eE- A reporter of the Monmouth Democrat
has been visiting this city, and writes the fol
lowing to that paper concerning us. If the
writer had given our population at 5000 in
stead of of 1000 and had considerably mod
Grated his statements respecting the effects OF
hard times here his article would have been
more nearly correct
LAMBrRrv1LLF.--Lambe is hand.
some town of about 1000 inhabitants, on the
banks Of the Delaware, sixteen mites above
Trenton TWAS formerly the headquarters
of the Belyidere Delaware Railroad Company,
where they had their shops for building and
repairing cars and locomotives, and furnished
employment for great many skilled mechan-
les. After the lease of this road to the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company the work was
transferred TO the workshops Of that Com
pany elsewhere, and nearly all Of these me-
chanics, who had established themselves and
built their houses here, were thrown out Of
employment. This removal also affected 9TH
or manufactures, aud the tradesmen Of the
town generally suffered by it, The consequence
is that merchants and tradesmen feel gloomy,
real estate has deprecated, people who few
months ago were in good circumstances are
in want, and Lambcrtville for the present is a
comparatively dead town. We i'll this rich
agricultural region, have no conception OF the
"hard times and actual distress which is
now grinding a large and worthy class Of the
citizens of--not only Lambertville-but al
most every manufacturing section in the
country.
There is one interest in the place that still
fourishes. We visited the spoke factory,
which was in full blast turning out about
four thousand spokes per day, besides great
quantities of felloes, axles, swingle trees, &c.
These are all turned in lathes which work au-
tomatically. The workmen have only to adj
just rough stake of wood to the machine,
set the pattern, and the machine cuts out
spoke or swingle tree round or tapering, bev-
eled edge, irregular or regular. These spoSes
are packed in sets and shipped to all parts of
the world, notably to Great Britain and Aus
tralia. They are made of hickory, which
was formerly plenty IN this section, but now
they draw their largest supplies of this wood
from our Southern States.
There are number of fine dwelling hous-
es in the town of cut stone, which is plenty
and cheap in that neighborhood, but the gen
eral appearance of the place will not compare
favoraby with Freehold Our stores and
business places are generally larger, and the
average of our private residences ARE much
neater and on more liberal scale.--lHon-
mouth Democrat.

For THE RECORD
What real income does the United States
receive from the fees for the licenses to sell
Intoxicating drinks? We will present the
approximate cost of this business in the U.
s. for single year; hoping that some one
will give us the figures on the other side
Cost of crime caused by incompetence in
one year, $s7,s00,000; Cost of pauperism
caused by intemperanee in one year, $27,000,-
900 Cost of litigatfons and prisons from same
cause in one year, $241, 100000; Actual cost
of Intoxicating drinks for one year, which
money is worse than lost, $4,000, 423, 624.
Total cost of the licensed sale of intoxicat.
ing beverages for one year, 50, Obs, 224, 206.
This is paying two hundred times more to
support the license system than it cost oui
government in 1862 for civil and diplomatic
expenses.
The expenses of the license system for one
year, were 81, 1928, IN more than the en-
tire war expenses of the nation for 1862 ant
1868.
Another item Of expense, (not included ii
the above table, Is the loss to the Unites
States of ST 300 00.000 from the deterioration
of labor. A careful calculation shows tia

MIR. EDITOR We take this opportunity of
expressing our disgust, also our opinion, of
that home-fattered quack who, on pretense
of being sane, invents some ill-bred language
for the columns Of your paper. which he
would have people understand, is to put us
below his own common level, which, say the
least, would be most uncomfortable to US, and
it does really seem a shame that society
should be tempered with so foolishly, for to
speak our Utmost thoughts this duck blind
reporter has proved himself the most childish,
short-sighted piece Of humanity that was ever
brought to our notice. Therefore it would
be much more becoming for us to remain ST.
lent ON the subject; and were it not for the
impression his words might have ON the mis-
informed we would while away our idle mo-
ments with game Of F" hop. skip and jump,
or perhaps be preparing a place for our little
ducks. While we have much sympathy for
his bereaved mind, we cannot help being
amused at his unnatural demeanor. 1t seems
that he has been very DESTROYS Of becoming
famous, not only with his pen, but he would
like it understood that he is the chap to be
feared, both noar and far. So on Saturday
morning myself was informed that little
red haired duck man was to be the victim.
win now explain the joke: 1t seems that
our " pretentious reporter was expecting to
become possessor of a pair Of duck, although
we we're then ignorant Of tile fact, and as
they are now in our possession, 1t is considered
malicious offeuse, which might be supposed
by some more timid than ourselves TO call fol
sssharp" engagement but as our opponent
stands braced upon his arms, awaiting the re-
suit of coming events, the combat will be
likely to take place just nincty-nine years
from to-day. There will be abundant time
you see, for the rearage Of a few choice
ducklipgs. WHOA.

rE We often meet persons who, when ap-
preached ON the subject of !" license or no Ii
censc," will offer on their side of the ques-
es, for the sale Of Intoxicating drinks, is of
such magnitude as to be of overwhelming i'm
portance. Let us for moment look at some
statistics on that point, derived from official
documents in some of the departments of our
Getty. For instance the amount expended in
one year, for the support Of the poor, is about
SO, 500. The amount received for license is
about $500. Thus we see that for every
twelve cents received from this source, the city
expends the sum of one dollar. We have been
creditably informed that about four-fiftbs of
the pauperism which has to be supported by
the city, is caused either directly or indirectly
by the inordinate use of whiskey A gentle
man of unimpeachable character in the COM
munity, gave as the result of his experience
in the renting of his small houses, Of which
he owns several, that lie loses at least twenty
per cent. Of the whole amount of his income
from that source, by renting to men who are
addicted to the habitual use of rum. A mer-
cHdiit wiz Ids pSoH uoihS q uiBo pusiioso III
this city informed us that in looking over his
books, he found amongst his bad debts about
four-fftlls was lost by the default of those
who drink to excess The money which
ought to have paid the grocery bill, and thus
supported the family, had gone into the till of
some whiskey shop, perhaps licensed, per-
haps not There are assault and battery
cases occurring in our city drunken, disor-
derby assemblages in which property is dcs-
troyed, and the neighborhood is disturbed. A
large majority of such cases, perhaps nine
tenths of them, are occasioned by the excess
i've use of strong drink. The city is at the
expense In the prosecu tions of such cases, and
for whatp Shall we establish such places by
law and then for the poverty, crimes and out
RACES which legitimately flow from them, OK
pend our money to prevent and punish what
any reasonable man must know will be the
result ? And the city treasury is replenished
to the enormous sum OF $500 per year What
pittance to set against the amount shown to
be lost to the merchant, landlord and to the
city treasury. We submit the above to the
consideration of the tax payers. There are
other and weighty arguments in favor of "no
license Arguments of higher and holier
character, that the moralist and Christian
readily appreciate, but for our present pur-
pose the subject matter under consideration
will suffice.

gB- The Beaumont Deer Park Association
Of Bucks county, Pa, have just imported a
fallow buck from England, by the steamer
Manhattan, which arrived at this port on
Friday evening last, the 18th ult. This en-
terprising association, incorporated about
four years ago for the propagation of game
and fish, procured in 1872 the remnant of a
herd of fallow DEER which formerly belonged
to the late Col. Joseph Tuley, of Virginia.
The only buck belonging to the herd died soon
after they became the property Of this asso-
citation, and by the kindness of the Earl of
Derby, the buck just imported was allowed to
be taken from his large and splendid herd.
This is believed to be the only lot of English
fallow deer now in America and we learn 1t
is the intention Of the Beaumont Deer Park
Association to supply other parks, as well as
the Geological Gardens, IL successful in breed
ing from this stock. philadelphia Inquirer.

TEMPERANCE MEETINa.-The first of the
series of temperance meetings designed to be
held the present Spring, took place at Lyceum
Hall, on Sunday afternoon last. An earnest
and able address was delivered by Rev. G. r.
Hartranft, of the NJ. e. Church, and we are
glad to know that it was effective in convine-
ing some of the Importance of continuing
the prohibitory legislation now in force. The
singing by the choir was good, and was very
pleasant feature of the occasion.
Another meeting will be held week from
next Sunday.
If the temperance men of this city will work
earnestly together, the result is hardly doubt
full but if they expect their cause to triumph
without labor, they will find their mistake al
the polls. Every one can do something, and
humanity and religion prompt to duty in this
matter.
