CHRISTMAS AT THE RUBBER Factory
The Lambertville Manufacturing Co., through
their Agent, Warren A. Green, Esq, gave
each of its employees present on Christmas
They were offered their choice of a gift from
selected list of newspapers and magazines
or turkey for Christmas dinner. The
choice resulted as follows 80 for turkeys
Is for magazines, and s for newspapers. The
literary and gastronomic tastes of the en-
ployees seem to be in about the usual ratio
There are four persons employed in the estab-
lishment who have shown their good Judgment
by selecting THE RECORD as a present.
This action on the part of the Company is
creditable to it; and serves to bind en-
ployer and employed together in ties of friend
ly feeling.

COURT PRocEEpINas.--The Court of Oyer
and Terminer and General Jail Delivery con-
vened again ON Monday, Dec. 23d, for the
purpose of disposing of several indictments
which were set down for trial on that day
On the opening of the Court the Chief-Justice
delivered his opinion in regard to the indict-
ments for murder against the men indicted for
the killing of the negroes at Pattenburg, the
substance of which was given in our last ISSUE
The indictment against Stephen Peer was
then moved. Stephen is an old offender, and
has been before the Court two or three times.
He was charged this time with stealing gun
from the house of a man by the name of Beav-
ers, in the township of Tewksbury. The
State called two or three witnesses to prove
the taking, and subsequently, the finding of
the gun in the possession of Peer. The de-
Tense called no witnesses, and the case went
to the jury, which rendered verdict of guilty
of grand larceny. Stephen was sentenced
to the State Prison, at hard labor, for the
term of nine months
The next case was the State vs.. Theodore
Cruise and Amos Congro. These parties, two
ed for making anatrocious assault and battery
upon William Wambaugh, in the township of
East Amwell, and during the melee Wambaugh
suffered rather severely, being knocked down
by some one with a gun, and still carrying
the marks of the blow. From the evidence it
appeared that the real aggressor was William
Wambaugh, he having raised knife over the
r Al. 4 oil
ton they were obliged to resort to force. The
Chief-Justice charged that if the jury believed
the statements of the defendants, and that
Wambaugh was the aggressor, they must
acquit !; but if they believed that the defend
ants were the assailants they were guilty OF
the offence for which they stood charged.
The jury returned verdict of not guilty
Chamberlin for State Allen for defendants
The last case tried was the State VS.. John
Council, who was indicted for an assault and
battery upon q young man named George Ga
no. The parties live at the junction, and on the
night of November 4th, at political meeting,
young Gano was taken for man by the name
Of Maxield, against whom some persons had
a grudge, and in the melee Connolly happening
to get mixed in the crowd, and by the testi-
mony of little boy, who says he was the
person who struck Gano, was convicted by
the jury for assault and battery. Council pro-
tested his innocence, and made very fair
statement of the manner in which he was con-
nected with the crowd. Chamberlain fol
thestate Wyckoff and VOORHEES, for defend
ant.

On Christmas night Christmas Tree was ex-
hibited to the scholars of the Sunday School
of st. Andrews Church, and on it was dis

the children Sang some pretty hymns. Be-

turned his hearty thanks. The occasion was
one of mutual enjoyment to scholars, teach

"THE AouEToNe. "A meeting of the
Aquetong Fire Company was held ON Monday
evening to take into consideration the propri.
ETY. of 'disbanding. Chief Engineer Sproai
was present and spoke against the measure,
saying that he thought we had no more COM
panies than were needed. After an inter
change of opinion, the proposition to disband
was unanimously opposed. Considerable in
terest was manifested on the part of those
present, and it was resolved to endeavor tc
put new vigor into the organization. A com.
mittee was appointed to sell the present ap-
paratus with a view to the purchase of a
steamer. Three new members were elected
and committee was also appointed to secure
new members.
We hope that the Company may be success
full in their efforts to obtain steamer. In
order to reach the eastern portion of our city
with water and do any execution in case of 9
fire, two steamers are necessary.

SMoTHERED TO DEATH.-On last Friday
morning, Betsy Lair, an insane woman, aged
about go years, who lived with her brother,
Joseph Lair, near Mount Airy Station, was
found dead sitting in a chair, her head rest
ing on her arm. The house, it appears, had
caught on fire in two places-over the mantel
and on the stairs-and it is supposed that she
was smothered by the smoke, she being in the
room above. Fromthe fact that the fire was
in two places apart from each other, it is sup
posed that she must have been the cause of it,
accidentally or otherwise.

ADVANTAGES OF ADvERTIsING.-A gentle
man in the lower part of this State was re-
quested to send some goods to a business man
in this city ON commission. He looked over
copies of THE RECORD and The Beacon and
did not find his card, and therefore refused,
remarking that man who didn't advertise
couldn't be doing much business and 'guess-
ed his store was small affair" That would
be the impression produced on the minds of
most people living in wide-awake commune
ties where they have been in the habit of see
ing business men generally taking advantage
of the press to bring their business before the
public.

When to Pillow Deep.

Intelligent farmers know, or should
know, that it will not do to pillow twelve
inches deep where the surface soil is only
six. This may be done in the course of
time, but not at once. To make good
deep soil the progress downward should
be gradual. Let a proper portion of the
subsoil be brought to the surface and ex-
posed to the action of the sun, rain, wind
and FROST then add the manures necessary
to render it fertile. By pursuing this plan
for successive years a fertile soil can be
made-one that will resist the effects Of
severe drought and be fitted also for the
successful culture of all ordinary crops
By this means the mineral constituents of
the subsoil become thoroughly intermixed
with the soil Of the surface, which, in con-
sequence of oftrepeated shallow plowings,
has been depleted of them To make a
good soil by this method the blowing
should be done in the summer or fall, in
order that the newly turned up subsoil
may be subjected to the ameliorating in
fuences of the heat and showers of sum-
mer and the winters freezing and thaw-
ing. But after all this is done it will be
found that good crops cannot be produced
unless there is a liberal application of ma
nuIe. Plow deep and manure generously
and you will have good soil and boun-
tiful yield. 1t is bad policy to pillow deep
when there is only thin stratum of
mold or mellow soil, and to bury this
mellow portion far beneath the surface

tresses who were to appear In 1t were
startled by the notification that they were
to play the piece after midnight on the Sd
of March The most rigorous secrecy
was enioined upon them, and Immediate
dismissal was threatened to those who
should talk about the affair.
Who had ever heard of such theatri-
cal performance The actors were all
there. and when the curtain went up they
vainly looked for an audience. No one
was present to witness their performance
but Young man dressed in loose suit OF
gray, his handsome face adorned with a
small. well-trimmed moustache. The
young man was seated in the left prosce-
nium-box, and he seemed to follow the
performance with rapt attention. The
experienced actors did their best to play
their parts we'll None of them had ever
performed under more singular, not to say
discOuraging circumstances. Applause
there was none The curtain went down
and it went up again. before dark and
empty house. The only spectator present
was, to all appearance, highly interested
but not even once did he clap his hands.
Finally, just as the neighboring clock
of st. Catharine's Church struck four, the
play was over and the actors went home
This singular performance has been re-
peated since then dozen times. The
actors are almost in a state of revolt, fol
it seems unnatural for them to play to no
audience, without marks of applause OF
disapproval; simply before one young
man who, if he wears crown, profits by
his royal prerogatives in curious man
