eB Week before last we took occasion to
say, in substance, that the proposition of the
Clinton Democrat, that the Republican party
make no nominations this Fall in this county
on account of the general satisfaction of the
people with the present incumbents, would
not be likely to beIacceded to, because there
acere objections to these men, and instanced
the votes of the Absemblymen on the Pro-
tectory" bill and the dissatisfaction in this
vicinity with some Of the Sheriff's selections
for grand jurors
This article appears to have made the Han
terdoa Democrat editor furious, and in per-
sonally abusive article he charges the editor
of THE RECORD with being an adept at
casting aspersions on the characters of
people, with crying aloud Of his own virtue
and pointing to the sins and shortcomings of
others, ETC. Now If these things are true,
the editor of THE RECORD is very disrepu-
table parsonage but if they are not true,
the writer of the Hunterdon Democrat article
is falsifier and a slanderer.
The official conductof orr public officers is
a proper matter for public criticism, and the
Democratic Sheriff Of this county is not so
immaculate as to be above this. The people
of Lambertyille know that the selection of
grand jurors in this city have in some cases
been of such character as to cause dissatis-
faction on account oftheir unfitness.
The grand jury should be composed
of men ofgood standing in the community,
possessing some knowledge of the principles
of law, and of sufficient moral courage to do
right.

BARN BURNED.-On last Monday morning,
about o'clock, the barn belonging to Isaac
and Jordan Matthews, situated ON the east
side of the old York Road, about half mile
from this city; was set on fire by an incendi-
airy, it is supposed, and was totally consumed
with its contents. The building was large
frame, and contained 1876 bushels of wheat,
untbreshed, belonging to John e. Matthews !;
over 500 bushels of oats, $50 of which belong
ed to John Z. Matthews, and the balance to
Isaac Matthews a new roller, wagon, plough,
hay rake, &c. The loss will reach $1,000 on
the barn and $500 on the contents. On the
barn there was an insurance in the Reading
ton Company of 500, and $500 on the con-
tents, making the net loss Of the Messrs.
Matthews about $500.
A short time after the burning of the barn,
a tramp, named William Dilley formerly a
resident Of White House, in this county, was
arrested near Mount Airy, on suspicion of
having fired the building He was brought
before Esquire Young on Monday afternoon,
and his story was far from straight one
He stated that he slept under an apple tree
below town on Sunday night and came up the
canal in the morning, crossing the narrow
bridge at Delevan st. and went up the York
Road and he declared that he did not leave
the York Road after entering it. He was,
however, seen in this city on Sunday night ;
the shoe marks around the burned barn
and leading off through the fields correspond
ed in size and shape with the shoes worn by

eY That our readers may know what is
proposed to be done by Council with view
to improve the streets of the City, we print
below an ordinance introduced at the last
meeting of that body.
From the committee having tho subject in
charge we learn that the improvements of
Union street is one of the objects sought
after, and in reference to drainage, Franklin
street is another.
If tile Ordinance should become law, it is
to be hoped that the commission, while giving
more prominent objects their first attention,
will also take general view of our situation
as respects streets, sidewalks, sewers &C.,
and report upon the same. While we are
about it let every dollar expended be on a
sure basis.
1t seems to us that during the business de-
preston now existing would be proper time
for the city to undertake the work needed on
the streets. A dollar expended now will do
more work and dollar earned procure more
of the necessities of life than for many years
past, and perhaps for many years to come.
The opportunity is good one to get some
tuillS PcIudHcuG uOuS Oi Out otIccbS, db lltJlc

der and public morals, while giving employ
ment to those who are out of work. -s

ment of the grade of certain streets, and
their improvement.
WHEREAS, The condition of some of the
streets of the city is such as to require a
radical change i'll their grade, and, to
some extent at least, in the material of the
roadways, and
WHEREAS, the subject is one Of great import
ance in a sanitary, as well as financial as

Section /. Be it ordained by the inhabi-
