- Friday morning last, Mr. Jack
Frost made his appearance in this sec
ton, which caused poor, shivering hu-
mainly to feel Ike getting on their
winter buds, and getting up their coal
stoves For our part we began to
fear that the buckwheat was spoiled
(buckwheat cakes being one of our
especial Weaknesses but we under
stand the crop is not injured in the
least.
- In noticing the various follow
ers of St. Crispin, in town, through
the columns Of the Press, we had al
most forgotten cur old, and much es-
teemed friend, Commodore Arnett, of
Boot Hall, big handbills, and Auction
eer notoriety However, the Commo-
dore still holds forth in Boot Hall,
Coryell St, where he is driving on his
business in his usual enterprising
and energetic manner Arnett can do
most anything, so if you want anything
done, call on Arnett.

ton, is expected to address the Demo

ganized last winter, under such favor
able auspices, may be considered a

kings of several knowing indiyid uals
We understand that the first regular
meeting of the Society will be held at
the Office of L e. Parsons, ESQ.,, this
Wednesday evening, Oct. Sd, at y
o'clock Let every one, both old and
young, turn out, and give, by their

- We have learned, from one Of
our Kingwood correspondents, that
the report in regard to the Republican
pole in Baptisttown being tarred, was
altogether false, no tar being wasted in
that manner.
- Did our friend, Barlow, of the
Republican, mean to insinuate that we
had only 100 subscribers ? or was he
jokin' or had heen indulging in root
beer on the fair ground, or perhaps he
didn't know what he was talking about.
We keep standing challenge to any
newspaper publisher or editor in Hun
terdon county to show larger circu-
lation, and fewer deadheads. than the
L0nbertulle Press has. Our books
are always open, gentlemen. and when
you come to Lambertville, don't forget
to call in and see us.
We hope the appearance Of
some of our papers Will be excused
this week, as the late cool weather we
have had has almost entirely disabled
US from working our Steam Press, we
having it up in barn, and barely
protected from the weather; bit we
expect to get up in our new institution
very shortly now, and then We hope
we won't have to make excuses.
