of our country, "crossed the Delaware but
iaa,s opposite 3dirrctien, md m the classic
shades of New Hope found themselves in a
somewhat confused condition in mental
point Of view. It occurred to them after
such deliberationas they wero capable of, that
they had better rccross that historic stream,
but whether for the purpose of an advance
or retreat, does not at this writing distinctly
appear. But recross they did to Lambertville.
They commenced a march with a peculiar
stop Hp Union street toward tlie r Duck
Hotel, :, But the ssrs argus csyes Of po,icchsan
Cummings were upon them, and when they
had arrived withina short distance of that
classic spot their march was arrested, and
they were kindly conducted to the stone
building which may appropriately be named
the Hospital d Inebriates,'' where they
passed tho night---in, contemplation of the
heroic deeds which had come to such sudden
termination. Issai asiiaas.5 t4ia
On the next morning, which was Sunday,
they were brought before Justice IIayhurst,
who upon giving them a patient hearing of
their case, decided that on account of the cx-
treme condition Of enjoyment which they had
manifested, they had better pay to the
constituted authorities the sum Of four dollars
each, which, after some delay and some app
propriate conversation, was done, and they
were released and advised to return to their
native haunts and there pursue theirreilections

caustic style. Mr.. Skillman, it is generally
agreed, handled his case with much skill and
did not allow the Captain" to get the better

1t is reported that the principal difference

whether the Council had right to pass the

If this is so, we must confess that Lambert
vile juries assume awider scope Of duty than
most others. 1t is generally left to the Courts
to decide the constitutionality or legality of
