Mr.. EDITOR The article in your paper of
the 18th inst, signed q Hunterdon County,"
and, we suppose, meant to be reply to ours
of the week previous, is not denial of any
of the allegations we made, but simply har-
angue of insinuations against us that we
it had been awarded us. In the first place,
4" Hunterdon County," as he calls himself,
says he supposes " the article was meant to
squelch the committee, but no deaths have
vet occurred" We would inform him that
there is some punishment for him before that
event takes place, as we'll as after, and it is
only question of time, as political death
will surely follow such actions as took place
ON the occasion OF letting the work on the
Stony Brook bridge ; and this is not the only
transaction of the kind, and the people are
getting their eyes open.
AS far as our not knowing anything about
such work, we would say we can do the work
in as good manner as anyone, and when we
bind ourselves under bonds to do such work,
not asking a cent until it is completed, we
hold the risk is all on our part and not on the
part of the committee, and if they wish to
act honestly and in good faith with their con-
stituents they are bound to give it to the low
est bidder.
Hunterdon County" says he don't know
whether we Z" ever worked at operative O.
speculative masonry" We would inform hin
ours is operative, and that we suppose his i
the speculative, as it is presumed he has
small make in it--according to the way the
job was put out, or, at least this is the con
clusion of those that have the work to pa
for

tB What might have proved an awful ca
tastrophe was providentially averted at the
residence of John II. Parse, on Branch street,
in Pennington, Wednesday morning last
Mr. and Mrs. Parse arose in the morning and
prepared breakfast, leaving their three little
children in bed. After breakfast while,
Mrs. Parse went up stairs for some purpose,
and in passing the children's room incident
ally looked into it, when, to her utter amaze
ment, she discovered that one of her dresses
was lying in heap upon the floor, from
which smoke was issuing and fame nearly
ready to shoot forth. The timely discovery
enabled her to extingush the fire easily. 1t
turned out that one of the little children had
found couple of matches in the room,
and lighting them had innocently
thrown them down, piled the dress
on top of them to smother out the
flames, and got back into bed. Had the dis
covery been made little later it might have
been impossible to save either the little ones
or the house .-Hunterdon Democrat.

Frenchtown, July 10, 1878.
Mr.. Editor The great fire which occur
red at this place June 90, 1878, aroused the
people of the place to the necessity of having
suitable and proper provisions against the de-
mon-fire. Much has been said pro and CON,
since that time as to the advisabilty of pur-
chasing a steam fire engine. Public meet
ings have been held and at the last one a COM
mittee consisting of DIR. E. X. Deemey Peter
S. Kugler, Ishmael Brink, Hugh E. Warford,
William II. Martin, Philip G. Reading,
Charles B. Higgins, Nathan Shurtz and
Edward b. Kachline was appointed to
report at an adjourned meeting, the
best means to be devised to purchase
a steam fire engine. This committee is COM
posed of the best citizens of the place and
without prejudice and without favor we un-
hesitatingly say that we know some of them
are decidedly in favor of the immediate pur-
chase of a steamer and then should we again
be visited by the fire fiend as we were few
days ago, we will feel assured we have some
thing in our midst on which we can rely.
Scarcely six weeks have passed since our
Common Council by vote of to licensed
the sale of rum in our midst to help business.
Result-two farmers arrested for drunkenness
two farmers laid in the hayloft until the
perfume of the liquor left them three young
men parading our streets at MONDAY drunk !;
men drunk on the Sabbath day one of the
largest fires ever known in the place. the
work of an incendiary, probably caused by
rum wife beaten and children TUNED into
the street. All this in less than six weeks,
yet it "helps business" and will conduce
to the public good" Gentlemen, give us
steamer-more water and less whskey.

The contract for building the iron bridge
over SONY Brook, near Woodsville, was let
Yesterday to Mr.. VIM. johnson, of Lambert
vile, for SO, $50. The average bid was 49,,
2230. Proposals came from Trenton. Penna.,
parties seemed satisfied and no little "Silley !"
side-shows were exhibited. This bridge, a
few years ago, would have cost double tue
amount, if not more, aud we believe the day
is not far distant when cast iron houses will
be in vogue in this county. They certainly
could be made very attractive, especially III
a thunder shower, and, considering strength,
durability and the trouble of setting on fire,
would be cheaper than wood or brick build
ings AS was expected Silley " g. Co. were
on hand, but, contrary to expectation, did
not offer a bid for the bridge, and the sup
position is that they have given up all
branches of industry and grasped the mighty
pen which speaks in thunder tones and moves
the world without saying word. The same
article we learn, which appeared in THE
RECORD two weeks ago, came out in the
Beacon last week, over the same funny
name, and who knows but that it may blaze
up afresh out West somewhere and set fire
to a new political party. Large oaks from
little acorns grow, and small streams from
little stone quarries flow.

The complaint of the Newtown Base Ball
Club that the umpire decided unfairly in
the recent game between them and the New
Hope base ball club, is absurd. The umpire
was gentleman from Lambertvillc whose
standing as an honorable man will compare
favorably with any of the Newcomers. 1t is
usual tor clubs to respect the decision of the
umpire, and not act like babies because they
find they can't beat their antagonists.

EXTENSION OF NEwTowN RAILRoAD.-The
Enterprise says We understand it is now in
contemplation to extend the railroad from
Newtown to the Delaware river at an early
day, and for this purpose efforts are being
made to procure the right of way over the
route. The distance from the end of the road
in Newtown to the Belvidere road, on the east
side of the river, is only six miles. On Thurs
day Cyrus Hillborn commenced negotiations
for right of way, and he reports that most of
the landholders on the route appear favorably
inclined, and do not ask excessive damages.

EB- The population of Hunterdon Co., N.
j., by the last report was 34,51s, and that of
Essex 169,056 The rateables of Hunterdon
were $24, 65S, 600, and of Essex STA, s65, 600.
This gives Essex about five times the popula-
ton and taxable property of Hunterdon.-
Now here is the point. Last year it cost the
taxpayers, most of whom are farmers and
workingmen, 1884, 900 to run that ring ridden
and ring robbed county. It cost to run Es-
sex exclusive of special taxes that are not
levied in Hunterdon, 1854, 1874, $4,000 less
than it cost to run Hunterdon County. 1t
is safe to presume that there is a nest of
thieves in Hunterdon as bad if not worse
than the gang exposed and caught by the
Greenback Party in Warren county. They
will serve the Hunterdon ring as they have
that of Warren county, aud the time is not
long either. Taxpayers do your duty and
save yourselves.--The Press.

behalf, even If neighbor to Us, under such
circu instances" That's so, 6 Hunterdon, "
but we have seen the same man open his jaws
very wide over cut-gass tumbler many a
time and know it is perfectly natural to him,
and does not require any superhuman strength
to do it.
He says the contract was let in good hands,
and we don't deny it, and further we don't
deny that goods marked the lowest are not
always the cheapest but this seems to be
the plan adopted 10 selecting Freeholders late
ly, as the man with the least brains and the
most money to buy whiskey is the lucky chap.
Again he says this awful committee meets
in Lambertville, on the 23d, to put out the
iron work of said bridge" Now we don't
see any necessity for it unless simply to run
up their bills, as we suppose the job is al
ready set up aud the meeting only ruse, to
act as an eye-shutter for the taxpayers.
After getting off great many very sharp
sayings and capital hits, as he supposes, old
Hunterdon County" makes quite sensa-
ton over small typographical error on the
part of the printer in spelling our name
wrong. Our name is g Sellery," instead of
"Silley." 1t is herb that grows late in the
Fall and is used as Winter luxury, but there
will be some of it on hand in the Spring
about town meeting time or any other time
you wish any Of it, and all you have to do is
to come or send for it. So help yourself old
&" Hunterdon.' You "pays your money
and takes your choice"
But enough of this. We would say that
the way the job was put out on this bridge
was not doing the taxpayers of Hunterdon
and Mercer counties justice, and we as we'll
as others, condemn such actions on the part
of freeholders and don't believe the writer of
the article in your last issue, although he
signs himself Hunterdon county," speaks
the sentiments of those he pretends to repre-
sent. If the committee acted justly and pru-
IDENTIFY let him come out and sign his proper
name and advocate his cause in earnest as we
intend to do under all circumstances when
we know we are right,

places met band Of Gypsies encamped along
the road. The unusual display frightened
the horse and he began rearing and plunging
in frightful manner, finally overturning the
wagon on Mrs. Mcpherson and her little girl
who was accompanying her. One of the Gyp-
sy women hurried to the scene and extricated
the two from their perilous position. The horse
fortunately remained quiet after upsetting

ell. Tho papers of both the old farties nave
as yet scarcely recognized us, and the neutral
papers seem afraid to even make merton OF
our wonderful progress. We do not, OF
course, expect much from those SO long PRINT
ed in our midst, and shall of course support
our friends who sand by MS III the contest for
the people 1t is, however, fair to say that
the Record, of this city, has treated us so far
another grand mass meeting in the course of
few weeks and other meetings in this yicin-
ity."
So far as THE RECORD is concerned, it has,
as matter of local news, given all the facts
concerning the Greenback movement here
that it has been able to gather. That it has
i" searcely recognized" the party is not cor
rect for mum her of notices of the club, the
meetings. &c. have been published. The

into effect of the principles that that patty
enunciates. We shall endeavor to demon
srtate this fact in coming issues.

SO much nonsense and falsehood is CONSTANT
ly repeated about the opposition of the Catho-
lie Church to science, aud particularly about
it's former position towards the Copernican
theory that, by way of effect it may not be
amiss 10 give the following utterance of Mar
tin Luther:
81 am now informed that q new astrologer is
risen " ho presumeth to prove that tie earth
moveth and goeth about-not the armament,
the sun and moon, not the stars-like when
sitteth in a crack, in q ship that is
moved, thinketh he sitteth still and resteth
but the earth and trees do move, and men them
selves. Thus 1T goes, we give up ourselves to
our own foolish fancies and conoeits. This
fool (Copernicus) will turn the whole art of
astronomy upside down, but the Scripture
showeth and teacheth another lesson when
Joshua commanded the sun to stand, and not
the eartE."
From the above it will be seen that the cele-
brated Luther occupied the same position as
that taken by Jasper, the oolored preacher who
has recently created great deal of excitement
among the negroes and amusement among the
whites of Richmond by contending that "the
sun do move"
