During the whole of she he bore his part wIh unabated ariOr, often being as the same time member of the convention of his native state and member of con gress; a double duty, which required great energy and industry sO perform but 90 ably dd he discharge his duy, that both bodies satisfied with hs atten tons each.

 NarosO Escape-On Saturday afternoon last. as Mr. Elisha Eotchkiss Jr. with loaded wagon and four horses. was passing FulIer's Bridge Farm ing,on River, between Burlington and Pennington, of the iimbers gave way, and he with his load precipiiated into ihe stream. The a from the bridge to the about 20 feet and the water 10 feel deep. One ofhs horses drowned before he could be rescued, Mr. H. considerably hurt, and his load, consisting of about 100 clocks in boxes, somewhat n- jured. The town will haze heavy bill of expense to pay.
 1ravsiiing.-Every traveller can hear testimony to the justuces of the remarks tn the following article from the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser. We have long been of opinion that the travelling public should dsconntenance these spongug propcnsiiies owaiters and porters.
 "In every steamboat, and at every public house, to be show bills hung up iR frames, informing where various articles of merchandxe acc0mmOda- ti0n may be obtained. Let similar ones be provided for each boat and house, apprsiag the stranger, that such and such charges only should be demanded by he porters or carrying luggage, and that the walters forbidden t0 ask money Of the guests For exam pDe-Sometmes before boat arrives ai her place of uestUauOu you aF0 sMpOttuueu ny unu uO1en OS more of hungry hounds with the quesion-a any bag gage take Up, sir w porter will collect six eight ten trunks upon his wheebarrow. destined to vari parts of the city; you must either follow him thTo' his rounds trust tO his honesy for every trunk parcel 25 cents demanded, and if you demur you liable to be insulted Thus porter will collect from $1 50 to g 50 for about hours york; and this for day in the week, but for every ay queNiy their situations must he very lucrative, the captains and landlords get aIer services granousy Take the of Philadelphia. Would it not be bct- ter that one porter should be allotted to public house, and another A second, &c. inaiead of each porter collecting all he get?

 There is another petty grievance, which, howeter, is, double price for cleansing boots and shoes sha- wing, and Cor articles kept board steam boats-it the articles pay dearly for the privilege of attending customers, the proprieto ought to have the good sense 10 reduce the rent On consideration. speak my own feelingas and doubiess the feengs of f,ouA e5 for my passage from one place to another, were certan that would be ihe of the demands upon my purse, than would pay $4 lor the same convey ance, and be imporiuned by dozen porers or wait- CTS and would rather walk half mile iB thunder shower, 10 get shaved for 6 IA ceais, the common into adjoining room, for which should be charg- cd l2 Ia cents.
