A SOLDIERS MONUMENTAL movement has been
tpt city IN
erection OF o monument to commemorate and
eternize the bravery and patriotism or such OF the
Trentonians as sacrificed their lives IN the late

are a number OF masons and their attendants
also disempoyed, owing to the severity of the
weather. Many OF tue potterles, too have begun TO
run half time this week, and II Is positively stated
that before many days elapse the majority OF them
will suspend operations completely. These estab

lapse IN thier trade. The pottery warehouses
are crammed with material, for which there Is
scarcely any demand; but the proprietors may In q

stubborn resistance 10 the demands or their
ployes for an equality in the rates OF payment
which refusal resulted IN an idle summer. and

successful opportunity 10 outstrlp them In their
business and secure q large amount Of American
patronage which was heretofore enjoyed by our
