COLLAR BONE BROKEN. -On Monday af
ternoon of last week, Harlem G.. Chamberlin,
of Pennington, while returning from Lock
town in wagon in which were three other
men, met with quite severe accident. In
coming down the hill near Eyeritt's Corner,
the tongue of the wagon came out, which
caused it to run to one side Of the road. Mr..
G. fearing an upset, jumped out, but did not
get beyond the reach of the wagon, which did
upset, and fastened him to the ground, the
three other men falling upon him. Besides a
severe bruising, Mr.. Chamberlain's collar
bone was broken. DR.. Geo. R. Sullivan re-
paired damages. The other gentlemen es-
capped injury. " Harl being lawyer, will
have time while the bone is knitting to ex-
anime bis books and find what the law has to
say about wagon-tongues coming loose in the
middle Of hill and hurting folks. Hunter

There's town far away In the Swedish domain
Who're q troublesome problem at length they've made
plain
The problem was this-and hard one to touch
To sell drink, but prevent them from buying too much.
The pubcans tried but II all was in vain
They often mistook what man could contain;
They were tempted to think that so long as he'd pay
They might let him drink all he could carry away.
SO the BUYERS rot drunk and the sellers got rich
lnese Quit up their fortunes those lay IN the ditch
That cure must be found for the crying disgrace
So to seek for a cure all tile quiduuncs began,
And they hit before long on tho Gothenburg plan
BY this plan all benevolent men who are handy
Form jont-stock concern to be dealers In brandy.
On rules Of high virtue they deal out the stuff,
And their aim Is that every man have just enough
If they see men tempted unduy to guzzle,
In an instant they clap on the Gothenburg muzzle
If a weak-headed brother apply for a gill;
The attendant distinctly refuses TO fiji
With acuteness they watch every customers eye,
And decide the right moment to stop the supply.
If with small should perchance loitcr mi
They sterDly refuse to supply him with gin
But in lieu Of that liquor which makes him SO plaguy
Will give him glass of the beer Of Carnegie.
So the traffic goes on In a heavenly style;
All is virtue and order and comfort the while;
The benevolent men, with their pockets weighed down,
Have abundance Of money to give TO the town.
The ratepaycrs, too, warmly and earnestly bIsss
The men whoye contryed that the rates should be less
There's nothing so good as the Gothcnburg plan"
aIudced - says doubter; but how, then, explain
That police-ces and prisons still crowded remain
How Is it that stiIl they endure the drink curse,
And that Gothenburg even than Uyerpool's worse?'
ooh never mind that says the Gothen burg man:
A fig for the facts; it's an excellent plan.
Objections Ike yours are no better than CANNON
We can, and we will. serve both God and Mamrnon.
.ss come. my dear fellow. just act Ike man.
And, whatever yon do, praise the Gothenburg plan ~

NEW HopE FIRE sDEPARTAfENT. The
Eagle Steam Fire Company, of New Hope,
is undergoing repairs. New tubes are being
which are about worn out The steamer will
necessarily be out of service about ten days
or two weeks. The cost attending such re-
pairs as the steamer is now undergoing, is
considerable, about $500 or $500, and is of suf-
ficient import to call the attention of the pub
lie to the Departments means of sustaining
itself in its work of saving life and property
from destruction by fire and also to elicit
attention to the claims the Company should
rightfuly assert and the support that should
be given generally by property holders, and
others, who come under the scope of it's pro-
lection. The Eagle has been and is at the
present time a self-sustaining institution
throughout. 1t is not aided by means of
appropriations from the Borough Council
and outside of the public patronage of pic
mics, entertainments, &C., gotten up and con-
Quoted each year with fair success by the
members, and the presentation to the Com
pany of a number of ornamental and other
little aid rendered by those who most need
the services of a steamer. While this is said
in favor of the firemen, what bearing has it
upon the property holder, who does not meas
ure up to his duty in this respect That cred
it is due the Company, and they nell deserve
it, is beyond question AS a result of judici-
GUS management the expenses for keeping the
engine in suitable working order have not
been very great, it is true, only amounting to
about 800 during the past six years, but suf-
ficiently great, when viewed in connection with
other expenses, incident to the purchase and
maintenance of model fire apparatus, to
make it unjust to expect tabor, money, pro
lection to property, &C., all to the property
owner for nothing, comparatively speaking.
The Eagle boys do not complain they airle
only bent on giving their services whenever it
is possible, with commendable spirit, and as
they have considerable amount of money
in the hands Of their Treasurer, financial diff
ficulties win not be likely to embarrass them
to any great extent, even in the present case
of repair, yet, to us it is quite clear that a
moderate appropriation from the town would
be but just recognition of their services
They could by the aid of such appropriation,
and their own efforts, soon erect for them
selves suitable eDginc-house, and keep their
working apparatus in far better trim, and the
whole department be made more indispens-
able to the town than it is even to-day! The
Company will now have to expend nearly $500
for the present repairs to engine, which sum
is somewhat in advance of the amount in the
Treasurer's hands, and now would BE an ex-
cellent time for those who appreciate the
Eagles services, to place at the Company's
disposal a substantial guarantee of such an
existing sentiment. In order to provide for
this praise-deserving institution, why not inn
pose tax Of a few cents on every hundred
dollars worth Of taxable property in the Bor-
ough, and give our firemen fair chance?

VINO rs SAFE PIN neighboring city a
young man studied medicine and graduated
in the medical college Of that city. He was
an only child and had been carefully and re-
ligiously trained, and bis course had invaria-
bly, given promise Of . life Of usefulness and
happiness.
He opened ain Office IA his fathers house,
and practised with satisfactory success.
Later in tho Autumn Of the third year he
married On New Years day. in faultless
costume, accompanied BY several friends, he
set out to make large number Of calls.
Having been married SO recently many toasts
were proposed for the bride, and Of course it
was expected and insisted upon that he should
take wine with those who offered compliments
to his bride. He declined taking wine, when
ever he could, but many of his friends urged
him and even rdiculed his abstemious no-
tions.'
Ere the midnight hour came, he was found
in the station house his faultless costume of
the morning soiled and torn, and he "uproarit
ously drunk
This important result of New Year calls is
of very recent date. This young man claimed
to be positive temperance man and was
really total abstinence man, but he was no.
a pledged man. Had he been, how easy it
would have been to have said" am pledged
to total abstinence and my friends must ex-
cuse me-" No person of good breeding or ac-
customed to the courtesies of good society
would press the matter further.
This case propes that a young man most
carefully trainsd Alright from infancy and
pursuing right course--escept hs is pledged
to total a6stinsnce,--is not safe.
