The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1875-10-27

The Fire Department of Trenton had a
grand parade on Monday afternoon. We
question if there is city in the Union of like
size that can excel it in the number, charac-
ter and appearance of its firemen A finer
parade Of any kind has not often been witness
ed there. Chief Engineer Vansciver repre-
scented the Fire Department of Lambertvillo.
1t is proposed to have a firemen's parade
on the occasion of the housing of the Hiber-
mia engine in their handsome new building.
1t is also proposed to hold the annual inspec-
ton of the fire department of this city on the
same occasion. The time has not yet been
positively fixed, but Thursday of next week
is talked of as the day.
--On Saturday last a tramp called at the
residence of N. V. Young, Esq, in this city,
and demanded something to eat. Mrs. Y.
told him that she had been absent from home
had just returned and had nothing prepared
for him. He got very angry and abusive and
swore that if people didn't give him some
thing to eat " they would rue it before spring. I"
A tramp also called at Chief of Police Hol-
combe's house last week and acted about as
insolently.
The State Gazette say of Mr.. Benjamin
Fish, of Trenton Mr.. Fish will be 100
years old in about month, and he is as healthy
and active as most men at so. Indeed there
are few men at even this age who are as
youthful and robust in appearance, and as ac-
tive and energetic in their movements, as Mr.
Fish. Mr.. Fish attributes his long life and
good health to plain living, early rising, active
and arduous out door labor, and abstemious
habits. He does not smoke or chew, never
drinks except very little sometimes on social
occasions, goes to bed early and gets up early.
He has never suffered from any disease, ex-
cept from rheumatism good many years ago,
is never nervous and sleeps we'll. He has ex-
cellent promise of being a Centenarian.'
The fine show-window of Mr.. Geo. w.
Hottell, 27t E. State ST., (south side) Tren-
ton, "a short distance west of Greene, attracts
general attention for the splendid stock of
hats, caps, &C., displayed in it. The store is
filled with all the latest styles of silk and felt
hats, fur and cloth caps, gents furs, umbrel-
las, canes DC. Gentlemen who visit Trenton
should call at this store and look at the stock.
If you want Silk Hat that. will fit, get it of
Hottell who uses the American Conformation.

MIR. Wilson Marshall, the discoverer of
gold in California, (who formerly was resi-
dent of Lambsrtvlle), we learn from Califor-
mia papers, has been granted yearly pension
of $1,000 by the Legislature of the "Golden
State'
Personally, we feel only friendship for
Capt. Bird, the Democratic candidate
for Assembly in this district. But we
cannot approve of some of his political
acts. If there is any honor in the Office he
has had it, and as he has been run for two
years. we think it would be we'll to have a
change and put Comet in his place.
