The condition of the negroes in the South
ern States is said to be more encouraging than
was expected. The colored people are in
creasing in education as well as numbers.
This may put another complexion on the race
as a factor in the politics of the country.
In Burlington county temperance ticket

Greenback Labor party hold convention on
the list, and if they do not then put ticket
in the field they will probably do SO pretty
soon thereafter.
The body of Louis Hauenstein, father OF
ex-Councilman Hauenstein, was found float

If you desire cheeks with roses of health

Mr.. EDITOR We notice that " Hunter
don County" had another very hSaey article
in your last issue, concerning the letting Of
the iron work on the Stony Brook bridge, and
of course, makes some very heavy dives for
our scalps. We suppose this being the first
office he has ever had is reason for his sign
ing his name g Hunterdon County," and no
doubt he imagines he is the whole county-as
is often the case with men when they get an
Office for the first time. As he has not produc-
ed anything in this I" shot y worthy of notice,
all we will do this time is to refer him to Mr..
j. M. Dilts, Freebooter of our own township,
and one of that "immortal committee F." that
put out the work on the bridge, and who says
land we can prove it, that we were the lowest
bidders and should have had the job and it
was wrong that we did not get it Now,
" Hunterdon County," if we are making
wrong charges against You, look after the
members of that committee, and not insinu.
ate that we were incompetent to do the work.
You are new beginner in this Freebooter
business, now do try and make decent
record for yourself and even if you do have
to go out next March, go out with clean hands
AS many others have not done-and make a
curiosity for Hunterdon County.

ANOTHER Destructive FIRE.-0n We'd
nesday afternoon last, another visitation of
the fire fond destroyed the barn and attempt
ed to deal In similar manner with the house
on the premises of Mr.. Levi Cooper, in Sole
bury. Mrs. Cooper, it appears was the only
person known to have been about the build
ings-and she was attending to her household
duties-when the barn was first discovered to
be on fire. Mr. Cooper, and boy whom he
had working for him, were out working in a
field some distance away, but before they be-
came aware (either by seeing the flames and
smoke or by being informed of it by Mrs.
Cooper and were able to reach the building
the flames had completely wrapped up the
structure so that defiance was bid to any who
would have dared to attempt to save any of
the things that were therein contained. The
Delaware hand-engine, OF New Hope, arrived
at the scene at about this juncture, but could
do nothing from two reasons-the flames had
to burn, and secondly, in Running the engine
to the place some part of the apparatus had
been broken. To add to this excitement the
attention of the many who had collected was
directed toward the house which, too, was be-
ginning to show that it was on fire. A rush
was made in that direction and it was ascer-
tanned that flames had been kindled on the
second floor among some clothes. The fire,
at this point, was put out but not until it had
done considerable damage. One of the un-
fortunate features about the affair at the
house, we are informed, was that so many
things we're broken and rendered useless by
those who thought the house doomed and
wanted to save the articles from the consum
Jig clement
The BARNS contents, including almost the
entire crops of tse season, farming imple-
ments, and good carriage, together with "a
valuable horse, were consumed.
The things destroyed were pretty well in-
sured, yet the loss to Mrs Cooper is source
of Encouragement to him.
The burning of buildings in Solebury tsp.
has FOR long time been matter of great
mystery. Mr.. c. house and barn have been
burned to the ground once before, within
three or four years, and the barns of Maj. r..
E. Boyd, and Watson P. Magil, have shared
the same fate in the above period, and all oe-
CURED in the light of open day. The fire in-
surance companies-and people generally
are much perplexed over the matter.

more thorough system of organization. The

last. A few years ago Thomas left New Hope
and became a travelling preacher.
The society above mentioned intend resort
ing to the holding of a camp-meeting, at a
not distant day, as means of benefit to the
church. The cost and make spiritually rather
than financially should be the objects that
prompt the holding of such meetings, espec-

the Lords Day.

Tho Huaterdon Democrat says "THE
RECORD is policy paper and therefore will
print and publish all the Greenbackers
want printed" The editor is Mistaken
THE RECORD is ne,ospaper and
therefore we report the meetings and do
ings of the Greenbackers the Democrats or
any other political party. We do not advo-
cate Greenback principles, but condemn them.
We have no such conception of our all
mightiness, as to presume that if we failed to
notice them and refused to print their bills
they would wither away. We wonder that
the Democrat don't refuse to advertise for Re-
publicans under the pretext that it would be
encouraging the Republican party.

is it not about time that something was
done with the pavements at the corner of
Union and Coryell streets? The step down
60 the crossings is so great that it is hardly
safe for aged people to attempt passing along
this section of the city. 1t is not to the credit
of the old Street Committee that the improve
ment of the street was turned over to the new
Committee in this unfinished and incomplete
condition. The old Committee seemed to fear
to accept the responsibility of carrying fully
into effect the grades which had been adopt
ed, and the new Committee seem to be quite
as slow to move. To leave such an inconveni-
ent and even dangerous condition of affairs
for five months is not creditable to our city
authorities. Either fill up the street or cut
down the payements.

NARROW EsCAPE.-On Monday, as Mrs.
David Cunningham, of New Hope, was about
to get bucket of water from the spring, a
short distance below her residence, she found
that she had come to the watering place " at
fortunate time as one of Mr.. Jos. Peaker's
children had just accidentally fallen into the
water while playing about it. The spring con-
tanned about three feet of water. The little
one was rescued.

Insurance that does not insure Every
careful man should examine for himself the
condition of the Company in which his prop
erty is insured. Remember these are trying
times for Fire Insurance Companies, and it is
worse than folly to pay for insurance that
does not insure. The Etna mentioned in an
other column is one of the oldest and strong
est companies in the United States. If.

DoYLEsTowN JAIL.-The Mirror says that
the vigilance of Jailor OFT is deserving of
special commentator. Again this week, has
he detected some dangerous criminals with
their shackles cut. He found small broken
knife, with serrated edge, which had evident
bolts of the irons. With such an apology for
place of detention as Bucks County possess
es the only wonder is that there is not gem
eral Jail delivery. When the vigilant jalor
catches any of the fellows at their tricks he
makes them understand that, whatever the
indications of the thermometer may bet is

Last week we intimated that Beecher's
article in the Newark Press on the editor of
the Hunterdon Democrat, sounded very much
like the style of the local editor of the Demo
crat. Now, Beecher ought to have got mad at
that, but instead, it is the "local" of the
Democrat. Well, we will apologize. We take
back what we said. Beocher's style was far
more decent and gentlemanly than that of the
"local," aud we ought not to have mistaken

The "local -" of the Hunterdon Democrat,
referring to our article of last week in refer
ence to him, says we take an ounce of truth
and spread it over twenty tons of surface, y
which is incorrect. He overestimates his
weight and size altogether. He don't weigh
a ton, to say nothing of twenty. The truth
we take in ounces he takes in drains, and
there is considerable difference in that
