ing.

Another temperance meeting will be held

The piers of the new bridge of the Della
ware and Bound Brook Railroad over the
river at Yardleyville, are being repaired 1t
is reported that they have cracked and weak

The annual meeting of the Mount Hope
Cemetery Association will be held at Lyceum
Hall, on the evening Of May first. Last year
there was considerable of a contest at the an
nual meeting and some dissatisfaction. The
meeting adjourned before the result of the
election was announced, and therefore the old
board of directors held their offices for anoth-
er year. A fall attendance is desired at the
coming meeting.
The monthly meeting of the Young
Mems Christian Association of this city, was
held in the Presbyterian Church, on last Nor :
day evening. The attendance was not as
large as usual. The lecture by Judge James
Buchanan, of Trenton, was an excellent one
and quite interesting. Those who were not
present have reason to regret it. The sing
ing was unusually good

The standing committees of tie new
Council, as originally reported, were rather
pecular-to say the least. Not single Re
publican was made chairman of committee.
Last year Democrats were made chairmen OF
several of the committees. But in the case
of the most important committee, the alter

recognizing the minority, brought them I'M
willingly to show of fair dealing.
1t was rather laughable on last Monday
evening to see the fear the six Democratic
councilmen had of the three Republican m an

afraid they would be captured and swallowed
whole, that they moved to adjourn while one
of the Republican members was speaking

the member speaking and wholly out of or

Our exchanges are furnishing US with
considerable information in regard to the ar
rest Of Park Sproat for robbing the Lambert
vile Post Office. One of them tells its read
ers that he stole $500 worth of postage stamps.
Another that he robbed the office while doing
some carpenter work, &c. Such statements
are totally untrue. If these papers would
pers published in the place where they occur
they would more frequently give their read
ers truth instead Of fiction.
The temperance meeting at Lyceum Hall,
ON last Sunday afternoon, drew ont large
audience, and it proved to be one of the most
spirited meetings yet held. Mr.. Isaiah P.
Smith presided. A psalm was read by Mr..
II. D. Ely. Addresses were delivered by j.
A. Anderson, Esq. Rev. Enoch Knowles, and
Rev. e. Fl. Thomas. The singing was excel
lent The temperance people are not discour-
aged. Though the cause may meet with
checks at times, yet it win go onward. 1t has
made wonderful progress during the past half
century, and if like advance is made in the
coming fifty years, all legalized rum selling
will then be abolished and rum drinking will
be INDUCED in only by the vicious and the
