LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Pickett's LECTURES.
10 the Editor Of the Ledrer:

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
The agony has commenced again.
Pickett, the superintendent Of public
schools, is again at bis old tricks. He
delivered his first lecture for this scho-
lastic year at the teachers Meeting the
other day. II was a slim meeting and
the teachers wore a solemn, melancholy
look, as if they had been reading Fox's
Book Of Martyrs aud thought their time
had come, but it may have been caused
by the absence of so many well known
faces. And what q leeturel Wonld that
a photographic reporter had been in the
next room to take it down. Pickett took
his usual studied attitude, looked one at
the ceiling and twice at the floor aud
proceeded ina monotonous tone to reeite
bis usual amount of stale and 'polntless
anecdotes, Juggling in head foremost his
relatives-his uncles and aupts, et id ge-
nus omne-and winding up with . de-
clension of the pronoun ego in all il
possible forms. The teachers listened
with owl-like solemnity, in secret dread
lest smile, or word, or look should be
construed into characterization, such
is the reign OF terror over the teachers.
The next lecture is to be o1

What We heard and Saw within
the Week.

much crowded. There was conglomeration
of characters that hemmed us in. Two repre-
sentatives of the Sewing Circle" "Hoop-la"
Tempest" and other familiar faces reminded
US very much of being
Down in a coal mine underneath the ground,
Where no ray Of Sunshine" ever can be found"
The residents of "Hoboken" complain of
being annoyed very much by the hideous howls
of the button factory "Modocs" while passing
through their quiet village before the dawn Of
day. "Scar-faced Charley" "Jersey Snviling"
and captain Jack" are said to be particularly
noisy,-The Sewing Circle" is in ecstacies
over the arrival of friends. Hudnot has tele-
graphed to them that should they contemplate
taking soda-water bust" he would reduce
the price to FIVE cents in order to secure their
patronage. 'dark-eyed beauty on the
corner seems to have lost all charms for "Jim
Crow" since the advent Of the fair face from
the city of Brotherly love. We hope she may
survive the loss.-That sacred music on the
cornet, last Sunday, was splendid. Now let us
have free and easy and Sunday desecration
will be complete Tempest" is the most
amiable person we know of, but she wont smile
worth cent.-Could'n portion of the
choir be induced TO forego the pleasure of
warm stove in the parlor with dolly var
den" image as the attractive feature, until after
the services are over? "Sittns" up seven
nights week certainly ought to be fun enough
for one week.-While the Fijee Islanders
are happy and content to dine upon fricassee
baby and roast man, would it not be christian
like instead of contributing large sums for the
purchase of tracts and dolly warden shirts for
these and other heathens, to look after our own
poor We hope our friend enjoyed the her
ring last Friday night.-The IN. L. KS"
were handsomely entertained at the residence
Of original John, by J. n. Skinner, Grand
Worthy Apostle, from Port Jervis, n. Y. At
late hour the club could have been seen sor-
rowfully vending their way homeward "injin"
fashion.-There is a new society in operation
at "Kautz's" corner They are the smokers
and ten cents per week the admission fee.
Coconut pipes are not allowed in the rooms.
For further particulars apply to josiah

"Jim Crow" agony "Bushy" is Tempest
tossed and Frank, is signing for circus fame.
"Hoop-la p'--The "Sewing Circle" brigade
are as amiabe as Captain Jacks Modocs.-
No wonder Ike looks so so sour, he empties
Phillips vinegar bottles about three times a
week.-An old soldier in passing Matlack's
i hardware store few days ago, saw a paste
board sign tackled on the door announcing the
fact that "creepers for sale here" could be
found inside. He stood motionless for few
moments with his eyes fixed upon the ominous
sign, then exclaimed. "Creepers. By gosh,
guess that fellow never was in the army or he
would have had enough of the cussed para
SITES" and quietly passed on.

Among the new measures presented to
the Legislature is one to revise the assess
ment of property for purposes of taxation.
By its provisions assessors are required to
appraise real ana personal property at the
rate OF amount for which it would sell at
public sale after due notice. This is for
State, county and local purposes. Power
is given to re-assess improved property be-
tween the periods of the triennial assess
ment. The County Commissioners are
made board of revision, as at present.
The passage of an act of this kind woald
make the election of Intelligent and capable
assessors an important object, and it would
remove much of the dissatisfaction and in
justice caused by the inequality Of the
partial assessments now in vogue IN some
of the counties.

ROBBERY ! o'clock Wednesday
night February 10th, the residence of Mr..
Manassah Labar, Delaware Water Gap, was
entered by burglars and about SAC in cur
rency carried off by them. The gallant
knights of the jimmy, it is supposed after
entering the house proceeded to the room in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Labar were sleeping,
administered chloroform and then took THEN
own time in going through the room. In
Mr. Labar's pants pockets they secured
S4I, 90 and in the clock they captured
another "V'' which had been put there the
evening before by Mrs. Labar. No other
rooms were entered and the robbers departed
apparently satisfied.

The measure known as the 4littIe tariff
bill' having become law, it IS of some
Importance to the business community gen
orally, to understand the change thereby
effected in the law for stamping checks.
One of the sections of the law provides 4;
That the words "bank check, draft or
order for the payment of any sum of money
whatsoever drawn upon any bank, banker,
or trust company at sight or on demand,
two cents, in schedule B, of the act of June
80, 1864" be and the same is hereby strick-
en- out, and the following paragraph inser-
ted in lieu thereof: "Bank check, draft,
order, or voucher for the payment of any
sum whatsoever drawn upon any bank,
banker, or trust company, two cents.
The effect of this is to render liable to
stamp duty checks worded zone day after
date" which have been used to evade the
tax.

country taverns IS fixed at $50 per amman,

THE communication from "Observer" was
duly received at this office His disguised
chirography, filthy language and hypocritical
protestations of friendship for the Y. NJ. c. A.,
plainly shows the "cloven foot" without shoes
and indelibly stamps him as one of those "who
borrow the livery of Heaven to serve the devil
in" The language of his communication
plainly shows that he is a sycophantic misan-
thropst and loves to revel in debauchery and
social filth. None but moral and physical
coward could pen such a communication, and
distinctly understand that we want none of his
advice as to how we shall conduct our paper.
