City. had been the nurse ofall his chill
dren and had from its birth the care 'oi
an interesting infant, to which she had
become devotedly attached. On Sun
day her beloved protege died. and as socn

passed away, the faithful nurse sank IN
to Inconsistencies, and thirty hours
thereafter expired, without other ap.
parent cause than the grief that had
overpowered her.

the affections that SO prominently

On Monday next special election will
be held for the choice Of . Justice Of the
Peace. The conduct Of several who
have. through the neglect of our citizens,
slid into the important Office Of Justice,
has been reproach to the character Of
the town. Recent events have proven
the need and Importance Of having judi
!. ,cieus. capable, honest and independent
men a. Justices Of the Peace. The cleo
4 ton Of . Justice may appear small
matter, to which 4 large portion Of our
business men will think it is not worth
: their while to sacrifice an hour Of their
Sstime on business day; but it is mat
ter. a. We have seen, that may involve
the peace and quiet of tho town, the Sc
5 eurity Of property and the reputation Of
The city. Every citizen should take q
part in it as serious duty. II . good
and intelligent man could be elected. in
whose judgment and integrity the peo-
pie would have entire confidence, he
would secure such portion Of the bust.
+ ness Is would make the position lucra.
Cstive one, and enable him to give his
whole attention 10 its duties. Mr.. Jas
ST. Walker. We learn, is candidate. He
has served the city as Justice for several
- terms in former years. and filled the Office
7 in manner. we believe, to command the
respect and confidence Of all parties. We
hope that he, or some other good man,
will be selected az a candidate, and
elected by vote that will give him some
moral force in the execution Of his du
ties, as well as secure him commission
=. from the Governor. The following com.
munication is from conservative Dem
ocrat. who feels . deep interest in the
reputation Of the olty:
To THE VOTERS OF PIGEos TOWNSHIP:
On Monday next you will be called
upon to elect a Magistrate in the place o.
Mr.. Carter and this election will prove
la whether our people are lost to all seLse
Of propriety and self-respect or not. The
/, Office IN question is one Of high RESPONSE.
8 bility, and should be filled by man who
. is capable Of approaching that responsibility
: as we'll as understanding the common dutie.
and details of the Office. For many
years James T. Walker was Justice o.
q the Peace here, and although his admin
. -istration was not always unexceptiona
BILE, yet, on the whole. the public was
satisfied. HIS fitness for the Office is no.
questionable, and his attention to its
. duties while incumbent is proverbial
Mr.. Walker is again before the people
