DEER HUNrING.--We mentioned last week
that party from Frenchtown had returned
from deer hunting trip to Virginia. The
Press gives the following particulars A few
weeks ago Messrs. Ishmael Brink, Chas. Stull,
Thos. Bancroft and Dewitt Matthews, of this
place, started for ''deer hunt in Virginia.
They visited the neighborhood of Williamsburg,
Va, where now reside several of our towns
people, N. d. Williams and family, p. Y.
Lowe and w. A Person, with their families, all
of whom they fonnd snugly quartered, and
then proceeded to make themselves at home
with them. The object of the party as we
have said was "deer hunting" and they sue
ceeded in bringing several down. The first
few days of the hunt was idle, after that they
became accustomed to the run of things and
seldom missed fire. They report four deer as
the proceeds of one days sport, very unusual
number for 'old hands y to bring in. After
enjoying themselves to their hearts content,
they started for this place, where they arrived
on Thursday evening last. They brought with
them several deer Mr. Brink secured n live
one about seven months old, which is now the
object of attraction for our townspeople.

Al Cassatt, F. w. jackson, A. WEIGH and
Col. Buckalew, Of the railroad, and Mr.. Wister,
of the canal arrived here on Saturday, after a
visit to Amboy, where the company want
greater facilities for their freight business,
especially coal. It's thought that the coal will
be deposited on the hill, as it is called, and
then carried to the wharyes by a gravity rail
road. The company are making every facility
to accommodate the increasing trade which
has sprung up. 1t is at least one-half greater
than when they leased the road, and it is con-
stantly on the increase. Where this trade or
the road itself win be in 900 years, is problem
which no man can solve.-Irenton Gazette.

FLEET WING.-The members of the Fleet
Wing Hook and Ladder Co. are making ar
rangements to give two of their Parlor Enter
tainments in Lyceum Hall, ON the evenings
of the eth and 2Sth of this month Mr.. G.
II. w. Vansciver has charge of. the work, and
we predict pleasant time for those who will
favor them with their presence. This Com
pany have ever been active and energetic, and
have contributed largely to the amusement
of our citizens, and those who have attended
their concerts heretofore have always got the
worth of the money invested. They need
funds to enable them to complete their build
ing. We believe there is no city in the State
of New Jersey where the fremen have done
so much to build up good fire department at
their own expense as in Lambertville. 1t is
true that the city has contributed occasionally,
but not in proportion to the number engaged
in the service Most of the members of our
fire department have no property, or very lit
tie, to lose, in case of fire. and they cannot re-
ceive too much credit for what they have DONE
All honor to them! and when they appealfor
aid, let the citizens cheerfully respond.

Mr. EDITOR 1T seems we have the Horse
Disease, or Epizoopy, among us, as might
have been expected. In consequence, there is
a great rush at treatment of some kind. In
the absence of positive knowledge of what is
best to do would suggest that common sense
be consulted freely. Thoroughly clean and
well-ventiated stables, rest and light, digesti-
BILE feed, if appetite does not fail entirely, it
seems to me, cannot be otherwise than good
Too much covering, and above all, foolish,
and worse than foolish use of all manner of
disinfectants, and bad smelling stuff, to the ex-
tent of poisoning the air of the stables, must
be bad, HYGIENE.

e5g One evening last week a party was
given in the Third Ward The refreshments
were secured in the second story. and every
thing appeared to pass off pleasantly until
the time the refreshments were wanted, when
it was found that they were among the miss
ing Our informant says that while they were
proceeding with the dance, some ladies pro-
cured ladder, and placing it at the back
window, succeeded in obtaining the good
things, which they removed to the back of the
premises in an open field, and there served
them up. The reason assigned for this mean
act is that the parties engaged were sighted
in not having an invitation, and took this plan
of being revenged. In this case revenge must
have been saoeet.

AS soon as election is over the temperance
men intend to revive the cause by series of
meetings all over the State At the recent
meeting of the Grand Division there was a
larger attendance and a more lively spirit than
has been seen for number of years, and the
determination then was to commence the
aggressive movement as soon as possible. The
ANNUAL meeting of the Grand Division will he
held in January, and in the interim meetings
will be held frequently in all the counties in the
State. The prospect of gaining large Access
sions to their ranks is said to be quite encour

For TIE RECORD.
Mr.. EDITOR In your issue of Oct. 10Th /
find a report given of Democratic meeting
held at Sergeantsville, Oct. 9th, which was
addressed by Rev. gentleman, Minister Of
the Gospel, and an Hon. Ex-Member of Con
gress. OF the merits or dement's of the meet
ing we have nothing to say, but we think that
some of the structures respecting the Rev. gen
tleman are altogether gratuitous. The re-
porter says :" the vast crowd deeply sympa-
thized with the Rev. gentleman when they
remembered how he had labored as a land
Speculation" Let us look at this land specu-
lation. We are told that he "bought farm
after farm to keep up real estate activity"
When the Rev. gentleman moved into the
neighborhood, like every other kind father he
felt anxious to have his children settle near
him he accordingly bought about 100 acres
in all, and placed his sons upon them, but
they, like many other children, not satisfied
to stay in one place, he sold out and one part
he sold TO an aged man at sacrifice of two
hundred dollars, so that he and his companion
and family could live near the sanctuary,
where they might enjoy its droppings in their
declining days. Noble Spectator in real es-
tate Would some more of our moneyed mer,
and ministers, too, who get from ten to twenty
thousand dollars per year salary, would do
likewise. So much for this land speculation,
but which was evidently designed by this re-
porter to make the impression that his sole
object in buying and selling was to make mo-
ney-a serious reflection. Again, we are told
that they remembered how he had labored
from Sabbath to Sabbath proclaiming from
the sacred desk the truths as he understands
them, the principal truth to their minds being
his declaration, made i'll his pulpit, that Jesus
Christ was a true Democrat. Yet we are
told that, "many at that meeting had never
heard minister preach except on funeral oc-
casions." Quite compliment to many in
that assembly. They must be rather more
than human to know what was taught. And
just here, | will go farther than this Rev. gen
tleman, and say believe that all Christ's fol-
lowers are true Democrats, let them belong to
either party-they both love their country
they only differ in respect to men and measures
concerning it, in that since the Rev. gentleman
meant that Jesus Christ was with respect to
his manhood true Democrat. Whether the
expression was called for or not, there is no
one, unless he designed to make capital out
of it, would ever remember it to tell it again.
And just here will say that have sat under
this gentleman's ministry for over nine years.
at two different intervals, and | never heard
the gospel preached more ably and more fully
by any man, and quite as little said ON politics
in the pulpit and | consider tie Esaa Caat
