An up Jersey juryman, who agreed to a
verdict Of five thousand dollars damages in a
libel suit, now swears that no would not have
done so had he not feared he would be kept
out all night, and supports the defendant in
asking for new trial. That fellow ought to
be forever ineligible for jury duty. 1t is quite
probable that yerdicts are frequently made up
in the same manner, but the jurors are not
often fools enough to swear to the fact.

Cured on the Central Railroad near the line
between Somerset and Hunterdon counties, a
few days since. A lad named James Carroll
of Jersey City, was riding on a freight train
with his legs swinging between two cars--or

feet upon the other. The train was suddenly
stopped, when the boys legs were doubled up
and forced from their sockets at the knees.
He was taken to the Jersey City Hospital.

MOUNT AIRY. N. j. Lu1s1 1874


EDITOR LAMBERryIILE REcoRD Dear
Sir We noticed a lengthy article in the
Beacon, headed "a Gala Time at Mount
Airy at which numerous speeches were
made, songs sung and co npments of the
season exchanged in a most cordial and
friendly manner, and taking the thing in tho
whole neck might be considered complete
success; in fact we have every thing needful
to insure success on such occasions, living as
we do IN the country and in a land of liberty
untrammeled by Town Councils and Consta-
bles, and where friend can great friend in
the most friendly manner. Its not at all
surprising that our city cousins should take
advantage Of the present draught now prevail
ing in your city and avail themselves of the
bountilul blessings of the country and pay us
many friendly visits.
We were delighted with the article above
referred to, al d there ould have been no call
for this, had the reporter paid due respect by
a favorable mention of the ''old jaeger which
figured so conspicously in the late Sourland
Mountain murder case, which same wrought
the mighty miracle Of deliverance never be-
fore witnessed save when Moses delivered the
children Of Israel out of the land Of Egypt.
The defendants in the case were colored
citizens of the United States who during a
drunken brawl cut their brother's throat,
which caused his death, for which offence they
were cast into fort Rittenlouse to answer the
charge oil murder. They were said to be very
ignorant and without money, friends or In
fluence, and their. doom seemed inevitable.
The day of trial was near at hand and the
poor souls were about to give up in despair,
when suddenly there appeared in the heavens
tremendous cloud Of dust and u rumbling
noise rs the moaning of the mighty deep or
the roar of distant thunder, in the direction of
Mount Airy twas the cold jaeger COM
ing to the rescue. Good counsel was i'm
mcdiately talked Of" the colorcd sisters
given paper to show people, our Sheriff had
two extra boarders, both from Sourland
Mountain, which however did not prove worry
successful Intentionally, but nevertheless
everything was done that gas and mind
could do to secure a fair trial for the heroes.
The day of trial arrived and the old "jag-
ger' again stood in front of the court house
with something on it," and after mature
deliberation the Jury found that whiskey and
Ignorance had committed the crime and there
fore acquitted defendants, one of the twain
being allowed to visit Trenton on business
concerning small poultry transaction, while
the old jaeger returned to our quiet little
village all covered with dust and laurels of
victory. We cannot close this article without
expressing a wish that the old jaeger may
never be hooped so tight as to cause its shadow
to grow less. CAPTAIN JACK.

| THE OLD RED TAvERN-BoATINe, &C.
One Of. the old landmarks of our place
has recently been torn down We refer to
the old red frame house near Fulmer's Mills,
which years ago was known as the "Water-
mans Hotel II was one Of the oldest build
ings In the place, and was used previous to
the building Of the canal, as q storage house
for produce and goods that were to be shipped
by Durham beats Up and down the river.
These Durham boats (small canoe-shap-
ed boats carrying about 90 or 80 tons,) have
almost entirely ceased to be used, the only one
that we know of being in the possession Of
Mr.. Geo. Nayior, Of this city, who has used
it for some years to transport sand When
used on the river, these boats had long
steering oars like raft oars During the height
of the river boating business, two Of the lead
ing boatmen were Capt. David Chidister and
Capt. John Horn, both residents of Lambert
vile. 1t used to be an interesting sight to
see these boats working their way up the
river When there was wind, the boats
hoisted SAIL and when there was none, they
were set !" up by poles. This had almost
always to be done through Wells Falls, be-
low this place, but we are told that some
times they could sail up through the falls
without the aid of setting poles. Of course,
there were no wing dams at the falls at that
time. An old resident informs us that he has
seen from 15to 90 Durham boats in sight at
one timc,; with their sails set This must
have presented a beautiful and lively appear
anec. The building of the canals on both
sides of the river destroyed the business of
these boats andt they are now sthings Of story"
About the time of the building or opening
of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, the store
house was leased by VIM. d. Bells, of Flem-
ington, who got it licensed as a tavern, and
called it g The Waterman's HOTEL There
was considerable opposition to the licensing
of this house, and the people Of Lambertville
sent into Court circumstances against it,
Bells kept it for two or three years, when it
was taken by Joseph Smith, SEN, who kept it
for years. 1t finally ceased to be kept as a
hotel aud was turned into private dwelling
for which it has been used until a few months
ago, when it was decided to demolish it, it
having become too dilapidated for such pur-
pose. a e4 AAMk
