Y. NJ. G. A.-The monthly meeting of this
Association was held in the Baptist Church,
on last Monday evening. The exercises were
varied BY some good singing by the quartette
choir and BY the congregation. A select
reading of q very appropriate character was
giyensb mn, isaiah F. Smith, followed by a
detailed and quite interesting report of the
doings of the International Convention of the
Young Mems Christian Associations at Ricli-
mond, by. the delegate from the Lambeftville
Association, Mr.. Ashbel ;Welch, Jr. Miss
Mary Leech then read select poem very
creditably, and the Association adjourned its
monthly meeting until September next.
"a One night last week, the wife of one
of our citizens called upon the Secretary of
cur Vigilant Society and stated that some one
had stolen their " falling top wagon from
the barn--where 1t had been placed by her
husband before he had left our city.
The Directors were called together and met
at Boozer's, about o'clock P. M. After talk
ing over the matter they, concluded to wait I'M
tif morning and in the meantime make some
inquiry about the affair-then they adjourned.
AMorning Ecane and with it the knowledge
that Mr Boxers clerk, at the request of the
owner, had pulled it down to Sutphin's black
smith-shop to have the tire adjusted, the dry
weather having rendered the proceeding neces-
sary The pursuers were not ordered out
fB- A correspondent, in The Beacon of
last week, and also in the Hunterdon Demo
cr0t of this week, attempts to demonstrate
the superior wisdom of our Mayor to that of
our Common Council and cities in proof the
incidents connected with the passage of the
Ordinance to regulate wholesale liquor selling.
The pith of the article is in the last two sem
tences viz /
The Judge decided the ordinance passed
by the Common Council of the City of Lam
bertvile to be defective and illegal, and that
the costs of the suits should fall upon the city.
1t would be better for the tax payers if the
Council should take a little more advice be-
fore passing in haste, illegal ordinances, over
the Mayors veto.7 5 81 Ss4sA8 ~
]" 1t would be better y if this correspondent
should know what he is writing about before
he makes. the attempt. There is not one
point made by the Mayor in his veto that is
sanctioned by the Judge in his decision. On
the other hand, the Judge decided fatty
against the assumptions of the Mayor as to
the meaning of the term sswholesale." The
only point where the ordinance was yulnera-
BILE was in the fact that it provided no penalty
for its Violation, and for this cause the Judge
decided the ordinance of no effect. Singularly
enongh The only weak point in the ordinance
was the one that was overlooked by our worthy
Mayor in his examination. With these facts
before them, people will be able to judge how
much "advice /" our Council should take be-
fore passing Illegal ordinances over the
Mayor veto. ~ fN4ss 1sf@E ~. MD
