On Friday, the q I'll nj at aAont o'clock
in the evening, a china tree near the residence
Of Mr.. zweinert, a shoemaker, in our town,
was struck bylightning. The bark was torn
off in some places, and the earth at the foot of
the tree was ploughed mp as if by a mole to a
depth of six or eight inches. In the house,
some eight or ten feet from the tree, MIR. Zwei-
merit was at work, and the shock jerked the
hammer from his hand and sent the other
tools dancing about him in a pretty lively
style, whereupon he judged it prudent to beat
a hasty retreat, and adjourned to the nearest
beer saloon, where he fortified" himself
Nobody, however, was hurt but several
persons in the house and in the adjoining
kitchen experienced severe shock.

to-day. She had radical Governor

Gen. ID. q. Hills Comments on
the Death Of Gen. Candy.

The following is the full text of the
comments of the Confederate General
D. III. Hill on the death of General
Candy, which excited the wrath of and
provoked reply from the preacher
Senator, Brewnlow, of Tennessee.
At the outbreak of the war iu 1861
he deserted his own section and cast
his lot in with their enemies. He
seems to have won rank and reputation
in the federal service, aud was one of
the six brigadiers appointed in the reg
ular army on the peace establishment.
He was given command OF the Depart
ment of the Carolinas, and carried out
ruthlessly all the cruel measures of a
renlorseless Congress. The war against
his own land and people seemed to
have destroyed all his nobler qualities,
and to have transformed him into the
usual style of the renegade. A citizen
of Charlotte was present in Richmond
when General Candy personally super
intended the hanging of white man
up by the thumbs for kicking an inso-
lent negro out of his saloon.
Jim Lane cut his own throat. Stan
ton most likely committed suicide.
King drowned himself. One by one
the oppressors of the South come to an
untimely end. Some of the most afro
cious are now covered with inf4Eny
worse than death. Is it accident or is
it retribution!
The historyef renegades is getting
to be instructive. Mr.. Lincoln destroy
ed his own people, violated his con-
science and stultified his oft expressed
opinions. He was fouily and atrocious-
~ murdered in the hour of his triumph.
General Thomas pledged himself in
Lynchburg at the outbreak of the war
to stand by his neighbors and kindred.
Seduced by Office he fought against
them. AT the close of his brilliant mil
itary career popinjaw was put over
him and he dropped dead in San Fran
CISCO Old Brownlow was the strong
est pro slavery man in the South, but
he cas6 his lot with the abolitionists
and prosecuted his own people. He is
now paralytic and almost a dwelling
idiot. Professor Mahan was an ardent
Southerner and could hardly find lam
guage wherewith to express his abhor-
renee of the disunion abolition party
during the war and became very bitter
against his own section. He was super
seded when his work was done, threw
himself in the Hudson in the madness
of his despair. Who would not rather
be crippled Confederate soldier,
munching crust of bread, than poor
Longstreet, the pet of Grant and the

In the Probate Court of this county an
interesting subject was argued on Satur.
day. 1t was supposed that II. NJ. Gar
vey, who was recently killed in this city.
had no legal heirs in this community.
Now appears his reputed wife and makes
application to be appointed to administer
on his estate, while Committee. con-
sisting of Messrs. Dunn, Clark and Will
son, from the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows in this city (of which Order the
H. M. Garvey was a member), contests
the application, and deny that Garvey
was ever married. The evidence in the
case is very conflicting. and it seems that
no direct evidence of marriage, as estab-
lished by law, has been introduced.

behalf OF the applicant, Mrs. Garvey, and

A Massachusetts postmistress has resigned
her office, as a matter of honesty, because
she cannot find time to read all the postal
cards and attend to her other duties besides.
The lady above referred to, has probably
not read the two conflicting decisions given
by the Post Office Department; one of which
is to the effect that Post Masters and their
clerks are subject to the penalty of dismis-
sal from Office for reading messages sent
through the mail on postal cards. The 9th
er is, that no Post Master shall permit any
card to pass through the mail that contains
any profane or otherwise Objectionable mes
sage. We would be pleased to learn from
the same source, how the Post Masters
throughout the country are to reconcile
these two decisions. No fears need be en-
tertained by the citizens of Bridgeton as to
the safety of any message which they may
choose to send through the Post Office, as
our Post Master, Mr.. Miner, attends too
well to the duties of his office to allow him
time to inquire into the affairs of others,
besides being reliable and honorable gen.
tleman, has no inclination in that direction,
and no doubt he has sufficient confidence in
the responsibility of the citizens of Bridge
ton, to believe that no Objectionable mes
sage would be sent from here on postal
cards. If all of the offices of the country
were so efficiently filed, there would be no
cause of complaint regarding the privacy of
postal cards, and we assure our readers that
whatever they send by mail is safe until af-
ter it leaves the Bridgeton Post Office.

THE CHOLERA This terrible disease is
still prevailing to an alarming extent in
Nashville, Memphis and other vicinities.
Precautions are being taken in New York
and other cities to prevent it's arrival. Va
rious opinions have been expressed as to the
best means to prevent it's spreading. The
New York Duty Meas states that the dis
ease is most prevalent among the colored
race In Nashville, 70-I00 of the deaths
are among the colored people. This disease
is not occasioned among the negroes because
of their color, but from their manner of liv-
ing. In many cities it is customary for
large number of them to occupy the same
dwelling, and proper attention not being
| paid to cleanliness of habits, the cholera and
other contagious diseases are engendered.
In most parts of our country no care has
been given to the culture and education of
the negroes, so that they live in a semi-civ-
ilized manner, which would naturally bring
on diseases among people, be they black OF
white. If necessary care is taken, there
need be no fears in regard to the cholera
visiting Bridgeton. While the Overseers
are keeping our public roads in such good
order, we hope they will give their speedy
attention to the various lanes running be-
| tween the streets. We could point out
| lanes where filth of all kinds is thrown, un-
til it becomes not only source of annoy
ance to the neighborhood, but would tend
to spread the cholera, if it should appear
among us. Special care should be taken by.
householders in regard to the condition of
their cellars. Decayed vegetables, or any
thing likely to occasion disease, should be at
once removed, and the cellar thoroughly
whitewashed, lime being one of the best
disinfectants that can be used.

G. w. MCGOWAN, Recorder.

At it's recent meeting in Wilkesbarre, the
Pennsylvania Editorial Association adopted
a resolution calling upon Congress to repeal
the new law for collecting postage on news
papers delivered in their respective counties,
and prohibiting free exchanges. There
seemed to be little difference of sentiment
on the subject The new law was consid-
cred as an act of retaliation by Congress
upon the newspapers for their advocacy of
the abolition of the franking privilege. AS
public opinion on the subject, in and out of
the newspaper profession, is practically
unanimous in favor Of repeal, it is pretty
clear that Congress will have to back out
and restore the old order Of things.
