Union MILITARY Meeting in New Hope

OuAOu UAAAIdAy HACCbAuSs All Now AAOpCs
A large and spirited Union meeting of the
citizens of New Hope and vicinity was held on
Tuesday evening last, at Beaumont's Hall, in
New Hope. Extensive preparations had been
made in the neighborhood for swelling this
meeting to proportions far beyond any similar
gathering for years, but severe storm of wind
and rain coming up early in the evening put
damper on them. As it was, and in spite of
the torrents of rain and pitchy darkness, the
Hall was filled. Col. W. W. H. Davis, who is
too good a soldier to back out for wind or rain,
fire or hail, having been announced to speak,
arrived amid the pelting storm with q number
of friends among them was James M. Carver,
authorized to recruit for his Regiment.
Samuel johnson Paxson, ESQ.,, late editor Of
the Doylestown Democrat, was called upon to
preside which he in o patriotic outburst of
feeling declined to do unless the Stars and
Stripes were unfurled and suspended in the
room. No sooner said than done the noble
old flag in moment was fastened behind the
stand, the sudden change in the place of meet
ing having occasioned the neglect. number
of Vice Presidents and Secretaries, whose names
we did not learn, were appointed. Col. Davis
addressed the meeting at length in a speech Of
great force and clearness, showing the true ma
ture of the present contest its origin and its

Fell into Honest Hands.-Last sasurd

Fell into Honest Hands.-Last Saturday
on the p. m. train down, on the Bel. Del. R. r.
while the conductor was going through the
cars collecting tickets, few miles below Tren-
ton, he found in one of the seats q purse con-
tanning nearly sixty dollars. The gentlemanly
conductor, flor which they are so much char
acterized on that road,) Immediately on bis
arrival at Bristol, telegraphed to Trenton for
the owner Afew minutes after the despatch
was received at Trenton the owner called at
the office and was greatly relieved to hear that
her purse had fallen into safe hands. The
owner was Mrs. Cooper, wife of Capt Cooper,
of PhilIipsburg, who was on visit to the camp
at Trenton, where the Captain now is with his
company.

A Mistakc.-We have received the follow
ing in reply to an article that appeared in our
last issue, and willingly give it an insertion, as
we are anxious that no one should be misrep-
resented through our columns
Mr. EDITOR II saw in your issue Of the
present week, little mistake, which appears to
have been made by Madam Rumor, in charging
"secesher' with pitching the goods Of o Mr..
Union out of house which he had recently
rent ed of "Secesher" Now "Secesher" thinks
that Mr.. Editor had better discharge this Mad
am Rumor which no has in his employ, and try
to get one that reports more correctly; yet
since she did mistake, 6eeesher' thinks it q
very harmless little blunder. Now Madam, not
charging you with intentional falsehood, yet
the charges, as con be sufficiently proven, are
utterly groundess. 1t true, that I did rent
to Mr.. Union, and he is still the occupant Of my
house; never pitched his goods out of the house
nor neveri thought of it. Mr.. Union talked of
going to the war, and did say to him that it
was inconsistant for him to release himself from
the union which existed between himself and
Mrs. Union, so contrary to her feelings and
wishes, and leaving her at time when she
was the least fit to be left. So instead of Mr..
Union leaving for the wars as reported, he has
found 1t more congenial to his feelings to embark
in one of the occupations which his neighbor-
hood produces And now, Mr.. Editor, be-
lieve, and think you will agree with me, that
it is the duty of editors to correct errors and
expose falsehoods, consequently shall insist on
your giving this place in your paper.

Queer."-A few days since an "Old
soldier" as he termed himself, came into our
city and meeting one of our citizent very po-
ltely asked him to give him a few pennies to
purchase loaf of bread. The gentleman very
willingly gave him half dime, when the g old
soldier after thanking him kindly moved on.
But not to the Bakers, however, as he was sud-
denly seen to immerge into one of cur saloons
On being accOsted by the grateful bestower of
the half dime, who reached the saloon just in
time to see him smacking bis lips over his bev-
erage, if that was the place where he bought
his bread, replied "No sir, but finding had
bread enough, thought would wash it down
with little Old Apple" Pretty sharp that.

Struck by Lightning During the storm
on Tuesday evening last, the barn on the farm
occupied by John T. Conover, short distance
above Clinton, was struck by lightning, and
was, together with the entire contents, and out
