made of putting republican ticket in

he was unable TO 90 to the polls on cleo
uon day. When the returns were pub
lisbcd, Mr.. Green had lust one rot,
Chagrined at this, and annoyed by the
accusation that he had voted for himself,
he announced that ifthc person who
had voted for him would come forward
aud make affidavit TO the fact, he would
reward him with a good suit of clotbe.
\ few mornings afterward. "a burly
putchman called upon Mr.. Green. and
abruptly remarked:

PARADISE LosT.-We are pleased to learn
that Mr.. Mcdonald has decided to exhibit his
" Nlitonian Tableau of Paradise Lost" in
this city, commencing on Christmas night and
continuing during the week. This painting
is not cheap daub, requiring lot of per-
formers in connection with it in order to draw.
1t is fine work of art, painted by some of
the most distinguished artists of England, and
appeals to persons of refinement and to the
Christian public; while it cannot fail to in
terest all who have any taste for the grand
and beautiful. 1t is highly recommended by
Sturgeon; and Rev. 7. L. Cuyler, of Brook
lyn, says of it: 81 have been delighted with
Paradise Lost, and have not ihesitated to
urge all my congregation to witness it.

FIRE.-A bright light was seen in the direc-
ton of Milford on Saturday evening last,
which proved to be the burning of a barn and
crops belonging to Mr.. zimmerman, who
lives about one mile distant from Milford, on
the Little York road. We understand that
the fire was the work of an incendiary. Sus-
picious parties were seen prowling about the
premises.-Freachtoaon Press, Dec. H.
The Independent gives tile following addi-
tional particulars Between Little York and
Milford, the barn of Mr.. d. II. A,nerman, to
gether with barracks and out-buildings, in-
Guiding grain, corn &C., were burned on Sat-
urday evening last. The fire commenced in
the barraek near the barn. Mr.. Amerman
was ON the Grand Jury this term, and spoke
his mind freely in reference to the Irish riot
ers. Mr.. Matthews and Mr.. Pickle, who were
cunning in the hollow, back of Mr.. Amerman's
returning about dark, saw stranger along
the fence, whom they hailed, and received no
reply. This was undoubtedly the person who
applied the match. There was but $500 in
surance on the whole.

THE RAILROAD TO New HoPE.-Consider-
able interest has been excited in New Hope
by the survey now being made for the pro-
posed extension of the Doylestown Railroad
to that Borough. The Surveyors have reached
the Borough line. The route now being sur
veyed, we are told, strikes across one corner
of the Beaumont Deer Park, runs down the
valley to the rear of the residence of Richard
E. Ely and thence north-easterly past the resi-
dence of Oliver Paxson to Rabbit Run, above
New Hope. The citizens of New Hope are
quite anxious that this route should be chosen
in preference to the upper route, which was
surveyed some time ago. as the latter route
place. We understand that, in order to in
duce the Company to select the lower route,
A. j. Beaumont, J. S. Belts, r. E. Ely, G. w.
Hufnagle and others, offer as a free gift their
lands over which the road may run. This
shows earnestness and enterprise.
We trust the Company will choose the low
er route, both for its own interest and for that
of the people of New Hope. By this route,
visitors from Philadelphia could be set down
at the Deer Park gates, and excursions to it
would be more numerous than if the road ran
a mile or more away from it. Then, too it is.
hardly to be expected that the people of New
Hope will patronize road if located without
any reference to their convenience and wants,
as it would be if the upper survey is chosen
On the subject of the proposed road, the
Bucks Co. Iatelhgencer gives the following:
''The railroad surveyors between Doyles-
town and the Delaware have been availing
themselves of the pleasant weather to COM
plete the location of the line as far as possible.
1t seems to be settled that it will not vary
much from that surveyed some years ago. 1t

A SMART LITTLE GIRL.-Little Jennie John
son, daughter of Mr.. Geo. r. johnson, of
Wertsville, having heard so much talk about
what some of the big girls had been doing in
the corn husking way this fall, thought that she
would try her hand at the business. So she
went out into the field, threw off her shawl
and mittens, grabbed hold of the husking pin
with will, and whether you believe it or not

of corn And Miss Jennie is under years of

not a member of the Order, spoke in glowing
terms of it. He said he had watched it for
some time, and was satisfied that it was doing
vast amount of good. Some very excellent
music by the Quartette Club helped the exer-
cses to pass off pleasantly. After the dedica-
ton, the members and friends were invited to
the room below, where a bounteous supply of
good things was provided, and those who
wished had the privilege of gripping the light
fantastic toe.'' The room is handsomely

new carpets, sofas chairs, &c. The lights are
colored in different parts of the room to repre-
sent the colors of the Order. There are five
Lodges in Trenton at the present time, all in
