the Hunterdon Democrat calls us crazy, init
\ mates that we have no brains, and says other
"choicen things. If one word produces
such an onslaught, where would sufficient
words have been found to denounce us if VIC
had published his entire letter We shall not
dare to venture beyond the one word--s usu-
fruct.'

The following is from the Amenia Times,
paper published at the Winter headquarters
of the VanAmburgh Menagere: Z" The great
VanAmburgh show is now exhibiting in New
Jersey. 1t will be at Lamhertvlle next Sat
urday This is the classic spot where our SEMI
or first learned the rudiments of the art pre-
sentative. We can recommend to our friend
Pierson, of the Record, the VanAmburgh COM
pany as gentlemen perfectly reliable and re-
sponsible, and the show worthy of good
patronage"
is it an "Usufruct .? Mr.. A. c. Barber
one day last week found rather strange
swhat is it 4" in Alexsauken Creek, above
this city. 1t is a sort of white transparent
gummy substance weighing six or eight lbs,
of. double-ki9ney shape on the under side
oval on top and prettily marked with dark
leaf-shaped figures in very regular ORDER
Whether it is an animal or a vegetable pro-
duction is undecided. Some one has suggest
ed that perhaps it is Tilden's usufruct.'

The 60 local of the Hunterdon Democrat
doesn't appear to like it because we make use
of Tilden's big word g usufruct - in our COL
umns. Why not2 The word sounds nice
the Democrats all think it is big thing, (al-
though they don't know its meaning, aud, as
Tilden hasn't got it copyrighted, we claim
the right to use II. Ye Democrat 'slocal .
must not suppose that we are to be deprived
of such pretty and nice and high-sounding
and highfalutin word.
Miss Emma L. Knowles has taken the
building on York street, formerly occupied
by Prof. Bum, and will there open her select
school on Monday next. She is known as an
excellent teacher, who takes deep interest
in the advancement of her scholars, and her
experience and educational advantages enable
her to give her pupils an education equal to
that taught in a majority of the female semi
naries. Her terms are reasonable. Full par
ticulars can be obtained by calling upon or
addressing her.
The ladies and friends of the M. e.
Church at Stockton, will hold a Fair and Fes-

delicacies of the season. A number of articles
and notions will be offered for sale, Visitors
will also be entertained with vocal and instru-
mental music. A general invitation is ex-
tended to the public to attend, and help us in
this important enterprise. We have undertaken

ready to dedicate in October next. Should
the weather be unfavorabe on the above even
ngs it will be continued the third evening.

1.-THE New Jersey Day ~ at the Centen-
NAL Thursday LAST proved to be grand sue
cess, so far as numbers were concerned
About 10000 Jerseymen were present, and
the total cash visitors on that day numbered
nearly $4,000. Lambertville and vicinity
turned out about $50. Hon. Abraham Brown
ing, of Camden, delivered his address on the
history and progress of the State during the
past one hundred years, at the Judges Hall.
1t was able but rather too statistical to inter
est popular audience. At its close the
Governor held reception at the New Jersey
Building, where hundreds paid their respect
and listened to short addresses from the
Governor and others. Among the prominent
Hunterdon countians present were Hon.
FLA. Potts, Hon. Alex. Wurts, Hon. j. T.
Bird, Major A. ii. Holcombe, of the Govern

to which about two hundred prominent Jer-
seymen sat down. The great mass of those

hear at almost any time--and all were delight
ed with what they saw. But when they un-
