opened an Office in that town. Lawyer T. is
indefatigable in the service of his clients, and

to sell that which makes men drunk, disor-
derby, abusive, criminal--which impoverishcs
families, corrupts virtue, and brings ruin and
death--if all this is the result of your vote

On last Thursday afternoon, the wife of
Amos S. Wilson, residing in West Amwell,
near this city, committed suicide by hanging
herself in the garnet of her dwelling house.
During the day, she sent her children to a
neighbours, telling them that she was going to
the store in Lambertville, but not calling for
them, some of the neighbors became alarmed
and searched for her in this city, but without
success. Later in the evening her husband
came home, and finding her absent and the fire
out, made search and found her in the garnet,
hanging by the neck, dead. On Friday, an
inquest was held by Coroner LARSON of this
city, assisted by Justice Young, and after a
full investigation, the jury rendered a verdict
of death by suicide while laborng under tenn
porary insanity. Her funeral occurred on
last Sunday afternoon and drew together
large cont course of people.

ish men, to degrade wives and children and
make them miserable, to craze men to the
commission of crimes and to spread woe in
the community This is what license is for

a house for the accommodation of travellers.
Amy one can keep that without license. And
respectable councilmen will grant these licen-
ses. But let it be kept in mind that the Ii
cense is to sell Intoxicating drinks, and there
fore is for the express purpose of making
drunkards
