A sHREwD FARMER. Here is letter that

they will not admire the cute farmer too
much. There are some kinds of shrewdness
which Jack doesn't by any means hold up as
good examples: - p
Dear Jack.-You item concerning Cows
Upper Teeth" reminds me of an incident
which occurred in an adjoining town.
A city gentleman who bad just purchased
3 farm in the country wished to buy some
cattle with which to stock II. He therefore
attended an auction where COWS were to be
Sold. One Of them, q remarkably fine ami
NAL, soon attracted his attention, and ne
bought her at fair price. He was exam
lining bis purchase when farmer, who On:
fortunately had arrived too late to buy the
cow himself, as he had intended, drove up
and thus accosted him: ]. sa G.w y :

The gentleman examined the mouth of the
COW, and finding no upper teeth, Immediately
went to the auctioneer and requested him TO
sell ths COW again. .&.a is.sstie

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1875-06-09
rw- A writer in the Clinton Democrat

eB- A writer in the Clinton Democrat Ia
very anxious that Hunterdon should have a
County Poor House and Farm. He states
that it costs the county $4,000 per year for
the support of the poor, and thinks the poor
can almost earn their support on farm pro-
vided by the county. We very much doubt
this. A part--perhaps one-thrd--of the ex-
pense for maintaining the poor is for cases
where persons are only temporarily relieved
and aftcrward become self-supporting. To
compel such people to break up their homes
and go to the poor house farm would be a
wrong to them and an additional burden TO
the county. We notice that the estimate in
Burlington County for the expenses of the
County Poor House and Farm for the present
year is $4,000. Last year it exceeded this
sum. This does not indicate that the poor
would be almost self-supporting ON county
poor-house farm. tits worth while, however,
for our Freeholders to examine the question.

THE Masonic DrsrLAY.--Thc Masonic dis
play in New York on Wednesday on the occa-
sion of the dedication of the Masonic Temple
was the most impressive that that city has
witnessed in many years. The Tribune edi-
torially says:
Under cloudless sky and famed by a cool
ing breeze, the great Masonic procession
passed over the prescribed route in our streets
yesterday, without break, blunder or an
unnecessary delay. This Is an unusual record
of New York professions, and is still more re-
markable when the magnitude of the moving
mass is considered. There are few generals
In the army that would undertake the mar
shaling of 30 600 citizens for street parade
with much hope of success. But the mar
shaling, the marching, and the man9nvering
of the Masons were simply admirable, and the
curious figures to which the cyoiutions of the
division gave rise--crosses, triangles, squares,
etc.--added much to the spectacle, and would
have done credit to the best military display.
Large as were the numbers of those who COM
posed the procession, they were surpassed by
the throngs ofspectators that lined the entire
route and struggled at every point for advan-
tage of view.

THE CENSUS OF NEW JERsEy.-Thc True
american gives tho following timely advice
to tho Assessors, who are about to begin
their assessment
1t should be borne in mind, however, that
the accuracy and completeness of a census de-
pend largely upon the cooperation extended
to the census taker by the people, as well as
upon tho truthfulness with which their Ques-
tions arc answered. The greatest difficulty
with which the census taaer has always to
contend is the prejudice entertained by some
people against furnishing the necessary infor-
nation about themselves and families. The
frequency with which the census man y has
TO bear the imputation Of being "imperti-
nent, and "inquisitive renders his office
anything but the moet agreeable, and the ina
bility. ofsosne people, to summon the moral
courage to tell tho truth about their ages,
makes il all: but impossible to prepare an
absolutely reliable census in this respect
But with a moderate amount of co-opera-
ton the coming census ought to present cor
rect statement of the population of the State,
and the legislature have provided that; In adj
dition to the enumeration of Inhabitants,
there shall be gathered statistics of the agii-
cultural, industrial and mechanical interests
of tho State. We look for the conspistion Of
the work with interest, as we shall be able to
progress Of New Jersey. We predict that II
viii show both to have been In the highest
degree gratifying, and will bear evidence that
our State is no laggard in tho race with hei
sisters.
