berteiile. II was owned 100 years ago by
Richard lioicombo, representative OF 81 o
numerous aud thrifty Holoomhes whose an
eestors settled in these parts as long ago as
l'oa. Betore the house is a large walnut tree,
now showing signs of decay. under whose
shade, according 20 authentic tradition, Wash
ington and Geeene were often in close counsel.
On the Pennsylvania side, there was pointed
out 70 visitors an immense chestnut tree, six
or seven feet in diameter which is now mag
nitoeut ruin all OF it's great branches except
ING two or three being entirely bare Three
years ago It WAS still covered with foliage,
and its skeleton shows that It must have been
a tree of the grandest character and proper
tons Standing hard by the old ferry road
on the first considerable rise above the river,
il is easy ~ believe that Washington selected
this as the point from which 10 snperintend
the crossing, and il is very touching TO OBJ
serve the confidence with which every native
Of New Hope asserts that his great. grand
mother was the little girl who carried the cup
of cold water 10 the Father Of his Country as
he stood under the branches of the great
Chestnut. aud it was his great,grandfather
who held the Generals horse while he lunch
ed under it's hospitsbe shadow. IL is well
worth noting, too, that at one point the pro-
cession was reviewed by Mrs. Britton, a VEN
cradle Quaker lady. who was two years and
nine months old when Washington crossed
the river in IT'S. Her placid face, lighted up
with quiet interest on the occasion, will be
the pleasantest memory carried away form
Lambertville by hundreds of visitors to-day.
The only prominent feature of the programme
omitted was the Governors. Governor Hart
ranft concluded to go to Monmouth next week,
but he preferred to take some other route
than Coryell's Ferry. Governor Mcclellan
had Just been double L. d. ID ut Princeton, and
of course he couldn't come, while Joel Park
er telegraphed That he had missed the train.
If the Governor had come, they would have
ridden under triumphant arches, and by hous-
es all garanded with festoons of flowers and
wreaths of evergreen. They would have
heard some excellent speeches. and would
have been entertained at sumptuous dinner.
They would have seen very creditable pro-
cesson, and throngs of happy people, and
would have had all the revolutionary blood in
their veins sent dancing along with new life.
When the people had time to think of the
Governors, they felt sorry for them, because
the Governors had missed so much.

STORMITHE CITADEL.

There is growing disposition on the
part of portion of the ministers of this,
and other cities, to introduce among us an
element Of nagisterial power, the pulpit
In ether words, that civil magistracy should
in some matters be subjected to the spiritual
monitions of the clergy. This effort is
noticeable in their attempt to ban the
circus and menagerie, as well as the theatre;
also the threat that q band of informers
will usurp police functions and institute
prosecutions against violators Of the laws
Of the State, It was just such spirit that
led to the bloody wars In Germany and
France, and the demoniacal prosecutions for
opinions sake, in Spain, Scotland, Holland,
England and, above all, in Ireland.
Under the ever>rising tide Of Indifferent
ism and unbelief, the clergy are, restive'
and with bad taste, and worse judgment,
begin kind of guerilla warfare upon
matters and morals, while they neglect or
fear to meet the enemy upon the great
issue at stake.
There can be no argument based upon
authoritive dogma against sports and
pastimes, within which the amusement of
the circus is embraced. If not, therefore,
psr So wrong, why denounce it u Is it not
stepping aside from the proper duty of a
pastor to interfere with non-essential
mattersi Nothing is more certain to pro-
duce revolt against the ministers on the
part of the young than an attempt to re-
strain them within unnatural and artificial
bounds.
The threat enuncisted by notorious
preacher of this city, that he VIII head the
crusade against the liquor dealers, Is not
calculated TO help his cause or lessen the
evil of drunkenness. Where community
well knows that deaalier vices arc rampant,
vices which strike at the very being of
society, are unreproved, because the pulpit
is afraid to speak. What respect can be
had for those who single out lesser crime,
while condoning greater. There is not
q clergyman in Wilmington but knows
that infanticide in some shape 10 the crime
of the age-that it loudly calls to God for
vengeance. Yet which of them have cours
age enough to arraign Its perpetratorsi J
If the theatre, circus, mensgerie, and even
the rum shop were let alone, and 60 at the
devils citadel of infdelity and murder, it
were better for all.
