STOCKTON AFFAIRs.-The village Of Stock
ton is a thriving place. Its citizens are enter
prising, and take hold of everything that is
calculated to advance its prosperity. 1t is
constantly growing persons from abroad are
moving into it rom time to time and adding
to its business prosperity. 1
A number of new houses have been put up
the past year and Richard Boss and Albert
Wilson have recently erected dwellings-the
first named, - double one, part of which has
been rented to VIM. Rittenhouse, of Baptist
town, who will occupy it in the Spring. Mr..
w. expects himself and family to occupy his
new house.
Houses are In great demand in Stockton for
next Spring, aud the supply is not equal to
it.
w. V. Case 4 Bro. are about to build a
new wharf adjoining their spoke factory.

s AMONG THE Ice GATHERERs.-The weather,
the past few days, las been quite favorable
for our ice men. Mr.. n. v. Skllman, who
has leased the large ice house, located at the
old Morehead dam,) for several year past, has
stored away about $50 tons of splendid ice,
measuring nearly 10 inches thick. Mr.. Skill
mans business is to furnish ice to consumers in
the city during the summer season.
The basin of the Lambertville Water Power
Co. has presented quite lively scene during
the past week. Several parties have taken
the opportunity to supply themselves with
ice at this point, employing some twenty-five
or thirty men. Ice taken off the basin this
season averages six inches, and was of a good
quality. Among the parties gathering we
noticed Mr.. Abraham Cray, the jolly butcher.
He hasa large ice house near his slaughter
house. Mr.. Cray consumes the ice himself in
preserving meatbutchered during the summer
season. He had Mr.. Jos. Akers, the ex-
brewer, assisting him. Joe is one Of those
good hearted men who will always lend a
neighbor helping hand He handled the
long setting pole, sliding the ice to shore,
like AN old experienced boatnan.
Mrs. j. G. Wecden had teams busily en-
gagged, filling her ice house for household use.
And here is +" Dutch George - Bangchof, the
butcher. He has an ice house 70 fill, and uses
the ice in preserving meat during the summer
season George is six feet and over in
length. and over two hundred and fifty lbs.
in weight. He is quite jolly, the same as all
the ice men we. met. He salutes MS, and
says: "vekates all the vile. Don't you
want a shob?" We do not engage.
Gathering ice Is quite laborious work, but
the parties here engaged were all in good
humor. One man dan Sailor engaged here,
thought he would pilot large cake of float
ing ice to shore. He did not manage well
for sailor, for by his man9uvers he acct
dentally plunged head long into the water,
and secured a cold bath, and came out a wiser
and cooler man. But here is another indi-
vidual gathering ice. While Others are get
ting ice for comfort and luxury, for the COM
ing Summer, he is getting his to prepare for
death. He is VIM. II. Titus, the andeItsl O.. It
is somewhat new thiag, to see an und err
taker gatheriRgaice for bis business but since
the corpse Apresefvefs have been. introduced,
it has became necessity. MIR. Titus has an
ice house, to fill for this peculiar business
,Weido.not suppose that u Q. parties gstlering
ice on the basin thought for a moment that
they, WsreN engaged in, II curing ice to be
used fori nxurieslalm d. licaoies for tile next
Summer, and beside ,tbem,, ore was gath
ierinS Of the same tee to be used in pre-
pairing some one who is yet enjoying this life,
for tlie grave, perhaps it may be one OF the
same party. but such is life. Ice has become
luxury and necessity Of life, and we cannot
very well do withouasit. We can say that a
good supply of good ice has been procured in
fbislocality for the next season. n0iX9

Mr.. EDITOR As you kindly offered the
columns of your paper for the discussion Of
any subjects relating to the interests Of our
city and the cause Of temperance, I thought
would say few words on these subjects, as
they seem to be so closely allied at this time.
In fact the cause Of Temperance is Of great In
terest to our citizens at this time, for we are
on the eve of great battle, not Of man against
man, but of principle against prejudice, and
OF right against wrong. Last spring We
completely out-f1anked the enemy and at one
gigantic stride captured all his strong holds.
This spring we will have the same battle to
fight and the same foes to face, but friends Of
temperance, you will find this conflict fiercer
one and these foes moro ugly and more dan
gerous, for they see that You have wrested
one year of power from their grasp and this
will incite them to use every means in their
power to regain their lost foothold. No stone
will be unturned, nothing will be too mean
nor too evil, for this class to resort to, to gain
their lost power therefore we must watch
not only the leading points but every phase
and every turn. We have more need towatch
the tncneS tnan we nave TO Watcn the Ieet, IOr
if they gain but one inch we will soon find to
our sorrow that they have crowded us out of
a foot. am glad that the Christian churches
are waking up to a sense Of their duty.
These union temperance meetings are grand
affairs and believe productive of great good.
had the pleasure of attending the one held
in the First Baptist Church in this city on the
Sd inst, and was much pleased with the re-
marks made and the plans suggested. Several
spoke of the necessity of temperance men lay
ing aside all party spirit and voting en- masse
fer sober and upright men but friends, there
is a place which lin my opinion) is of as much
Importance as the polls, that no one mentioned
at this meetng--a place where our enemies
will rally in full force, for this has In times
past been one of their strong holds. Because
we have thought 1t of minor Importance we
must now endeavor to thrust them at this
point. But must bring my letter to close

AN OLD BooK.-We were shown at the
office of DIR. T. II. Studdiford, in this city, a
day or two since, a manuscript book of over
two hun ired pages, written on parchment, in
Old English characters, with handsomely il
Illuminated initials, &C., in gold and colors.
The title page of this book has been lost, but
from internal evidence it is believed to be a
work of John Wicliffe's, and it must therefore
be about five hundred years old. The spelling,
words, etc, correspond with the language of
the old Wiciffe Bible. 1t is certainly rare
old book. 1t was presented to the father of
Z DR.. Studdiford, in 1926.
/ We were also shown by DR.. Stnddiford an
old book, entitled 80 Peter Morell's Method
of prescribing Formulas of Remedies, with a
system of Meteria Medica annexed" Pub
ished by Henry & Theo. Boom, Amsterdam,
1850. Some of the " formulas given, if pre-
scribed at the present day, would be deem
ed the veriest chaflatanism, and the stomachs
Of patients would not feel at ease if they
knew the character of the dose they had
swallowed. The progress of the past two
hundred years in medicine is quite as wonder
full as in other departments of knowledge.

eB- Most persons, doubtless, having ice
houses to I'LL, have availed themselves Of the
favorable opportunity afforded them by the
cold snap of Saturday night and Sunday last.
The thermometer at Solliday's jewelry store
in New Hope, early on Sunday morning, iDdi-
Gated the intensity of the temperature Of the
weather by the falling of mercury to 30 below
zero. The ice men of New Hope have been,
the fore part of the present week, industrious
ly engaged in filling their ice-houses with a
superior quality of ice. Messrs. Stockton,
Solliday and Markey, Of New Hope; and, as
far as heard from. throughout Solebury, are
taking advantage of the opportunity, and
great harvesting from mill-pond and
from wherever the ice can be procured in
sufficient quantities and Of quality suitable
for the purpose, is going on.

One murky morning when the pregnant clouds
Their heecy offspring scattered DER the earth,
And every aspect of the field and grove
But told the story of the winters birth
Hid in the corner Of q fence 1 found
The brown and wrinkled mansion of the worm,
Suspended on a rough and knotted post,
Biding the visit OF a gentler term.
And thus l unused upon the mystic life
Contained within that frail and narrow cell:
Though dull and drear the days that intervene,
Though cold and silent be the lonely dell,
Though bleak and desOlate the f~rowning hills,
Though frenzied tempests rage and rend the sky
4 brighter and more joyful time will come
And bring the hcavenly-tintcd butterfly.
So. when misfOrtuncs cloud our dearest hopes,
And life seems Swallowed by a wintry gloom,
It often proves the passive chrysahs
From which a faircr life shall burst in bloom.
