EFoR THE PREss.l

Mr. EDITOR 80 The article headed Several
Ladies !" that appeared in your last issue, was
on Monday night last, brought before the
/" Young Mems Literary Society,"" after some
debate q committee was appointed to answer it.
In doing SO we would state that it is source
of satisfaction to us to know that there are
some (and those of the fair sex) that need not
to be told that the Young Mems Literary Soci-
ETY. Of Lambertville is still in existence We
had been laboring under the impression that, by
the community, we were lost sight OF, for when
we threw open our room one night each week.
and invited the public to participate in our pri-
veeges, with one or two exceptions, no one en-
braced the opportunity.
With regard to course of lectures through
the winter months, we would like to have them,
but we cannot without mourning considerable
expense, which the society at present cannot do,
and as we do not wish to charge an admission fee,
nor yet take up collection, the association has
hit upon the following plan - If the public of
Lambertville and New Hope desire us to get up
course of lectures, we want them to show that
desire by handing over as early as possible their
contributions towards defraying the expenses,
either to the Publisher of the Press, y or to
our worthy President, Mr.. Bennett or to the
Comittee The society assures the public that
such contributions shall be appropriated to that
purpose only.

A New Dodge.

Some days since, a young lady residing in
Blocker street called at store in Broadway
to make some purchases. After selecting a
quantity of trimmings she left, having given
directions that the articles should be sent home
A few days passed, and she called again. The
bill was given her. when she declined payment,
on the ground that the goods had never been
received The merchant instituted an inyesti-
cation, and soon obtained solution of the
problem.
The goods had been taken to the house in
Blocker street, as directed, and delivered to a
maid-servant, who upon being interrogated,
stated that as she was carrying them up stairs
the door bell was again rung, and she went to
answer the call She found a man at the door,
who told her that the goods had been taken there
by mistake, and demanded the parcel. Suppos-
ing that all was right, she gave it up and he
left
A similar trick had been played at several
places, and generally with success Two indi-
viduals attempting it recently at Williamsburg
excited the suspicious of the persons delivering
the budget, who traced them to the South Sew
enth street ferry, and there caused their arrest.

would not be well to make some arrangement
by which there would be more equality in en-
tefing articles for exhibition The price of
entrance if we remember correctly, was, on
fruit, one dollar. An individual having but a
single grape vine, and thinking that it would
compare well with others grown by other par
ties and also feeling DESTROYS to contribute his
share towards the prosperity OF the association,
must, if he carries his laudable wishes into exc
cution, pay as much as he who enters ten times
the number of pears, peaches, &c. In
such cases the entering fee is prohibitory, par
ticularly if the individual lives at some distance
from the place of exhibition. lie probably can
attend only one day, and his right to attend on
the other days is of no value to him whatever.
Whereas, if he lived near, and wished to attend
every day, it would be the cheapest way Of visit
ing the Fair, even if his articles were only sec
ond rate.
Again, the entering fee for best sample of
pears was one dollar, and the premium one dol
lar The pears might be worth four or six
shillings The entering fee for horse worth
from two to five hundred dollars was ten dollars,
but mere moiety, either Of the value Of the
animal or the premium offered Does not the
fruit growing interest of the County need more
fostering than any other Cannot there be a
better tariff of prices arranged and would not
the adjustment of the four free tickets put us
more on an equality

Distressing Occurrence.

On Friday last an Irish boatman, whose name
we have not learned, while in a state Of intoxi-
cation, was the means of having his wife burned
to death, which happened in the following man
ner: they were sitting near the furnace, when
he deliberately took red hot Goals and sprinkled
them on her, burning her breast, side, and ARM
in such horrible manner as to cause her death
in a few hours after On hearing Of the occur
renee, Esquire Mellen issued warrant for the
arrest Of the man, which was done, but he was
subsequently released, the woman having told
Mr. Mellen, a short time previous to her DEATH
that it was accidental. Considering the circum-
stance that they were both intoxicated at the
time it is one of the most heartrending occur
rences we have ever heard Of The man was
again arrested on Wednesday last and lodged
in jail to await his trial.

One Way to Buy a Shawl.

On Friday evening an elegantly dressed woman
entered Stewards, and asked to see some shaWls.
She made a selection, the price being five hun
dred dollars She rendered the clerk a two thou
sand dollar bill in payment He took it to the
cashier, who examined it carefully, and then, to
make himself perfectly sure, sent clerk out with
it to see an expert, and obtain his opinion
Meanwhile the lady became very indignant, and
resented the affront which she said had been put
upon her. She was not character to receive or
pass off bad currency, and would never come
again to Stewards to do any shopping. Presently
the messenger returned with the intelligence that
the bill was good. She caught it from him, de-
claring that she would not take the shawl
After little while, however, she seemed to re-
lent, and saying that she had been to large
number of establishments, and that the shawl was
the only one that had suited her. she remarked
that she would take it, adding her determination
not to expose herself again to similar affront.
The clerk was profuse in apologies as he did up
the article, and the two thousand dollar bill was
taken by the cashier and fifteen hundred dollars
promptly paid back to her, when, without bidding
good night, she took her leave The bill this
time proved to be counterfeit. She had paid
the clerk different one from that first exhib-

" Several Ladies' Again.

Our lady friends will observe in another col
umn, that their inquiry relative to having a
series of lectures here this winter, has been an
swered by committee of the Young Mems
Literary Society The society, it appears, are
very DESTROYS of indulging the public in the
matter OF lectures, but feeling very much in
want of the one thing needful, have decided to
leave it to them whether they shall have lectures
here this winter or not, or whether that public
takes interest enough in the society to sustain
it. The society it is evident, has long been lost
sight of by the public, no interest whatever
having been manifested in regard to it, and
when the doors Of the room were thrown omen
to the public for their instruction and amuse
ment, in o literary way, they did not even en-

ADVERTISEMENTS men, it is to
your interest as well as to our own, that you
should make known your calling; can you ex-
pect the people to patronize you if you do not
disclose your advantages over those of others
it is not expected that others viii build up q
reputation for you, but if yon start well in the
world and put on bold and defiant face, there
are scores who will help you onward in your
career, but if you rest quietly, with the appear
ance Of i'll luck stamped on your features you
viii find many who have dangerous propensity
of kicking you down little farther. This is an
age of progress, and you can only keep apace
with the rest of mankind by having your name
and business put before the world in con-
spicuous manner; then if you wish SO to do we
would advise you to advertise in the /" Lambert
uille Press y as we intend making it an extensive
advertising medium if you will only countenance
our endeavors. From those who are not business
and from those who are we would call particular
attention to our advertising columns, they were
put there to do you good, and therefore it is ex-
pccted that you will take heed, for a word to
the wise is sufficient

the general acceptation of the term. But they

may be bachelors which we take it is impossi-

Much Of our country's prosperity and great
ness is owing to the influence Of the Press
Peculiarly is this true of the A grcultural Press
though only yet in its infancy. True, some Of
them are nearly of age. Through the kindness
of the editor Of the Genesee Farmer, published
at Rochester,) we are in possession Of the last
five numbers of this valuable monthly, (only
fifty cents year,) from which we propose to
enrich our columns We notice that it has
nearly completed its nineteenth volume =
Through the kindness of friend we have the
loan Of the November number of the American
Agricuturist published in New York. 1t is a
mine of coed things and we would like to pub
fish the whole advertisements and all, did time
and space allow. 1t is about twice the size,
and costs twice as much as the Genesee Farmer
1t has well nigh completed its seventeenth vol
ume We can appreciate the perpleXities,
troubles, and discouragements of their earlier
years, and we rejoice in their present health,
prosperity, and usefulness. The Horticulturist,
also published in New York, is also one Of the

may be obtained. Then there is the I" Country
Gentleman" weekly, published at Albany, by
Luther Tucker & Son. We do not know a
great deal about it; bnt as we remember for
many years to have seen selections credited to
this Journal" and as it is "weekly,n
we can have no doubt Of its value or usefulness
They also publish monthly, called the Guilt
vator and moreover, most invaluable little
book of one hundred and thirty pages with as
many engrayings. The name thereof is The
Illustrated Annual Register of Rural Affairs, y
price twenty-five cents. We speak adysedly
of this, for we are the owner of one published
last year, being number four wish we had the
others. They ought to be in every farmhouse
and would not be out Of place in all Others
And by the way we saw in CHANGING over the
Farmer" that he also publishes q Rural
Annual" doubtless most valuable
We have thus, cursoriy to be sure, alluded
to some Of the leading agricultural papers of the
day. To the enterprising farmer these publica-
tions are absolutely necessary, if he would keep
pace with his compeers. Indeed their infor-
nation and their influence on the farmer and
his family, will repay the outlay an hundred
fold Five or ten dollars invested in this kind
Of stock will pay the heaviest kind Of dividends.
We conceive ourselves to belong to the COM
pany, and we pride ourselves in the connection,
and shall endeavor to make ourself worthy
thereof

FIRE AT BURLINGTON two O'Clock
last Tuesday morning fire was discovered in a
barn belonging to Caleb Gaskill, in the rear Of
his residence on Main Street. In consequence
Of the earness of the hour, the fire had got under
full Roadway before the alarm was given The
fire communicated to another barn Immediately
adjoining, and both were destroyed with the
entire contents, which consisted of ten tons of
hay, a large quantity of grain, three fine COWS
two belonging to Mr.. Gaskill, and the other to
John Parish-and noble and valuable family
horse. The loss is estimated at from $1,000 to
$4,000. The new barn onthe adjoining lot, be-
longing to the estate of Geo. Gaskill deceased,
was saved with great effort, as was also Mr.
GaskilFs carpenter shop This fire, as well as
that Of Thursday night last, when S. W. Earl's
barn was burned, was doubtless the work of an
incendiary.

Hunterdon County Fair.

The farmers Of our county, most certainly
achieved an honorable distinction at, and in.
their late fair Among the rest Of mankind, we
were there to see, and admire. It was the first
affair of the kind we ever graced with our pres

from one point to another, at each glance seeing
something that we thought would be hard to
beat; and except the 5eets, we never saw any
thing in the vegetable way, that could excel
those represented there. The vast potatoes, SC
smooth and fair, made an enduring impression
upon our memory. There was corn and wheat,

SUPPOSED MURDER IN MoRRIs COUNTY. =
The body Of John Dougherty an Irishman en-
ployed on the farm of Mr.. j. B. Bassinger at
Denville, was found lying dead near the depot
at Morris Plains on Wednesday morning Of last
week, under suspicious circumstances. Upon
examination, scratches were discovered on his
face and nose, and cash on the back part of
his head, and it was at first supposed he had
been lying or near the track, and been struck
by the engine of the freight train and killed.
A pool of blood was, however, subsequently
discovered by the side Of the public road, about
third Of a mile, from the depot, and drops of
blood were noticed every few feet between. An
examination Of the case was commenced, and it
was ascertained that deceased and companion
named John Coleman, also in the employ of
Bassinger, were in Morristown on election day,
that they started for home together, and suisse
quently parted. A suspicion Of murder has
therefore been raised, but it is generally believed
that the death of deceased was caused by inju-
ries from a fall while intoxicated.

FATAL EFFECTS OF INHAIING OF COFFEE =
On Wednesday last, a son of George Cushell, OF
Ware, Connecticut, four years old, went into
neighbor's house, and on the stove was a coffe-
pot he put his mouth to it and inhaled the
steam; it burned his mouth, and for few
hours he seemed to breathe like one having a
hard cold. In the evening he grew worse, and
died at three o'clock the same night. The affec-
ton of the child appeared just like the Group,
and seemed to disturb the child in the same
manner on the lungs.
