MISCELLANY

PREsrDENT GRANT AND THE PEoPLE.--A
week or two since one of our plain Burling-
ton County farmers, for little recreation al
ter his harvest labors, Joined in one OF the ex-
cursions to Long Branch Strolins along the
beach, looking at the Ocean and ut the iine
of pleasant cottages, he thought he would try
to ret a look Mt the Presidents residence ana
probably catch glimpse of that dignitary AZ
the same time. BY questioning passers-oy ne
singled out rather humble cottage as inc
summer home Of the Chief Magistrate, put
which hardly accorded with the fanciful de-
scr;ntions by Democratic journals of Grant
palatial residence at Long Branch. Accost-
inc a laborer at the gate our friend inquired
.(,ould a man see Mr.. Grant p Why
yes walk up to the house" ENCOURAGE ny

TO see him. In a moment the President made
his appearance, greeting Mr.. p = cordially
and the two were soon seated talking crops
the drought, and kindred topics, with the
freedom of old acquaintance. Our friend
had a pleasant call, was made to feel entlroV
welcome, and came away with high opm-

KEROsENE MUST BB HADNLID ~

use of kerosene, Insurance Companies
now have condition in their policies

void. It is important that the general
public should know this, aud when kerr

them ty day instead Of 10 the evening
The justice Of this regulation has been
confirmed by long and disastrous ex.
