The hardware store Of Julius Daley, at
White House Station, was burned to The
ground on Friday night last, together with
its contents embracing a full stock of goods.
The fire originated from the bursting of
kerosene lamp.
"A lamp between Main and George, on
Elm street, has not been lighted, we are told
by . resident Of that street, for about four
weeks. AS the city pays for the light, the
people have a right to expect that the lamp
lighter will attend to it.

There are a number of people in this city
more deserving than many who get help from
the city, who cannot receive aid from the pub
lie funds because their residence is elsewhere.
So far as they are concerned they must starye
or 20 to some township or county miles away
This seems hard.

"A Mr.. Osgood, of Maine, delivered tenn
perance address in Trenton on las Thursday
evening, at the close of which enc hundred
persons, many of them hard drinkers, signed
the pledge. The ladies' of the Trenton Branch
of the Woman's Christian Union are alsadn~.
ing good work in behalf of the ihtemperate,
they having reclaimed number. The tenn
perance work was never in better condition
than at present.
The death of Miss Anna Leigh, Of Union
township, is announced. The personal effects
of this venerable lady comprised many OBJ
.jects very interesting on account of their an
tiquity. There is a carriage which must be
nearly hundred years old. A family Bible
dates back over ITO years. Many papers of
much antiquity and private interest had been
safely preserved by her Some $4,000 in
money was found scattered in various places
about her apartments. which it is thought she
herself had perhaps forgotten .--Clsnton Dem.

Efforts are being made in Newark to
change moving day :" from April 1st to May
LIST, to correspond with the time in New York
and other cities. In this section April LIST is
also the time for moving, and itwould be bet
ter on some accounts if it were changed to
May, particularly on account of the more
pleasant weather. But on the other hand, it
would be Objectionable in the country owing
to the farming interests, as it would interfere
materially with those who remove from one
farm to another, and who have their blowing
to do and other early Spring work to look
after.
Mr.. r. H. VanHorn, the go-ahead Com
mercial Row dry goods merchant, has leased
the room adjoining his store, now occupied
by the post-office, and will on the first of
April, in partnership with Ills brother Sam
uel, open in it a boot aud shoe and carpet store.
No place has been secured for the post-ofice.
The difficulty is, no one knows who is the
looming man." and so if the fifteen or twen-
ty candidates were each to rent a room on ex-
pectation, all but one would find themselves
in an unfortunate predicament, and it would
not pay SO many to start post-ofiices on their
own hook.

was made in our last issue, broke out at five

ance. The further spread Of fire was checked
by fire apparatus from Eastoa, Belvidere hav-
ing no fire department On Thursday morn
