Runs DorNos.--It appears from the fol-
lowing statement copied from the Hunterdon
Republican,, that rum was at the bottom of
the recent murder committed at High Bridge,
as it was of the riot at Pattenburg, resulting
in the death of three or four persons -
ga correspondent at High Bridge informs
us that Brennan and his wife came TO reside
there about three years ago. and he went to
work in the Taylor Iron Works. He was
known as a steady, industrious man, always
on the lookout for a job, and doing much work
outside of his regular employment. He took
stock in the Building Association, and after
about year bought a lot and built a very
nice homo. For this he ran in debt, and in
order to make money faster than by his regu-
lar employment, he about six months ago
commenced the sale of liquor. From that
time trouble commenced. Both Brennan and
his wife acquired the habit of drinking free
| ly and while in liquor quarrels and fights
were frequent occurrences. All this was f.
nally eliminated in the death of Mrs. Bren-
nan and the incarceration Of her husband on
charge of numbering her. This is another
of the many thousands of instances of the I'M
told misery which the curse of rum entails up
on the whole human race"
Yet according to the defenders of the traffic,
we must submit to these murders and all the
other evils entailei upon us because it would
be ''taking away peoples liberty" to prevent
its sale!

THE LyoEUM.-The Lyceum met on Sat
unaay evening, in accordance with previous
notice. The following question was discuss
ed: "Should the granting of license to sell
Intoxicating drinks be taken from the City
Council and be given to cur County Court !"
The discussion was on the main a good one
and was participated in by several of the
members as well as by some who were not.
During the debate one of the disputants
took occasion to enter upon TRADE against
the Good Templars Of the city, at the same
time making the assertion that there never
had been but one temperance man in the
place, and that man was Enoch Knowles
Now while Mr. Knowles is without question
a good temperance man, we hold it a base
SANDER upon other men just as good as he is
We think the interest of the Lyceum will
be better promoted il they will stick more
closely to their text and not get out of their
way to attack subject which was not in that
instance connected with the question under
discussion. sAA fA4N -G
We hope good attendance will be given
next Tuesday, evening when discussion will
be had on the question:" Should party pol
itics have any thing to do in choosing officers
for the administration of our city govern
ment?" 1883

WAR DECLARED !-HosTILITIEs CoMMEN-
cED u Hardly has the Cuban war cloud
passed before we are compelled to chronicle
another rupture of peaceful relations, and,
worst of all, the war this time is at our very
doors. The troops arc encampcd on the hill
sides below us, and the spot that was once
made sacred by the footsteps of the immortal
Washington, in Revolutionary times. now
blazes with the camp fires of contendiny forces.
On Friday last Gen. Green mot he of the
Revolution) appeared with his troops and de-
manded possession of the territory known as
Goat Hill quarries. This was resisted by Gen.
Taylor, mot of Mexican war celebrity who
was in command of the troops of the Phila.
Freestone and Granite Co. The troops of
Gen. Green were compelled to retreat but
afterwards achievements were secured from
the Hook and the nights of Goat Hill were
taken. There was some talk of bringing
Geo. Ely's gun boat into service, but thus far
the navy has not been called into action.
Since the above. the parties have gone into
"arbtration before two or three Justices of
the Peace, and there have been arrests and
counter arrests !; but who has possession or
who is right or wrong, we are unable to say.

For some years past the plaintiff had beer
circulating throughout the neighborhood il
which both the plaintiff and defendant re.
sided, the report shat defendant was a thief
that he had caugls him in the act, and could
prove the truth of his assertions. This action
was brought for slander--for words spoken.
The defendant did not dispute having made
use of the language alleged to constitute tho
SANDER. He testified that he had seen the
defendant on his premises under sucl4 sdspici-
GUS circumstances as to warrant him In be-
lieving he was there for the purpose of steal
ing. The Court instructed the jury that tho
SANDER being uiidisputed, it was their duty to
find somo damages, and the question was
what amount that they had right, in Ak
ing the sum, to consider the position Of the
parties, and could, IL they thought the case
warranted it, give vindictivc damages: the
amount claimed in the declaritio was So, 000
beyond which they could not go but that
whatever verdict they might relidcr within
their power would not be disturbed by the
court, as excessive. Verdict for plaintiff, ST.
500. For plaintiff, Van Fleet & Bullock

they had discovered nothing wrong about
him. Verdict for plaintiff, $125 For plain

The Clinton Democrat has been endeav-
oring since the election, to demonstrate that
not only the Central Railroad Co., but the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., interfered in the
election for State Senator in this county, and
it cites the fact that Mr.. Pidcock ran behind
his ticket in this city, where, it represents,
the Pennsylvania r. r. Co. has great infu.
ence. We have to say in reply, that in this
section Mr.. Pidcock was supposed to be favor
able to the Penna. r. r. Co. and therefore, if
his vote fell short, it was not owing to any
such cause We have heard of no evidence
which indicates that the Company took any
part ia the canvass Mr.. Pidcock ran behind
his ticket here because the people believed be
was the candidate of a corrupt ring.

the Lords Prayer was recited in concert
Mr.. G.. B. Stout, of New Brunswick, con-
Quoted the Institute during the morning and
exercises were given in grammra, reading,

a variety of opinions.

a class drill in decimal fractions was given by
Mr. l.. X. Strouse, Principal Of the Lambert
the hill school being present to illustrate Mr..
SIS mode of teaching.
Mr.. G. b. Stout then conducted n reading
exercise, and Prof. Warrington, of Phila.,
showed how questions in natural philosophy
and science can be illustrated in simple man
ner and made interesting and attractive to the
children. The Professors remarks were lis
tened to with much interest.
At p. NJ, after singing under the direc-
ton Of Prof. Hoffman and prayer by Rev. J.
adelphia, was introduced and delivered lee.
turc on "Natural Science" illustrated by
some very fine experiments. This lecture
was a very able one, and by far the most
practical and useful one of the course.
THURsDAy.-At o. o'clock, the Institute
again met, and after the usual introductory
exercises, Prof. Warrington made some re.
marks on various topics, including ventila.
ton, &c. State Supt. Apgar gave short lee

=. RoBBERy.-0n Wednesday night of last
week. Daniel Heath, living with his son at
Locktown, was robbed of $500 in coin, $4,000
in greenbacks and $1,000 government bond.
His grandson, Daniel III. Rittenhouse, (who is
better known by the name of Soak = Kitten
house, took very active part in ferreting
out the robbers and rather over-did the matter,
and thereby excited the suspicious OF some
persons in Pennington. The Democrat says
lat "Constables George Gano and Richard
Hail. who were there attending Court at the
time, having an eye to the reward, concluded
to risk the arrest of :. Oak" on venture
Accordingly they commenced laying plans for
his arrest, and while they were thus engaged
the young man came into town and stopped
Mt the Union Hotel where he engaged room,
requesting to be called at clock a. NJ, as
he wished to take the first train. He was inn
mcdiatcly .shadowcd " by the officers, and
along towards midnight two or three others
were taken into their confidence. A young
fellow named Joe Stryker was induced to
make affidavit that he believed "Oak had
the stolen valuablcs, and warrant was Is
sued for his arrest Armed with this docu-
ment, the officers proceeded to the room oc-
cupied by "Oak = and arrested him. He WAS
searched and in belt about his body the
property was all found. Finding that he was
caught he made no attempt to deny the theft,
and remarked to the officers you've got me.
He was brought down to the County Hotel
and guarded by Constable Hall, while Gano
and two other gentlemen went after old Mr.
Heath
"In the morning the old gentleman appeared
and the prisoner was brought before Justice
Durham, Captain Geo. A. Allen and George
w Durham appearing rs counsel
The Democrat thinks the examination was
a farce The old gentleman agreed to pay
the reward of 5000 which had been offered
and the case was dismissed. 1t states that Mr..
Heath said before the justice that he could
not identify the bond or specie as his, and
yet uftcr the hearing these were turned over
to him That, to say the least, was strange
proceeding.

MAD DoG.--A dog belonging to Thomas
Rennof, living in house on the Cotton Mill
property, in this city, went mad last Sunday,
and attacked Mr.. R. He was defending
himself with broom, when Thomas O'Ncal
came by. Mr.. r. called to him and he entered
Ahe yard, took up a stone and threw it at the
dog with such precision and force as to kill
tthe animal. The dog had just made spring
sat Mr.. Rennoff, who stood at a window. 1t
was rather a bold undertaking on the part Of
Mr.. O'Neaa.
