An article prepared for the Norris
town Herald and Free Press, on
New Hope and Lambertville, contains
the following interesting account Of
the late residence of the late DIR
Charles Hutfna3le, Counsel General to
India, deceased. The Herald's cor
respondent says:

villa, is constructed somewhat in the
pointed style, Of large and symmetrical
proportions the dwelling is approach
ed along carriage drive which enters
a lawn beneath stone arch surmouhted
by al eagle and decorated with the

What can be more acceptable to
those residing at distance-tho. e
who have left the home and scenes of
their childhood, than to receive copy
of a "home paper" which they may
peruse and learn of matters in which
they are interested to know-to learn
who is married, who has die d, who is
going to sell out, or has changed or
entered into business, &c To all who
have friends at distance, we would
say, that they could not make more

The Engine Meeting.

An adjourned meeting was held on
Monday evening, in the new Council
Chamber, to hear the report of the
Committee appointed to procure in
/ formation in regard to a new lire en-
CINE for this place, and the probable
cost of the same, as well as the kind
best adapted to the wants of our citi-
zens.
Mr.. Joseph Smith was in the chair,
and Clark Pierson, Esq, was the Sec
rotary.
Mr.. VIM. Gown. Chairman of the
)mmittee. read lengthy report, on
the subject, in which it was stated
that the Committee had visited Phila-
delphia and New York, and examined
various Steam Fire Engines, and
Hand Engines that in their opinion
Steam Fire Engine was best adup-
ted for this town, &c. The cost of a
hand engine would be about $1,000,
such as would be required here, and a
steam engine could be procured for
$4,000 The report was accepted.
Mr.. VIM. Gown then offered the
following resolutions, which were de-
bated at length, and then adopted by
the meeting:
WHEREAS: The citizens of Lambert
vile, at former meeting, decided
to dispense with the old, and pro
cure new apparatus fer the ex-
tinguishing of fires, and appointed
a Committee to inquire into the
merits of the various kinds Of Fire
Engines, and
WHEREAS The said Committee have
reported to this meeting that in
their opinion Steam Fire Engine
is best adapted to the wants Of the
Town, therefore
Resolved, LIST, That in the opinion
of this meeting. the most suitable ar
rangement for the extinguishing of
fires in this town, would be q Steam
Fire Engine, the said Engine to be
managed by voluntary organization
Of citizens, subject to the control OF
the Common Council.
Resolved, End, That tie informa-
ton now obtained, and the sentiment
of this meeting be submitted to the
Common Council, and that they be re-
quested to take the matter into con-
sideration, and after procuring such
other information as may be needed,
to decide upon and procure the appa'
ratus proper in their view, and to make
such arrangements as may be necessa-
ry for raising The requisite funds.
Resolved, Sd, That the Secretary
of the meeting shall communicate the
above to the Common Council
A vote of thanks was unanimously
rendered the Committee, and reso
lntion passed authorizing the Common
Council to defray the expenses Of the
Committee while in search of informa
ton concerning engines.

LambertyiIle Public school.

The Annual Report of the State
Superintendent of Public Schools, we
have received through the kindness OF
Hon G. benson, from which we copy
the following report from L. Fl. Par
sons, ESQ.,, the Superintendent of the
LambertviIle Public School; respect
ing its condition
The town of Lambertville, as here
tofore reported, comprises but one
school district, and but one public
school properly so called. In that
school are employed two male teachers,
one at six hundred and one at three
hundred dollars, and four females at
an average of one hundred and eighty
dollars year. There are, however,
within the district six private schools,
which come nominally- under the con-
troll of the school trustees, among
which is divided special fund, raised
for that purpose, of three hundred dol
lars. In these six schools are eight
teachers.
The amount received from the State
is three hundred and twenty five dol
lars and the sum raised by tax for
school purposes proper { including the
three hundred dollars before mention
ed, } is eighteen hundred dollars, be-
sides FIVE hundred and fifty dollars
raised for bulldog and incidental pur-
poses making altogether, with the
State appropriation, twenty nine hun
dred and seventy-fve dollars The
amount paid by individuals for tuition
in these six private schools and one
family school, cannot be less than
eighteen hundred dollars.
The number Of children in the town
between the ages of five and eighteen
years, is seven hundred and two The
whole number of children who have
attended school more or less during
the year, appears from the several
rolls to be six hundred and eighty one
Bnt this estimate is doubtless fallacious
to some eX ent, on account of q num-
Der of 81 holars coming from out of the
town, few being over eighteen years
old !; and some who go from one school
to another and are therefore counted
more than once The average daily
attendance during the year Of all the
schools as nearly a, can be aseertained,
is four hundred and seven, which is
relatively no improvement upon form
er ysArs
The great evils in the working of
the common school system il this place
are chronic and apparently incorrig
ible rregularity of attendance, and
culpable Indifference on the part Of pa
rents and Others. Notwithstanding
these embarrassing obstacles unequis-
zeal evidences Of improvement are per-
ceptible, and in some respects enconr-
aging.
Our schools are all kept open about
ten months during the wear

Saturday evening several lads aged
from 70 to l6 years, entered the shop
of S. L. Martindell, in Union street,
broke glass out of the show case on
the counter and helped themselves to

&c. Mrs. M. who was in an adjoining

appropriating the various articles, and
attempted to drive them off, but they
would not nor did not go until they
had pockcted all they desired. They
then proceeded to the Bow Factory

where they broke open desk, strew-
ed the papers about, &c. 1t will not

Il is feared that the peach crop in

the ball announced to take place at
Coryell's Hall, for the benefit of the
Lambertville Fencibles, came off, and

the fact, that sensation was created
in the neighborhood Of Ncv Market,
near this place, occasioned by rum

supposed to be an earthquake, was al

"There YVES toierably clear sky,
and we were suddenly startled by a
sudden clap of thunder, which seemed
to originate in the northwest, and

away, requiring some seconds lorger

1t was accompanied with shaking Of
houses, and rafting Of crockery. The
instant preceding the report, a large
ball of fire was seen by some of the
hands in the ship yard of Mr. Terry.
This luminous boiy moved with great
velocity, its course being north east

1t seems to me that this affair was
the same as that beard at Newark, and
at other places. Moreover, that it
was no earthquake at all, but great
meteor, conrsing in our atmosphere

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most eftectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal maady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remcdals that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
lions which arise from it, such as ERurTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIpELAs, PIMpLEs, PUsruLRs,
BLoToHEs, BLAINs and BORIS, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, R1NGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYpHL1TIc and MERcuRIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPUAE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " tusourity Of the blood" is founded in TRUTH
for scrofula is a degeneration Of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

ScrOfula. or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this duid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which 1t may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary i'll the con-
stitution, descending 4" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation )" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, I" L
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effectc commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in tho glands swellings; and ON
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
lions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous /;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it..
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
