For THE KEC0R
LETTER FROM STOCKTON.

Mr.. EDITOR I'm the way of improvements
err places of like size and advantages. The
people are constantly adding some new i'm
provemeuts, such as repairing, repainting and
fencing.
We notice that II. B. Hellyer has just COM
pleted a neat carriage-shop on Risler street,
where he intends to carry on and do all kinds
of work in his line of business Also, that
A. w. Weller has just commenced to build 4
new house along the same street intended for
his own use and occupation. The house of
VIM. Ledger, on Bridge street, is slowly go
ing upward and further, we notice that a
new mansard roof is being put on the old
stone heap called the hotel. 1t is reported
over in Bucks CO., that the citizens of Stock
ton are putting it on. 1t is very true that
some are helping very literally, but some out
side of our village land a few over the river
occasionally lend helping hand. For our
part we beg to be excused from taking any
stock in the concern. No matter how hard
the times, rum shops and sa looms still -four
ish and can build and repair right along
Why? Because people pay for whskey first,
run bills at the stores and butcher shops of
$50, $40 and even more, and pay for that
which does them and their families no good
whatever.
Our town is getting to be pretty well off
for saloons. We now have one for each church
in number However, there is not strong
drink sold in all of them. BY the way it APP
pears that not any one works ON hotel and sa-
loon jobs unless he spends portion of his
wages for beverages.
Our town has been blessed with the visits
of several book agents also few tree agents,
some quack. medicine peddlers, and just as we
had hoped to be free from any further annoy
ance, there appears the lightning-rod man,
and he finds some men who have money to
spend fooishly, not that we disbelieve in a
good rod, which can be had very cheap, but
to cover house with rods in every direction
and point at every corner is all "bosh.'
More anon, A. B.

Whether it is advisable to join in the gen.
eral alteration and praise of Improvements :"
that now seem to pervade our city, is very
questionable.
When the financial embarrassmcnts are so
great and our city councils have so much diff
ficulty in adjusting the taxes to the necessary
requirements, and our citizens have trouble to
find the means to meet the demand of the tax
gatherer, is it proper time to launch out in
to Improvements -?
That Improvement on Bridge street,
west of the canal-feeder, executed by Capt.
Hughes, was unfortunate it led to the " inn
provement - on Union street, between Church
and Coryell streets, which of a necessity re-
quires further expenditure, similar to those
at the intersection of Union and Jefferson
streets, where no less than eight composite
bridges (of iron and wood) are necessary to
accommodate the pedestrian travel of that
section.
Messrs. Bovine and the Messrs. Van Horn
made great improvements !" in their stores
customers, and their success evidently led to
the improvements " by Mr.. Hooker and
Messrs. Finger & Co., and the next improve
ment perhaps will be to tear down and re-
build the unsightly buildings on the opposite
corner, and thereby disturb Messrs Hocombe
and Dr. Hayhurst.
Masonic Hall is another example of :" i'm.
provement that was not actually required.
AS society, the Masons could have remain
ed with the Odd Fellows few years longer
even if the ceiling is tumbling down. The
city Council could have remained in their old
quarters a while longer, and even now, in their
new room it is doubtful if they will be more
efficient than their predecessors. Mr.. Scar
borough's commodously arranged tobacco
store, in the Masonic building, undoubtedly
instigated the thorough remodeling of the to-
bacco store on Bridge street, nearly Opposite
the hotel, and that is termed an improvement
Capt. Bird makes an improvement in the
Lambertvie House Capt. Kitchin does the
same at the Bellemont Hotel. Mr. Zeiglei
puts in a pave wash y and Mr.. Wilson, We
suppose. is equally determined to improve.
OF all improvements to be deplored i:
that of the water supply to the city of Lam
bertyille. Under this infatuation many thou
sands of dollars have been expended and
more is required at least two-thirds of the

We have received the following commqn-
ication from the Principal of our Public
Schools, correcting an error in the report in
our last issue -
A communication in last weeks RECORD
respecting our Public Schools seems to have
made an erroneous impression upon some
minds as to the true status of the Grammar
Department of the Hill School,
The number assigned to this department by
the above mentioned article is substantially
correct, but the pupils are not properly dis
tributed among their respective teachers.
The present enrolment, as stated, is 81,
but of this number 80 are under the direct
and sole instruction of the Misses Leech and
Stout, thus giving to each an average of 40,
which is certainly fair complement Cor any
teacher. The remaining IL constitute the
class under the immediate care of the Princi-
pal The Rotations of this class are conduct
ed in the assembly room, where the principal
at the same time has the entire charge OF all
pupils studying in this room throughout the
day, with the single exception of one half
hour devoted to The writing classes.
This short period is the only time at the
command of the principal for visiting the
lower departments and this is almost invaria-
bly, taken for that purpose.
Although the article already referred to
was entirely correct in its general statement
and was in no wise intended to mislead, it
was deemed proper to make the above expla-
nation, in justice both to the two assistants in
the Grammar Department as to the real a.
mount of labor performed by them and also
to the principal, whose duties are not circum-
scribed by simple routine of Rotations, but
whose time is constantly occupied in various
ways, while endeavoring to supervise the
schools, for the performance of which duty he
has at best but limited opportunity.

expenditures have been to our own citizens
and in our city. DIR. Saml Lilly and Alexan-
der Grant, citizens able enough to do other
wise, were the very first to "take water"
then advocate its use, and praised it as an
Improvement !" and now at this date up
wards of fifty families are applicants for
water.
Another reprehensble innovation has been
made and those who so satisfactorily performi-
ed the duty last year, by their legitimate oc-
cupation of sprinkling the streets, are COM
pletely superseded by this Improvement"
termed "pave wash, and persons who do
not see the propriety or necessity of having
one on their premises, are SO importuned by
those who have adopted them, for the sake
of quietness, they have yielded an unwilling
consent to have them put in.
An indefatigabe citizen has leagued him.
self with foreign corporation, and has be-
come their agent, and has actually put in sue
cessful operation at the store of Messrs. Van
Horn and Capt. Days ice cream saloon,
":.Backus Motors by which two sewing ma
chimes are run and ice cream is made.
These pave washers " are in operation at
all hours of the day contrary to all rules and
the streets are kept so wet and damp that the
surface cannot be ground into an impalpable
powder, and blown by every puff of wind
through the stores and residences of our citi-
zens.
The old and worn out payements are yield
ing to the force of the "pave wash,' and
will have to be replaced by better and more
carefully laid material than heretofore.
The water from these "motors y forms
stream that must undermine the curbing and
reach the cellars, If not cared for and where
there are no paved cutters, the same must be
quilted and there is afforded AN opportunity
for the children to sail their tiny boats, dab
BILE in the water, soil their clothes and vex
their mothers /; the nuisance will be so great
that drainage will be a necessity and sewers
will be the Improvement soon to be called
for
The fire that occurred a few nights ago
demonstrated to some people the necessity
there is for more fire hydrants, bat this is
simply an absurd hankering after "improve-
ments engendered by the introduction of
water into the city.
These " Improvements are not required !;
the state of trade is evidently too dull to war;
rant them the city has grown gradually and
slowly without these improvements " and
would continue to grow ifthey were not made.
Fire insurance on property should be main
tanned at its higest rates thatth many agents
should have support, The plumbers, the
aborers and the merchants should not have
this business, resulting from improvements
thrust upon them, and it is time the people,
Citizens and property -holders-took this
matter in hand and investigated it thor
oughly. ~

225 at the New Hope fishery. On the same
day, at one haul, 81 shad were captured at
the Island fishery--the best haul that has
been made at that point for some time.
On Tuesday, 155 shad were taken at the
cry. On that day the largest catch of fine
shad that has been made for years in one haul
at the New Hope fishery was rnade-number

The Hunterdon Republican of last week,

The HuRterd0n Republican OF last week,
says =
'On Tuesday morning a smart talking chap
made his appearance in our town with num-
Der of pictures which he designated as first
class oil paintings They were showily got
ten up, with apparently handsome gilt
frames, and, without close inspection, really
appeared to be quite valuable pictures. His
sales were lively, and before night he had dis.
posed of his entire stock at prices which we
have heard stated as ranging from IS to $40
He represented that the pictures were painted
by himself, and that he was anxious to sell,
as he intended to leave Immediately for the
Paris Exposition, views of which he had en-
gagged to paint, His plan of operations was
to start by asking high price, and finallyin-
ducing his victim to make an offer, which
would be Immediately accepted. The fellow
must have collected quite large amount of
money from our art-loving citizens, and left
the town no doubt in high gee at the ease
with which he had duped SO many. These
pictures are what are known as Buckeyes"
and are manufactured in New York in large
numbers, at trifiing cost, for the express pur-
pose of swindlng the nnwary. The whole
business was shownup short time ago by
the New York Tribune. but in spite of all the
warnings given. people will persist in being
taken in by the fraud. "Oil paintings . are
likely to be at discount in Pennington for
some time to come"
Two fellows we're in this city last week SELL
have sold number at high prices to leading
citizens. So far as we are aware, they didn't
get over So for anything sold here. That was
quite reduction from $60-the original price
asked

cRoPs.-There is every prospect of a fine
hay crop in Bucks county this year. Clover
looks better in the moving fields than it has
done for several years past. Pasturage is
very good for the season, and most farmers
have turned their cattle into the fields. Wheat
and rye look well but in some cases they are
too rank in growth. Oats has come up nicely
and evenly. Potatoes are looking fine and
bugs !" are unusually plentiful.
