to make room for a new and enlarged struc
ture The Burlington Newspaper says
that, in Revolutionary times, this building was
known as the Blue Anchor Tavern, and has
sheltered beneath it's roof tree the patriots Of
the Revolution, and their enemies. Washing
ton, Knox, Green, Cadwallader, Read, Dick
inson, Maxwell, all have gathered around its
we'll filed board, and reposed within its cham
bers while Count Donop, Rawle, who fell at
Trenton, and K%nyphausen, have rested within
it for a short space Having served its gen.
Grafton it has passed away T; and upon its site
Mr. Beldin is about to erect a handsome and
substantial Hotel, which in size, comfort and
convenience will equal any one in the State.

Effects of the Late Frost.

tits ascertained, says the New York Tri-
bune, that the frost which Wis ted us about a
week ago has had the effect of killing all the
peach and early strawberry blossoms in Mon
month County, N. j, A gentleman who is
interested in an orchard Of $500 trees, loca-
ted near Keyport, from which, prior to the
late frost, it was confidently expected to gath
er 81, 200 worth of peaches during the ensuing
season, states that $40 cannot now possibly be
realized from the entire yield. And an expe-
rieneed cultivator Of strawberries for this mar
ket, also asserts that bis early crop has been
completely blasted by the frost, bnt thinks
that those which ripen latter in the season may
yet turn out as well as usual.
As fer as we can learn, present appearances
indicate a large crop of apples in this county

A Boy HANGING HINsELF.-In Middlesex,
Yates county, on Wednesday afternoon, John
r. Francisco. aged about is years went out
into a shed attached to his fathers barn, and
suspended himself by the neck with a rope
He told some little. children who were with
him to run into the house, as he was going to
hang himself, and from this it is supposed he
did not intend to commit suicide, but expected
some one would come and release him. He
was a very bright, active, and intelligent boy,
and for one so young was a perfect prodigy as
to the amount Of labor he performed, and the
really valuable assistance he was constantly
rendering his parents. The father was nearly
frantic with grief, on finding his son dead, aud
declared repeatedly that he would not long
survive him, his family kept watch over him to
see that he did not also put an end to his life

PROGRESS OF THE REVIVAL.

New York TATE-Accounts are still com
ing in of large numbers of conversions all over
the State, and day prayer meetings are held

In very larget portion of the churches
throughout the State there have been from
twenty to one hundred conversions.
New ENGLAND There have been nearly
300 conversions within two months in Benning-
ton, vt. The attendance on the meetings in
Boston is reported to be decidedly falling off.
A pastor in Lawrence, Mass, has received iuto
his church, within eight months, 172 by letter
and experience, and 1913 by baptism. On Sun
day 286 persons were admitted to the various
Churches in New Bedford, and lab in Lowell
In Holeston, 10 were received into one church
so of whom were heads of families. There
have been aboutl00 conversions in Springfield
The Republican says that there is an encour
aging interest in the County Jail; on Sunday

prayer. Eighty one were added to the Con
|gregational Churches of Providence on Sunday

y interesting, In Chicago twenty were bar
tized on the last Sunday in April. The IN

Confession

A sailor recently died in Texas, and on his
death bed confessed that he was one of the
crew who murdered Mrs. Aston, of South
Carolina forty yenrs ago. Mrs. Aston was
the daughter of Aaron Burr. She sailed from
Charleston for New York in a brig, and on
the trip the crew nutinied, and murdered all
the officers and passengers, Mrs. Aston being
the last one to walk the plank. The sailor re-
membered her look Of despair, and died in the
greatest agony of mind.

ANOTHER F1GHr IN KANsAs.-There has
been another bloody fight in Kansas, in the
vicinity of Fort Scott. The Chicago Tribune
has the details. and gives the point as fol-
lows:
4 Di@hv-L:+l, of Fort Scott, a member
of the Felon Convention and er o6Tcio U. S.
Marshal, made q foray with a company of 0.
S. troops on a band of fifteen or twenty Free
State men. The latter fed several miles-all
being on horseback-bdt finally halted aud
ordered their pursuers to halt. Marshal Lit
tie ordering his automatons to go ahead, the
Free State men fired and killed one man,
and wounded several others, Little and Co.
then broke up in disorder and made a forced
march to Fort Scott"

Fourth of July.

A number of our citizens are about taking
measures to celebrate the approaching anniver
sary of our National Independence. We are
much gratifed to see this move, as it has been
some years since we have celebrated the fourth
of July. and we think that our citizens should
exhibit patriotism enough to celebrate it once
in about eight years. There is no more fitting
plrce in the County, or in the State for a cele-
bration of the Fourth of Jnly, than the battle
ground of Monmouth.

A NOBLE ANSWER "A Christian gentleman
moved into a City not a hundred miles from
New Brunswick, and concluded to connect
himself with o church of a similar but differ
INSTRUMENTATION from his own. When asked
rh3 he did so, he replied, " Because ii is a
C4krcd an need Of mare strength, and I can be
IF more serricc and do more good there" If
professors, instead of seeking out the strongest
and most popular churches, as is too generally
the case, were aetuated by the catholic and
christian spirit OF this gentleman, how would
religion prosper and advance church extern
sion.
