Mount Airy, N. j., June Goth, 1877
Who is SAFE ?--An honest old farmer liv-
ing in the vicinity of Rocktown, and the own
ner of a patent right was visited some time
ago by monstrous land-shark, hailing from
New York burg, who induced him to enter in-
to regular copartnership patent right BUSH
ness Sharkey to do the selling and farmer
to receive one-half the profits.
Two thousand dollars worth Of rights were
soon disposed Of and notes taken for the
amount, which notes were duly Endorsed by
the partners and divided. Sequel-Farmer
now holds one thousand dollars of spurious
paper, and one John Ramsey, horse jockey
general, of Pennington, the other one thou
sand with farmers Endorsement, aud Sharkey
has " gone where the wood bine twineth."
similar business was transacted near
Sand Brook, about the same time When
will people learn to pay up their subscriptions
more punctually, and pay more attention to
the general news of the day.
VINO rs SAFE ?--On last Sabbath afternoon,
while grazing in the yard, horse belonging
to Mr. Williamson, near Mount Airy, broke
through and fell into a well about fourteen
feet deep. There was about five feet Of wat
er in the well, but fortunately the well is
large enough to allow horse to stand upon
his feet and keep his head out of water The
neighbors turned out and a home constructed
derrick was speedily rugged with ropes and
pulleys, enoughto fully fit out a respectable
man-of-war, but how to get them on the
horse properly seemed to be the sticlser.
However, the ropes were got on somehow
and the poor horse raised to the top, but just
at the critical moment he struggled and slip
ped out of the ropes and fell down into the
well again. A second attempt was made and
the poor animal got out, not much the worse
of his adventure save some bruises and a
thorough cooling Off, the ropes having been
put on the last hitch by one who has had some
experience as a brakeman on raft and a
sailor on the raging canal.
VINO is SAFE PHO be humbugged is near
| iy as bad as to be bitten by snake, and yet
we are persuaded by some bread-stuif opera
tors that in order to have nice bread we must
buy -four made in some other country, or at
least some other town except Lambertville.-
We have tried the Milford Flour Reigesville,
Branch Mills, and in fact nearly all the other
mills and other villes in the country, except
Scranton, and find 30 ionr superior in any
way to that made by Holcomb & Niece,
Lambertyille, notwithstanding all the hum
bug talk to the contrary.
WHO is SAFE ?-Mr. E. b. Holcombe, a
few days ago, while assisting some men who
were building bridge nearlhis house to I'M
load heavy stone, had several of his toes
badly crushed by the stone falling UPON them.
He is now in Camp Convalescent, but will soon
.be able to be returned to duty again, land in
the future will give his whole attention to the
wool trade, which is not SO dangerous to ham
die. ts
Who IS SAFE ?-The snake crop this year
is uncommonly large aud the apple crop un-
commonly light, and as certain medicine
made of apple juice is one Of the best anti
dotes for snake bites, besides being pleasant
to lake, it makes the situation terrible to con-
template.
NOBODY is SAFE ?--For Gus, and Tom,
and Tom and Dory, are raising hemp enough
to hang the whole creation, and some of our
lady friends have embarked in the broom
corn business in order to make clean sweep
