Decision in Bankruptcy.

RICHMOND, Oct 3l.-In the i. 5. Circui
Court to day, in the case Of George ". plllard
and other bankrupts, Judge Il. L. Bond rem
dered most important decision. The crcdi
tors having neglected Judgment, obtained de
crees in the State Court directing the sale o1
Dllard's property Afterwards billiard filed 4
petition 10 bankruptcy and claimed the home
stead exemption of $4,000, which exemption
was allowed 10 the Uuited States District Court
by Judge Underwood.
The creditors then carried the case before
Judge Bond by petition, and he decided the
following points, which entirely reverse the
ruling Of Judge Underwood First. When
suits are peuding in State Courts before the
commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, il
there be no suggestion of fraud and no interests
of the general creditor will be PREJUDICE, the
Bankrupt Court ought not 10 Interfere with the
jurisdiction of the State Courts. Second.
w hen the bankrupt has made a deed OF trust
TO secure creditors, he is not entitled to any eX-
emption out of the property conveyed until the
deed is satisfied or adjudged fraudulent as to
creditors Dy the State Courts. Third When
the proceedings in bankruptcy were commcnc-
ed before the passage of the amendatory act OF
March 80, 1873, the bankrupt is cutltlcd to such
exemption only as allowedby the laws exist
ing at the time the proceedings commenced.
Fourth. The amendatory act, so lar as II Is de-
claratory of the intentions of the act of 1871 is
void. Fifth. The rights Of the bankrupt and
his creditors are fixed according to the laws III
force when the bankruptcy proceedings com
menced, and 20 subsequent Legislation can et-
feet them.

FAIRFAX Co.-IF From the Fairfax News l.
A meeting Of the Conservatives was held at
Clifton on the 29th, at which speeches were
delivered by judges Cockerille and Sangstcr,
when the latter named gentleman ANNOUNCED
that he was fully 10 accord WITH and should
support, the Conservative ticket, except as to
name or so for county officers. We are IN
formed that there is much enthusiasm mani
tested in thelower part Of the county, on the
part of Conservatives there. 1t IL now thought
by we'll informed persons that Fairfax will be
carried by from two to three hundred Conser
vatlve majority.
The store house at Fairfax station was brok-
en- open on Sunday night last and some goods
boxes belonging to Mr. B. NJ Powell, mer-
chant of this place, were broken into and about
SIS worth of goods distracted thcrctrom, the
loss of which falls upon Mr.. Mitchell, depot
agent. The thief has not yet been detected
This is the second time during the year that
robbery has been perpetrated at that place. Mr..
Mitchel's store having been entered In the
night time some months past when money was
stolen from the cash drawer.
The first ice Of the season was seen here on
Wednesday morning, and 90 the evening of
the same day the first observed flock of swans
were heard passing over from the Northern
lakes to warmer regions on the Atlantic coast.
PRopJCTs FOR WHEAT The deficiency Of
the wheat crop in Eogland and France this year
is said to be so great as to render it doubtful if
the surplus of all other producing countries put
together will be sufficient to meet it. The cs-
timate of the English crop is 100000 acres,
at "a bushels per acre, say 76,S0UOOO bushels,
against consumption Of lS6. 0OO,0O bushels
showing probable demand from other coun-
tries of lOe, 900 bushels while France, it
is said, will require $4,000, 900 more, mak ing
an estimated deficiency, in these two countries,
of not less than than l577,000,00D bushels 1t
is thought that the United States will not
have, beyond our own wants. more than 30
900 bushels to sell. Canada may have,
perhaps, S,oeo.O00, Russia 30 900, 900, and
Germany $4,000, O00-,n all 100, OpO, oYo hush
els, or only two-thirds the demand, SO that the
prospect is for good prices to our own farmers
as we'll as to those of countries having sur
plus beyond their own wants.-BuH. Am.

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1873-01-01

The Centennial movement is making fair
PROGRESS in Philadelphia. The organization
Of citizens has been sub-divded so as to in
clude separate committee to represent each
trade or occupation, numbering several hun
bred in all. In this way it is expected that
almost every resident Of the city viii be reach
ed by the canvassers. Reports of subscrip-
tions to gratifying extent are already coming
in and it is considered certain that Philadel-
phia will invest largely in the enterprise. The
journalists of the city and vicinity have held
a meeting to make arrangements for keeping
the matter prominently before the public, and
lave appointed committee to prepare state
ments and statistics. Without the hearty aid
of the press the project could scarcely have
been born, and its ultimate growth will de-
pend very largely upon editorial nursing. As
to the financial capital Of the great celebration
it still seems likely that Philadelphia and
other commercial and manufacturing centres
viii have to furnish most Of the money. Judge
Kelley, Chairman of the Congressional Com
mittee, declares that hc win ask for no gov
efnment appropriation beyond the 100000 for
preparing the stock certificates. Ills is a
very independent position, but We fear it will
have to be abandoned.

MAKE KNowN orr ApyAsTleEs.

Lambertville needs some organization, SINH
lar to a Board of Trade, which shall make a
systematic effort to give publicity to the ad-
vantages possessed by our city for manufac-
turing purposes, aud endeayor to draw
capitalists to this locality. Large manufac-
turing companies in the large cities and in the
New England States are constantly seeking
new and more advantageous locations, and
some of them might be drawn here Were pro-
per efforts made. Our location---only two aud
a half hours ride from the two largest cities
OF the country--our water power our nearness
to the great coal and iron fields, our facilities
for shipping by canal and railroad, &C., &C.,
need to be brought to the attention of those
Who are Sc king locations. Capitalists are
ready to invest their money If the inducements
held out are at all promising. AS evidence of
this we cite the fact that Philadelphia cap;-
talists have recently bought stone quarries in
Yardeyyillc Lumberville, and Prallsville,
and have leased quarries near this city and
brick kilns at Tiiusville. As the tendency to
investment seems to be taking this direction,
ard along the Delaware valley a proper effort
cannot fail to draw share to our own city.
We have been informed that description of
the advantages of Burlington, prepared by
their Board of Trade, and distributed in diff
fcrcnt parts of the country, resulted in the
establishment of mandatory there, en-
ploying two hundred hands.
Perhaps our Lyceum Association might be
made to embrace the distinctive features of a
Board of Trade, in addition to those it now
has and thus prevent a multiplicity of organi-
cations. One evening in a month could be set
apart to the discussion of questions pertain
ing to the business prosperity of our city and
to putting into operation such measures as
would tend to that end. We throw out these
suggestions for the consideration of our citi-
zens, in the hope that those most interested
our property holders and business men-wil
move in the matter.

year be document of unusual interest. 1t
will embody an exhaustive statement of the
tant suggestions as to matters of public con-
Germ, which will no doubt attract wide atten-
ton. These suggestions look, for the most
part, to the reduction of expenses in some de-
partments of the public administration where
there is believed to be room for judicious
retrenehments. The report is now in the
hands of the printer and will be ready for
presentation to the Legislature at the opening

BLOT YoUR HORN J.

Modesty, at least in business and political
have the attention of the public or gain its
trade or influence, must blow his own horn,
and praise his own wares-no one else is likely
to do it for him. q Brass appears to be much
more important than brans-men do get along
without the latter, but no one seems to make
much Roadway without the former There
may have been time when men were sought
for to fiji public Offices but that time must
have been in the dim past !" in this age men
are too patriotic to allow the Offices to go q
begging-they take that distasteful business
as sclfhmposed task, and beg both for office
and votes and the man who blows his own
horn loudest generally gets the "loudest =
celebrity and the fat places.
"Your modesty bcspeaks your merit" is
an apothegm that is not believed in this aae--
instead of modosty being merit it is consid-
cred a failing. While the modest man is wait
ing for place or position or honor to be thrust
upon him, his next door neighbor of inferior
abilities, with his glib tongue and self-assur-
anee and ''cheel.,e is "blowing his horn >
and boldly asking for these Il ings-and he
gets them. Blow your horn the people like
the music. Look at the sale of quack medi-
cines as an example Of the way to elbow"
If these medicines were put on sale without
any puifery of them by the proprietors and
left to their merits to win popularity, there
would be very few quack medicine palaces in
our large cities; but by the most excessive
laudation by the proplietors of articles in
most cases without any merit whatever, they
lave amassed riches. Tho more extravagant
the horn is blown by them, the greater the
sales. So, blow your horn!
We We're about to suggest that depart
ment be opened in the schools of our land to
teach the rising generation this useful and
necessary accomplishment, but it occurs to us
that it appears to be easily mastered without
assistance from that agency and modest pee
pie are gradually becoming rare-about the
only remaining "brillant" examples of it
being newspaper editors and George Francis

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN a CnURcH.-Wil-
Transport, Penn, was the scene of sad and
terrible disaster ON Christmas night. Itseems
the children and friends of the Baptist Church
in the Seventh ward of that city had assembled
to celebrate the day. The crowd numbered
about 300, and had been in the church for
some time when the floor suddenly gave way,
precipitating all into the basementbelow. The
scene was horrible. Children, women and
men fell and were crushed, and additional
horror was lent to the scene by the oil in the
lamps igniting and firing the church. For
tunately the flames were soon extinguished,
and men began to clear the wreck. 1t was
then found that some fourteen persons were
killed and no less than fifty were injured seri-
ously, while most of the remainder were badly
bruised. 1t is feared that many of those
wounded will die. The cause of the accident
was defective workmanship in the building
and an unusual crowd.
