RAILROAD MATTERs.-It is not generally
known that the Pennsylvania Railroad CON-
pany are now laying two additional tracks,
one on either side of the present tracks. The
work is going on vigorously between Trenton
and New Brunswick, and will in due time be
extended the whole length of the road. 1t is
also stated that it is the intention of the Com
pany to put a number of additional trains be-
tween the cities of New York and Philadel-
phia, and that during the year 1876 the freight
business will be principally carried over the
Amboy route. We have heard the new trains
to be put on stated at 40, but that number
may be an exaggeration. 1t is doubtless in
view of the great demand for travel which b
expected to grow up during the Centennial
year. In view Of this memorable event In our
country's history, railroad companies every
where are extending their facilities, and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who not only
control the great thoroughfare between the
North and South, but one of the principal
thoroughfares to the West, are making extra
exertions to increase their facilities in order
to meet the anticipated demand.

Gold Pens for Holiday Gifts, at Moore's
Bookstore. ~
"A few days ago an accident occurred at
the quarry blacksmith shop Of Green s. Smith,
between Moore's Station and Titusville,
which might have proved quite serious. 1t
appears that a canister of powder had been
placed in one corner of the shop, and some
one in taking powder from it, had left q trail
of powder for some distance. Mr.. Cornelius
Y. Bowden (son of Mr.. Jacob Bowden, Of
this city, in doing some blacksmith work soon
after, noticed that sparks from the anvil had
ignited this train and it was making toward
the canister. He sprang for the door and
pushed before him person who was standing
near He had gone but few steps from the
shop, when the canister exploded, destroying
the bellows, tearing off the siding of the
building and lifting the roof from its place.
Had he remained in the shop he would in all
probability have been killed. A blacksmith
shop is queer place to store powder.

MOUNT AIRY, N. j., DEC. 9Th, 1875.

We notice in the New Hope locals of last
week that our old friend Peter Heath, carri-
age maker, of Sand Brook, N. j., formerly Of
Mount Airy, has bought the old established
coach factory in New Hope. Pa, late the pro-
perty of Hiram Ely, deceased. Mr., Ely en-
ioyed wide spread reputation as first class
carriage maker, and, as Mr.. Heath served his
apprenticeship in the old shop where he is
about to proclaim himself boss, the public can
rest assured that the reputation of the shop
will in no way be trified with and that New
Hope,,as before, will be the place to procure
a good wagon, to say nothing of other induci-
bles i'll that direction.

FlRE.-On Sunday evening about 10 o.
clock, the house belonging to A. B. Reading,
about half mile above Bulls Island, took
fire and burned down. The first that the in
mates knew Of the fire was the falling of some
meat in the garnet, and upon going to see
what was the matter, they found the whole
upper part of the house on fire. Before the
family could be aroused the building had be-
come dangerous and only a few of the house.
hold goods were saved. The insurance on
the house is about seven hundred dollars and
on the household goods one hundred and
twenty-five dollars. Enough to cover about
half the loss. 1t is not known how this fire
originated, whether from defective flue, or
by some matches igniting that were in the
garnet at the time.

IN. G. A.-The first annual meeting OF
the Young Mems Christian Association OF
Lambertville washeld in the Baptist Church,
ON Monday evening last.
The Treasurer VIM. johnson, Esq, made
his annual report, showing that the receipts foi
the past year hadnot fully met the expenses,
there being deficiency of about $50. The
estimate of expenses for the present year, in
Guiding rent of rooms, janitor's salary, daily
papers for reading room, fuel, &C., is about
$780, whiciranountsit is hoped, viii be rails
ed by subscriptions and membership fees. In
the report of the Executive Committee, il
was stated in substance, that during the year,
the Association had done considerable work
While the weather would permit, outdoor
meetings were held once or twice week in
various parts of the city and on Sunday af-
ternoons meetings were held at the locks fol-
the benefit of the boatmen and others Dur.
ing the winter prayer meeting was held
of tic tramps. Al reading room has also been
maintained, and the leading daily and weekly
papers kept for perusal, free to all. Noon
day prayer meetings have been sustained fol-
several weeks at the rooms and several fine
literary lectures and musical entertainments
of an elevating character have been furnished
at the monthly meetings of the Association
Besides this, tracts have been distributed and
considerable other work done. 1t may also
be stated that the late Convention of the Y
M. Christian Association of New Jersey, held
in this city by the invitation Of the Lambert
vile Association, produced very marked re-
ligious impression, and was the means of do
ing considerable good.
The following officers were elected to serve
for the ensuing year:
President-Ashbel Welch, Jr.
Vice President--Samuel Large.
Treasurer-William Johnson.
Secretary--Joseph Brown.
The election of an Executive Committee
was postponed until the next monthly meet
ing.
At the close Of the business meeting, a lee
ture was delivered by Mr.. Ashbel WEIGH, Jr.,
ON Egypt which was illustrated by draw.
,ings, costumes, and curiosities. Owing tc
the time occupied in the election of officers
&C., the speaker was compelled to condense
his lecture very considerably, thus rendering
it incomplete and abrupt, but with all this, il
was well conceived, and very interesting and
instructive. Il is to be hoped that at some
future time the lecture may be delivered in
full. The singing by the Association Choil
was very pleasing.

CouRT.--The Hunterdon Democrat says
there was large attendance at the opening
of the December term of Court on Tuesday
last. The list contained eighteen causes at
issue in the Supreme Court and twenty-five
in the Circuit, and large number of wit
nesses having been subpmnaed in some Of
them, caused a larger concourse to assemble
than is usual at this term.
The Grand Jury received no special charge
was called and the trial of causes commenced
b. Newton Pickell v. James N. Pidcock
This was suit upon book account for be-
tween $500 and 5000. The defendant claimed
that he should have been credited on account
with the amount of two notes, one for $500
and the other for 5000, and that the plaintiff
had charged him with articles he had never
had, and for other articles bought he had
overchanged him. This case was commenc-
ed on Tuesday morning, and was finished
on Monday of this week. Seventeen wit
nesses have been examined on the part of
the plaintiff, and thirty four on the part of the
defendant, the latter being principally pro-
duced for the purpose of impeaching the
plaintiffs books It would seem rs though
every one of the plaintiffs customers
IN whose account there was or had been
mistake or supposed error, was subp@naed to
relate the occurrence, and this testimony and
that about two items in the account--a pair
of shoes and hoop skirt--consumed the
greater part of four days. Court was not in
session on Saturday.
The second case, that Of Wers VS.. Strouse,
is being tried as we go to press.
The Grand jury rer orted on Thursday, hav-
ing found twenty-one bills of indictment.

THE TRAMPs.--The experiment of putting
the tramps to work at breaking stone in our
city lot has not been very successful thus far.
The amount of stone broken by them is very
small indeed. They appear to be afraid oil
wearing out the hammers, and so use them
very gently. 1t is believed, however, that the
fact of requiring them to work, keeps great
many tramps from visiting our city,
Trenton has also decided to put the tramps
TO work, and boat load of stone was pro-
cured by the authorities. The Gazette gives
the result of the first experiment as follows
son Friday night Al tramps applied for lodg-
ings and were furnished with tickets. They
all went up to Kelley's. 1t was the intention
of the Committee and Overseer of the Poor TO
put all these tramps at work in unloading the
b vat load of stone which was then lying In
Priors Basin. By some means or other the
tramps heard that it was the intention to put
them to work, and at one o'clock in the morn
ing "a of the number demanded that the doors
should be opened, declaring that they would
not go to work. AT first this request was re-
fused, when they threatened to break open
the door, tho door was opened, and they
started on the road IS of the number re-
NAMED, and were provided with breakfast,
and when they came to be marched to the
Basin to unload the boat, one of this number
rebelled, and was taken to the City Hall and
locked up The others worked until 10 o.
clock, when they were discharged. Thus was
begun the experiment of setting the tramps
at work, and it looks very much as if the main
object will be accomplished
