DRINKING FOUNTAINS. A society has recent

supplying that beer imbibing city with drinking
fountains, that its thirsty inhabitants may

compelled to enter gin-shop or purchase pot

strongly urged in Philadelphia.
FULLERTON, the wretch who starved and beat
his wife in Orleans county, New York, has been

county that the monster could not find a lawyer
who would bring libel suit against the editor
who exposed his yillainy.

Interesting to Farmers,

Those who have not yet planted their corn
will perhaps be interested to know that putting
little gas tar on the seed is the cheapest and
best plan yet discovered to prevent the black
birds and crows from eating It and will not pre-
vent its coming up. Half teacup full is sufi-
Client for bushcl Of seed. 1t is applied best by
putting a few drops on the dry corn in an old
tub, and stirring it we'll and then sprinkling on
little fell lime (not plaster) to prevent the
grains from sticking together.
The same substance is recommended as a pre-
ventive of the curculio, which every year de-
stroys nearly all the plums in the country 1t is
applied by dipping punches of rags in the gas
tar, and hanging them up in the branches of the
trees. The smell of the tar, it is said, is so of
fensive to the insects that they viii not come
near it. The tar on the rags should be renewed
if needed, when the odor disappears. Gas ta
can be had for almost nothing at any place where
there are gas-works, and very little is sufficien
for this purpose

Colored Elopement.

James Gibson, colored man, of Norristown,
was arrested on Saturday week by Constable
Thomas, near Quakertown in Bucks county
1t would appear that James grew tired of his
better half and took decided liking to the
better half Of another colored man, which half
was much younger and better looking than his
own. So one day few weeks ago, James, in
company with this faithless wife of another, took
the afternoon train for parts unknown No clue
of his whereabouts could be found until within
few days; and on Saturday week Constable
Thomas proceeded to Quakertown, where he
caught the bird. Mr. Thomas found that James
was disposed at first to resist him, but few
words Of caution brought him to his senses, and
he concluded to come along quietly.

A Good Place to Invest.

The Rappahannock Valley, in Virginia, pre-
sents splendid opportunities for those who wish
to invest in lands Mr. E. Bauder of Port Roy
al, is now disposing of a large number of farms,
really valuable, at very low figure, for the pur.
pose ofinviting emigration to that quarter
His lands are situate in the vicinity of the Gold
Fields, and in the midst of thickly settled and
improved section of country Persons will find
it to their advantage to seek particulars of the
above mentioned gentleman, who will gladly fur
nish the requisite information.

The State Fair.

The Executive Committee of the State A gri-
cultural Society have been busy in preparing
for the next State Fair. The time for holding
it has been fixed on the 18th, 14th, 18th, and
10th of September, but we learn there is pro-
liability that the time may be changed to some
of the days in October The location has not
been positively agreed upon, although it is ex-
pected some place in the vicinity of Elizabeth
will be selected This place, although not cen
trail for the State is still very convenient, ac
count Of the facility of reaching it from various
points by railroad.

A Steam Carriage.

A steam carriage is creating sensation in
Newark. One appeared in the street containing
four persons. The construction of this Garage
is somewhat novel 1t resembles in appearance
an ordinary light wagon, with an upright boiler
suspended in the centre, between the axles, and
at each side Of it is a small oscillating cylinder,
the piston of which turns the wheels. The
smoke-ppe is placed horizontally under the
Garage, and carries the smoke out at the rear,
under the back axle The two seats are placed
in front and behind the boiler, and the whole APP
paratus, which is exceedingly light for steam
carriage, appeared to be easily guided by crank
in the hand Of the owner, and occupied no more
room than an ordinary coach, without the horse.

The Wife.

TIC W Tie.
1t is astonishing to see how well man may
live on a small income, who has handy and in
dustrious wife. Some men live and make far
better appearance on six or eight dollars week
than others do on fifteen or eighteen dollars. -
The man does his part well but his wife is good
for nothing. She will even upraid her husband
for not living in as good style as his neighbor,
while the fault is entirely her own His neigh
Dor has a neat, capable and industrious wife,
and that makes the difference. So look out
young men before you go into matrimony, it is a
lottery in which most men can only buy one ticket,
and if that turns out blank, your whole life had
better be blank too Luckily, no one need 60
into the welded state with his eyes closed as is
the case with lotteries, and we judge all who are
sensible enough to use their optics may draw
prizes.

Board of FreehOlders.

The meeting of the Board of Freeholders of
Hunterdon Co., was held at Moores Hotel on
Tuesday last. 1t was agreed to erect bridge
across Swan Greek at point where Union ST.
intersects said creek. The bridgeis to be made
wholly of iron, by Messrs. VIM. & Chas. Gown
of this place, after plan to be decided upon by
committee appointed by the Board for that
purpose. 1t will be erected during the coming
summer, and it viii be difficult to conceive what
innumerable benefits will flow from this great
improvement.

strange Phenomenon.

1t will be remembered that few evenings
since strange and movable cloud of light was
seen in the heavens, and that on Thursday bril-
liant circle was observable around the sun. On
Friday night, before the moon disappeared, it
was of deep or blood-red color, while the at
mosphere was thick and sultry On Saturday
morning the sun rose of peculiar reddish hue,
and the day was intensely warm. These are
signs of the end of the world, say the Millerites
but ace think the signs indicate, if anything a
warm and dry spell of weather

Heroic Conduct.

On Saturday last, a lad about six years old,
son of Mr.. Benjamin Rose while playing along
the canal wharf above Bridge ST., fell in the wa
ter, but was rescued from watery grave by his
brother aged ten years, who upon seeing him fall
in, Immediately plunged in from the opposite side
of the canal, where he had been watching, SWAN
across and sustained his little brother until aid
arrived This is what we call true courage and
an instance of brotherly affection seldom wit

Spring Trade and Spring Goods.
IMPORTANT!

That every one should read Bennett

and examine their large and beautiful,
stock Of Dry Goods; the cheapest and
best selected assortment of Dry Goods eve
er before offered for sale by them, and
presenting attractions and advantages to
the trade generally, snch as are to be met
with in few places. They also wish the
public to understand that they buy their
own goods and regulate their Own prices,
or in other words, they" paddle their own
canoe"
They state this merely to prevent the
impression getting abroad that they are
a member Of the Mercantile Association,
though the object of the association may
be good one, let it suffice for the pub
lie to know that Bennett & Cooley has
nothing to do with it. The only thing
that they have been guilty of during the
past year is in selling Dry Goods and
Groceries just a little Cheaper than they
have, that's all. And we now wish it
distinctly understood, that we viii not be
UNDERSOLD.
