ORIGIN OF HOG CHOLERA.

close confinement and especially to the
practice Of ringing pigs to prevent them

We sometimes doubt that, it being too

For TIE RECORD.

Home Well said to be one of the sweetest
words in the vocabulary of sounds. How
many pleasant memories cluster around the
uttcrance of the word. To be sure, there are
men, and women too, who never realize the
full meaning of it, but let us hope they are
few and far between. A truly happy homo
must have for its guiding star a woman, one
too, who is fully capable of holding the reins
Of household government and who does not
hesitate to visit the kitchen to see that all is
well. The young man on first leaving his
home to take pirt in the great drama of life,
does not fully realize all he is leaving until he
finds himself in the great busy city, perhaps
friendless and alone. Then the full realiza-
tion bursts upon him, and who wonders if
his bowed head attests the sorrow that over
whelms him. The sailor too, far out at sea,
pacing the deck in his lonely night watch,
thinks of home and mother, or perchance Of
one nearer, dearer still, and tear steals
down his weather beaten cheek, as he utters,
I" May God bless them !" AS the soldier
marches forward to almost certain death, he
gives one last thought homeward, and if
called on to report at the head quarters of our
great Captain, his last words are breathed
forth in a message for the loved ones at home.

CENTENNIAL HIsToRy.-One result of this
Centennial year is becoming very manifest
the awakening Of general interest in the
history of special localities, naturally extend
ing to that of surrounding districts. The
following card shows that what is proposed to
be done in New Jersey through the agency of
the Historical Society:
At the recent meeting of the New Jersey
Historical Society," a resolution was adopted
authorizing the President, with the advice of
the Committee on Publications, to appoint
some person in each county to prepare a Cen
tennial history thereof to be deposited in the
archives Of the Society. In accordance with
this action of the Society, the undersigned
would be pleased to receive intimations at an
early day from any who have themselves pre-
pared, or who may know of others who would
prepare such histories, to be deposited with
the Society. Communications may be adj
dressed to w. A. Whitehead, Corresponding
Secretary, Newark, or to Sam'l NJ. Hammll.

BEAUMONT DEER PARK.-Some important
improvements are to be made in this Park the
coming Spring. A large pavilion is to be
buit-a polygon of sixteen sides-ninety feet
in diameter, with eight doors and eight win
dows in the different sides. 1t will contain
dressing rooms and other convenicnces The
height of the building to the square will be
eighteen feet, the roof quarter pitch, with
cupola and flag staff on top. The building
will be of frame, covered with German siding,
and the inside timbers planned. 1t will con-
tain over 5000 square feet of floor ROOM
1t will be placed on the top of the hill-the
highest point of ground in the Park-and
will have drive entirely around it. This
building will add materially to the convent
ence of visitors and will be very attractive
feature of the Park grounds. The old build.
ing will, probably, be turned into restaurant.
Among the new attractions at the Park the
coming season in the way of animals, win be
number of prairie dogs.

Loss OF HORSE. Last Wednesday morn
ing, during the gale, the milk wagon OF Mr.
Simeon Merrill, living near Pennington, was
overturned by the force of the wind just as
his hired man returned from town, where he
had been serving his. employers customers
with milk. AS the wagon went over the
horses were entangled IN the harness, which,
together with the milk cans blowing about,
frightened them good deal. After the man
had succeeded in getting them free they started
at full speed for strip of woods, half a mile
from the barn. Upon going after them the
man found that the best one had in some way
broken one of his legs very badly, and it was
deemed advisable to kill the beast. The
horse was valued at $275.-Hunterdon Demo

MOUNT AIRY, N. j., Feb. 16, 1876.
adjourned

ihOONi AIM ECps W. AStVs
On last Thursday new road was laid out be-
ginning on the York road, near the parsonage
of the Presbyterian Church of this place,
thence west through lands of T. H. Hall a.
long the south bank OF the Alexsauken creek
to Holcombe's bridge on the Queens high
way leading from the Black Horse Tavern to
Dilts' Corner, there to end for the present.
The road has long been needed and every one
except the Mount Airy economist rejoced
that their wish was about to be gratifed, but
when the surveyors came to sum up the DANA
ges to Mr.. Halls property it was very appar-
ent that some of the surveyors had undergone
a tampering process, and instead of awarding
Mr.. Hall fair compensation, they exhibited
littleness Illuminating in the extreme, es-
pecially so when we consider that only
short time ago a new road was laid through
rock lands of one of those Surveyors to take
the place of drift away and to be kept in
repairs by the townships and all for his es-
pecial benefit and that he was paid one dollar
and twenty-five cents per panel or rails
length of rock fence and one hundred dollars
per acre for rock-b bottom land, notwithstanding
rocks are the chief product of his neighborhood
and are said to be very cheap and plentiful
is it any wonder that people who live in a
civilized country were astonished and dis
gused. When the proceedings concerning an
application was made public, the landlords
dog left the bar-room Immediately after the
paper was read.
So far as we have heard the only objection
to our road is that it would be an accommo-
dation to the people of Delaware township,
the same objection which was made an excuse
for law suit about twelve years ago, when
the new road (as it is called) was laid from
Blackwell's Mills to Lambertville, on which
our township fathers fooled away upwards of
thousand dollars and then went meekly to
work and opened the road and some of the
same caterpillars that crawled at that time are
creeping yet ever ready to nip the bed of EN-
terprse.
Our new road cuts Mr.. Hall off from the
Brook and it was suggested that this should
be well COT sidered, but our expert squelched
all considerations of the water question, by
assuring MS that the county would tunnel the
road, through which Mr., Hall could have free
access to water without bothering with bars
or gates.

A. b. Sellers ; and in the negative by Geo.

tB One day last week as number of boys
were playing on Stover's Mill Dam, in New
Hope, the ice gave way, and small boy
named Donahue, who had ventured where the
ice was insecure, broke through, much to the
alarm of his companions, and would doubt
less have found watery grave, but for the
timely assistance rendered by Messrs. John
Pickett and VIM. Kendall, who delivered the
badly frightened and nearly drowned boy

BURGLARY.--Early yesterday (Tuesday)
morning, the store of Mr.. Henry G. Hooker,
on Union Street, in this city, was entered by
burglars and robbed of large quantity of
jewelry of various kinds. From $12 to SIG
in money was also stolen The jewelry
is valued by Mr.. II. at $3.50. He had
taken an account of stock the day before, and
was therefore able to ascertain his exact loss.
The burglars entered by cutting out panel
in the front door. The family consisting on
ly of women, living over the store, heard them
but were too much terrified to give the alarm.
AS soon as the discovery was made the pur-
suers of the Lambertville Vigilant Society
were called out and various parts of the sur
rounding country visited but no clce was
found.
Suspicion rests upon a stranger-a tall man
with grey or light-clothcs-and two others
who were seen in the vicinity of the building
about half-past twelve O'clock.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hookers
store was robbed of "a large lot OF valuable
goods by Fox and Peacock, some years ago.
LATER. -Just as we go to press we learn that
Frank Slack and John Slack, Jr., two young
men of this city, have been arrested on sus-
picion of being concerned in this robbery
Circumstantal evidence is said to be pretty
strong against Frank. Circumstances seem
to indicate that other parties are implicated,
and that they have also been concerned in
other robberes in this city,
