New HoPE PUBLIC SCHOOL PIc-NIc.-On
Friday last, the scholars of the New Hope
Public School were taken on a picnic to the
Beaumont Deer Park. The arrangements for
getting the scholars to the Park were left to
Mr. Geo. a. Cook, who went vigorously to
work and impressed into the service a number
of Teams which promptly and safely deliver
ed and returned the happy youngsters, one
hundred and sixty in number.
{ After arriving at the Park, the children
were given full scope to enjoy themselves /;
and as the occasion was designed for their
pleasure and not for the entertainment of the
older folks, no reeitations, or other formal ex-
efeises, were gone through with. A bounteous
dinner and supper were spread for the child
rem, (the contribution of the citizens of New
Hope, TO which they did full justice The
Lambertville Band was present during the day

large number of the parents and friends of the
scholars also participated in the pleasures OF

"A NUIsANcE--A practice has been INDUCED
in in this city, on every recurring Fourth of
July, which is a great nuisance, and should be
abated We refer to the saturnalia which usu-
ally commences at midnight of the 3D., and
which is kept up until daylight. During these
hours the entire city is kept awake by the mr.
ing of guns, pistols &C., the beating OF drums
and the yelling and oaths of a few dozen row.
dies. Heretofore, when any remonstrance has
been made to the authorities, the only salts
faction has been the remark that Fourth OF
July only comes once year." We trust that
it win be different this year, and that an Ell
fort will be, made to prevent such a disturbance
of the peace. Not-only the sick are annoyed
and injured by it, but those in good health
have their rest so disturbed as to unfit them
oftentimes for the proper enjoyment OF the
day. 1t is wrong at any time to give license
to rowdyism, and it is too much to ask that a
whole city shall be disturbed all night that
few rough-pecks may have what they term
.shigh old time"

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-On Saturday last
between and o'clock in the forenoon, as
Mr.. John Risler, of this city was putting some
goods into the cellar of his store, a little boy,
son of Ephraim Shook, came running in at the
door, and before any one could stop him, he
nine feet, striking the cellar floor with the top
of hishead. Although there were persons sta
toned for the purpose Of guarding against
such accidents, yet the movement of the boy
was SO quick that he eluded them and fell head
long, as related.
His injuries were at first considered fatal
but we learn that he is now out of danger.

THE DEER PARK.-Tliere are large num-
bers of people in this city and New Hope who
are prevented from visiting the Deer Park
owing to the difficulty of getting there. The
distance is too great to walk, and the expense
of hiring horse and carriage is more than
many feel willing to incur. Ii hacks were run
to and from the Park on two or three after
moons of each week, we doubt not they would
be well patronized if the charges We're reason
able. Will not some one in New Hope try
the experiment?

her of witnesses were examined, and the cause

ion that the plaintiff recover from the defend

pealed, and will be carried to higher court.
Before Charles w. Angel, Esq, on Thurs
day last, was brought suit in which Wilkin-

WANTED.-A great aid to the prosperity of
our city would be the building of an establish
ment which should furnish rooms and power
to small manufacturers. We hear that there
is frequent inquiry by strangers for just such
accommodations, and because they cannot be
had, they go elsewhere. Such bulding
would, there is little doubt, pay a very fine
profit on the investment. We hope our bust
ness men will take it into consideration.
