No rose OF June may bloom againl

A gift OF mystic virtue dwells.
That points to golden ores below,
And in dry desert places tells
How now unseen the cool, swee, wells.

~ meeting was called on Wednesday
evening last, at the Solebury public. school
house, by delegations of citizens-re residents
of New Hope and Solebury, for the purpose
of considering the propriety of instituting a
lyceum The turnout was quite good and
much interest was manifested in the enter
prise. After due deliberation, it was unani-
mously agreed by all present to institute the
lyceum, and that at once. The question nat
urally arose as to the proper location for hole
ing the meetings of the Society. The decs-
ion was given-that it should be held on one
of the stated meeting nights in the public
school-house aforesaid and on the next regu-
lar meeting OCCASION in the Friends Meeting
house, in New Hope A Committee on BY
Laws was appointed, and instructed to meet
at the residence of DIR. j. Scarborough, in
New Hope, on Thursday evening of this week,
Arrangements were then made for those who
had identified themselves with the Society to
meet at the school house, at o'clock on the
following Saturday evening" for further con-
sideration of the subject No definite ar
engagements have yet been decided upon, as
regards the hour and evenings for holding
such meetings.

HuRRAH FOR HoLLAND.-The editor of
the Clinton Democrat, last Spring, was very
indignant over the +" Holland outrage" and
quite jubilant over the success of the Demo-
cracy in the first election held in the new
township, and he appeared to think that that
township was reliably Democratic, notwith-
standing the expectations of the Republicans.
We replied that g When the votes are counted
next Fall he will find that Holland rolls up a
Republican majority. Mark that down."
Our prophecy has been verified, and Hol-
land gives between fifty and sixty majority
for the Republican ticket. Holland is the
oasis in the great Democratic desert.

A SUSPICIOUS CHARAcTER.--Op Saturday
evening last, suspicious character was seen
prowling around the premises of Mr.. James
McGuigan, residing a short distance above
New Hope, lin Manchester.) McGuigan and
wife did not retire until late in the evening,it
appears, and McGuigan had not yet fallen to
sleep, when noise was heard by him which
sounded like some one trying to enter the
house. He instantly arose, and on raising a
window saw a man standing in the doorway.
Michigan fastened down stairs and unfasten-
ed the door. The man was then seen standing
over in the shadow of the barn. Michigan
inquired of the man his business there at that
hour of night, but received no answer. He
again asked him what he wanted. The man,
after some hesitation, replied that lie want
ed bed. At this point some one passing
along the road stopped and inquired of Nc
Guigan, what he was doing. The prowler, on
hearing the second party's voice, took to his
heels. Michigan fired al the retreatiDg man,
but with what effect is unknown, he making
good his escape.

DEATH OF WILLIAM CowIN.-We an
nounce. with sorrow the death of William
Gown, Esq, which occurred at his residence
in this city, last evening.
For a year Oh. two past Mr.. G. had been in
failing health, and he had visited several To-
calities in hope of relief A few weeks ago
he returned homo from residence of several
months in France and Egypt, without having
received any permanent benefit, and be
gradually sank from that time.
Mr.. Gown was one Of the most prominent
business men in our city, having been for
years the proprietor Of the "Lambcrtville
Iron Works, one Of our largest manufactur-
ing establishments. He also held several
public positions, such as Mayor City Treas
urer, Superintendent of Public Schools, etc.
In all these he left an honorable record for
ability and integrity.
But it was as citizen and as a friend that
he stood highest. As a citizen, liberal and
public spirited, he took q deep interest in the
business prosperity of the city, and was al
ways foremost in every work for the public
benefit. As friend he was kind, generous,
and true, and those who knew him best, loved
him most. The death of no one in this COM
munify, we have reason to believe, has been
more generally lamented than his
In this hastily prepared sketch, we are con-
scious that we have not done justice to the
qualities of heart and mind of one so gener-
ally respected and loved. We hope to have
prepared more extended sketch for our next
issue.

~ 1t has been suggested to us that the
city gas bills ought to be less than they are
that the city is paying as much per thousand
feet for gas as is the smallest consumer. This
ought not to be. As large consumer as the
city is, should have it at reduced price.
While on the subject of gas, we would like
to ask why we cannot have it purified as it is
in most places. The gas is SO impure that
the fixtures get gummed fast in a very little
while.

US The FrenchtosoD Press still persists in
claiming truth for its story that about every
other store and house in this city is for rent,
on account of the hard times, and to prove
Thames seven stores, three houses and one
hotel that are unoccupied in place consisting
probably, of some seven hundred buildings.
Two of the stores it names are occupied, and
three of the stores and three of the houses
have been more or less vacant for the past
three years. There are but few more vacant
houses in the place than could be found at
any time within the past five years. The
gentleman !" who, according to the Press
knows that " there are more than three
dozen houses standing idle," makes state
ments that he cannot verify in our opinion
We, at least, after inquiring, have not been
able to learn of any such number of unoccu-
pied houses.

many unpaid bills. THE stock on hand will
be sold at constable's sale on Monday next,
and the proceeds will probably pay the hands.
The rent was unpaid and thus their right to
the premises was forfeited. Krehbiel is de-

where to keep both eyes open for him, printers

STg- A discussion occurred between Consta-
bic Solomon and Dallas Robbins, both of New
Hope, one day in the latter part of last week,
in which both tried to set forth the others de,
merits, to the best manner possible Robbins,
in turn charged Constable Solomon with in
efficiency as Detective, and strongly insnu-
ated that he (Robbins) himself knew who fired
the barn of Geo. A. Cook, about year ago
On this assertion, Constable Solomon arrested
Robbins, and lodged him in the lookup, and
on Saturday had hearing before Esquire
Johnson and was placed under bail for his APP
pearance at 9 o'clock on Monday. On Mon
day at clock he again made his appearance
at the Office OF Justice johnson, who again
Replaced him under bail of $500 for his APP
pearance at the next session of the Court
The hearings before Justice johnson develop
ed nothing. His statement was that what he
intimated to Constable Solomon, was not at
all from knowledge, and was said on the spur
of the moment, to be even with him.

"a An interesting case was tried before
Esquire Hayhurst on Saturday last. It was
an action brought by VIM. G. Murphy, qut
tam plaintiff, against the Bel. Del. II. r. Co.
to recover a penalty of 500, for taking of
more toll for the transportation of merchan-
die from New York via. S. Amboy to Lam
bertville then they were authorized by law to
charge. The case was conducted on the part
of the plaintiFby VIM. Halstead, Esq. and on
the part of the defendant by 9. A. Skillman,
Esq The principal question involved in the
case was whether the railroad companies had
right to charge toll on the waters between
the City of n. Y. and S. Amboy, or not. The
defendants counsel contended that they had
such right but the plaintiffs counsel denied it,
and the jury which had been called by the
defendants in the case rendered verdict in
favor of the plaintiff of a 500 penalty.
BY mutual agreement four similar cases
will be tried before Justice Hayhurst on next
Wednesday morning.

GRAND PARADE. --On last Wednesday even
ing, the Democrats of this city made a de
monstraticn in honor of the glorious vic
tory . achieved over the Republicans. The
forces were commanded by Gen Darby, who
man@uvered the Broomstick Brigade with
consummate skill, ably seconded by the Grand
Duke Asa, and Stonewall jackson. Led by
the Lambertville Cornet Band, the procession
passed through all the principal streets, car
rying number of transparencies, some OF
them containing the following notices
"Office holders take warning.n They are
terribly hungry for those Offices.
"Clark, you can't catch the Irshmen. "
Not until we try.
"The tidal wave has come.n And like IT,
dial waves will retire soon.
Brayed out. This, possibly, was de-
signed to explain why the procession didn't
make more noise.
"What Col. A. went Bail for' Picture of a
jug.l 1t was astonishing how the procession
eyed this transparency. They thought there
was " something in it, The "tidal wave .
was two thin for them
But we will not particularize further.
The procession came to a dead halt in front
of the post office. 1t was plainly to be seen
what those "fellers" were thinking about.
Gen. Darby had sternly to order his force
forward before they could turn their eyes
from that attractive spot. Boys, that P. o. is
two years off yet, and then it is four years
distant.
Seriously, we were glad to see our Demo-
cratic brethren enjoying themselves. 1t has
been so very long since they have had a
chance on SO large scale, that their recent
victory fairly makes them slop over with joy.
So far as we are aware, they conducted them
selves in an orderly manner and everything
passed off pleasantly.
Tomorrow evening we presume the Demo-
cracy will "sound the hu-gag, and beat the
tong-jon |" in grand style. A grand process
sion, with music, .torch-lights, &C., will
waken up the people, and then Elk. Gov RAN
dolph, (the genuine X. N, Senator John p.
Stockton, Attorney Gen. Gilchrist and j. N.

There is to-day no more popular law than
that which forbds the sale of Intoxicating
drinks during election hours, 1t has com
pletely changed the state of things that
usually prevailed on election days. Instead
of staggering men and brutal fights we have,
with but here and there an exception, sober
citizens quietly engaged in the discharge of

that respectable landlords are the best friends
of this law.-Doytcstow Mirror.
We can bear the Same testimony, also, as
