Robert Wallace, prisoner in the Hunter
don County Jail, becoming so cold one night
recently that he was afraid he would freeze to
death, opened the cell door with kick of his
foot and lay down TO sleep beside a stove in
the corridor. In this position Wallace was
found by the keeper, and he was tried on the
charge of breaking jail. The jury disagreed.
The above is from the Trenton State Ga
zettc. If the Gazette's reports of occurrence
es in other portions of the State are no more
reliable than are those of events in this sec
ton, there is little dependence to be put upon
them Wallace was tried for breaking Jail at
the lookup in this city. and there is no truth
in the stuff about his breaking down the door
to get at the fire to warm himself. He had
been arrested for stealing and was trying to
get away from the laws grasp.

OPPOSITION TO THE AMwELL SPINNING

RECORD, our readers will know the cause
This important addition to our business was
as unexpected as 1t is fortunate. Three gen
tlemen of our city, Che initials of whose
names arc ]. Furman Martindell, John l..
Wilson and Isaac N Leech,) attended sale
near Rocktown, yesterday and noticing that
we had advertised for spinning wheel, pur-
chased one at the sale. regardless of cost, and
by their combined efforts, packed it in Capt.
Days oyster wagon and brought it to this
city. We heard them tugging the machine
up our office steps late in the evening, and onr
untimely presence spoiled their intent not to
let the left hand know what the right hand
was doing. We thank them for their thought
full remembrance of our wants. This spin
ming wheel is not little fellow, just born in
to the world, but regular old grandfather,
who has seen many days and full Of trouble.
All of our subscribers who have paid in adj
vance will be permitted to see it without

vance or otherwise may send in their arrear-
ages and look at it or not, just as they please.

IN THE NEST.

Gather them close to your loving heart
Cradl them on your breast;
They viii soon enough leave your brooding care,
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that the children'S hearts are gay
That their restless feet will run;
There may come Il time in the by-and-by,
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound OF childish fun;
When you'll long for a repetition sweet
That sounded through each room,
OF Mother, ''' Mother" the dear love calls
That will echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their silent gloom.
There may come a time when you'll long TO hear
The eager, boyish tread,
The tunelesS whistle, The clear, shrIlls Shout
The busy hustle in and out,
And pattering overhead.
When the BOYS and girls are all grown up,
And scattered far and wide.
Or gone to the undiscovered shore,
Where youth and age come nevermore,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them close to your loving heart,
Cradle them your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brooding care,
Soon enough mount youths topmoSt starr
Little ones in the nest.
