AZ occurred where persons have sent arti-
Giles from the Island to be re aired, dyed or
the like, and have had to pay full duty on
their reimportation, resulting from said ar
ticles not having been shown at the Gus
tomhouse, it will in future be necessary,
in order to avoid the recurrence of the like,
that all articles sent from this to any For
eign place, st. Thomas included, and, after
having been repaired or otheru Use, to be
returned, must at this expectation be- shown

the identity of the articles. without which
full duty will be demanded at their inlpor-

they expect brakes Zouaves to be here

nsS~ A new and interesting custom
in connection with the holidays is for
friends to exchange photographs every
New Years day, that the gradual
changes of time may be noticed in the
faces of the loved ones from year to
year. There is melancholy gratif-
cation in this idea, and the custom will
doubtless become general. Frank Fl.
Price, 1876 Broad street, is our best art
list for this purpose, as we have found
out upon repeated trials.

REV.. DIR. M'CosH's LECTURE
brilliant and intelligent audience per-
haps as much SO as ever greeted any
lecturer in this city, assembled last eve
ming at the Second Presbyterian church
to hear and welcome the learned and
distinguished President of Princeton
College.
The Rev. Dr., after well-put intro
duction by the efficient President of the
Young Mems Christian Association, an
nounced his subject" The Associa-
ton of Ideas ON the Laws of Thought. J"
AS was expected, the subject was
handled with mastery ability, perhaps
some points too deliberately drawn out
His illustrations drawn from science
and art, from nature and humanity,
were well timed and apt. Some passA-
ges of his discourse were eloquent as
pictures of word power. We could but
regret that the lecturer was so absolute
ly tied to his manuscript with his
Scotch idiom, occasioning at the close
of his sentences something like a
drawl, which is by no means objection
al, but rather charms the listener, we
have no doubt that in his extempora-
neous efforts, the Doctor gives you no
time to notice national peculiarities.
After the effort of last evening we
are prepared to say that whenever DIR.
M'Cosh shall visit this city in public
or private capacity, most hearty greet
ing awaits him.
After the close of the lecture levee
was held at the house of Rev. VIM. G.
Roberts, where large number of per-
sons paid their respects to the distin-
guished lecturer of the evening. The
whole affair gave the fullest satisfaction,
and we bespeak for the Young Mems
Christian Association public support,
while thus they cater for the intellec-
tual advancement and elevation of Eli
zabeth, in furnishing for their lectures
food for thought.

Bfsg~ The Dist of this month will be
the shortest day Of the year. A short
time after that the days will begin to
lengthen again, and in the course of
time bring us genial suns to warm the
earth into beauty and smiles. 1t seems
but very brief period since we were
sweltering amidst the sultry heats of
of the summer, with people dropping
down and expiring about us, from its
terrible effects 1t will be but a very
brief period before we shall be amidst
them again, and few of these brief
periods make up the sum of human life.

stay'" We are now having regular
break up in the weather. The streams
are swollen with the melting SHOWS and
the rain, the ice is leaving the river
and the creek, and the sun yesterday
shown in genial, spring like way,
through the murky haze that mellowed
the face of the country. 1t would not
be surprising if every vestige of the
short, sharp spell of winter we have
had, were obliterated before the season
again settled down to it's earnest work
of freezing and showing.

aeA- Let us have Velocipede in
this city. We are behind the times.
They have one in Camden, the propie-
tor goes rushing through the streets like
a monster spider. These contrivances
are undoubtedly destined become to
popular in this country and we might
as we'll start in time. Can't some inge-
NOUS Jerseyman improve upon the frog
eating Frenchman's invention ? Our
citizens have more new patents than
other State for its population and there
ought to be Velocipede genius
among them.

seA. Yesterday afternoon little son
Of Capt. George W. Tubbs, while ven
turing too far on newly frozen ice at
Harris Pond, broke through and sank
twice. The cries of his playmates
brought his assistance a colored man,
who threw his coat to the little fellow,
by which means he was saved from a
watery grave. The colored man nobly
periled his own life in this act, and re-
ceived the warmest thanks of the boys
who witnessed the heroic deed.
