~ At the adjournment of the court in
Pennington, on last Wednesday, a female per-
former on a tight rope was about commenc-
ing her operations in front Of the Court
House. A large concouise of people were
gazing at her as she started ON her perlous
trip, and some were so fascinated by her ap-
pearance that they forgot that the time was
at hand for the departure of the train for
Lambertvile. Two of the party, who had
been subpnnaed on the whiskey cases, sud-
denly turned toward come one and enquired
whether the cars had gone or not. They were
told that the train had gone some time ago.
One says to the other, ~ must 60 home.to-
night-If you will walk, l will" So they
agreed and started with full swing and long
stride, making good time, arriving at Copper
Hill just in time to see the cars whisk by them
in fine style. As neither of the party was
conscientious in taking an oath, for few
minutes all the air turned blue with profane
curses and oatls at their own stupidity in not
making sure of the departure of the train be-
fore they commenced their toilsome journey.
If this is not a correct account of the affair,
we hope the gentlemen concerned will step up
and make the proper correction.

~ Yesterday Tuesday morning,
about nine o'clock, Mr.. John Lambert's nice
mare while standing hitched to Heath s. Hol-
combe's coal yard, rubbed her briddlc off.
She at once made use Of her opportunities and
got out of the mayors jurisdiction. Turning
short around at the start, the shafts were
wrenehed from the wagon, and it and the
sugar and other groceries left on deposit,
while the mare, crossing the canal at Coryoll
street bridge, sailed around past Fulmer's
Mills to Bridge street, and ran on the
pavement in front of the depot, and in at
tempting to turn down the rail road toward
Trenton without first getting ticket Tor
paying ten cents extra caught one shaft in
the large gate used for shutting across the
track, and was persuaded BY tile gate and
shafts together to hold on. It being about
train time and a number, of people about the
mare was secured without trouble, behaving
herself under the circumstances most admira-
bly,. The mare is perfectly gentle, and any
animal with spirit would be likely to run away
under similar circumstances.

LooANIAN LIBRAEY.-The Bucks Co. In
telIigencer gives the following account of
the Logapian Library, of Philadelphia. Some
facts Of local interest in it make it worthy Of
being copied into our columns -
This collection of books was formed by
John Logan, who came 10 Pennsylvania with
William Penn on his second visit, in the year
1899. James Logan was trusted friend and
companion of the founder of our State, and
was placed in many situations of responsible
ity and honor. During his life he resided
much of the time in the lower end of Bucks
county. He owned large tract of land in
Solebury township, the income of which, un-
der certain conditions, goes to the support OF
the "Loganian Library" This landis now oc-
cupied by Andrew J. Beaumont and others,
under lease SO long as to give them the prac-
teal ownership of the property, subject to
the stipulated annuity The Beaumont Park

some connection in the church, and the dox-

young man who did not like sermons writ
down, jumped on the railing in front of the

died, in 1751, he, bequeathed to the city Of
Philadelphia his library, then valued at s10,-

Bucks county property. BY an act Of the leg
islature the rest of the property was after
