Reported for THE RECORD
News From STocKToN.-On Saturday
last, a son of David Dilts fell from the hay
NOV of G.. Wilson'S barn and struck upon
the wheel of a wagon, and broke his arm in
two places an | put the elbow out of joint.
At last accounts he was doing as well as could
be expected.
The Harvest Home of the M. E. Church,
held last Wednesday and Thursday, did very
well for the kind of weather they had to con-
tend with, it being very rainy both days. On
Thursday evening about 700 people were in
attendance, and as the result they cleared
the erection Of meeting house. They have
the lot secured and stone quarried ready to
build, but need some more funds.
Peter Best has erected derrick in front of
the residence of G. W. Sharp, above the Bap-
fist Church, and is now taking out some very
fine stone, and shipping them to Pennington,
for the benefit of the Delaware and Bound
Brook Railroad.
W. v. Case s. Co. are increasing their bust
ness, having put in another spoke lathe and
are running all hands on full time and little
over, making eleven hours every day, and even
load many cars by moonlight and lamplight.
The people of Stockton are inquiring to
know if Tom, Dick and Harry have a right
to get few bottles of rum and get into an
old boat and go out upon the river and sell
the accursed trash to the lumbermen, as they
pass along down the river. There is one very
long slim boat that comes from below, either
from Lambertville or New Hope. 1t carries
three or four different bottles, a pail of water
and few glasses, and has all the kit of a
floating "hell-hole." We know not whether
the occupant has license or whether he is sell
ing under some other mans license from New
Hope, but we think it high time that stop
be put to these proceedings. He operates gen.
orally about Limeport along the shore, as the
RATS run very close along there and make il
convenient.
Speaking Of RATS, on Thursday of last week
two RATS, in coming down through the falls
above Centre Bridge, got SO close together as
to interfere with the free use of oars, and get
ting out of the course, struck one of the main
trestles that holds up the bridge where the
new pier is under way, breaking it in two and
knocking it down, and but for the trestle that
had been put under it few days before, as
precaution in case the main ones should bt
interfered with, another span of the bridge
would, without doubt, have been thrown
down.

az The Surveyors employed by the Phila.
Water Commission, were engaged last week
in running line from the river, at New
Hope, through the county, by way of Pine
vile, Hartsville, g., to that city. The requir-
ed elevation, for the construction of a reser-
voir SHOULD they decide so to do), was found
near Sands Corner, about two miles from
the river, with an elevation of 254 f., which
was really higher than what is actually neces-
sary.

MOUNT Amy, N. j, Aue. 18th, 1875

MOUNT AIRY, N. J., Aue. 18th, 1875.
TRAMPs.-Two tramps stopped at Mr.. B..
B. Woods, on last Friday morning. and ask
ed for something to eat. Mrs. Wood prepar-
ed breakfast for them, and while she went in
to the cellar to get cream for the coffee, the
tramps fastened on couple Of Mr.. Woods
shirts which had been hung out to dry, and
then decamped Mrs. W. gave the alarm,
and Mr.. VIM. F. Matthews who happened to
be passing at the time, tied his horse to the
fence and started in pursuit, and was soon
joined by Mr.. VIM. Phflkill, the noted pedes-
trian, of Mount Airy. Then commenced one
of the most interesting races of the season.
Tramps had the advantage ofabout two hun
dred yards in the start and the choice of turf,
and ran through woods and cornfield in the
most reckless manner. The morning was
very sultry, not leaf stirred, but OH they
went, pursued and pursuers, making full
three-mile heat in time not exactly known,
when tramps were obliged to throw up the
sponge and the following dialogue ensued -
Mr.. Mathews" You must be in hurry, you
look tired and sweatya" Tramp" Yes,
we've come from Someryille, and want to
make Doylestown yet to-day" land all the
time had been running in the opposite direc-
tion) and he threw one foot over the fence
Mr.. Matthew'S" Don't be in a hurry, we want
you to go with u.s." Tramp" No, we
haven't time,'' and was about to renew the
race when Dory Hoppock arrived and declar-
ed himself High Constable, and took them in
charge, and brought them before his honor
Mr. B. B. Wood, who administered very
severe reprimand, and gave them some sound
advice, but we are sorry to say, allowed them
to depart without giving them their just
dues, viz good cowhiding. The shirts
were recovered.
1t does seem that this country is destined
to be over-run with this class of thieving vag-
abonds, and if there is any greater pest or
bigger nuisance than the inyincible potato
bugs, their name is Tramp, and it is to be
hoped that our next Legislature will do some
thing about it, and if not, we will establish a
Guillotine at Mount Airy, for the extermina-
tion of Tramps, and appoint good man to
run it.
Mr.. Isaac Larue's house, at Rocktown, was
struck by lightning during the storm last Fri
day evening. One chimney was completely
demolished, and some other damage done. For.
tunately no one was in that part of the house
at the time.
A few days ago tramp stepped into Mr..
Eli Hamilton's yard, and very mechanically
removed the pegs which held Ellis Sunday
best-shirt on the line, and coolly folded the
garment, placed 1t under his wing, and pass
ed quietly on.
