A correspondent Of the London AMrnaeuDs
writes from Jerusalem, July 24,h: The ex'
cavs.ions in search Of antiquities in Moab
have proved surprisingly successful. At,out
ak hundred objects in carthcnware jars.
lamps. figures Of men and animals. inscrib.
cd slabe, etc, have been safely lodged in
Jerusalem. Many Of these are Of the high.
est interest. One Of the most striking il the
figure of calf. nearly life size, in sitting
posture, and with hole in the back, appar-
emily to burn incense in. There is no in.
scriptiou upon this figure, but another calf's
head, of smaller size, is placed upright up>
on IN ear,hen disc. which has some letters
inscribed upon it. The Jars are Of large
size. and somewhat rude construction, and
are principally valuable for the writing
with which they are covered.
The characters are, in some instances,
stamped (sOme stamps in cartbenware have
been fOund) in others engraved with sharp
instrument, whilst third kind 10 in strong
relief, and may have been moclded, or, NJ
appears to bc the case with one Of the
lamps, first formed In wet clay and then
stack on. 1t seems also that some Of these
raised characters have been formed by
scraping away the surrounding clay-s
work requiring much skill and paticncs
where the inscription 10 copious and the
characters crowded. The letters IRE chiefly
PhGnician others resemble "Nabathean,
and others again ore of forms not previously
known here
The human figures are very numerous
some are surmised to represent Aoloch
having . cavity in the spacious abdomen
and hollow place, perhaps for fire, under
meath. But the most remarkable, and in
some respects the most interesting. of thcs,
antiquities, are the Phsllic e,nblcms. Som.
of these are Of very unmistaksble charsc
ter.
It's, perhaps fortunate, 60 far - the re-
covery of these valuable antiquities 10 con
cerued, that the American Exploring Ex
petition has been delayed, 1t being certain
that no such party, however small ant
modestly equipped, can enter Moab withou
attracting the attention and exciting tn,
cupidity of the Sheikhs, and putting stoI
to oil useful search for inscriptions, &C. /
is reported that there are 1t present nearl,
hundred Arabs employed in digging fo
antiquities. Each man works upon hi
own account, and il paid only for what h
finds.

"G'lang there, you dog.goned sheep!"
bswled dusty, Pike county. looking fellow
this forenoon on Walnut street, - he whirl'
ed long whip around his head with vic.
ious crack.
The Pike was rusty fellow, al covered
with dust, and consumed with anxiety in
safely conducting his flock of thirty sheep
through the city. Two little blue. jcaned
boys, ,owhcadcd and dirty, danced on ahead
TO look out for corners.
In front of the flock lightly walked trim
looking ram, whose head looked - II built
for business, aud his countenance betrayed
. look Of injured dignity, as II he were
spelling for fight He looked carefully to
the right and left, rs II he were seeking out
some one to give him the faintest show Of .
quarrel.
The Pike county man watched the leader
with concern. He said, II reckon that yer
dog. ram 10 gong 70 raatc Ned ct he
only gets chance, but bust mo ef ! give
him that yer chance. Shoe! 0'laug there.
Look out boys, around them ger corners."
The procession Of sheep went along oil
right until they reached the front of Milo
@. Didos 4 Co.'S big safe institution, and
here the ram caught sight of his reflection
In the large plate glass window Of the store.
The ram DOW saw bis victim; he described
circle to the sidewalk on the opposite side,
jumped up, then lowered his head and
charged.
"Oh, that dog goned ram, he will raise
Ned now" mosned the Pike, who was too
far away to stop the charge.
The ram went like fash to the sidewalk
and then bounded up some eight feet 10 the
cir, and went crash through the plate glass,
shivcring tho window intoa thousand pieces.
After him came every one Of the flock.
The inmates of the elegant store suddenly
found their quarters turned into = stock
yard. A belligerent ram, followed by 80
sheep, to come boiling through plate glass

Us Col Robert Hamilton, Democratic can
didate for Congress- and Hon. John r. Bird
spoke at Holcombe Hall last evening. Not
having been present, we are unable to report
any particulars. Speakers must be scarce
when the Democracy have Mr.. Bird two Mon
day nights in succession. Whether he made
the same speech both nights we do not know
certainly he might be excused if he did, for
there is precious little to say; but we venture
to remark that if he had wanted variety he
might have had it by reading the letters he
wrote against Greeley up to the time of his
nomination at Baltimore, In those letters he
predicted disastrous consequences to the party
if Greeley were nominated. Now, he predicts
success and praises where he condemned. Was
he honest then? IF he was, how can he justify
his present position? However, there is no
limit to the extent which a simon-pure Demo-
GRAFT will eat dirt at the crack of the party
whip.
We learn from persons who were present
that Mr.. Hamilton's address was an ante
deluvian affair, and exceedingly dry. He
talked about the resolutions of 49," .Jeffer-
son, Madison, etc, with a free sprinklng of
"nigger," and was apparently oblivious to the
fact that all things had become new - in the
last ten years.

G8- Thomas Hartpence, of this place, had
twelve nice chickens stolen from his roost last
Wednesday night. Isaac Suydam, neighbor
night. Chickens should roost high these
nights, for Grant men are about. We do not
say that every Grant man is & chicken thief.
but every chicken thief is a Grant man, 'Rah
for Grant.
The above is from the Hunterdon Democrat,
paper that last week took us to do for being
abusive Now we most respectfully dis
sent from the assertion that .severy chicken
thief is Grant man" and we offer as rebuff
ting evidence some choice extracts from the
pen of the Democratic candidate for President
He is commended by the Democrats as a man
of truth and honesty, and this evidence of the
"good Horace" must therefore be taken as
settling the matter. He knows Democracy,
and he says -
ave thereupon asked our contemporary to
state frankly whether the pugilists blacklegs,
thieves, burglars, keepers of dens of prostitu-
ton, &C., &c, We're not almost unanimously
Democrats. "-Horace Greeley.
ga purely selfish interest attaches the lewd,
ruffianly, criminal and dangerous classes to
the Democratic Party. '-Horace Greeley.

sive of any other verlnin, for every Democratic
couch in the State of New York, including
those at Sing Sing and Auburn. Horace

For THE RECORD
Mr.. EDITOR The cry started by some of
the heightened (?) opponents of V. II. Math-
ews, that the Penna. r. r. Company was in
terested in having him defeated as n candidate
for the Legislature in this District, and that
money had been scattered by said company for
the purpose of carrying the caucus in favor of
Voorhees,, | believe to be wicked falsehood,
made up out of the whole cloth, in order to
force railroad employees to vote for the candi-
date which these Shiny politicians wished nomi-
mated.
Now for proof that such assertions are fal Sc
i know from source which is unqueston-
ably reliable, that the officers of the Penna.
r. r. have been approached by politicians for
assistance in order to carry elections in favor
of the Company, and they have invariably re-
fused
What need is there of the General Superin-
tendent issuing circulars to all the shops under
his supervision, forbidding any master mechan-
ic, gang boss or any one else, who has laborers
or mechanics under his charge, in any way to
interfere with the elective franchise of any in
dividual in their employ? 1t is well to bring
this matter before the people, but more especi-
ally the voters of this city, who are more i'm
mediately concerned in this matter, because
politicians have even gone so far as to threaten
some of them in the name of the p. r. r. all
sorts of things if they did not vote as directed.
Voters, be not deceived this thing was hatch
ed out by men who are, perhaps, honorable in
everything else, but In politics nothing is too
.ow or dishonorable for them.

Democrat at large public meeting of Demo-
Gratis, six weeks ago, in this city, that I" it was
well known that Voorhees, vote could be in
fluenced on almost any question, if proper
Inducements were held out" We think these
were the very words used-at any rate, they
represent the sentiment uttered. 1t met with
no eondemnation-no eontradietion-when ut
tered Is it so? And can any honest man
who thus believes, now vote for Voorhees,?
If the nomination of a man, irrespective of
character makes it obligatory upon Democrats
to support him, then the party has higher
claims than the moral law.

POS SCRIPT.
ACCIDENT ON THE BELYlDEGE DIVISION PER-
SMASH UP OF COAL TRnINs!


Atabout half-past three this Tuesday after
noon, down coal train, loaded, drawn by the
" Mahoning," Samuel Bachman, engineer, and
an empty coal train up drawn by the " Alex
sauken," Hutchinson johnson, engineer col
lded about mile below this city. The con-
cussion was terrific, nearly destroying the
Aleksauken and seriously injuring the Mahon-
ing, and throwing large number of the loaded
and empty cars into the canal and over the
river bank, as well as piling up the track with
the broken cars. One of the braxemen, named
Saml. Hall, jumped into the canal and swan
across it. The other brakemen and engineers
jumped out on the side of the track or down
the river embankment, and none sustained any
injury. 1t is estimated that from forty to
fifty cars were smashed up, and large quanti-
ties of coal were scattered and dumped into
the canal and river The accident was caused
by the down train being out of its time OF
course no trains could pass, and large gangs of
men were Immediately set to work to clear
away the debris. The trains were delayed
considerably in exchanging passengers from
side to side
The loss will amount, doubtless to several
thousands of dollars.

DEMOCRACY AND GAs.--The Democracy of
Pennington recently held two meetings in the
Court House, at each of which the gas refused
to burn. They pretend to intimate that the
pipes were tempered with, and their organ
even insinuates that Mr.. ]. c. Hopewell, Supt.
of the Gas Company, is a party to it. Those
who know Mr.. Hopewell, need not to be told
that he is above so mean an action.
There is nothing strange about it at all. The
e eternal fitness of things" required that
party that e loves darkness rather than light,
because their deeds are evil" should meet
under appropriate circumstances, and the affair
is capable of scientific solution. All dead or
decomposing bodies throw off carbonic acid
gas, and this gas is destroyer of combustion.
Put the dead and decomposing Democracy and
gas lights together, therefore, and the result is
inevitable.

FACTS, PICKED Uf HERE AND THERE

Lambertville, Oct. % 1i72
Mr.. EDITOR Improvements have been
made i'll laying new pavements in several of
our streets, and it is certainly credit to these
having the same done. But of all the streets
in this city, Delevan is the most miserable
tidewalxs torn up here and there, with holes
almost large enough to bury you in. And at
night, it is hardly safe to travel in Poorly
lighted, up hill and down you go, every mo-
2ment expecting to break your neck. We adj
wise our 'sCity Fathers" to take stroll through
Delevan street some night, and after that we
think something will "bc did"
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted at the last meeting of the s'Uncles,"
at the corner one afternoon last week, g Uncle
Pony in the chair -
RESOLVED That while we despise the name
of Horace Greeley, the principles of Horace
Greeley, and old Horace Greeley himself, we
feel it our duty as lifelong Democrats, and for
the love we bear our detested country, to
pledge ourselves to the .'good and great
Horace" and do hereby resolve to vote for
him, to help him, and to give our aid in elect
ing him to the office of Prcsident-in other
words, we "swallow him."
1t is not necessary for ambitious young men
to fire Ephesian domes now in order to have
their names handed down to posterity. In
fact, Bill, jim, or any one else, rich or poor,
can raise themselves from obscurity with such
a sudden jerk that it will almost take their
breath away, and with precious little trouble,
too. All that is necessary for any one to do
who is ambitious of fame, is to announce that
he is 'Liberal " and can't go Grant. In a
twinklng the Greeley papers will dub him
Hon." s'Judge," or "General,' tone of
the most influential and talented citizens, :"
"among the leading men of the State,'' "a
man for whom the greatest honors are re-
served, ETC., and herald his name with praises
from one END of the land to the other. Who
will refuse to be made famous on these cheap
terms?

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

NM EDITOR We recently gave you some
things that we had observed in and around
the Public School buildings on the hill, and
we now propose to give you more in reference
to what we have observed since writing the
former communication. One day last week we
were in the vicinity of the school buildings
and heard the old bell laundering out its peals
to notify the pupils that the time for play was
past and the hour for study had arrived, and
such scampering as there was with the little
folks is seldom ever seen except about the
school buildings. In a short time, where all
had been life and merriment it was silent as
DEATH and we presume that the opening ex-
solemnity and propriety. But we are of the
opinion that the teachers must be greatly an
noyed at what we think is a great evil, namely,
that we observed about twenty pupils were
from ten to forty minutes late. Why this
state of things exists is more than we can tell,
detained at home for the purpose of doing er-
rands for their parents, or else they had been
playing along the streets. Now, sir, we are
not going to find fault with anybody at pre-
sent, but somebody is to blame for this state
of things--ether the Principal, the teachers
OF. trustees.
We also observed some of the teachers going
at the ringing of the last bell, and if we are
rightly informed, it is one of the rules adopt
ed by the Principal, or by the trustees, that
all teachers shall be at their posts at the RING.
ing of the first bell. IF this is true, we think
they should set the example, and others will
follow. CITIZEN.
