Rosemont, March %, 1873.
EDITOR OF THE RECORD AS the season
has approached for moving and changes among
our citizens, and as we always are ready TO
enjoy such occasions, we attended one of the
first in moving Mr.. William r. Slack. We
met at his residence with our teams, loading
in usual form, and started for the city of Lam
bertville, there being those in our crowd that
rank conspicuously, and especially in politics.
Everything passed off quietly until we passed
the village of Stockton, when through some
cause both drivers and horses became ex-
cited, and it was hard to conclude who had the
greatest speed With three or four teams
abreast, and going at the rate of mile in four
minutes, there was no accident occurred either
with the teams or drivers, but some complain
ed they could not hold their speed, and with
all their "Dexters " and donkey teams they
had not enough speed for the little greys and
the donkey mules-they came in ahead at the
place of destination.
After giving our teams a good feed, with
other care, we were invited by Mr.. Slack to
splendid dinner, of which all heartily partook.
Afterwards we took walk through your
beautiful city, and were much delighted with
your many improvements After securing our
teams, we wendell our way home, hoping soon
to be invited to another moving.
LOVER OF Fun.

U.s. Oar Home for April contains the fourth
paper of Judge Voorhees, on "The Raritan
and Its Early Holland Settlers" which, among
other topics of interest, treats of the ancestors
of the Wyckof family, with the places of
settlement of many of their descendants. GA
Delegate" writes with much cearness and
interest about "Horace Greeley and the Chi
cago Convention of 1860" The popular
impression that Mr.. Greeley favored the NOM
ination of Abraham Lincoln for President at
the convention is shown to have been erron-
sous. The author is sui p sed to be Hon.
N. w. Voorhees, of Clinton but whoever he
is, the article will, OH its own merits, receive
wide attention. Dr. A. w. Mcdowell, well
known in these parts, contributes a short but
very readable sketch ON CDR. Van Derveer
and Sisters" formerly of "Vanderstat,"
Some one writes thoughtfully of "Mental
Culture" another pointedly on "Womons
Opportunities. Rev. DIR. w. w. Blauvelt
contributes an historical paper on the Church
at Lamington--the first of series of papers
to be published in the Magazine under the
title of "Our Older Churches. "The Hun
terdon County Teachers Institute in Feb
ruary, is written about by one who was pre-
sent Cur La Touretee tells of :" Walking in
West Jersey "-being an account of trip
from Morristown to Schooley's Mountain, and
etc The Poetry in this number is good, as
usual The Editorial Department is fuller
and more pungent than heretofore.
In "Our Correspondence, Rev. II. P.
Thompson gives an account of Horace Gree
ley's lecture at Peapack a year a ago !; and
there is also letter about Pattenburg, Hun
terdon Co. The usual tables of local items,
marriages and DEATHS complete this, which is

Us Considerable comment has been made
by our citizens upon the appropriation by
Council for the services of the various COM
mittees. 1t is generally agreed that the
amounts are excessive for the services per-
formed, and unequally apportioned. We be-
lieve that our Councilman should be paid for
their services--at least for those rendered dur
ing the hours usually given to labor; but in
all cases the pay should be fixed according to
the time actually spent by the various mem
bers of Committees and bills should be rem
dered for the same, verified under oath, as is
required in all other bills brought before the
Council for action,

~ Some time ago we overheard a CONVEX
sation on one of the passenger trains of the
B. d. r. r. which, as a citizen of Lambert
vile, somewhat mortified us. A gentleman
and lady were speaking of our city" and
he remarked to the lady, g 1 would not live
there-there is not enterprise enough in the
town or in the authorities to supply the place
with water'' We couldn't answer then, but
if we ever come across that fellow again, we
shall tell him that the spirit of enterprise has
got hold of our city at last, and that portion,
at least, of our authorities" have taken
special efforts to supply our city-not with
water simply, but with whiskey, which costs
a good deal more than water. Andyet it may
be possible that that fellow may be still un-
reasonable enough not to wish to live in our
city.

gB The heavy wind of Saturday did not
do any serious damage as far as we have
heard. Some bricks were blown from Chin
ney on the building in which THE RECORD of
flee is located but fortunately fell into the
back yard while no one was near.
This incident has called our attention to the
fact that there are large number of chimneys
in our city which are in dangerous condition,
the coal gas having eaten out the mortar, and
may at any time bring them to the ground,
and serious if not fatal accidents may result.
Repair them before such an accident occurs.

we believe the act to be a just one and that
this will be generally acknowledged when the

gY- The Huntcrdon Democrat gives the
following story of practical joke at Sand
Brook
AJoKE APPRECIATED.-Aro Sand Brook
the boys are fond of fun and mischief During
the late sleighing spell a couple of young fell
lows went out Sparkling" While they were
in the house having good time, some jealous
neighbor boys thought it would be capital fun
to go to this house and fasten the sleigh of our
young friends to a mammoth wood sled be-
longing to the father of the girls. This little
trick was soon accomplished, and the jokers
retired. At an hour we know not of our friends
came out, and hooking up their horse started
for home. They had not gone three PAGES be-
fore they found they were dragging the old
mans sled with them, and at once realized
that they had been made the victims of lot
of practical !iokers. So they pulled and tugged
with all their might to get the old sled loose
but no use. Finally, the girls came out with
a light, and it was found that the sleigh was
chained fast and locked, and they could not
for the life of them get the pesky thing un-
done. WE'LL it was too cold to stand out there
looking at it, and the girls with remarkable
presence of mind allowed that they might IS
well come in again and stay till daylight. Of
course, that was chunky dory,' the boys
thought, and they went in and had a good deal
more fun thaa.if they had gone home.
