Some Of the streets and pavements in the
City of Lambertsille are in a bad condition
for public travel. Traders who visit She city
on business complain of the distractions of
various kinds in some of our business thor

fort is made by those in authority to remove
many of the distractions which render travel
ing unsafe. The streets and pavements in
Coryell street, from Franklin to Main street,
ON both sides, have long been complained of
as have many other business parts of the city.
At the northwest corner of Coryell and
Franklin streets large quantity Of loose
curbng stone encumbers the streets and pave

much to the annoyance of the citizens of that
vicinity and the travelling public. Is not this
a violation of the city ordinances

day morning last, Chief Of Police s. s. Ely,
Of New Hope, received information from the
Chief Of Police of Trenton, that colored
man named VIM. Sheruby, Charged with tho
theft Of d horse and sleigh, or implicated
therein, the property of Joseph Taylor, Morris
vile, Pa, during the heavy snow storm Of
last New Years night, was thought to DO at
his fathers residence, near John Beaumont's,
and that he could doubtless be secured. Mr..
Il. gave the matter immediate attention and
visited Sheruby's' fathers residence, near
Brownsburg. He could get no reliable in-
formation from the members Of the family
for some time, but was finally led to believe,
from a remark made by one Of the children,
that young Sheruby was at his brothers. near
Washington Crossing, ON the N. j. side Of
the river. Mr. E. returned home and took
the o'clock train to Westinghouse Crossing,
louisville. Detective Ely repaired at once to
that village in quest of his man. He noticed,
soon after his arrival there, a young colored
man standing on a store porch alongside an
intimate acquaintanee De Mr.. Els, Mr.. VIII
son Large. After a momentary greeting our
New Hope detective signihod TO Mr.. L. his
desire to become acquainted with his colored
friend, whereupon Mr.. L., IN courteous
manner, said that with pleasure make you
acquainted with Mr..Shernby." Mr.. Ely, IN
der the circumstances, was much pleased to
make his acquaintance, and IN a very cordial
manner extended his hand, with the remark
Z" Mr.. s.. YOU are the very man am locking
for " and with the other took pair Of haiti
cuffs from his pocket. Sheruby requested
that he be not secured in this manner, prom
ising to go without trouble. Doubtful things
being very uncertain, Mr.. L. took advantage
of the doubt, and brought him to Mew Hope
and lodged him over night in thealock-up.-
Sheruby stated to the authorities that he did
not commit the theft, t4only got into ride
with another man who did the deed, and that
he was not aware, until he had ridden for
considerable distance, Of how or where his
companion had secured the horse and sleigh
On Tuesday afternoon he had a hearing be-
fore Squire johnson, the said Joseph Taylor
appearing against the prisoner. Mr.. T. tes
titled that there were two different kinds Of
footprints about his buildings the. following
morning, and that was evidence TO him that
two persons were interested. A conflicting
story by the prisoner placed the Justice under
the necessity of sending him to the County
Jail, and he was accordingly taken to Doyles-

their best clothes to worship Idols felt very
sad that SO many people believe in false gods
and worship them. | am trying to teach
some better and to lead them to the way of
the Saviour, but believe no one can change
