GAS DEAD AS THE DEVIL. such is the
expression frequently hear made by tbs
former dealers in strong drinks since the
abatement Of license, on enquiry being
made of them as to business prosperity. AT
first it puzzled me considerably to know what
the above expression meant. But finally
think I have arrived at a true definition. II
means, where strong drink is not sold, the
deui1 is dead Hence the application to the
dizziness in trade Now IL the devil is dead in
Lambertville, IL is not necessary that business
should be dead also.
And just for the experiment Of the thing, il
it would not bling the devil around too much,
would advise WORKING MANS HOTEL.
For. instance let the proprietor take a con-
tract for paving streets. Then have placed on
his promises thousand load Of stone, more or
less, with a good supply Of hammers for
pounding them. Now he is ready for busi-
ness but let it be expressly understood that
no money is 60 be taken for liquor. This is a
scorking mans hotel. We will suppose his
range of prices will be about as follows, taking
for granted that ten cents is equivalent to an
hours labor
Best French brandy, two and half horrs'
hard labor. California brandy, two hours
hard labor. Mahogahela (good,, one and a
half hours hard labor. Pure apple, the same
Benzine, favored TO taste, one hours hard
labor, &C., &c.
The above prices, when paid in breaking
rocks may seem pretty steep, but neverthe-
less it is the price the poor laborer has al
ways paid and is now paying ON the other side
! of the river for the precious stuff
just imagine on cold frosty morning a
fat and jovial butcher, lean and rueful
thinkers, elder Goodenough, and devil Jake, a
gentleman in broadcloth, and street loafer,
swinging the hammer! How tremendously
they work. The butchers hammer puts new
life into the dropping spirits Of the tinker.
The complacent tinker casts a shade of res
traint on the merry butcher. The tidy APP
psarance of the gentleman inspires all to ap-
pear in better garb next time. The common
garbs of the others restrain the gentleman
from foppishness. Spice to the conversation
is given by the street loafer in an occasional
oath, while moralizing influence is shed
over the whole by elder Goodenough.
If this project could be put into practical
operation, don't doubt but that it would be
considered god-send by many a thirsty
idler.
The task ended, they arc now ready for the
drink. In three seconds the stuff is swallowed.
At this rate from $4,000 to $4,000 per
hour is paid for the privilege Of letting
benzine and other vile liquors run down a
mans throat. What price is paid to keep
the devil alive

there are none Of our manufactures who more
richly merit the high reputation they have

SERIOUS ACCIDENTAL LITTLE Girl SfIoT.
Yesterday Tuesday morning, while Reu-

III this city, a lad against orders, attempted
to carry down stairs a loaded gun. When he
had reached the first floor and was going
toward the front door, the gun was discharged
and daughter of Mr.. David Cooper, aged
! about six years, who stood in the doorway,
received a number of shot in the face, one of
them going through her Eoss three Oh four
Unfolding themselves in her forehead, two or
three in her checks and one striking one of
her ears. The main part of the load passed
out of the door and Embedded itself in the
fence on the opposite side Of the Court The
| injuries are not considered dangerous. 1t was
n very narrow escape from death.
This accident ought to teach people the folly
! of keeping loaded fire arms about their
houses.
e8 A Stockton correspondent of the
Huntsrdt'n Democrat writes as follows:
Tuesday was the day Of the meeting of the
Stockholders OF the Pennington and Delaware
Railroad, at Sergeantsville. There was a
good attendance and much enthusiasm was
manifested. But i is . matter of much sur
prise that the good people of our thriving
township seem so slow about taking hold Of
the small amount of shares remaining to be
sold, to insure the success OF the enterprise.
How is it they are SO Blinded to their best in-
terests, knowing as they must that tlfis great
advantage now held out to them is Que of
those rare and special favors that may only be
expected to occur once in a life time. If the
road now fails, it may be counted as among
the lost.
Mr.. Huff, from Lambertville, has taken the
store formerly run by Huff & Bro. Mr.. Ma
son, one of our old merchants, goes ON the
even tenor of his way, and everybody likes
him his son, John, is his partner, and to-
gether they make the store an agreeable trad
ing place.
On Sunday last occurred the funeral of
three children of Mr.. L. Hartpence, all of
whom died or scarlet fever Mr. II. and a
surviving child have also been i'll, but are re-
covering. Yesterday was the funeral of Mr..
James Bancroft, an old and valued citizen.
This makes the third of our oldest inhabi-
tants whose death has occurred within the last
month.
Mr.. Charles Wolverton has relinquished his
business of farming, and intends going to
Trenton April first to join the mercantile
ring.
