Brief Mention.
- Madigan's Great Circus Com.
pany will exhibit in this place on the
afternoon and evening of Tuesday
next. See Adv.
- The present shad season does
not promise to be q very profitable
affair, just at present, as the "run is
somewhat slow
Daring the last few days,
since our Volunteers have been in
Trenton, that place has been visited
by large number Of our citizens.
The Beacon says a team of
horses belonging to Mr. John Kugler,
residing near Baptisttown, ran away
last week, and a valuable horse was
fatally injured.
- While riding down the Bel
Del r. r few days since we no.
ticed a couple of patriotic farmers
blowing, with small American flags
flying from the heads of their horses.
A good Blacksmith, who I'M
derstands horse shoeing or light car
rage work, can obtain q permanent
situation, by applying to ]. Stnll Esq,
at Frenchtown, pear the Depot.
- Trenton wears the appearance
of a military camp. From almost
every house flags are flying, while the
the constant m8rchflg Of companies
an the inspiring sound of the fife and
drum forces upon he visitor the fact
that war is indeed upon us.
THE farmers throughout the
county, Notwithstanding the WAR eX
element, arc now bnsily engaged in
preparing their grounds for the sum-
mer crops. There never was time
when extensive and careful farming
was more necessary than at present.
r. G. Fiuck, ESQ.,, of the
American Hotel, Frenchtovn, on Fri
day morning, lost his pocket book, be-
tween Frenchtown, and the stone
church, containing about one hundred
dollars Mr. Fluck would be delight
ed to have the same returned to him,
and will pay reward of ten dollars
to the person returning il.
THE persons who have enrolled
their names on the roll left at the
store of Mr. Charles Schulhaus, at the
corner of Church and Union streets,
are requested to meet on this (Wed
nesday) evening, at the Council
Chamber, at s O'Clock. A full atten-
dance is desired.
- The Doylestown Democrat
says -" A decayed politician named
Jonty Pickel, of Hunterdon county,
proclaiming secession sentiments, was
properly ordered to leave Easton, or
else be coated with tar and feathers"
For the sake of the reputation Of
"Old Hunterdon," we hope that the
Democrat has been misinformed. Mr.
Pickel has enjoyed the confidence of
the citizens of Hunterd,n county for
many years, and should the above
story be true, he may fatter himself
that his pr litical career has come t,
sudden termination.
The War News.
1t is impossible for us to record in
detail everything that is passing
throughout the country in regard to
the preparations for war, and we must
be satisfied with giving, and hope our
readers win be, with the most impor-
tant and latest news, Our whole
population is alive with patriotic de-
votion to the Government and Union
of the Fathers, and to picture accur-
ately the activity and feeling every
where displayed would infinitely occu-
py more time and space than we can
command 1t is enough for our vim
dication abroad, to state the general
fact, and it is one that no sister state
which remembers the loyalty of the
Jersey Blues in '76 will for a nom mt
doubt.
Sign of the Season.
Spring has set in sunshine and
showers prevail verdure is budding
forth, men are shedding their overcoats
and ladies their furs, velVets, hats and
long cloak The spring styles are all
out, and most every body'out in them
Coats iun immensely to tails and there
is a small show for pants treadine
on q mans coat tails is no longer
fgurative, as if men were anxious for
Donnybrook provocation to fight
The ladies styles are as resplendan1
and indescribable as ever Red pre-
dominates, as Mars is in the ascen liant
and the lurid clouds of war lower ovel
the horizon. The thermometer il
creeping up daily, and slight exertior
will develop Precipitation the trees
are preparing for the diet of worms
and no remedy for the nuisance has
yet been provided Spring is here
and summtr is coming; take note and
act accordingly.
