House Cleaning.

House cleaning time is here again with all its
Inconvenience, its small deluges, &C., of which
the male members of families always complain SO
bitterly but we cannot help thinking that the
complaints would be more loud and numerous
from those who grumble at housekeeping, were
the ladies to abandon the custom Of cleaning and
allow everything to become covered with filth of
one kind and another. Clean floors, White-wash-
ed walls, and fences are not unpleasant things to
look upon and be surrounded by. Eff those who
have charge of cleaning will allow u.s. we will
suggest that they throw chloride Of lime around
the sinks; it will make things look neat and
smell sweet. Now is the time to do it.

Cheap Fares.

Cheap Fares.
We learn from advertisements that the Belvi-
dere Delaware Railroad have reduced their rates
of fare from Phillipsburg to New York via Tren-
ton from $1.75 to 81, and from Pennington to
New York from $l.75 to 81, with round tickets
good to return any time for $3.50. This we
think will have the effect of bringing consider
able travel of this route and likewise of reducing
the fare on the Central r. r, The travelling
community of Pennington heretofore have been
in the practice of crossing over to the Central R.
r. at White House by stage, and by this means
having several hours in New Yosk and return
the same day, which it is impossible to do via
Trenton with the present. arrangement of pas

IMPORTANT

That every one should read Bennett
& Cooley's advertisement, and then call
and examine their large and beautiful
stock Of Dry Goods; the cheapest and
best selected assortment Of Dry Goods ev-
Ell before offered for sale by them, and
presenting attractionsand advantages to
the trade generally, snch as are to bemet
with in few places. They also wish the
public to understand thatthey buy their
own goods and regulate their owas 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 a 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 wewill not be

The Glorious Fourth.

The citizens of Frenchtown have resolved to-
celebrate the anniversary of our National INDIE
pendence in suitable manner No doubt the
affair will be deserving one and reflect credit
upon the gentlemen having it in charge. We
would advise all our country friends to go to
Frenehtown to witness the celebration, provided,
aOe do not hoUe one IN LGnbertUtt1e. We do
not exactly know what the gentleman are doing
in this place. although we think they are taking
strenuous measures to bring about glorious de
monstration.

Reduction of Toll.

The Directors of the Yardleyville Delaware
Bridge company have determined to reduce the
toll on their bridge to eight cents for each horse
instead of ten, as heretofore. The new regu-
lation takes effect on the 1st of June. The pro-
posed new bridge it would seem, has had some
good effects already; both the Trenton and
YardIeyviIle bridges having reduced their tolls
since the agitation for the city bridge commenced
Of course, we do not say that the reduction has
baen caused by the prospect of opposition
the reason for it every one can judge for them
selves; we are, in any event, pleased at the re-
duction, as partial removal of an obstacle to the
centering of the Bucks Co. trade in this city

GrasshOppers.

These destructive insects have again made
their appearance in this locality and appearances
indicate that they will be extremely annoying.
Farmers in this neighborhood say their fields are
already swarming with them, and that they are
commencing to attack the young corn. In some
portions of Bucks Co., they have commenced to
devour the potato tops. The early war they
are making upon vegetables, indicates that they
will be troublesome.

many large districts almost total failure This
year, there is the prospect of an abundant crop.
We never saw the apple trees generally more

may be said of pear trees. Cherry trees. did not
bloom very full, but have passed the stage of

Accounts o, ..~ .x-.u,,ou.

We gave yesterday several interesting ac-
counts of the closing scenes at ChailestoWn
from our own correspondents. rs well as some
from other sources. 1t is worthy of note that,
from the beginning of the late troubles, the
principal media of intelligence including the
Geographic wires, seem to have been in hands
inimical TO the South. The agent OF the ASSOC
ciased press speaks in the article copied yes
terday of the military strictness - on the
day of execution, being "most annoying -
which we dare say it was to BROWN and hi 5
sympathizers, but not TO the citizens of Viz
ginia. The same writer als says: 81 The ge H.
eral conviction is everywhere entertained that
the rumors of the in tend ed rescue were alto
gether an egregious noax.'' We appreh End
that this is another mistake, and that the
"generai convicsion,' - based not only on the
letters received by Gov WISE, hut on the gen.
erai tone and temper OF the Mort ern people.
is that rescue would have been attempted but
for the efficient military precautions to pro-
vent ii.
