Brief Mention.

Harry Vail, a resident of Mil
ford. who had the misfortune to have
his wife taken from him q short time
since, has, rumor says, succeeded in
procuring another, and thus the matter
is definitely settled. Good man, Harry.
The report that Nelson sent word to
Vail if he would come after his wife he
might have her and no questions asked,
is denied
A raw east wind, during the
greater part of the past two weeks,
has been blowing all sorts of diseases,
such as blue devils, hypocondaice, back
ache, crabbedness, touch-me-not, &C.,
&C., amongst our citizens. A change
has now taken place.
The Exhibition OF the Scholars
of the M. E. Sunday School, of New
Hope, was quite an interesting affair.
The principal complaint made by the
audience was, that the speakers were
too young to interest any one outside
their own circle of friends. The ex-
ercises were enliyened by vocal and in
strumental music by Mr. Bruce, of
Vermont, assisted by some young la
dies from this place.
- Our former playmate and town
hoy, Theodore F. Oruer, chap very
well known by greater portion of the
rising generation of this place, has
again turned up in the West, as Fore
man of the Border STAR" published
at Westport, Kansas. That paper
notices his existence in this wise:
Mr.. THEo. F. ORNER, our Fore
man, is one of the best printers in the
western country, and as fancy card
and job printer, he has but few equals.
Send in your orders soon, as heintends
aeaving shortly"
- Messrs Reading & Kuglar, of
Frenchtown, are engaged very extern
sively in the Spoke and Handle bust
ness. They are making arrangements
for the manufacturing of wheels for
the city market, a branch of business
entirely new to this section of the
State. Their facilities for doing bust
ness are extensive, and ere long we
expect to chronicle their success.
A short time since we said in
the Press that there was bridge in
Union township, Hunterdon county,
which, if taken as a centre, with
radius of two miles, the circle will en-
compass forty widows That soil does
not seem adapted to the growth of
married men. This item of general
intelligence is taken down considerably
by the following, in the " Village
Record :"
"Three years ago the village of
Cranberry, containing perhaps less
than thousand inhabitants, possessed
fifty widows At the present time we
presume there are less than that num-
Der of "poor lone creeters " within its
borders, the soil" there being now
"better adapted to the growth Of mar
ried men i" than it was then"
Mr. Sidney Blackwell hascom-
menced operations at the southeast
corner of Union and Coryell SITS. for
building large and splendid edifce,
in which to have the LAMBERTvILLE
Press !" published. The building will
be forty-fye feet square, with a front
on both Union and Coryell Sts., and !
three or four stories high, the whole
surmounted by an observatory, from
which will float the stars and stripes
when the circus comes in town, or the
Fourth of July goes out, and from
which we intend to keep a look out
after small sized seventy four gun
(subscriber) ship (sheet. The lower
story will be used as 9 store, and the
upper portion as dwelling and print
ing Office, with the necessary accom-
modations for our Steam Engine and
Power Job and Newspaper Press. =

- The Annual May Party of the
Teachers and Scholars of the Public
School in this place will take place to-
morrow, should the weather prove IA
vorabie. A public presentation of a
watch, &C., the gift of the Scholars to
the Principal, Mr. James M. Robinson,
will take place in the afternoon. We
expect to see everybody present at
this meeting. We shall endeavor to
give an account of the affair for the
benefit of those who cannot attend,
but we would be obliged to everybody
if they would go, and thereby save US
the trouble.
-Communication received from
"Philos" is too long to be inserted
this week. We are sorry for this. but
the crowded state of our columns will
not admit of its being published. We
feel thankful to him for the following
items of interest:
