Much indignation is manifest throughout
this section concerning the management of
the New Jersey Live Stock Mutual Insurance
Company. In short, the company must be
panic stricken, as the directors have ordered
a heavy assessment, even ON policies which
expired more than a year ago to cover losses
sustained by the Company during the last
year. For instance, we were the unhappy
possessor of policy which expired nearly a
year and a half ago, ON which we bled freely,
and were not little surprised last Tuesday on
receiving a summons to appear before his
majesty, Mr.. David Durham, at 2 O'Clock, ON
II certain day, to answer the New Jersey Live
Stock concern with demand, costs, mileage,
&C., all nicely added up, ready on us to pay,
but we didn't We concluded that it was a
mistake but have since learned that nun bar
of our friends and fellow-citizens were served
the same way And now the question arises,
when and where will the thing end and how
are we to rid ourselves Of those filthy old
policies?
We have long looked upon the Mutual Insur-
anee Companies as the pure essence of hum
buggery, especially Live Stock Companies,
and we wonder that the grangers do not take
Them in hand and do their own insuring.

gB- General Trimbe, the represen-
tative of the Howe truss bridge patent
visited Doylestown last Tuesday to press
his claim upon the County Commits
sioner for fees alleged to be due by them on
the Ncshaminy bridges built after the great
freshet of 1865. His claim was for $1,000, but
in case it should be paid without bringing
suit he was willing to accept something less.
The Commissioners, having been convinced
that they would be obliged to recognize the
claim, concluded to settle 1t without further
delay, and late on Tuesday night they paid
over to Trimble the sum of $4,000 and took a
receipt in full. That this money has now 10
be paid out of the county treasury shows
pretty clearly that there must have been great
neglect or carelessness when the bridges were
erected nine years ago. If there was a patent
fee paid then it must have been to unauthor-
lied parties, who f1ould have been obliged to
prove their authority to receiveit at that time.
But in those days bridges were built and
county expenses generally paid with lavish
hand. 1t is said that General Trimble, who
was prominent officer in the Rebel service
during the war. has recently collected large
number of back bills for the use of the Howe
truss for bridges Bucks o. Intelsigencer.

School of Stockton, on New Years Eve, was
a very pleasant affair especially to the little
ones who went home with their hands full of
presents and their hearts full of happiness; and,
altogether, great deafof enjoyment was de-
rived from small outlay of money and labor.
The exercises were interspersed with chanting
and singing of hymns, two of which were
composed for the occasion. The school, we
understand, is in more fourishing condition
than ever before, andis web equipped for the
work in which it is engaged.

THE IRISH TOMORROW.

Tomorrow, st. Patrick's Day, will not
only be the occasion of religious ceremo-
MES, but of display of Irish patriotism
and tribute to the Irishman's love of the
Green Isle. Hundreds and thousands of
dollars will be expended all over the coun-
try by these enthusiasts; work will be very
generally suspended, and the day will be
devoted TO that kind of improbable OBJ
servances which are always excusable in
view of the fact that holidays are acknowl-
edged in this country to be too few and far
between. But there is cause why our Irish
friends should curb their inclinations within
the bounds Of reasonable economy. The
times are hard, and they should remember
that ga penny saved is a penny earned, )"
and that although. they may regret their
inability to indulge their propensity for ex-
travagant demonstration, there is a palpa-
bic excuse why they should be exceedingly
moderate. The Irishmen of the District,
numbering in their ranks many of our most
solid and respectable citizens, will duly cele-
brate the occasion, and will, as usual, deserve
recognition as law-abiding and peaceful citi-
zens. Their organizations here are not only
wealthy, but numerous and well disci-
plned, and as they are composed of better
material than is to be found in the member
ship Of kindred associations in New York
and other large cities, there is no reason to
anticipate disturbances of any kind as the
result of their jubilee.
Wherever they 60, (and where are they
not to be found y in whatever cause they
may be found fighting, the Irish people, as
a race, do not despair of the independence
of their country. Voluntary and involun-
tary exiles from their native land, they
look back to its barren boys, green valleys
and sparse, fertile fields with feeling of
solid affection, as a man recalls the earlier
recollections of his life and remembers the
joys of boyhood's brightest dreams. 1t is
then that they forget the heavy hand of
the oppressor that drove them from their
verdant shores, and reviving sweet memo
ries Of the brightest side of the picture, is
it any wonder that they so gladly hail this
occasion to pay tribute TO the memory Of
their patron saint? Useful citizens they
prove themselves to he the world over, be-
cause underneath the impulsiveness of their
natures there resides this loyal and earnest
devotion to an honorable memory.

VICE PRESIDENT WILSON S letter, printed
in our news columns this morning, presents
a strong and consistent argument, from
his standpoint, in support of his vote for
the bill to equalize bounties. No one will
charge him with inconsistency after read
ing this explanation, in which he makes it
plainly to appear that he has persistently
attempted to attain the result sought in
the bill for a number of years; but it
should not be forgotten that there is an
other side to the question, which has been
put with equal force by President Grant.
As soldier, the President very naturally
sympathized with the veterans, for whom
Mr.. Wilson entertains such warm re-
gard, and it was in the course of things
that he should materially weigh all the
bearings Of the case before deciding as he
did to veto the bill. Conceding, for the
sake of argument, that no doubt existed
regarding the legality of the passage of
the bill-a point, by the way, regarding
which Mr.. Wilson has but little to say
the true policy of the Government was not
to act hastily in a case so thoroughly
clouded with misapprehension as this was,
and so hastily enacted as the bill had been.
If there had been time, as there was not, to
