SENTENCED young man who swim
money recently, and who was afterwards ar
rested for obtaining money under false pre-
fences in Princeton, was sentenced in the
Mercer Special Sessions, on last Friday. The
State Gazette says
after the transaction of Orphans Court
business, the prosecutor of the Pleas stated
that Andrew b. Crarey, who had pleaded not
guilty, week ago, to the charge of obtaining
$25 from Rear Admiral Emmons, of Prince
ton, by representing that he was the son Of
Dr. McCosh, desired to retract his plea and
pleaded guilty The young man was then
called up for sentence. Judge Reed reminded
him that his offence, in ordinary cases, would
send him to the State Prison. He referred
to the intelligence of the young man and his
apparent responsibility, and that the Court
had learned that widowed mother was de-
pendent upon him, in some degree, for sup
port.
"The young man was deeply affected, as was
also a female cousin who was present The
Court sentenced him to five months confinement
in the County Jail. He stated that he had
studied law for 81 months in the city of New
ark, with Mr. Taylor. Judge Reid said this
made his case D, much the worse. We under
stand that it was the elegant billiard assec-
ates Of this young man, who FIRST induced him
to practice the confidence game" ~ " -

STABBINa AFFRAY-RuM THE CApsE.-An
affray of a rather serious nature occurred at
Prallsville on Monday evening" between two
employees in the quarries there. A quarrel
arose at the boarding house of John Hunt,
which resulted in the stabbing Of Thomas
Paterson in the bowels by Daniel Haly the
wound however, not being considered dam
gerous. Whiskey was the chief cause of the
difficulty.
Patterson was arrested on Tuesday, on a
warrant issued by Esquire Rounsaville, of
Stockton. This morning hearing was had
before Justice Hayhurst, of this city. Three
witnesses were examined whose evidence went
to show that some four or five men had been
on spree, which eliminated in quarrel be-
tween the two men named, Haly, however,
being sober at the time of the affair. Haly
has stated in private that the wound was pro-
duced by broken bottle and not by a knife
but one of the witnesses qualified that he saw
a knife in Hays hand. The Justice decided
to hold him for trial at the next term of Court,
and fixed his bail in the sum of 500.

For TIE RECORD.

For THE RECORD.
In most of our cities aud places of import
ance, they have Board of Trade, the OBJ
iect of which is to induce and encourage inn
provements by aiding any enterprise of value
to be we'll located in the city or place where
such Board exists. The organization of such
Board has been talked over by many of our
citizens here, and as we all feel deep interest
! in the growth and improvements Of our city
we cannot conceive why they should delay {
matter of such importance any longer. Situat
ed between Phladelphia and New York, oul
facilities for misunderstanding are second tc
none in the Union. Capital is daily collect
ing together and induced to locate in other
places, where extensive works are established,
and followed by improvements in the place OF
location in proportion to the magnitude of
the operations. Lambertville will grow just in
proportion to the enterprise of her citizens
Remaining as we are, the gain will be slow--if
working and taking hold as an organized body
for the good of the place, the probabilities
are our population in 1875 might as well be
10, 600 as to be half that number. si.fs5f j. RI
If manufactures flourish, and our popula-
ton doubles, will not our present Real Estate
rise proportionate in value? If we would have
other manufacturers bring their capital and
locate their works in our city, whe should take
them by the hand and encourage them, and
not drive them away by trying to. sell them a
location, &C., at an extortionate price. II
organized, we could do as well in our city fol-
manufacturers as any other in the state.

SMASH UP.-On Saturday morning last, be-
tween five and six o'clock, loaded coal train
and an empty one came in collision below
Moore's Station. The two locomotives had
their cow-catchers and headlights broken,
and were otherwise damaged, but the injuries
were not of very serious nature. About
twenty-five empty cars were more or less bro
ken, and were piled up in a miscellaneous
heap on and about the track. But one loaded
coal car was damaged, and that but slightly.
The accident resulted from the failure of the
down train to receive notice of the place of
passing the up train, which was an extra.
Its occurrence delayed the passenger trains for
some hours.

THE COMING ExcURsloNs.-We are inform
ed that excursion trains have been engaged of
the Pennsylvania r. r. Co, beth Tor Long
Branch and up the Hudson, for about every
day in the season, so that in all probability,
the two excursions already. announced will be
the ouly ones from this section, this summer.
The joint excursion of the Methodist and
Baptist Churches Of this city, to Long Branch,
and the excursion up tire Hudson, by the
Union Fire Co., of this city, therefore, afford
the only opportunities for an excursion trip to
salt water. Both Of these should be well pat
ronized by our people, and we hope that both
will prove successful. Each of the trips has
attractions peculiar to itself, and those who
can affcrd.it will find themselves repaid in
taking both. ~ ~ ~

THE ".GREAr EASTERN" SHow.-The
benefits of extensive advertising were well
shown by the crowds which were drawn to the
Menagerie and Circus that exhibited here on
last Saturday. Colored mammoth posters,
circulars, pamphlets, Autographs, &C., &C., had
been scattered in profusion in all the villages
and towns for miles around, and the result
was the largest crowd that has visited suchsan
exhibition for years past. We must confess,
the bills for the "Great Eastern" had most
wonderful imagination. The street process
sion was fair, but greatly below the state
ments of the advertisements. The procession
might have been made "two miles long" as
advertised by putting sufficient space between
the wagons; the .stwenty beautiful young
ladies' we're concentrated into four; the
gorgeous banners costing $4,000" needed to
have two cyphers taken off Of the price; the
"thirty-one cages" of animals and birds
counted up about fifteen, aud other things at
a proportionate discount. The affair was about
equal to an ordinary travelling show, and COM
pairing it's represent ations with the rea isy, l..
was about the biggest humbug that has ever
visited our city. sAsssn MAssAss. ~ ~, ssSNn

OH it's way to Phillipsburg, all crowded into
about thirty freight cars and one passenger

The receipts for the two exhibitions here,
we are told, amounted to $4,000.

n6- Some pretty rough customers are con-
nected with the ssGrcat Easter" Show, as
team drivers, &c. On last Saturday even
ing, two Of them while helping TO load the
baggage on the cars at our depot, came across
a young man asleep, dead drunk. They re-
lieved him of his pocket book, coat, pants,
vest, boots, stockings, and hat, and were taking
off his pantaloons when they were caught They
were not arrested.
Another one Of them stole hat from MIR.
Harry Barber, at the Lambertville House,
and the fact coming to the knowledge Of his
"boss, !" said boss gave him, it is said, most
terrific knock-down, which made him think
that a ten-ton steam hammer had been added
to the attractions of the show. which could be
felt four miles - just the distance the "steam
piano" can be heard, according to the oilis.
That fellow won't steal any hats hereafter that
don't tit linn. = =

THE LAuNcH.-Last Thursday afternoon,
Mr. c. Arnett with his log trucks and four
horses and about sixty men, brought the iron
steam boat which has been building at Mr..
VIM. GOWNS shops, from the rear Of the build
ings and over the bridge in Coryell Street /;
and after considerable noise and fun general
ly, and after breaking the ropes and letting
the men pulling on them tumble upon the top
of each other several times, they succeeded
in placing the boat in proper situation on
the banks of the canal in the rear of Stryk-
er's lumber yard; where it was left until
Friday. On that morning, those who had
the matter under charge repaired to the place
and commenced preparations for the launch
About noon, all things being in readiness,
an impulse was given, and the boat slid into
its native element throwing man who was
ON the boat into the water, who quickly
recovered himself, with no further harm
than good ducking. The boat after being
afloat, was taken up in front of the shops,
where it awaits the boiler and some machi-
merry to fit it for the service of the canal COM
pany.
This is the first iron steamboat that ever
was built here, and is designed for the use OF
the Canal Company. Apparatus for cutting
grass out of the bottom of the canal, and per-
haps pumps for raising sunken boats, will
be attached to her machinery. This may be
the commencement of an enterprise which
will add to the material wealth of this city, and
open up new source of industry for the
benefit of our mechanical population.
