There was a very lively time ia the Fifth Ward last night, upon the occasion ot the elec- tion of officers of the club for the ensuing year. The meeting was held in the Ebenezer Church, corner Fourth and D streets, and was one of the largest ever held in the ward, the church being crowded and the aisles packed betore the meet- ing opened. A large number of sorporation o and men from the other wards wera noticeable. Among them were Tom. Bowie, of the Fourth Ward; William Bowen, of the Fourth Ward; Sidney McFarland, Clerk’ Center Mar- ket, and George Smith, foreman 01° the Hook and Ladder Company, with Hook snd Ladder members. It soon became evident that there was to be a warm contest, the issue being be- tween the Bowen and anti-Bowen Repubileans. The ———s was called to order by the Presi- dent, C. H. Holden. with J. W. McKnight as . The President announced that the meeting was called as one of all the Republi- cans of the ward to elect officers of the cleb for the ens: year, and that by the terms o* the resolution by which the meeting was callea the lection of oftcers.was the business in or- tT. He was, therefore, ready to receive now i- nations for the presi of the clu. immediately the two factions set up deafen- ‘tng shouts of’ « Holden,” “ McK: 0” * Me- Knight,” “ Holden,” tills perfect Babel was the result. Being a nominee, Mr. Holden called J. S. Gatchell to the chair, who vigorously thumped with his hickory upon the table, aad shouted “Order” at the top of his voice. Failing in this, he mounted the chair, and ther the table, stili thumping, and shouting “+ Order, gentlemen!” Col. Waller mounted a beneh in the center of the church and managed to be heard in an ap- peal for order, but was little heeded. Mean- ime ‘a scrimmage” broke out just under the pulpit, and there was a rush out of the door. and = & number sought an e the abe into the pulpit, had a commanding view of the situation. ‘he combatants were #> crowded that a free fight was impossible, and Lieut. Aus- tin and one of his men, after sonie trouble, ‘auieted the would-be beligerents. Finding it impossible to divide the house, owing fo the density of the crowd, it was de- cided that all should retire from the church, and the vote.be taken by tellers as they re-en- tered. ‘The Chair appointed A.M. Sprague and Ho- ratio Maryman tellers and Dr. T. jeKnight, and Joseph A.B. Tinney tellers, with Sidney Berbert sec retary, tor Holden. The crowd then retired, and the tellers toek station at the door. ‘In about half an hour the church was again packed, and the tellers ronounted the vote as follows: For C. H. lolden, (the votes of the anti-Bowen men being cast for size.) 101, Hor J. W. McKnight, (who was voted for by the Bowen méi,) 191." ahs an nouncement was the si waving of hats, Sec. c gratulate Mr. Holden was W. H. Grown, jr who had but Just been laboring against him. Mr. Meknight followed Brown's example, and moved that the nomination be made ansnimous. A. B. Tinney was then elected Vice President by acclamation. Uyon the election of Secretary there @as a good deal of red contention, but after & vain attempt at division, Mr. Tinney put the motion again, and Mr. McKnight was declared elected over Sidney Herbert. Samuel H. Wil- liams was declared elected Treasuicr, and the club adjourned.

To Sze Down a WELL.—The New Hampshire Journal of Agriculture suggests an excelient plan for exploring the bottom of a well: “It is not generally known how easy a matter it is to examine the bottom of a well, cistern, or pond of water by the use of a common mirror. When the sun is shining ed ce hold a mirror so that the reflected rays of light will fall into the water. A spot will be seen at the bottom, so light as to show the smallest object plainly. By this means we bave bottoms of wells 50 feet deep, when half full or more of water. The smalles? straw or other small object can be perfectly seen from the surface. In the same way one can examine the bottom of ponds and rivers, if the water be somewhat clear, by winds of rapid motion. If " be under cover, or shaded by buildings, so that the sunlight will not fall near the opening, it is only necessary to employ two mirrors, one to reflect the light to the opening, another to send it down perpendicularly into the water. Light may be thrown titty or a hundred yards to the preckee 7 desired, and then re- Hected downward. We have used the mirror with success to reflect the light around a ficld to a shaded spot, and to carry it from a south window through two fooms, and then into a cis- tern under the north side of the house.” A Dizzy Rivg mm an Evevartor. fore last @ couple of individuals, 0 stopping at the Astor House, indulged in a heavy spree.
