JOSEPH O. JOHNSON The Houses then went
into the election of Judges and County Com

ic this winter, need not inform you which

adjourned, having done pretty hard days
work
The above, think, is fair representation
of this weeks Legislative proceedings. There
is nothing new about town; but should think
if slippery streets are "old things" here, then
there is plenty of old" The Hotels have
been fall this week. PErER's," SAM KS, /"
Mai CuNNxGHAM's, L. S. SUrPHIN's, and Ell
JAZZ NOUNS, are doing what is generally term
ed smashing business" If any of your
friends should ask you where they can get
good oysters when they come to Trenton, tell
them BAMFoRD is about | mean the one who
keeps in Green St, opposite the Market. DULY
think of eating a dozen of his fine frozen oys-
tiers, each one as big as big oyster, and it
twill make vour mouth water"
Seighing is good yet, but it is thawing very
fast, and will soon spoil the fun of all snow
lovers. We had little snow last evening.
The principal fuss the coming week will be
the Governors nominations for Clerk in Chan
Gerry aud Secretary of State. l suppose Old
Monmouth will not be as fully represented
here the coming week, the Matawan Bridge
being disposed Of l think | shall one Of these
days down and get nequa inted with some
of the Monmouth people, for ! must say they
are held in high esteem up here. Mr.. BARRI-
CLIO, from your district, is highly spoken of as
a man and representative; but why should |
"pick" one out-aU the members of Mon
mouth are considered A, No men,
/ have, Mr.. Editor, written you pretty
long letter, and will close, promising to keep
you posted up in the most important matters
which go on around this town.
Yours, truly,
MERCER.
