HARD TIMES.


Mr.. EDITOR THE times are very dull and
trying to many. What produces this state of
affars9 The principal cause Of indebtedness
and hard times, we answer, is pride and ex-
travagance, which is exhibited on all sides,
and which may be seen in fine houses and
furniture, high living and dress; and the
trouble is the poor are too much inclined to
initiate the rich. Much advice is being ten
dered the working people just now that is un-
necessary. True, they need to be careful,
economical in the present dizziness of trade,
and forbearing to their employers But as a
rule this is just what the average American
laborer is. He can be depended upon just as
much and as firmly as formerly. Unlike the
banker and capitalist, he does not seize favor
able opportunities to get rich by shaving and
specializing, and impoverishing others. The
1aborng classes of this country with their
sturdy industry, economy and intelligence, as
revealed in their homes, their savings banks
and building associations, are it's conservative
force, and should be respected as such.

A MAD CANDIDATE.-We won't vouch for
the truth of it, but good story is told of a
certain candidate in this county. He stopped
with farmer the other day. He shook
hands with him, inquired kindly after the
family, strolsed the cat, kissed the baby and
handed a cracker to the dog and walked out
on the farm. He praised the horses and the
cattle and went into ecstacies over the poul-
try was just three-quarters of an hour in
getting the calves from one pasture into an
other held down couple of sheep whilst
the young men sheared them turned the
grind stone while the old man ground the axe
and scythe, and then made the discovery that
the farmer hadn't been in the State long
enough to vote. 1t is said if that candidate
was to spend the rest of his natural life in
prayer, he couldn't mend what he did in those
few minutes after making that discovery.

CLOSE OF THE HISTORIC LECTURES. The
closing Historic lecture (of the series Office
lures delivered by Miss Sanford, Prof. of
History, in Swarthmore College, in the Pres
byterian Chapel, New Hope,) was delivered
on Saturday evening last, her subject being
principally Reformation. This lecture
was fully up to the high standard of Historic
information with which all her lectures were SO
highly freighted. As speaker and a teach
or, Miss Sanford ranks very highly, and those
who attended the course Of lectures could not
fail to gather much INFORMATION. The people
fhave shovn their appreciation Of her efforts
by not only their prompt attendance but by
their earnest desire to receive Instruction.
The audience was largely composed Of Friends
many of whom have children entrusted to
her tuition in Swarthmore College. She
spoke very encouragingly to those parents,
saying, that the children were making rapid
advancements, and they had a right to be
proud of their children" At the close Of the
lecture Mr.. w. P. Magill offered resolution
Of thanks to the lecturer, and also to the
sexton and the denomination which the
Chapel represented it was seconded and
carried unanimously. Miss Sanford, then. in
heartfelt words, thanked them for the inter-
est in and kindness shown her during her
visit among them.
The amount realized from the course of
lectures in New Hope amounted to sos

To tile editor Of I" The record
The seventh section of the act OF incorpor-
alton of the Belvidere Delaware Rail Road
Company, authorizes the president and direc-
tors to survey, lay out, aud construct rail-
road sewith as many sets Of tracks or rails as
they may deem necessary - and the fifteenth
section of the same act declares the road "a
public high,oay," and that it shall be con-
structed with track for one.or more horses
free for tie passage Of any railroad carriage
thereon"
A "public highway" means according to
law 81 way ON which citizens may pass and
repass at pleasure with their horses, car
riages, vehicles, &C., and by our statute they
must always turn to the right. How can TINS
be done on a railroad with but one track
why did the Legislature use the words
"set of tracks, instead of the words zone or
more tracks, as are used in other charters
Suppose there was any ambiguity in the
words s..set of tracks, then the rule of law is
that all antiquities must be construed in ia

whether he thinks it is to the benefit OF the

~ Annie Morse, little daughter Of
David Morse, of New Hope, met with an ac-
cident on Monday last. The child, we under
stand, was descending a long fight of
steps which led from the street down to the
house, (the house being situated OIL bank be-
low the level of the street,, and was carrying
something in her hand, when by accident she
fell hcadlong down the steps and landed at
the bottom upon protruding, nail which ran
into the back of her neck, and seriously frac-
tured blood vessel, from which blood flow
ed copiously, and she was in quite danger
GUS situation until the timely arrival Of med
ical assistance. The child is under careful
treatment, and there are strong hopes for her
speedy recovery.

CUISINES AT a STAND ST1LL."-We no
tice that our exchanges are copying an article
from our contemporary, representing business
in this city as e at a stand-still." Such Ian
guage greatly misrepresents the actual facts
of the case and is calculated to have an in
furious effect on our interests, if left uncor-
rected. 1t is true that business IS dull, and a
number of mechanics are out of employment,
but that the dullness is greater than in other
manufacturing towns, we have no reason to
believe. None of our manufactures have
shut down. with one exception, and that only
for short period, although some are running
on short time, and with fewer hands. Our
INGREDIENTS generally are doing light, but
safe business, and on the whole, while busi-
ness is far from what could be desired, yet it
is a great way from standing still.
The Frenchtown Press of week before last
also painted the bad business prospects of our
city in such exaggerated colors as to become
travesty. According to it, about every 9TH
er house and store was for rent, and large
number of our mechanics were migrating to
Frenchtown. The facts are that some twen-
ty-five new houses have been built the pres
ent season in our city and only eight or ten
houses are unoccupied, and some of these are
standing idle because they are not tenantable.
Four stores and shops are unoccupied-two of
these have been unoccupied more or less for
two or three years past; while three new
stores have been opened and occupied the
present season. Only four or five mechanics
and their families have moved to Frenchtown
$50 far as we can ascertain) which, while it may
make very appreciate increase to the popu-
lation of that village, makes very insignif-
cant reduction to our population, and which
loss is more than made up by incoming popu-
lation.
So much for Lambertville and her business
prospects.

After the inspection by Col. Murphy, the
Regiment marched to the fair grounds, where
it was reviewed by Gov. Parker. The parade
drew out several thousand people from the
adjoining country, and the occasion was quite

used every effort to entertain the military in
handsome style, and carried out their part of
the programme in a creditable manner.

were local in character. In November the
