HousEs NEEDEp.--We learn that small
houses are in great demand in this city, and
the supply is not at all adequate. We heard
two gentlemen remark, a day or two since,
that they each had had over twenty applica-
tions within week for small houses, renting
from 500 to 1925. In all probability, if forty
or fifty such dwellings were erected, they could
all be rented the present spring.
Our city gives no evidence of standing STILL
It's growth appears to be regular and healthy,
and those who have predicted that it had about
reached the stopping point, are proved to be
false prophets. gM Is m

TEMPERANCE MEETING AT STOCKTON.
very interesting temperance meeting was held
at the Baptist Church, in Stockton, on Mon
day evening last. Rev. Mr.. Walton, pastor
of the M. Z. Church of Lambertville, was
present, and addressed the meeting. The
congregation was very attentive while the
speaker gave his views upon the leading
features of the temperance question at the
present day. An opportunity was given at
the close Of the meeting for those favoring the
organization of Good Templar's Lodge, to
petition the Grand Lodge for char,es for a
lodge in the village of Stockton. 1t is ex-
pected that lodge will soon be organized,
and every friend of temperance in Stoc ton
and vicinity will have an opportunity to show
his or her colors. W.

Mrs. Lydia Sherman, the great Connecticut

the pretty village of Lebanon-then called
Jacksonvile--in the employ of the Rev. Mr..
Van Amburgh, who was then, as he is now, a
highly esteemed minister in the Reformed
Church. There she certainly got none of those
traits of character which have since made her

W On last Sunday evening, church-goers
found it difficult to grope their way to and
from service, owing to the darkness. We I'M
derstand that the lamp-lighters supposed that
there was a moon somewhere, and hence did
not light up. Even if there were, the clouds
obscured the light to such an extent as to
make gas-light desirable. For some reason
our lamp-lighters do not appear to recognize
the fact that young moons go to bed early and
take their light along with them, and that
consequently, when a young moon is far down
the western horizon, as it is cary in the eve
ming, its rays, feeble at best, are obstructed
by buildings, &C., and afford no light to the
traveller along our pavements. When to this
is added cloudy sky, the inconvenience is
considerably aggravated. Messrs. Lamp-light-
ers, please keep your lamps burning or else
have the moon hung up where travellers can
see it.

FIRE AT CLAREMoNT.-The dwell

Deane, in Claremont, N. H., were de-
stroyed by fire on Sunday night last.
The loss is some $4,000. The fire broke
out at near IL o'clock, after the family
had all retired and most of the contents
of the building were consumed, includ.
ing quantity of tobacco raised last
year. He was insured for $4,000. No
insurance on the tobacco. The origin
of the fire appears to have been in pig
pen in the rear of the house.
