this direction should have been made by the
representatives of the oldest of all trades; The
tailors may claim that proud distinction.
For what sayeth one of the most famous
translations of the Bible: "Now, when
Adam and Eve saw that they were naked they
were ashamed, and they took fig leaves and
made for themselves breeches." Your tailor is
the oldest of tradesmen. He even outranks
the farmer, It is true that the old song
asks: "When Adam delved and Eve span,
where was the gentleman OF course the
gentleman was Adam, already clothed in his
fig-leaf breaches while the partner of his
bosom, at her spinning wheel, was combing
the threads Of fax or linen, with the inten-
ton Of preparing for her partner magnificent
shirts for Sunday wear, and fine petticoats
for herselfi Adam was a garJner but he
was tailor first and therefore it was at that
the first conference on this important subject
should take place among the representatives
Of the most ancient avocation. The tailors
have resolved that there ought to be grand
procession next year, and they have deter
mined to correspond with the representatives
Of other trades upon the subject, and request
their cooperation. Hthe other trades 60 in,

will be the most stupendous affair ever seen

INTERESTING Law SuITs,---To the thou
sands of our readers, says the Iateltigencer,
who for several Summers have visited the
Beaumont Park, over in Solebury, it is UNI
necessary to describe what in the lingo of law
is technically designated as the locus in quo
of Inghah's Spring and its fishy surrounds
ings, about which, and title thereto, there is,
in the words of one of the parties litigant a
difference in opinion and which the Court
will have to determine. As alleged, some
years since James G.. Thompson purchased of
Beaumont the dam and ground for $4,000,
passed into possession, and stocked the same
with salmon and trout Within brief peri
cd Beaumont has leased the mill below with
water privileges to other parties, and in order
to deliver possession cut away the race banks,
by which act the fish vamosed down tie
stream. Before Justice Pugh complaints
were made against A. j. Beaumont and his
son Charles for forcible entry and detainer,
and for assault and threatening to kill the
Junior James G.. Thompson. The warrants
were placed in the hands of Constable Tom
linson, and by him served on the accused, who
were brought before Justice johnson, and by
him held to bail to answer the several charg-
es at the next term of Court. A civil suit
for trespass, in the determination of which ia
involved the title to the property in dispute,
has also been instituted by Thompson and
Beaumont. In the criminal cases Lear ant
Yerkes are associated with District-Attorney
James for the prosecution and Ross ant
James are retained by the defendants.

az A Flemingtonian who was at the Old
Folks Concert in this city, week before last,
writes as follows in regard to it, to the Re
publican
We were at Lambertville, on Thursday
night, to listen to :. Ye Old FollSes,n and we
want to tell you what you have missed, for
among the familiar faces that appeared in Mr..
HoHman's audience we looked in vain for
yours. Pennington sent, however, very
large delegation Of its most cultivated citi-
zens, showing that it appreciates the Professor
as gentleman and superior musician. What
you have missed is the best "Old Folks
Concert y that has been given in this vicinity,
as far as my knowledge goes. Pennington
might as well be very good-natured about it,
and yield the palm to Lambertville. The
chorus was full and strong, the voices rich
and pure. We heard them about two years
ago, and the improvement since that time is
very marked. We do not know under whose
training they have been. If Mr.. Hoffman's,
he needs no better advertisement. The
choruses were much the same as rendered in
your hearing at Hopewell's Hall last year.
There were added, however, an orchestral ac-
compartment. Interspersed were the harp,
deftly fingered by master hand the orches-
ira, with which we were delighted and a
number of vocal solos, duets, trios and quartet
ties. Mrs. Hoffman excslled in Johnny's so
bashful, and all the while Cousin John was
writhing in those fortunes of bashfulness which
we old bachelors so well understand Pro-
tect us through the coming night" was we'll
performed. "Old Folks at Home, so beau
tifnl in itself, SO sweet and plaintive, both in
melody and words, striking as it does the key
note of human sadness, was very effectively
rendered by solo and quartette. If it were
not for +" Charley'so sake, we would mention
Ii. y ~
DEAR" and If it were not for the valuable
ness of space in your paper. we would like to
mention many other sights and sounds with
which we were held for three short hours !;
but, under the circumstances, let us sum it all
up i'll one short word, SUCCESS. W. B.
