A THROUGH RAILROAD.-A dispatch to
the N. Y. Times last week states that prepa-
rations are being made for the construction Of
another air line railroad between New York
and Philadelphia. A private meeting was re-
Gently held by representatives of the Central
Railway of New Jersey, North Pennsylvania,
and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Companies,
at which resolutions were passed to build rail-
road across New Jersey, having for its terrni-
nal points Philadelphia and Jersey City. The
new road will be constructed in accordance
with the Free Railroad laws of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. The capital for the enter
prise will be furnished by prominent Phia-
delphians and New Workers and Jersey
The route of the new line is described as fol-
lows: ",The tracks Of the North Pennsyl-
v sahi Railroad, viii he used to Doylestown
the terminus. At this spointsa branch will
connect with Pennington, N j., where the
main line of the Central Of New Jersey will
BE foaclIea, ant From there a strsigf connect
ion will be made to New York"
The proposed railroad from Doylestown,
via Rabbit RIM tabove New Hope, and
Prallsville. to Pennington, is, doubtless, in
tended as a portion of the above route

WnIsKEY AND FIGnTs.-On Saturday even
ing, at one Of the New Hope hotels, quite n
rumpus occurred. Two or three parties, I'M
der the influence of rum, got into dispute,
which resulted in a fight, and it was almost
impossible to restore order for while.
On the same evening, at one of the saloons,
a quarrel arose, and the parties went into the
street to settle their difficulties. While coats
were being thrown off, officer benson made
his appearance and took one of the men to
the lookup.

ry- Strangers discover, oftentimes bust
ness advantages and valuable Openings and
deposits, which are unnoticed or UNDECIDED by
those who have lived all their lives in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of them. This is the
case, certainly, with the Goat Hill stone quar-
ries below our city, For years these stones
were considered to be unfit for any use what

too hard for blasting or working and our peo-
nile have been going miles away for fine build

RuNAwAY.-On last Wednesday morning.
Martin johnson, butcher, of New Hope went
to David Reeder's after calves, and while leav-
ing the horse standing for Il minute or two,
the animal became frightened and ran
away. He ran toward New Hope, and struck
a lamp post near the toll gate, breaking the
post. When on Mechanics street, near the
school house, the wagon struck n post, broke
the shafts, and injured the wagon somewhat.
Two calves were thrown out of the wagon
somewhere on the route.

The Ringees Grange of Patrons Of Hus-
bandry met in Weber Hall, pursuant to a
public notice in the County papers. Morti-
mer Whitehead, a farmer of Somerset, was
present and,gaye an address to a large and
respectable audience of Farmers, who listened
very attentively The speaker set forth that
it was a secret order for the benefit of Farm
ers its object being to protect, teach, and
cultivate that class. In the history OF the
world, it is necessary to have armies to pro-
tect the people. Where one hundred men are
united, they could put to fight one thousand
who are not united. The speaker said that
anything that Benefits farmers, benefits the
whole reommunity---eyery class of citizens
1t. is the farmers privilege to be equal to
any other class. We have always been de-
dependent on the middle men. The Patrons
propose to save that we pay to them, to q
Oranges why would they have spread so
rapidly? The work of the Oranges has three
objects: LIST, Intellectual; End, Social
and Sd, Moral. intellectually teach the
farmer his profession, is the tirst-to improve
his,mipd, Sc. g. SocallywTto bring farmers
and &hcir wives together to inculcate char
ity and to help one another Morally--to in
culcate honesty and economy The sspeaker
said since the organization of the State gran
&c, two months Since. arrangements have
already been made with different manufac-
turcrs for maclinerya and fertilizers and in the
Oranges of the Southern part Of the State for
5000 bushels of clover seed for their own
use. The speaker dwelt on many things
whereby the farmer could be benefited
through the grange. FT{1.
G. F. Fisher, Esq, made some remarks on
the benefits to be derived and questions
from those present were asked and answered
on several subjects of importance to the
farming interest.

A VISIT TO FRENeHTowN.-We paid
Frenchtown visit a few days ago, and found
that the town is pleasantly located on the Del
aware river Most of the streets are regular
" laid out, with side walks, trees planted, &c,
and the dwellings, have neat and comfort
able appearance We noticed that some of
the streets are quite narrow, being not over
30 IT. wide. The walks are mostly made of
wood The street lamp posts are wood. Most
of the buildings are built of wood, and Il
good part Of the business carried OH there is
in wood-principally spokes, wagon wheels,
and lumber You might call it thorough
wooden town. We called at the Waste
Cleaning establishment located there and
were shown by the gentlemanly foreman
through the factory. Oily waste that has
been used for wipng machinery is thoroughly
cleaned of oil and dirt, and prepared by I'M
proved machinery for use again. We were told
that the firm was quite busy on orders. This
is quite an establishment for Frenchtown.
There is running on the east side of the
town quite large creek. Judging by
the stream of water passing, it could be
made quite good water power, with proper
dams up the valley. There are at present
two or three mills located along the
stream.
We learn that some of the citizens have
shown quite 1; spirit of enterprise i'll laying
out new streets, in building and in other i'm
provements, within the last few years.
Frcpchtown is an odd place. We were tod
that there was not an Irishman ora Negro Nv
in it, and only four foreigners-three Germans
and one Scotchman, and most of the work
done there is by men who belong to the oider
of American Mechanics.
Generally produce is much cheaper therc
than at Lambertville. Butter Is from 10 ~
cents per ID. and eggs to 10 cents per score
cheaper Meat 2 or cents less, and rents
considerably lower. On account of these and
other advantages, we think it would DC a gooo
location for Shoe Mandatory
While in at one of the hotels VIC learned
that the Foundry and Machine shops there
were to be offered for sale IN the afternoon.
We noticed two strangers interviewing the
Il was suggested by them that he ought to
nurchase the place. He stated that he had
notion of buying one of the ice freezers maze
there. Says he, "you see | could freeze gin
cocktails. already mixed, and would only have
to thaw them out when ordered at the bar. -
The strangers thought it capital idea We
went to the sale after that, to see what spccu-
lations we could make They had curious
way of conducting sale there. The Auc-
tioneer and clerk mount work bench. the
Auctioneer calls the attention Of the people
TO the conditions of the sale, the clerk reads
them, then the Auctioneer says, Gentlemen
what can have bid for this valuable proper
tyr" $4,000 is named The bidding is slow !;
he gets down and circulltcs through the
crowd. and if he sees a party that he thinks
has rot the material to buy with, he goes for
him. He takes things very easy. He is also
quito accommodating. We noticed country

of one hundred and fifty acres, and went TO
work clearing it, as it was very nearly all
wood land There his will showed itself in
the determination to do something. Clear
ing wood land in the low lands of Iowa was
not an easy task The timber is so massive,
with an underground so thick, it was inn
possible to pass through it. lie cleared a
number Of acres, it being done in such short
time that the neighbors said they never saw q
man like Blackwell---hc did as much work as
three men, While there, he built very neat
cabin Of hewn logs with spring house below,
as all the houses there were built below the
hills on account Of water. lie then started a
two-stofy hewnlog house, 3Sx16 feet, but be-
fore it was finished he sold, intending to re-
turn East, finding the climate did not agree
with him. The claim was called Blackwell
Place for q long time, and presume tits yet.
In 1889 he traded all for property in Dayen-
port and no money. and concluded to go to
ST. Louis, intending to leave for Jersey in the
fall, but the water in the Ohio River was 50
low the steamers could not run. 1t being a
dull time, many could not get work, yet Mr..
Blackwell always found plenty to do. He
would say, where there was a will there was a
way. In tho spring Of 1910, he arrived in
Lambertville with his wife and two children,
and with one hundred dollars he began the
world anew. On arriving at Lainbertvillc,
his mother proposed he should begin indie
pendently, so she told him to take a small
building in the rear Of the house. lie did SO,
invested his money in set of tools and went
to work. The first work was to mcnd table,
a small beginning, true, but he never despised
the day of small things, doing whatever came
to him. When he commenced building, he
met with opposition. Bringing with him the
idea of the western carpenters, instead Of
mortising the building together and calling
all the neighbors to help raise it, it was
nailed, much to the amusement of some of the
older carpenters of the place, who prophesied
it would soon blow over. If Gabriel should
come, he would still find it standing, with
many others. The Telegraph Hall, corner
of Union and Coryell Streets was the first
large building he put up, in western style,
being the first public Hall in the place; and
the first paper printed in Lambertvilc was
printed there and called The Telegraph.
Wise heads prophesied that the first large
gathering in it would crush the building, but
still it stands. When he first commenced the
cabinet business it was in Il frame building on
Union street, we'll filled with rcady-made
furniture and lumber. In the spring of 1S43
