Relief of N euralgia


AS this dreadful disease, says an ex-
change, is becoming more prevalent
than formerly, and as doctors have dis
covered no method or medicine that
will permanently cure it, we simply
state that for some time past member
of our family has suffered most intense
ly from it, and could find no sure re-
lief from any remedy applied, until we
saw an article that recommended the
application of horseradish to the face
for tooth ache. As neuralgia and the
tooth ache are both nervous diseases,
we thought the remedy for the one
would be likely to give relief to the
other; SO we made the application of
horseradish, bruised, applied to the
side of the body where the disease was
seated. 1t gave almost instant relief
to severe attack Of neuralgia. Since
then, we have applied it several times,
and with the same gratifying result
The remedy is simple, cheap, and may
be within the reach Of every one

From Milford.

From Milford
To THE EDITOR OF THE Press In
week before lasts Press / saw a
statement from correspondent rela-
tive to some troubles between the trus-
tees of the NJ E Church and some of
the citizens of this place, and in order
to correct any wrong impressions which
such statement would be likely to
produce on the minds of persons that
are not acquainted with the facts in
the case, | hope you will allow me the
privilege to lay before your readers
(who are numerous in this section) the
real question of issue, and in the first
place, it is not true that the trustees
were formally waited on to remove
the fence; secondly, it is not true that
any legal proceedings are instituted
against the church and, in the third
place, there is no Irrepressible Con-
fllct raging in this place between the
citizens of Milford and the Temporal
ity of the church but it is true that
there is conflict going on now, and
has been going on since the church was
founded, between itself and the powers
OF darkness, and though many had to
surrender, through the peaceful stipn-
lations of the gospel treaty, still our
enemies are not vanquished, as the
black flag is seen waving on their ram
parts. | have now only to say that
there was a difference of opinion be-
tween two gentlemen in this place, re-
speeding the true boundaries of the
road in question, each contending for
his legal rights only, and they failing
to adjust the matter, it was therefore
necessary to call the surveyors Of the
highway, and after two Intellectual at
tempts to find the true line, Gas there
is no survey on record it was finally
left to public opinion, and the citizens,
with a few exceptions, are perfectly
satisfied with the road as it now is !;
especially as many can testify that its
present course is where it was fifty nine
years ago. While this matter was
talking over, few individuals con
ceived the idea that their rights were
also infiringed, in consequence of a
fence in front of the said church and
adjacent to said road /; yet, though the
road may be four rods wide at this
place, their visionary powers sometimes
become SO dim that they cannot see
to navigate in open daylight, and con
sequently allege it is an impeachment to
locomotion. Your correspondent is
right with regard to the noise of the
surveyors chains at l i o'clock at night,
through graveyards, streets, church
yards, &C.. but it only caused amuse-
ment when it was discovered that a.
/ this was caused, not by the ghost o.
our worthy overseer, but by the mar
himself.

Desperate ARRAY.

Mr.. VIM. w. Hall, hotel keeper at
Flaggtown, formerly of Ringoes, was
seriously injured, a short time since, in
the following manner: A man named
Opdyke, was in the bar-room about 8
o'clock, and upon starting home asked
for drink, which Hall refused to give
him. Opdyke then went out and open
ed the shutters which the hostler had
just shut, whereupon Hall went out to
shut them AS soon as Hall came out
on the stoop Opdyyke hit him with a
stone on the head with sufficient force
to fell him to the floor, insensible.-
Opdyke then kicked and beat him in a
most cruel manner The life Of the in
jured man was despaired of for several
days, but we learn that now there are
hopes Of his recovery. Opdyke has
fed for parts unknown.

To Remove Clinkers in Stoves

Accident.

Accident
On Wednesday afternoon last, as the
passenger train on the Belvidere Della
ware Railroad was passing between
Asylum and Ewing Station, the horse
which Mr.. Hendrickson, of Trenton
was driving toward that city, became
frightened at the cars and ran away,
throwing M. Fl. from the sulkey and
stepping on him, and so stunning him
that he was senseless for some time.
The train was stopped until persons
residing near the scene Of accident took
charge of the body, which was sup
posed at that time to be lifeless. The
injured man, upon reviving, was taken
to his home at Trenton.

Mr.. Enron

Mr.. EDITOR -
As writing about the " Poor of
Lambertville " seems to be among the
things now in vogue, I will give a few
facts which may possibly serve as a
criterion for others togo by when they
write, and thus keep nearer the truth.
1t is bad enough to be poor without
having every idler writing about it.
Since December thirty one have recei-
we'd aid and assistance in the town.
The number of inmates at the Poor
House have averaged five per month
since last April and the expense at
this time amounts to about ten dollars
per week. AS to the visits extended
to the poor | think when peoples mon
ey is gone, their visits from neighbors
and pastors are very sparse ind6 ed, at
least, SO learn from experience.
