Miss Knowleswills open her school in

Seminary, on York Street, on Monday Sept.

On Thursday of last week, while a
little daughter of Nj and Mrs Martin, living
on South Main street, was being carried by
one of the children, it slipped over the shout
der of the child carrying it, and struck its
head on curb stone, from the effects of which
| it died the same day. Its age was about
eight months.
-" Daddy" Baugh of this city, aged 103
years, walked to Doylestown to visit some
friends on last Friday, and returned home
on Monday. He has been in the habit for
several years of making these annual visits.
He left Doylestown at fhalf-past eight in the
morning and arrived here at ten minutes after
2 p. NJ. This is pretty good walking for
centenarian. We feel inclined to offer a
challenge to otogenarians to beat him.
The Lambertvile House, Captain G. w.
Kitchin proprietor, has been the centre of at
traction during the past week. On Thurs
day and Friday an interesting rope perform
ance came off in front of the hotel, and on
Saturday evening the numerous guests were
highly entertained by some excellent music
rendered by Winker's Trenton Band. The
Captain is a clever host, and looks well to the
comfort and pleasure OF his guests.
"A soldier, wounded in the battle of An
tietam, was in this city selling an article of
household use, one day last week. He in
formed us that he had been told in substance
in seven or eight places in this city, that if he
had staid at home and minded his own bust
ness he wouldn't have gotghurt. OF course,
these people will all vote for Tilden. Isn't it
little strange that when man shows his
sympathy with secession, one has no trouble
| in knowing how lie will vote? The fact is
suggestive.
There appears to be plenty of peaches
this season, Notwithstanding the reports, last
Spring, Of injury to the buds by frost, &c.
There have been more peaches offered in our
streets thus far this season then we remember
to have seen offered any season for years past.
The stock, however, is not very good. For

and more fuzzy and smaller every year. The
large, smooth luscious looking fruit, with the
rich-colored tints that made it almost too hand
some to eat has disappeared entirely from
our market.
"A fine parade of Company G, of the
Seventh Regiment, came off last evening, &C
,cording to announcement The Company
formed at the armory on Bridge street, and pa
raded Union and Coryell to Main street
thence down Main and up Bridge as far as
the Lambertville House, at which place a
handsome sword was presented by Mayor
Sergeant to Sergeant Major Vansciver, as
token Of tie high esteem Of the Company, and
after few words of thanks, expressed by the
Major, in response to the appropriate remarks
of the Mayor, the Company were disbanded.
The sword is a handsome one.
Our contemporary Of last week is anxious
that the work Of sewer building should be
g done right" It asserts that the sewer
built last year on South Main Street, was not
properly built. We are inclined to believe
that the Judgment of Messrs. Thos. B. Fidler
DR.. Samh Lilly, DR., j. Hayhurst, Asa II.
Heath and j. II. Horn, is quite as good as to
what is fright asyis that of the present
Street Committee, In knowledge and expert
ence in such matters, they are far their super
iors. The sewer was built, mot to drain the
cellars of houses built on a bog, but to carry
off the surface water. This it does. The re-
building of the sewer is an outrage on the
taxpayers and should be prevented by an in
