the long list of accidents through it's agency
We have heard from reliable source that a
gentleman, heretofore holding respectable po-
sltlon in society, recently eloped from Somer-
vile with his sister-in-aw. 1t is said the par
ties left letter, stating that pursuit would be
useless, as they were on their way to California,
ere the letter reached their friends The man
leaves a wife and two children. We forbear
mentioning names, at present.
A smash-up occurred on the Fair Ground on
Saturday last occasioned by horse belonging
to Mr.. Shurts, of Readington, becoming uuman-
ageable, and running into the wagon of Mr.
Gulick, breaking it and doing Mr.. G. some in
jury.
The Methodist Sunday School had pic mic
on the island near Roland's Mill on Thursday
last We regret not being able to attend, but
learn that pleasant and profitable day was
spent by children, teachers parents and friends.
Upward of 100 children were present and not
a single accident occurred to mar the pleasures
of the occasion.
The Baptist Sunday School intend holding
pic mic at the same place on Wednesday Of this
week We wish them pleasant day and much
enjoyment.
How is it that we hear nothing of Presby-
terian Sunday School picnic Will not some

the canals is very heavy; double the number

Green Wall Paper Poisonous

Attention has been frequently directed to the
fact that green wall paperis remarkably poison
Gus, and we now learn that from an investigation
recently made the following was the result.
From one square foot of the paper, taken
from room which was papered with one of the
tufted or flock green papers, thirty grains of the
powder were scraped off and sent to chemist );
and the amount of solid arsenic in it was eleven
grains-more than one third. These green
paper hangings are more poisonous to the air of
the room when they are not glazed but velvety

Steam Navigation ON the Delaware.

A company has been formed at Belvidere for
the purpose of trying again the feasibility of
navigating the Delaware with the aid of steam.
The plan is to run from Belvidere to Port Jervis
The committee appointed to make explorations
and surveys reports no serious hindrances ex-
cept at few points, where immediate measures
will be taken to clearing the channel. The
steam boat was built at Easton and when loaded
will draw about fifteen inches. The model is
the same as the other boats which run the river
few years ago although not so large and COM
modous. We hope to hear of the success Of
this new enterprise, for opening this region of
country which has heretofore been deprived of a
market

Delaware Division.

Fernon's Register says, as navigation was
commenced three weeks earlier the present sea-
son than the last on the Delaware Division the
receipts for a corresponding period each year
are about the same. From this it appears that
of the excess of coal tonnage shipped from the
Lehigh region during the present season, COM
pared with the last, amounting to 184, 649 tons,
bnt small proportion sought the market via the
Delaware Division, the most Of the increase pass
ing out from the Lehigh region over the other
carrying lines, a considerable portion of it pre-
ferring the Morris Canal, which, at Jersey City,
enjoys the faculties of an advantageous outlet
upon the New York waters.

HunterdOn Co. Items.

We learn the following items from the Repub-
lican.
serious accident occurred on Saturday NOR
ming last, near the residence of VOORHEES, Quick,
a short distance below Rockafellow's Mill A
-colored man named Ed. Thompson was engaged
in moving colored family, by name of Perlee
from Neshanic mountain to somewhere near Mr.
Quick's residence. In the wagon, besides three
women and himself, was a large stove and several
other articles. 1t appeays that the recent heavy
showers had so washed the lane as to make it
unsafe for travel, but the. driver not knowing
this, proceeded and soon hadthe misfortune to
upset the wagon and spill its contents, the stove
falling directly upon the neckof Mrs. PerIee,
killing her almost instantly. TheOthers, strange
to say, escaped without injury. The horses were
so entangled that the harness had toAbe cut be-
fore they could be extricated. Ths funeral
services were held in the NJ E. Church in this
village, and the sermon preached by Rev. Mr.
Waters.
1t is said by some that rum was the cause, o
this sad affair, which, if true, adds another &

The New Bridge.

The iron bridge just completed forthe county,
by Messrs W. & g Gown, under the supervision
of the board of Freeholders was subjected to
trial on Tuesday last. A weight of fifteen or
sixteen tons was placed upon the bridge on Mon
day, and when the levels were taken, it was
found that one side had depressed one half inch,
and the other one fourth of an inch. The struc-
ture is built, after Lowthrops patent, wholly of
iron, with a double road way and footpaths on
either side. 1t is of beautiful design, and will
undoubtedly attract attention.

SUNDAY School Pic Mic.

The teachers scholars, and others connected
with the Presbyterian Sunday School of this
place, win go on an excursion tomorrow (Fri-
day. They will leave here about A. NJ
and go in boat to Larison's where they will
spend the day rusticating in the beautiful
grove short distance from the river. Visions
of merry times are shooting before the eyes and
through the fancies of many smiling urchins, who
with clean faces and check aprons are expecting
to participate in the scenes of the day.

Cure of Hydrophobia.

A physician sends to the Albany Euening

as warm as the patient can bear it, repeating

No blistcrdraws sharper than ':interest"

No blistcrdraws sharper than ''interest"
does. Ofall the industries none is COM
parable to that of interest. 1t works day
and night, in fair weather and in foul. 1t
has no sound in its footsteps, but travels
fast. 1t knaws at mans substance with
invisible teeth. 1t binds industry with
its film, as a fly is bound upon SPIDERS
web. Debt rolls q man over and over,
binding him hand and foot and letting him
hang upon the fatal mesh until the long
legged interest devours him. There is no
crop that can afford to interest money on
farm. There is but one thing raised on
a farm like it. and that is the Canadian
Thistle, which swarms new plants every
time You break its roots, whose blossoms
are prolific, and every flower the father of
million seed. Every leaf is an awl,
every branch spear, and every single
plant is an armed host. The whole plant
is torment and a vegetable curse. And
yet farmer had better make his bed of
{ .nada Thistlcs, than attempt to lie at
ease upon interest"

How Yor NAY Know Coop Fathers.

How Yor NAY KNOW COOP Fathers.
1t is good sign and true when You see
amid q little group of boys, one dart from
the rest, and tossing his arms above his
head, shout There's ny Father !" as he
runs TO meet him. You may be sure, no
matter what business troubles soever that
man may have, that there is a spot in his
heart still fresh and green, which the cares
of the world have had no power to blight.
"Thcre's my flthcr!' With what a pret-
ty pride the little fellow shouts this He
must be indeed y brute whose fatherly
heart does not swell with love, whose eyes
dc not glisten, who does not, at such q
moment, feel amply repaid for that days
toll, no matter how .wearisome. After
all, Loec is the only thing worth having
in this world. They who stand over new
made graves tell us so. Fame, and money,
and ambition, dwindlc to nothing, beside
the white, calm brow of death, though
God knows it may be the younglmg OF
the flock, whose lips have never even
learned to syllable our names.
