David Thompson.

The whole community, says the Bridgeton
Chronicle, was thrown into gloom and sadness
on Wednesday morning last, by the announce
ment of the unexpected death of Mr.. Thompson,
the Principal of the West Jersey Academy. He
had been sick for a week past, but his sickness
was not regarded as of serious character. Mr.
Thompson was young man, and has had the
charge of the West Jersey Academy for upwards
of two years. He was good scholar, and an
upright Christian gentleman. His career as an
educator of youth, was short but brilliant. The
institution over which he presided, was fast ri
sing in public favor, and if his life had been
spared, we have no doubt but that in a very few
years, its reputation already rapidly extending,
would have been commensurate with the whole
country. The loss of such man is public
loss; and the memory of his gentle, truthful, up
right character, will long be fragrant in this
whole community.

Escape of DIR. Wickham.

The Port Jervis Union says: Information has
transpired regarding the escape ofDr. Wickham,
from source likely to be authentic. After the.
Doctors discharge from custody here he went to
his fathers residence in Greenville. The next
day friend started with him in buggy, undis-
guised and in his ordinary costume, for Jersey
City. BE reached New York without detection
or hindrance and remained week in the city.
In the meantime the disclosures resulting from
the investigation at Montague and Gov New
ellis proclamation of reward for his arrest, salts
fed his friends that there was no safety for his
neck in this country Accordingly near rela-
tive of his went to the city and hurried him on
board vessel just weighing anchor for foreign
mort. The destination of the vessel has not
transpired doubtless however, he has escaped
into exile in some foreign land, beyond the reach
of mems justice.

The buildings now being erected on Union

Blackwell and Mr.. Abram Cray, add very much
to the business appearance of that part of the
town. The buildings are three stories high,
rough cast and finished with heavy wooden
cornic. Six stores will front on Union St., and
one on Church ST., most of them having already
been leased to different parties. The upper story
of the corner building will be used as a Public

Sunday School Pic Mic.

On Friday last, the teachers, scholars, and
others connected with the Presbyterian Sunday
School, accompanied by numerous friends, took
an excursion to Larison's Wood, about 3 miles
below this place The party, numbering about
49, left this place about 9, A. M, and proceeded
in boat down the canal. returning in the same
way about 6, P. NJ. The day was fine, with
particularly bracing atmosphere. But one acct
dent happened to mar the pleasures of the day,
which was caused by the breaking OF grape
vine swing, whereby a lad, son of Mr. Cornelius
Barber, had his face somewhat bruised by it.

party, four in number, were swinging at the time
across the mouth of an old copper mine, and all
were precipitated a distance of ten feet The

long time has been dedicated to the stalking OF
white robed individuals with uneasy minds, but

In the times of stage coaching, when stage coach
drivers thought it no sin to look in the glass;"
numbering vehicle made its daily trip between
this place and Trenton. One dark stormy,
wintry night said vehicle was dragging its weary
way through Larison's Wood, when the driver,
who in the absence of company had been imbib-
ing some hot punches to keep up his spirits, was
awaked by the stopping of the horses, and the
appearance of a monster of hidious proportions,
and long caudal appendage, clothed in grave
habiliaments, which demanded of him all his
earthly possessions. The driver not being cursed
with an over abundant amount of cash, paid ov-

Northern Lights.

Or Sunday night our citizens were favored
with a most splendid exhibition of Aurora Bore
ais. The diffusive light was first visible about
eight o'clock, from which time until ten the eff
feet was most grand. From the zenith to the
horizon were blended in beautiful contrast, the
most effective colors, sometimes in streaks, the
peculiar characteristic of this wonderful phenom-
ena, at other times clearly defined pillars of red
and white, contrasted with blue, the whole hea-
vens presenting an appearance seldom before
witnessed. The cause of this beautiful display
in the heavens, has been the subject of much
speculation, but as yet no definite conclusion
has been arrived at. tits generally conceded to
be the prognosticator of cold weather.

Fire in New Hope.

About four O'Clock on Sunday morning last
a fire broke out in small tenement in New
Hope, near Lambert's Store, owned and occu-
pied by colored family named Peeker. The
flames communicated to stable adjoining, owned
and occupied by Michael Dowd, which together
with the house were entirely destroyed. Most
of the effects of the colored family, consisting of
dog, lot of watermelons, and wearing appa-
raj, were saved Mr. Dowd lost wagon which
was standing in the stable The New Hope en-
CINE was on the spot and through its efficient
instrumentality the buildings in the vicinity of
the fire were kept unframed. The origination
of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.

of the neatest modes of serving up fine, fresh
watermelon, is as follows: Plug hole in the

or some claret, place it on ice for two hours, so
that the wine may not escape therefrom Next
