BIG BILLs.-We hear that at the meeting
of the Board of Chosen Freeholders at Flem-
ington, on Saturday last rather lively time
was had in relation to the bills presented in
connection with.the examination of the Pat
tenburg rioters, etc. The Coroner, it is re-
ported, put in a bill for $500 or $500 fer ex-
penses the Sheriff a bill of SIS for care of
prisoners in Justices Court G. A. Allen
bill of $400 for twenty days services on the
trial; Justice, bill for an amanuensis, of
"a per day, in addition to his pay of IS cents
per folio; etc., etc. The bills We're either cut
down or rejected altogether; but it required
some perseverance on the part of certain men,
bers of the Board in order to prevent the
county from being defrauded. One would
suppose that no member of the Board would
sanction such unjust claims, but we are told
that there were those who favored the pay
ment of the bills as presented.

TRAMPs.-At this season of the year the
class of people known as tramps" infest our
country and crowd the places which our citi-
zens have, out of the goodness of their hearts,
prepared for them to pass their nights in.
Lambertville has by some means acquired a
reputation amongst them as good place !" to
stop in consequently ppr ACCOMMODATIONS
are fully occupied, ana each returning night
finds its ready customers until the matter calls
for serious consideration. On Monday just
about dusk, six able-boded men, who were
travelling together applied for lodgings, and
were accommodated in the Getty Hotel.
otherwise known as the "lock-up." How
many more found shelter and: food there, we
do not know. = They were asked where they
came from. They said from North Wales.
Why they did not stop in New Hope, as they
had Just passed through it? They did not
know there wasanyplace iathatborough where
they could get nights lodging. How did
they know there was any place here? They
replied that a man near this end of the bridge
told them there was good place for them up
town-and they found it. Now, why could
not these fellows be made to earn their bed
and board;by some kind Of labor? Put them
to work IN the winter time and make them
shovel the snow OF the crossings in SUMMER,
have some stone in the street for them to ex-
pend their surplus strength on-and 1t Is but
fair to presume that Lambertvile would soon
lose its reputation for being such good place

degree of originality, and independence of
grammatical rules, incompatible in one writing
on educational topics.
3D.. He is accused from the character of his

for in them he finds fault not only with the
management of the public schools, with the
principal and teachers, but also with the elect
ed school officers, the citizens and the clergy ;

any idea as to how these faults, if real, can be
lemedied. 1E nr~

the Board shall compel him to narrate the ups
and downs of the Hill Public School from its
organization in 1858 or '54 to the present
time.

A CAT SToRy.--A friend in this city hands
us the following "A eat came to the house of
one of my neighbors few days ago, and made
herself quite at home The good lady enjoyed
her visit, but when she thought the visit ought
to end it didn't. Well, the lady, assisted by
another, took the cat, and a lump of butter to
grease her feet, and carried her down among
the Philistines and turned her out, and sup
posed that would be the last of pussy, but it
wasn't Next morning saw her back again.
Then the ladies hit upon another plan, and to
make assurance doubly sure, this time put her
in a bag, together with a brick, and tied up
the bag good and strong, and carried her out
ON the Delaware bridge and threw her out of
the window into the raging flood below Now
they thought it was all ooer with pussy, but
10 and behold next morning upon opening
the kitchen door, there was that cat dgain
alivegand well i This greatly surprised the
lady and she exclaimed, " Don't that cat beat
the doctor y She thinks now Of putting
her on board of the freight cars, when the
weather gets pleasant, and sending her to New
York, directed to p. T. Barnum, for the happy
family group. Good idea.

G8r The legal voters of the school district
at Stockton will hold public meeting, at
Sharps Hail. on Thursday evening, Jan. 30th,
to take some measures to relieve the district
from the embarrassment that now keeps them
from finishing their school house, in conse-
quence of a suit commenced against the dis
trict by Hiram beats and Others who are
opposed to paying the tax levied upon them
for the purpose of building the house. The
house when finished will be an ornament to
the village and a credit to those who have la
bored in the interest of education against the
"old fogyism . that.every district ip the State
is afflicted with.

SUPPOSED KNocK-DowN AND RoBEERY.-
Last evening, between seven and eight o'clock,
washing machine agent from Bucks County,
giving his name rs +. Howell $50 he states),
was knocked down and robbed Of about S12
while passing Stryker's lumber yard in this
city. He says that while in Lambertyille
during tie day a man made his acquaintance
who gave his name as WILSON, and claimed to
be a. residoAt here. This man accompanied
him to New Hope, and pretended to be de-
sirous to purchase the right of the machine
for Hunterdon Co. Wilson insisted on his
coming back TO L. with him to take supper,
Which after repeated solicitations, he consent
ed to do. They came across the bridge and
up Lambert street to the Coryell street bridge,
and as they went along by the lumber. yard,
they were joined by another person, just after
which Wilson struck him n sudden blow.
He lay unconscious for a time, and when he
came to- he found his pockets rilied and blood
flowing from wound on his head. He went
to DIR. r. II. Studdiford, who upon examina-
ton, found his right eye badly bruised and a
scalp wound ON the left side Of his head. The
man was intoxicated at the time, but he tells
u pretty straight story about the occurrence.
It was certainly a pretty bold affair, if true,
and we hope that our authorities will examine
into it, to ascertain the facts.

THE CHAMPION HoG.-Delaware has had
the curl taken out Of her largest hogs tail
and that too, by little Franklin. Mr., Jacob
c. West, of Pittstown, brought a hog to town
ON Tuesday last, the weight of which was
screen hundred and treiae pounds. We saw
the defunct animal and can assure you that it
was a .whaler." 1t measured six and half
feet from snout to t'other end, and was only two
years old Jacob thinks that he could have
made the grunter weigh eight hundred, but
when he reflected on the trouble 1t would sbe
to 'sscald'' and handle such 4 bulk he thought
it wasn't worth while. He simply wanted to
give Delaware a setting back, and this he has
accomplished. AS was Franklin the Banner
