VINO KNowS-We would inquire whether
any of the people hereabouts have missed any
chickens lately. Blackwell, of the Lambert
Vile Press, had an agent in this town and
vicinity two or three days last week. Also,
Messrs ehampanore and Little, of Clinton,
were here one day and did not return until
after dark We merely make these statements
for the benefit of the public .-G1Gshe.
Your suspicious are not well found
ed, Alexander. While our Agent
was ct Pennington. he was bountifully
supplied with chickens roasted,
stewed, and in the shell" by Messrs
Danberry & Wanmaker, of the County
House Whatever might have been
his inclination that way, be certainly
had no occasion to go into the "chick-
en- trade on bis own hook" When
he goes to Pennington for that par
pose, he will call on you to show him
around, as we have not the least
doubt, from your long experience in
the dark lantern business, you
know where to find the largest and
plumpest chick in the neighborhood.
Shamp1nore says in regard to the
chickens
so far as we are concerned, we will say,
that suspeeting the chickens along our route
all had bells on, we did not interfere with
them"

following Dispatch" We hope that
the person referred to will be able to
explain his singular conduct:

APRIL II, 1861.
FRIEND PIERsoN This is to inform you
that saw the Agent of the Lambertville Pass

easy entrance at the dead hour Of the night

wears black clothes. We give this description
as guard for the public against depredations,
inasmuch as he does not eOnlne hin self to

The above very interesting little bit
of information appeared in the last
issue of the Beacon. We are some

amiable and dove-like disposition, and
his many other good qualities that go

pated, idiotic scribbler, whose peculiar
forte lies in the detraction of every

seized this opportunity us most for
tunate one to show his "teeth and

- At the recent township cleo

Cured, which for a time threatened
to become qnite serious. The cause
of the disturbance was on account OF
a difference of opinion as to where
the next election should be held. Mr..
Samuel Bancroft promptly qnieted the
dissatisfaction.

did not call to see US, probably for

From Quakert0Wn.

From QuakertOWn.
Mr. EDITOR Being under the
painful necessity of once more placing
upon record condensed report of the
Transporting events in this locality, in
consideration o. tie uproarious and
intimidating conduct on the part OF
some of our citizens, in attacking and
scandalizing the supposed originator
of these articles, will proceed brief
ly allude to the cirt umstances, as
conveyed to me by an eye witness
The PRESS had scarcely been launched
into Quakertown when a tumnlt--
perhaps not equalled in the annals of
hi&tory-arose, Gguratively speaking,
without regard to charac er or self
respect, and in direct antagonism to
deliberation and calmness.
The preposterous idea Of iuficting
censure upon inn ocent persons has
been carried to an extent remarkable
for this generation of rational beings.
Applications not worthy of comment
have been promiseuously adopted in
lien of names Of respectable citizens
In fact, the Press and the people are
constrained to endure the squabbles of
the self-conceited individuals of this
precinct because the Press, as well as
the author, is considered, by one, in
dividual in particular, if not more, as
engaged in crusade against our in
habitants and tie characters thereof
What nonsense for an enlightened
community. The only way practiea-
BILE for exterminating these impress
sions, is to leave all to the calm judg-
ment of the ever scrutinizing public
1t is a notable fact, that here a
man interests himself in what does
not concern him, and spends too much
breath in yindication of his presump-
tions, there he will inherit the disap-
probation of his neighbors, although
not verbally EXPIRE sed by them, uf
of which we have ali instance in this
vicinity. The furnace from whence so
much gas emanates. as is apparent
from the human one that we have To-
Gated here, must eventually become
extinct in the course of events, and
become decrepit Upon these facts
we hope to survive the indomitable
looseness Of the human tongae that
has the power to propagate so much
turbulence in our midst, and to have
a hand in subjngating the monster.
Let these facts suffice TO abrogate
anything that has or may hereafter
appear in contradiction of the right
of an American citizen to the freedom
of speech and of the press, and may
they have tendency to allay the dis
turbance that has so rec. ntly absorbed
matters of more Importance, and Gre
ated 50 much strife and animosity.
BY their being posted in conspicu-
Gus place before the public eye for Sc
we're criticism, the truth may fash to
the minds of whomsoeger may see fit
to apply the case to themselves, of
their inability to find anything erro-
neous in the above assertions, or in
compatible with courtesy, on the part
of the author. The ignominious ac-
cusations against private character
have been left unrestrained too long
The perpetrators have retained the
recognition Of their fallacies so long,
