are to be dev )ted to the aid of the
Me cklenburg Centennial. Owing to
the inclemency of the weather, the at
tendance was not quite so large as
might have been expected. We are
very sorry indeed for those who were
so unfortunate as not to be present,
for they missed a rare treat. The Ia
dies were attired in the costumes of
the Revolutionary period. With the
short narrowed skirts, mob caps and a
plentiful supply of diamond dust aud
lily white, our beautiful young ladies
were converted into comedy matrons
of the 18th century. While distinc-
lions would be invidious, we cannot
fail to notice tee distinguished appear
auce of Lady " ashingtoD, who presid

the tea table, assisted by two of our
fairest young ladies who personated
Miss Custis and Miss Jay. The tables
were laden with all that was delicious
to taste and tempting to the eye, and
decorated with wreatbs and pyramids
of rarest flowers. Each was attended
by three lovely maidens in costume.
Among the guests we hotlced Judge
McKoy, who is at present presiding
with marked ability over our Superior
Court and who has done so much since
taking his seat upon the bench to re,

Whether the Common Council have the
power to establish Library or not, the pro-
priety of their doing it is questionable, and
many of our people would object to it. 1t
appears to us therefore that this plan should
be dismissed from consideration.
By the terms of the beqnest of Mr..
Stryker, the sum to be raised, cores
ponding with that left by him, may be raised
by the citizens. The amount is $780, Di-
vide this into 800 shares, of five dollars each,
and ask the citizens to subscribe. Let it be
understood that the stock shall draw interest,"
Or, in lieu thereof, carry with it the privileges
of the Library to certain extent, and the
control The movement might be inaugural
ed by the Board of Trade, as was recently
suggested
The effort to get subscriptions would test
the question as to whether the people want a
Library. Almost any young man who really
wishes to improve his mind, would manage to
take share, giving him, say, the privilege of
free access to the Library rooms !; and doubt
less many of our citizens would subscribe sew
eral shares. 1t ought not to be difficult to
get $50 shares subscribed, even in these hard
times. The subscriptions would secure the
bequest, and the expenditures could be so
managed as to make them no faster than cir
cumstances require, while the amounts unex-
pended could be at interest until needed. A.

GEE On going to press last week we were
unable to give any information in regard to
the body of Mr.. Frank Ryan, Of New Hope,
who was drowned In the river, on Tuesday
morning of last week, by the capsizing of O
bateau, while passing through Wells Falls.
No tidings whatever were received concerning
him until Friday, when a telegraph despatch
was received by John Ryan (brother of the
deceased), of New Hope, from Bordentown,
N. j., stating that man answering the de-
scription had been found on Thursday,
below that place on an island in the river. -
The manner In which the informant had re-
ceived information of the deceased was pure
ly accidental. On Wednesday, through the
prudence of Jesse T. Walton and A. J. Sol
oman, descriptive cards were prepared and
dropped from the river bridge at New Hope,
upon many Of the passing RATS, which were
quite numerous at that time. Nowit appears

aware that a drowned man had been found, as
before mentioned, and Immediately telegraph.

A. B. Stockton, of New Hope, proceeded to
Bordentown, and learned the full particulars.
The body had been found on Thursday, wash
ed upon the head of an island In the river, a
short distance below that place. Coroner'e
inquest had been held over his body on Fri
day morning, and his remains was consigned
to the Cemetery In the afternoon. They arriv-
ed too late to see him, but identified the keys,
pocket-book, knife, &C., which had been TAX.
en- from his pocket before burial. As he had
been suitably buried, they resolved not to re-
move him until cold weather.

ment has been made in connection with the
Iron Bridge, in New Hope. 1t consists of a
neat sharp-pointed board fence, constructed
upon the abutment walls leading from each
end of the bridge, and of sufficient height to
render it difficult in the future, for Juveniles
to find seating capacity while discussing the
probabilities of base ball-isms, &C., much to
the qualification Of the travelling public-es-

the weather is also afforded the walls. The

the Lord Is perfect, converting the soul the
testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise
the simple. The statutes of the Lord are
right, rejoicing the heart. The command
ment Of the Lord is pure, enlightening the
eyes,
At the close of the sermon, the President

cB- The potato-bugs are still persistently
urging their claims to the potato-vine, AMI
are also satisfying their fierce appetites from
other sources. A fair specimen of their num-
beers and the work they are sure to accomplish
may be observed in almost every potato-ield.
The bugs had taken possession of the vines
of potato-patch belonging to w. P. Magill,
in Solebury, tosuch an extent, that one day
last week he prepared an apparatus in con-
nection with his hay-rake, and succeeded in
capturing two bushels of them. They are al.
SO feeding upon certain obnoxious weeds, &C.,
and garden in New Hope has been deprived
of its growing peppers (of the hot persua-
sion) to satisfy their yoracious appetites.-
They appear to be fire-proof.
