for New York.
F. P. Sellers, ESQ.,, editor and
proprietor of the Belvidere Inteli-
gencer, was in town on Saturday last,
and called at our former place of bus
mess, not knowing, perhaps that we
had left that locality
- During the meeting of the Iy-
ceum on Wednesday evening last, the
gas acted very strangely 1t is ac-
counted for, by the boys blowing wind
in the pipes through the burners on
the stairs. Smart boys.
- A friend says the reason why
the "Wide Awakes," on Wednesday
evening last, "made away" with so
many sandwiches and fixins was be
cause they were formed into hol-
low square.
- We will be much pleased to
have any of our lady friends call upon
us when they come to town We will
exhibit our " Steam Printer without
extra charge; and be glad of the
chance.
- The young man Housed, of this
county, convicted of passing counter
felt money in Bucks county, abont
year ago and sentenced to Il term of
Imprisonment in the penitentiary, who
pretended to be insane while confined
in tbs Doylestown Jail, has got over
his insanity since his removal to the
penitentiary. His insanity was evil
IDENTITY nothing but =" shamming"
- Many a poor woman thinks
she can do nothing without a husband
and when she gets one, finds she can
do nothing with him. In selecting a
lawyer or doctor, take one who has
business enough to give him conf
dence and not enough to make him
careless.
- Peterson's Detector cautions
the public to refuse Elves on the
Western Bank of Philadelphia. Over
$4,000 in spurious bills have been re-
covered. The notes are well engraved
and good limitations of the genuine.
These are the sort manufactured by
Minnie" Price.
A raft coming down the Della
ware, struck the tressIe work, under
the new bridge at Trenton, and car
ried away the arch, and has thus seri-
ously retarded the work. 1t is said
that the damage is valued at about
$4,000.

Republican Parade &c.
On Wednesday evening last, the
Republicans Of this neighborhood in
very jnbilant manner, celebrated the
victories achieved by them at the late
elections. A procession composed of
Wide Awakes from Lambertville, Now
Hope, and Center Hill, preceded by
the Lamberaville Band, and under the
command of Marshals Sproat, Trego,
Ely, Weeden, Blackfau and pa
raded the streets of this, and our sis
ter town, cheering in the most enthu-
siastic manner Along the route of
the procession, the residences and
places of business of numbers Of the
friends Of the cause were brilliantly
Illuminated and handsomely decorated
while the firing Of rockets, blnel lights
and Roman candles made the scene
one of unusual brilliancy. In the line
appeared two wagons, each drawn by
fonr horses, one representing cold

the other carrying large boat, in

ing, WAS formed into hollow square
near the residence of Mr.. Sidney
Blackwell; and treated to collation. of
ham sandwiches p" by the ladies'
The entire Republican community en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion,
and endeavored to give ZEE. &c the

A Query.

n
We frequently hear the question of
" Who is likely to be our next Post
master ~ propounded at tho street
corners. We hear of several DESTROYS
of succeeding our present efficient and
able incumbent, but often the busy
tongue Of Rumor runs wild. The
ides of March may bring abont
change, bnt the reports can be traced
by us to no authentic source. We
know there are some objections to the
idea of Mr.. Thomson retaining his po-
sition from the mistaken notion that
" the spoiles belong to the victcrs. -
We do not like this notion in politics.
We say, inasmuch as our present P.
M. is in circumstances which call for
an ameliorated view of the case, that
if he has heretofore performed the du-
ties Of his responsible post in becom-
ing manner, and in way to give Of
fence to none, he ought to be allowed
to remain We do not profess to be
acquainted with the whole history of
the Postmastership in this place, but
as the question is likely to be an in
teresting one by and by, we thus early
commence to speak Of it, end await
further Developments. May the best
man win. as they say in the expressive
language Of the T. r.

A GooD ONE.--A physician was once
called upon to tender his professional aid
to the wife of recently married country
men, who by the way was little versed
in the technical terms which are used by
the medical family. The doctor having
felt the pulse and viewed the tongue of
the patient together with sundry other
wise tricks, prepared a plaster, which
he ordered the husband to lay upon the
chest of "his better half" promising to
call again on the following day. He
came and after making the usual inquiries
respecting his charge, asked if the plas-
ter had been applied agreeable to his in
structions.
Sir" said the husband with The ut
most gravity conceivable, "my wife said
she had no chest and thinking it would
answer just as well, | laid it on her
t1ank t'
About this time you might have seen
an individual making tracks down the
road in a roar Of laughter.

THE iRESS VERSUS THE PULPtT.-
Henry Wand Beecher on recent occa-
sion said "The articles of the press go
further than the sermon, and carry with
them really more certainly where
one hears three day, which is an abom-

preach more than ore day-and mo-

"Why dc you not attack the Republic
