LIBERALITY.--Sofle of our business men
have always been noted for their. libelality.
but we never saw an exemplitication of it un-
til recently. A farmer drove up in front of
one of our stores with d load of produce,
amongst which were 20 or 80 goo,l sized Gu
cumbers, for which he asked the sum of 10
cents. The price seemed rather extrayagant to
the store keeper, and finally after great deal
of talking, he concluded to take 3 cents for
them, and went into the store to get the mon
ey. Hard times was the cry and the farmer
was finally induced to trade it out, which he
did, and received mint sticks in return for
his produce. The farmer was about to drive
off, when out came the merchant, and wanted
tc know if he could not take little less for
those cucumbers, as he had made up his mind
that he had paid too much for them, and his
wife threatened to throw them out of the
store, if he did not get some reduction
Farmers, as o general thing, are honest and
always want a fair bargain ; and SO our coun-
try friend pat his hand into his pocket, drew
out one of the sticks from it and handed it to
the merchant, s. wing that he did not want
anything more than what was right. 1t was
too much for our mt reliant; he turned around
and ran into the store, amid the laughter of
the crowd which had collected around He
does not want any more cucumbers this Sum-
mer and he says he will not try to joke with
any more farmers.

gE The Tax Collector of New Hope while
ont on tax-colIecting mission, on Monday
of this week, came in contact with d taxable
citizen who was considerably in arrears--to
the amount of The tax for four years, and re-
quested him to " settle-up." The man was
somewhat obstinate and refused, whercupon,
the Tax Collector, after asserting the justice of
his claim, and finding that all argument on
this subject was futile, arrested him, and
made vigorous effort in endeavoring to pro-
cure a conveyance, in which to convey the
would-be non-tax-payer to Doylestown. This
determined aspect of affairs had somewhat of
a dampening influence upon his pre-conceived
security from !" TAKE atherers," and by the
advice of his best friends, and after much an
CRY discussion, he came to the conclusion that
it would be better to "come to terms :" than
to have any further controversy with What he
considered as "a pest and ga nuisance"

Con- TmrnvrSo.-The coal merchants Of
New Hope are being constantly bothered by
petty "coai s.ealcrs," who from time to time,
have been caught piltcfing coal from Their
yards. Mr. Jos. p. Stockton, and also Jos.
S. Hart, and no doubt all the coal yards,
more or less have been thus visited. 1t
would be encouraging for the merchants if
the perpetrators Of these offences were fer
rcted out and brought to justice, SO that
honest men and their property may be pro
tected from the thievings of dishonest per-
sons.

A-eENT.-A short time ago, New Hope was
canyassed by photograph agent" for the
purpose of copying pictures of the deceased,
and canvassing for photography generally
He offered great inducements, and many of
tho citizens availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity Of having their deceased friends and
relatives pictures re-taken. The conditions
were as follows: Any picture copied If it
was not considered a good picture-tlsGpur-
chaser was not obliged to take and the re-
turn of the original picture was assured On
Tuesday of this week, said "canvasser re-
turned with his pictures and began delivering
them to his subscribers. He called at one of
the citizens houses and produced his copied
picture The picture, however, did not suit
the landady, and she did not desire to take it.
She requested the return of the original, as
per contract THIS the agent refased-lnd
walked off On the arrival home at noon OF
Mr.. -, and upon being informed OF the
conduct before mentioned, he sent a man over
the river bridge tQajpay the picture OF the
agent, who was then Nm Lambertyie, and also
had a warrant issued in New Hope for his ar
rest. The person acting as decoy purchased
the original picture of the unsuspecting agent
for the sum of SO, and when the swindler re-
turned to New Hope he was arrested by
Stephen S. Ely, aud taken before A. b. John
son. Esq. The agent, after hearing, was
ordered to pay the cost Of the picture and AL
the other costs attached to the case. The
case was compromised the agent depart

the canal feeder lock below this city. A set

taking hold of it with hooked pole and
drawing it up, it proved to be sturgeon u

The fish was alive, and it proved quite prize

CANDIDATES FOR orrrcE.-

"rhere Is tide in the affairs of men,
Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"
And how many there are who suppose, that
to be candidate for office, is the sure food of
that tide to them, and the opportunity which
if omitted
All the voyage of their lives
Will be bound in shadows and in miserics"
Shakespeare seems to have understood this
subject to perfection, this longing after Office
we mean, or rather this opportunity to serve
the State. He says -
"who sa.ks and will not take when once It's offered
Shall never find it more"
And it does seem that from the number who
are willing to make the sacrifice, that noD is
the accepted time with them. and they think,
The means that heaven yields must be embraced,
And not neglected.
SO much for opportunity. and now for fit
ness. Whoever saw candidate for Office, who
did not feel
SO crammed as he thinks with Excellencies
That 1t is his ground of faith,
That ali that look upon him, love him"
Aud when he comes to you, and offers you
! that friendly hand, he seems to say
1910 Fear moi my advancement
will be the man yet that shall make you great
Or with that benign smile SO predominant,
i" Since y0u will buckle fortune my back,
To bear her burdens, whether will or no.
must have patience to endure the load y
They talk about friendship for you, and ex-
poet you to be their friend, but forget that
Friendship is constant in all other things,
Save lin Office seeking and affairs OF love"
Next comes his Fidelity
His words are bonds his oatbs are oracles;
His love sincere, his thoughts immaculate;
His tears, pure messengers sent from his heart
His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth"
If you mention to them, that they ought
not to be pleading their own cause, they tell
you -
"Thcre's nothing to b. got nowadays unless thou
ean'st fish for it,"
They tell you that everybody is going to
vote for them, and everyone speaks In their
praise.
"a h! when the aas arc gone that buy this praise,
The breath is gone where this praise is made"
Soon comes the .fnale--
Farewea long farewell to all my greatness"
And when You would say something that is sad,
Speak how fell"

NEW RooF.--The congregation OF the
Presbyterian Church OF this city have been
putting new tin roof on their edifce. The
old one, which was of shingles, was put ON in
1853, and has stood the storms remarkably
we'll, although many of the shingles were
pretty well rotted off. Que remarkable
feature in regard to the preservation Of the
shingles is this. 1t was noticed that those
below the steeple were in good state of pre-
servation, every one being as sound as when
put there. Mr.. Ogden lIoleomhe explains it
in this way. The oil and paint which washed
from the steeple ran down on and between the
shingles, thus coating them with paint and
oil, just where they needed it most. 1t has
long been question whether paint preserved
shingles. If they were all painted before they
were put on 1t certainly would do SO, as is
fully proved in this case. The roof is 75x60
feet. The work was put out by contract, to
the lowest bidder. Messrs. Lair's and J. w.
Crook & IS, bids were just the same, so the
work was divided between them. About
1000 square feet of tin is required to cover the
part that needs roofing.

GuNNINo.-Mr. c. II. W. Vansciver. OF this
city, was on a cunning tour down at Burling
ton last Monday, and succeeded in baggiag a
fine lot of birds, consisting of reed and rail,
These birds appear in large numbers during
the months of August and September, on the
Marshes. and are shot by sportsmen in large
quantities. The reed birds bring from so cts.
to $1.00 per dozen, by shooting them and send
ing them to Pl,ila., where there is always a
ready market for all they can kill. Rail birds
are shot single, and in order to get at them it
is necessary to push through the reeds in a
boat, when the birds viii fly upland of in %
straight line for about so or 100 yds. and
alight again.. Gen. +. Bird Grubb, shot l75
birds on one ride during the season, which is
considered extraordinarily good work. Perch
fishing is also fine sport at this season of the
year. t - Sass a

SODA WATER.~-We thought everybody
knew what soda water is, but were mistaken.
A person from the rural districts stepped in-
to one of our drug stores the other day, and
after taking in view of the store, spied the
soda fountain, and asked il it was ice water
there, and il he could have a drink. Upon
being answered in thu authoritative, he pro-
ceeded to draw some of the water in tumb-
ler and after suacking his lips, remarked,
that it had queer taste, but was rather good,
for all, and guessed he would try another
glass. The druggist told him to help him
self. which he did, and after satisfying his
thirst walked quietly, out OF the store, re-
marking, that he had never seen ice water
with such head on it before.

MOUNT AIRY, n. D., SEPT. 20, 1874.
SHARP PRACTICAL few days ago, as Mr..
E. B. IIocombe was driving along the Rock
town Road, and when near that ancient little
village, he saw swarm of bees alight on
bush by the waysidc, and with his quick dis
covering eye saw that by little prompt
man@uvering their beesshipcould be captured.
"Old Bill was Immediately persuaded to in
crease his pace, and in few minutes drew up
at farmers house, where a hive with wind
ing sheet and all necessary apparatus were
procured. Mr.. II. then performed counter
march at breakncck gait, and found the
bees patiently awaiting his return. Then
commenced some of the most scientific
maaeuvering ever witnessed, at times resemb-
ling the motions Of a Singing School master,
right left, down, up, &C., but eventually the
bees were placed in the hive and carefully set
aside. Mr.. II. then proceeded on his journey
as happy as bee, and on arriving home, ate
hearty supper, after which he summoned
his assistant and the two proceeded to the
place where the bees were left, but imagine
his surprise and his disgust of thieves and
uutSiars Behelshy, dfri'hts dt Inc pace ana
finding that some one had not only carried off
his prize, but also the catooterments which
he had borrowed for the occasion

will be kept as quiet as possible, as Mr.. Ii. is
