gdg- An Oil Cabinet is among the novelties
of Cook & Johns hardware store, New Hope.
1t is an entirely new invention, and was pur-
chased of an agent of the Oil Cabinet Com
pany, it being patented in November 1875
1t is placed in the centre of the room, the
cabinet standing about four feet in height, and
about an equal number of feet in breadth,
with lid, and the whole well-lined with gall
vanized tin, with faucet or fountain within.
The barrels are rolled alongside the cabinet
and by the use Of small tin pump (made for
this purpose) the oil is drawn from the barrels
and deposited in the lower part of the cabi-
net, which holds about 100 gallons. This does
away with the unpleasant handling Of the oil,
saves time and labor; and what is also an i'm
portant feature about it is that no oil is vast
ed by drawing, as the fountain is directly over
the oil with but a thickness or two Of heavy
tin, which has a screen affixed around the fau-
Get which carries all the oil that would be 9TH
wise wasted into the tank beneath. 1t is a
great labor-saving and handy invention, and
no doubt will.prove to be convenience to its
owners.

eY- The swindler Carpenter, or Chapman,
whose performances have been the subject Of
SO many newspaper items, and whose escape
from jail in Doylestown was one of the events
of the season, has at last met with his deserts
He was tried recently before Judge Stowe, Of
Pittsburg, for an attempt to defraud the In
ternational Bank of that city, in a manner
precisely similar to that undertaken by him
upon the Doylestown National Bank. He
was fully identified by the bank officers, and
there was no trouble in convicting him. He
made strong effort to procure short sem
tence by promising to betray his accomplices,
but failed to do so. When taken into Court
for sentence he was accompanied by the wo-
man who claims to be his wife, and who paid
him a lengthy visit in Doylestown. She is
described as being very handsome young
woman, and elegantly dressed. Judge
Stowe, after the usual lecture to the prisoner,
sentenced him to pay the costs of prosecu-
tion and undergo imprisonment in the Yves
I tern Penitentiary for term of five years.
He will probably not be tried for the offence
committed in Bucks county.

EB- Another lecture of the series by
Miss Sanford, Prof. Of History, in Swarth-
more College, was delivered on Wednes-
day evening of last week, in the Presby-
terrain Chapel, New Hope, her subject being
continuation of her previous lecture ON
Rome and one of unusual interest. The
lecturer set forth the merits and dement's of
Rome in a striking and comprehensive man
ner. The Romans were noted forskil in ar
chitecture, sculpture, the building Of bridges,
aqueducts &c. They lived for their State
having no higher ambition than to fill the po-
sition that their fathers, grandfathers and
great grandfathers had occupied. With them,
to be a Roman was greater than to be king !
The father was the absolute ruler of his house,
hold. The women, however, were no where
in History more respected and revered than in
Rome. The people of Rome, after they had
been subject to the rule Of king, had such
intense hatred to kings as to make it hazar-
dous for aspirants for power and influence,
who were declied with the sentence -" He
seeks to make himself king and many
suffered martyrdom who would have been the
building-up of the Roman Empire. The poor
of Rome were an unfortunate people, subject
to the power of the ricii--meniai slaves --in-
asmuch as they were the clients of the rich,
laboring for them and in return receiving their
protection. Their bodies were in some cases,
for the non-payment of debts, cut to pieces,
according to the amount due each creditor
and there was no Romish law restricting the
amount of blood to be shed for the punish
ment of crimes of any character, either for
great or small offences. The Romans were a
close listed, hard-hearted people, and inexor-
able as enemies-military glory and chivalry
being the height of their ambition. They
lived and died for their State, and by their
thorough discipline and undaunted courage
Rome was recognized as the mistress of the
world. At the conclusion of thelecture Miss
Sanford read poem on Romish maiden
whose father took her life with his own sword
rather than see her put to shame. The speak
err is good elocutionist and delivered her lee
ture and the recited the poem with such
satisfaction to all as to make it highly enter
tanning.

Executive Committee was held at Pennington
on Monday. They arranged for the caucus
meetings, and tried to settle difficulty which
exists in'the Second District, but failed TO do
SO. 1t appears that several townships claim
the right to name the candidate and all are
resolved to bring out their favorites. If this
is persisted in, the " liveliness of their
caucus will far exceed that of the one in the
First District two years ago.

FouND.-The horse, carriage and harness
recently stolen from Hart & Rogers, of this
city, have been discovered. Mr. Hart was in
Phila. yesterday looking for his lost proper
ty, but left for Kensington station without
hearing of it. When at or near the station,
curiously enough, he saw his horse pass by,
attached to a strange carriage. He hailed the
driver, but as he did not stop, he ran after
him and grasped the horse by the head. This
rather astonished the man, but on Mr.. Harris
telling him of the circumstances, he express
ed bis willingness to deliver up the team If
the ownership was proved, and stated of
whom he had purchased it, A policeman was
secured and the man from whom he had pur-
chased it was found and arrested. The car
rage was also found. Rev. MIR. Studdiford and
Mr. JAS b. Smith, went to Phila. this morning
to see if they could identify the man as the
one who took the outfit from this city. If he
proves to be that person, he will be brought
to Lambertville as soon as requisition can
be obtained.
P. S.-The thief, who gave his name as
Moore, was brought to Lambertvlle this af-
ternoon. He was taken before Justice Hay
hurst where he confessed to the theft both of
Hart & Rodgers horse and of one at Bclleville.
He was committed to the county Jail.

rW- The Trenton True american and a
few other papers are criticising the excursions
of the Editorial Association of this state
The True American thinks that they are
q degrading and discreditable to the press"
because they are run on the dead-head system,
etc. This charge is not true. The Executive
Committee of the Association endeavor to get
reduced rates Of fare, but have never, we
venture to say, asked any railroad to carry
them, or any hotel to entertain them, free of
charge. We doubt not that any excursion
party of two Or three hundred can make
the same terms with the railroads and hotels
that the Editorial Association does. Itwould,
indeed, be strange if an excursion party were
not carried and entertained at less rates than
those for single individual What there is
discreditable in this we are unable to see
Even if all that these papers say were true,
the proper place for their complaints is in the
meetings of the Association. The good name
Of the Editorial fraternity 0or which they
profess such great regard should have kept
them from such public and unfair criticism.

c. Tile reconstruction Department = on
the United Railroads of New Jersey Division
of the Pennsylvania r. r., of which Ashbel
WEIGH, Esq, of this city, has been Chief
Engineer, has been abolished. This depart
ment has had charge of all new work on the
Joint roads, and has for two years past been
principally engaged in the improvements at
Harsimus Cove. This work, we are told, has
SO Far progressed, that it will answer all de-
mands for a few years TO come; and the
Pennsylvania Company have decided to enter
upon no new work for year or two. Con-
sequently, there is at present no further use
for this department. A number Of residents
| Of this city were employedin it. tits belicved,
however, that most, if not all of them, will be
employed by the Pennsylvania Company in
other positions.
Mr.. WEIGH, whose marked ability as an
engineer has been SO long recognized, and
whose knowledge of the United Railroads OF
New Jersey in every department and detail
is SO thorough, is too valuable officer for the
Company to willingly spare. We learn that
he has been offered a position as Consulting
Engineer We have not learned of his ac-
ceptance. Neither should we judge that such
excellent, experienced and faithful men as
-Messrs. Thos. B. Fidler, and e. H. Solliday,
of the Engineer corps, Mr. Ii. B. Ely, of the
Accounting department, and others, would be
allowed to leave the Company sservice.

AN INTERESTING CAsE.--A suit brought by
VIM. H. Murphy, of this city, against the
Belvidere Delaware II. r.. Co., for overcharge
on freight from New York to this city, was
tried before Justice Hayhurst on Wednesday
of last week. Col. VIM. Halstead, of Trenton,
appeared for the plaintiff and G. A. Skillman,
Esq, of this city, for the defendants. A
twelve-men jury was empaneled, and several
hours were occupied in the hearing of the
case. On the part of the plaintiff it was al
legged that the company had charged Mr..
Benz. Rice, of this city, double rates on a case
of segars, in violation of the rates fixed by
the statutes. . 1t was claimed on the part Of
the defence that the Company were author
lied by special law to charge double rates on
express matter and goods specially liable to
damage. The jury, after some elaboration,
brought in a verdict for the plaintiff. The
Company will carry the case to higher
court.
The trial attracted large crowd Of people,
who were drawn together to great extent
perhaps, by curiosity to hear Col Halstcad,
the old "anti-monopoly warehouse" who is
now past eighty, and totally blind.

A JERK FROM THE g LEVER. Some
months since the editor of The Beacon as
serted in his paper that he saw in his inn
agination the greatest liar in the country. =
We were at loss at the time to know just
what he meant-whether he had mistaken his
mirror for his imagination, or whether his
imagination was really so vivid as to reflect
his inner consciousness. In either case we
thought he was pretty hard ON himself But
after reading an article in his last issue, we
are not prepared to say that the young man
does not know himself better than any one
else yet we trust that his case is not as bad
as he intiniates.
He charges us, in our criticisms of a public
officer Mayor Sergeant, of course, with s'deal-
ing out slang, !" g showing envy and malice, .
and using "blackguardism for argument" No
mans work is done when he makes charge
the next thing is to prove it. Until the ed
itor does this, he stands self-condemnedb before
the public as a maligner and falsiier.
Pray tell us of whom we are envious? This
is the second time the young man has made
this charge. Certainly, not of him There
are heights to which no ordinary mortal can
hope to soar. Once perhaps in century
there appears a man who rises so far above
his fellows that be does not come in
competition with them at all. Such one
is the editor of The Beacon. He alone
in history is recorded as Rushing to the
front, grasping the lever that moves the
world " and showing his willingness to
push" He is away beyond our envy Neith-
er do we feel envious of our Mayor--any hon.
or which he may gain by his official course he
may willingly keep for aught we care.
When the editor cleans his columns of the
vulgar and indicate anecdotes, ETC., which
SO often find a place there, rendering the
paper unfit for the family circle, it will be time
enough for him to give lectures to others on
"decency.' If we desire to learn "De-
cency in Journalism, about which he pirates,
we shall hardly take that paper as teacher.
