Some men succumb easily to misfortune but this is not the case with George flol- land who was recently discharged from the Erie shops. Mr. Holland didn’t sit down and cry over spilt milk, but seized a pick and shovel and went to work on the track now being constructed by the Monticello road on the old Fowler pro perty. Mr. Holland’s pluck is Indomitable. It is generally felt that the removal of this excellent machinist from the Erie shops was a mistake and that be should be re stored to hib old position.

Transfer of a Portion of th a t Township to HlRlilandB—The F roposition to tbe Balanec Into Three New Town ships Lost - Other B u siness of the G o ' hkn , Dec- 20— ^There was a full at tendance of Super-^isors at the morning roll call. The Important business of the day was the disposition of the Monroe boundary question, and the proposition to ereot three new towns out of the old town. It was the most exciting day of the ses sion, and the great interest taken in the matter by the residents and taxpayers of Monroe was shown in the large number of persons, who wete present from all parts of that town at the afternoon sea- The result of the deliberations of the Supervisors was the transfer of 8,780 acres from the eastern part of Monroe to the town of Highlands. The proposition to form the baiance of Monroe into three new towns was lost by one vote, it requiring a two-thirds vote of all the members to make the bill a law. The question was so fully discussed last Monday, and published in the papers next day, that it is unnecessaiy to go over practically the same ground again. There was a great deal of talk, both by members and parties interested, and parliamentary tactics were resorted by those skilled in the laws governing legislative bodies. At the morning session, after the min utes were read and approved, Mr. Knight by request presented resolutions from citizens «'f the town of Monroe, asking the Board to erect from said town three towns to be called Monroe, Tuxedo and Highland Mills respectfully, as per map filed wuh petitions, Refened to the Law Committea An invitation was read and accepted from the President of tbe New York State Convention of Superintendents of the Poor, asking the Board to send a committee to attend tbe next State Con vention at Plattsburgh, August 18th, 1888. Tbe chair appointed as such com mittee, Messrs. Rosesorance and Murray. Mr. Clark, chairman of Committee on Coroners’ Bills, reported that the -total amount of bills tor icquesta, the past year wasi $5,534.21, classified as follows: Coroners’ bills ......... . Jurors’ bills ............ Undertakers’bills. . Room rent for J uries Physicians services. Livery b ills ............ Bills for caring for ____ found drowned, etc.. . . 15 60 16 BO $6,722 a 85,634 a lu view of the great discrepancy in the charges for the same services in bill pre sented, where the fees are not fixed by law, the committee suggest that the Board fix stated prices for future guidance; and also recommended that in all cases the service bills of Coroners should be accom- paniied by a statement, showing all ser vices in connection with requests that are by his authority. The committee also reported some other hills, which were presented after the report had been signed. These were audited by the Board as re ported. Mr. Roberson, chairman of the Commit tee on Misoellaneous Bills, reported cor. reot itne bill of W. M. Murray for $150, for services as Committee on Public Build ings at Goshen. Draft ordered drawn. Mr. Ketcham offered the following, which was adopted : W heebas , Thelaw respecting the relief to be afforded to indigent soldiers, sailors and matines, and tbe famihes of those de- ceased, has been ame’-ded by Chapter 281, Laws of 1883, so that instead of being af- led by tbe several towns in their sep arate capacity, it is now to be afforded and provided'for for by a fund to be set apart discussion. The matter was fully debated by the members of the Board, and Hon. A. B. Hulse, Mr. Requa and other citi zens of Monroe and Highlands, and many questions were asked of and answered by the parties interested. The Law Committee then reported that the petitions and map accompanying, in (relation to dividing Monroe into three towns, was In proper form. The report was accepted. Mr. Knight introduced by request a bill providing for the erection of three towns from the territory of the town of Monroe. Head twice and referred to the Law Committee. Mr, Qoodsell of Monroe moved that the bill to alter the boundary lines between the towne of Highlands and Monroe be passed. Mr. Knight of Monroe moved as an amendment that action on it be postponed until January 7,1888, and that it be made a special order for half-past one o’clock that day. Lost. The bill was then passed by the follow ing vote: Ayes—Adams, Brown, Clark, Douglas, Goodsell, Hadden, Harding, Ketcham, Lozier, McKissook, Roberson, Rosencrance, D. S. Tuthill, R. 8. Tut- hill, Wade, Webb, Wood, 17; noM—Gra- bam, Knight, Murray, Wilkes, 4; not vot ing—the Chair. The Law Committee reported that while the time for the examination of the bill to erect three towns from the territory of the town of Monroe was somewhat limited, and the examination therefore necessarily hasty, yet to all appearances it was in proper legal form. Report ac cepted. Mr. Graham moved that the bill do not pass. Lost as follows: (requiring a two- thirds vote) Ayes—Clark, Graham, Good- sell, Harding Lozier, Murray, McKissock, Roberson, Rosencrance, R. S.

Mr. Wabb called up his resolution re lating to the filing of the bond by tbe banks in which tbe funds of the county are deposited, in compliance with the law. The Clerk was directed to call the attention of the County Treasurer to the matter. Mr., Douglas said tne officers of the bank used as the depository for the county’s funds were perfectly willing, and would cheerfully comply with the provisions of the law, and the members in discueslng the ^jueslion, distinctly stated that this adtion of the Beard was not intended to refleci on the County Treasurer or the bank, where he deposited the funds, but was to act in compliance with tbe law, which was mandatory.

We recently published an account of the very liberal offer of John A. Bost- wick of New York to the Baptist church of Ansoma, Conn., of which tbe Rev. W. A. McKinney, foftaerly of this village, is pastor. In connection with the same affair tbe Ausonia Sentinel says that when the Sun day school assembled after the morning service at which Mr. Bostwick’a offer had been announced, there was another sur prise. It was given by the Infant class. Two weeks ago the little ones, at the sug gestion of their teacher, agreed to do what they could for the church debt. At tbe end of tbe session the envelopes con taining their offerings were handed to the superintendent, F. M. Watrous. He be- gan to count up tbe contributions, and found in one envelope ten cents, in another two dollars, in another five, in another twenty, in anotner ten, and so it went on till tbe astonished superintendent hsd counted up one hundred dollars and som-’ eighty cents as the total offering of the little ones to the church debt, The won der was how it was all done and a wonder it still remains. MATTERS AND THINGS IN OUB EN TERPRISING SUBURB. The Bev. Mr. Smith Retires from Hl» Paitorate on Account of lU Health. Gnpid’s Arrows—Our Correspondent Throws Ont a Timely Hint. The currying shop with its additional story and a half, just completed, and the new coat of paint, just added, is now an imposing looking structure, and an adorn ment to our village. Miss Hattie Conine of Sag Harbor, L. I.,is visiting Miss Hattie Raymond of this village. The Rev. Mr. Smith, who is pastor of the evangelical congregation at this point, will 1 understand resign his pastorate here, owing to sudden and violent attacks of headache, to which he has been subject for some time, and which of late have be come more frequent and violent, until at last his physician has ordered rest and quiet, which necessitates bis resignation. Mr. Smith and his wife during their stay hero have drawn into the fold of the church, numerous young people, and by his constant efforts has done much for the spiritual welfare of our.village; while outside of tbe church be has made hosts of friends who will regret his departure. The tannery was working for a few days at three quarter time, but is again running on full time. Again “ Cupid” has oeen getting in his fine work in our midst and the result will be, another of Sparrowbush’s fairest damsels being led to the hymeneal altar, a full account of which I hope to give later Jacob Lorean, who for some time has been the proprietor of a flourishing milk route, has sold out the same to Mr. Ed- ward Goble, who will hereafter look after the same personally. Christmas is coming on and the attend ance of the various Sunday schools, as in days of yore, is on the increase. Now, if we can only have some good skating the young people will be happy. Society m Sparrowbush is fast becom ing a thing of the past. Your correspond ent can remember the tune when this season of the year was looked forward to by the young people o t our village with eager anticipation, because of the parties, entertainments and social gatherings that accompanied it. Why don’t those who have the accomplishments, time and talents take hold and infuse new life and vigor into that sort of social entertain ment, that our village was once proud to boast of. It would be a boon to our iso lated little village, and our young people could mingle together and good feeling prevail instead of everybody regarding bis or her neighbor with suspicion. Wake up, young people, and some one come to the front and start the ball rolling. It will have tendency to benefit us morally as well as socially. XJincHows. TO-MORROW NIGHT. The holiday week of amusements will be fitly ushered in on Saturday night by a sterling dramatic company, who will present at the Opera House a rollicking comedy farce with the taking title of “ Our Picnic.\ This organixation has in the last few weeks met with flattering success and their tour has thus far this season been a triumphal progress. The names moet prominent In the company in clude a number of favorite and well known players and the play itself is a merr^ sort of a frolic quite appropriate in these days of good cheer and festivity.

It appears that the farmers of Sullivan county can’t resist the temptation of watering'theii' milk. It has been sus pected for some time that the milk shipped from Liberty was not exactly honest Last Friday two state dairy experts, Otis 0. Griffis of Hancock, and J. R. Wheeler of Norwich, on their way home from New York on the Ontario and Western Night Express, No. 6, stopped off at Liberty. In t le mommg bright and early they visited the Liberty creamery and welcomed with all the urbanity of upright judges, the procession of farmers with loaded milk wagons. When the cans were taken from the wagons and given into the charge of tbe railway, the said inspectors coolly re moved theii' tops and sampled the milk with the unerring lactometer, which, in several instances showed that the contents of many of the cans weye not without an earily perceptible quamlty of water. Sheriff Winner says there has not been BO much simon-pure, unconge^ed excite ment there in yeays. The remarkable thing about the matter is that after such a quaking there should not be the slightest squeak in the newspapers of that vicinity about it.

Struck by tbe Enj^lne of Train 30 W h ile Crossing tbe Track and Instantly K illed—other Railroad Item s o f Interest. John Doran, a well known young man of this village, who for the past year has been employed as a fireman on the East ern division of the Erie, met with a sad death about seven o’clock last evening, at Penn Horn, a station on the lower end of the division. From what we can learn it appears that Doran, who had been firing the engine of a west bound freight train, had for some purpose stepped from his engine across the tracks, and was recrossing the east bound track returning to the engine when the was struck and killed by the engine of train 30, which leaves this village at 414 p. m. Those who saw the accident say that the passenger train was running at a very high rate of speed when it happened, and that his body was thrown with much violence against the side of a caboose which was standing some distance away. The train men who saw the accident, ran quickly to jhis assistance and. found him iyiag on the track dead. His death must have been instantaneous. While a resident of this village he hoarded at Donahue,s hotel on King street. He was about 23 years of age and was a general favorite among the railroad men. He was bom at Guymard and resided there until his removal to this village some what over a year ago. His parents still re side there. ^He has two brothers, railroad ing on the Eastern division and two sisters residents ot this village. Michaei Doran, yardmasier in the O. & W. yard at Mid dletown, also is a brother of the deceased. ** Deceased was a member of Division No. 8, A. O. H. of this village.

Tuesday, when conductor Al. Corwin's milk train on the N. Y., S. and W. rail road was approaching the station at New Foundland, a tree standing a short dis tance from the track was blown over by the wind and fell upon the train, crushing in the hood of the baggage car and raking off the chimney and ventilators. A large limb also struck the coach and punched a hole through the roof and knocked oft the chimney and ventilators.
