NJ BLoNDIN's LAST WALK-Ye sterday,
Blondin walked his rope at Niagara for the last
time, in the presence of an immense multitude of
people. About two thousand Buffalogians were
present, besides some ten or fifteen thousand per-
sons from other places. Blondin walked the
rope from the American to the Canada back
wards, and when near the centre of the river,
waited until the steamer Maid of the Mist !"
came beneath, bringing Travis, the great
shooter. Blondin held his hat at arms length,
and Travis, standing on the steamer, fired a
pistol ball through it. The hat was lowered to
the boat that Travis might see what he had
done. Travis was satisfied; and returned the
hat to Blondin, who went on his way. Return
ing from the Canada side, Blondin pushed a
wheelbarrow across. The wheel had grooyed
rim to fit the rope, and the handles of the vehicle
were suspended by cord around his neck. He
carried his balancing pole with him while pushing
the barrow.
This was to be the last walk at Niagara
Blondin left for Cincinnati this morning, but
will return to the Falls next week to- remove His
rope At that time he will come to- this city, to
see what he can do about suspending rope over
the Gehesee Falls.-Bufa1o Advertiser, 18th.

Fire.

On the evening of the 18th ult., fire occur
red on the farm owned by the Messrs. Taylor,
of High Bridge, ~ j., and for many years oc-
cupied by Jesse Adams, near Allamuchy A
little before sunset, smoke and famewere seen to
rise from barrack containing straw; the fire
soon communicated to the large and substantial
barn. which with the COW sheds on each end Of
the barn, and four barracks not far off, was to-
folly consumed. Two horses in the barn were
removed, but nothing else could be taken out
A large body of citizens assembled and by well
directed efforts, aided by a favoring wind, saved
the dwelling and wagon house from destruction
The loss of Mr.. Adams was about $3.50 which
is covered by insurance in the Hardwick Com
pany The barn was not insured. Mr.. ). Y.
Runion lost about $500. His policy in the Sus-
sex Mutual had just expired, and his neighbors
by liberal subscriptions have in good degree IN
Identified his loss Mr.. r. is an estimable man,
in moderate circumstances and the aid extended
to him in his misfortune, is honorable to the
contributors and richly deserved by the worthy
recipient No sure origin Of the fire is yet
known.-SusseG Register.

Killed by Lightning.

We have received the following particulars
concerning the death of Mr. Jacob Shaffer, near
Milford, by lightning during the awful thunder
storm which ragged so furiously on Wednesday
night of last week. He had been at work du-
ring the day on his farm, and was combing his
hair in the kitchen, preparatory to his taking
his evening meal, when he was struck down by
flash of lightning and expired with scarcely a
groan. His sister who stood by his side was
struck insensible to the floor, and two young
ladies who were standing in the door marking
the progress Of the storm were very much stun
ned. This dspensation of Providence caused
great CONSERVATION in the neighborhood, Mr..
Shaffer being held in high esteem by all who
knew him. He leaves wife and family to mourn
his sudden DEATH

Counterfeiters About.

Under this caption last week, we gave short
report of what may he termed an attempt to
pass counterfeit money Intentionally, by young
lady. We were in too much Of hurry and
now deem it necessary to make an.ende honora-
bic to the person whom we so Internationally
slandered. The morning after the day on which
the counterfeit was passed, the same lady again
appeared at the Drug store for the purpose of
procuring more medicine, when she was made
acquainted with the fact that the bill was spuri-
GUS, whereupon she told how she had procured
the money from her brother-in-law who had
procured it from his employer She was fully
exonerated from all blame, and it is source of
extreme qualification to us to be able to correct
ourselves in laying the charge to the young lady
1t is said that the same bill had been presented
at the Bank few days previously, when it was
condemned. The lady was stranger to the
place, having been here only few days, which
accounts for the fact Of suspicion resting upon
her SO soon. We hope those papers which are
guilty of copying our report Of the matter with
out SO much Of a credit as thank you," will
make just amends to the character of the young
lady by correcting themselves

The New TrentVn Bird ge.

We learn that the Capital stock for this enter
prise, $50, 900, has now been fully subscribed +;
and that the commissioners at a meeting held on
the 18th inst, resolved to make collection from
the share holders of SIS per share, being the first
instalment. In order to full compliance with
the provisions of their charter, the appreciation
of the Executives of New Jersey and Pennsylva-
MIA, must be obtained before further procedure
When this is obtained under the seals of the
respective States, the commissioners will then be
prepared to locate the site and advertise for pro-
posals for constructing the bridge, which they
design pushing forward with all possible expeGi-
tion.-IndeG.

Improving.


The gentlemen connected with the Cricket
Club of this place, are now negotiating for the
purchase of lot of ground. ON which to per-
manently locate themselves. Die ground is stu
ated in the northerny portion of the town, at
the end of Union Street, containing about five
acres. 1t is proposed to make the lot into a
species of park and recreation ground, leaving
the centre open for the playing of Cricket. We
are happy to hear of the enterprise Of our young
men, and especially that it will be through their
instrumentalty that we are to have shady
park. We hope to hear that some of our mo-
MED men will assist these gentlemen in their en-
beavers, and we can see no reason why it cannot
be made stock concern, for truly it will not les
sen the value of the land to have fireman few
years in the form Of public square. Push on,
young men.

Fresh vegetables are becoming very abundant.
Potatoes, tomatoes, apples, &c, can be pro-
cured remarkably cheap at present, at any Of the
truck stands. The berry crop is one Of the hea-
West know in several years blackberries and
dewberries selling at from to cents per quart.
The peach crop in this county will be very heavy,

of the opinion that the supply will be- equal tc
the demand, Judging from the report Of othe
sections, and our citizens will have an opportu

Contract Awarded.

The building Of the new county bridge across
the Branch near Clinton, has been awarded to
our enterprising founders and machinists, Messrs.
VIM. & Chas. Gown of this place. 1t will be
of iron, after the same plan as the one recently
erected by them for the county at Mt. Airy, and
Falso similar to the one now in course of erection
by them across Swans creek, at Union street, in
this Town. The bridge will be $50 feet in length
with three piers and two abutments. The ma
son and stone work will be executed by Mr. c..
w. Angel, of this place. This speaks well for
the enterprising spirit of our town, as the oppo-
sition in bidding was very strong, such firms as
VanCleave & Co., being among the bidders.

the people of New Jersey. In deed, this State
furnished the first example on the Continent, of
efficient Associations devoted to Bible distribu-
ton among all classes of the people We are
glad to learn that this cause is sustained with a
growing vigor and interest in the several conn
ties of this State. Connected with the 81 Coun-
ty Bible Organizations, are found large numbers
of our most esteemed citizens men who are emf
nent both in the church and State connected
with various denominations of Christians, but
who all unite in the worthy effort to give copy
of the Word of God to every human being. It
will crafty every Patriot Philanthropist and
Christian to know that this important work is
carried on with a growing interest.

Death to the Bugs.

The following remedy is said to be infallible
Take two pounds of alum, bruise it, and then
reduce it nearly to powder dissolve it in three
quarts of boiling water, letting it remain in a
warm place till the alum is dissolved. The alum
water is to be applied hot, by means of a brush,
to every point and crevice. Brush the crevices
in the floor of the skirting board if they are sus-
pected places whitewash the ceiling, putting
in plenty of alum, and there will be an end to
their dropping from thence.
