REcEPTIoN.--On Tuesday evening last, the
Church, assembled at the parsonage to re-
ceive their new pastor, Rev. Amos johnson,
and his wife. Since the session of the Phila.
Annual Conference the Rev. Mr.. Johnson has
been officiating Mt the New Hope NJ. e.
Church, but, being unmarried, had not in the
meanwhile occupied the parsonage. The Ia
dies of the church, and others, since having
been appraised of the pastors intended matri-
monial union with a young lady of Phila., on
Tuesday, had made it a subject of study
how to make their reception among the New
Hope people on the above evening as enjoya-
BILE as possible. The pastor had been mar
ried during the day in Phila., and arrived at
Lambertville in the 80 o'clock train in the
evening, accompanied by his wife and the
brides mother, and the Rev. VIM SWindells
of Wharton street M. E. Church.. A commit

of reception, and in the case of this reception

that a people receive ORG sent to " minister

than was manifested in this instance. 1t was
evidently appreciated by those in whose inter-

evening, the Rev. Mr.. Swindells was called
upon to make speech, aud responded in a
well-timed and happy manner-expressing
his full enjoyment Of the scenes to which his
attention had been attracted during che even
ing. He endorsed the Rev. Mr.. johnson as a
worthy laborer in the cause which he had es-
poused having been closely related to him
in the ministry, and having known him from
small boy-and urged the people to aid him

piled with the request, and made neat and

had been consulting the Book of Books and
had learned that " it was not good for man to
be alone" From the remarks he had just
heard, he thought that the old saying that
"boys are what their mothers make them, !"
was appropriate, and that the new pastor

that much good may be done during bis stay

A SMART TRrcK.-A smart trick was play
ed by a colored man, on the P. M. train on
the Belvidere Delaware Division of the Penn.
sylvania Railroad, last Wednesday. A gen
tlehan got on the train at Lambertville and
hung his oyercoat on the back of a seat
When near Washington's Crossing he went
into another car and the colored man. who
had got off at that place, as the train was
moving off, called to the brakeman to throw
him his coat. Tho brakeman picked up the
gentleman's coat and threw it to the colored
man. The coat was missed and the trick or

the coat, near the Asylum. He was taken be-
fore Justice Bodine, who committed him for
trial.-True American.

FIRE.--At an early hour on Sunday morn
ing last, the canal stables of Mr.. William
Corners, III New Hope, we're discovered to be
ON fire. The discovery was made by Messrs.
Jos. Werts and Thos Boil; who saw it while
it was in its incipiency and ran an extinguish-
ed it with water before it had made much
Roadway. In one corner of the stable the fire
had been kindled, and it burned hole in
the floor,--a double plank one and through
one of the heavy jolsts. A few feet distant
from the confagratiofi was stored large
quantity of hay and straw, and the escape
from more destructive fire was exceedingly
close. 1t is-not known whether some one had
carelessly thrown match down in the stable
or whether it was an intentional attempt to
do harm.

WHERE GOLD wAsALmosr UNKNOWN.
From the Hartford Courant.

FROM the HARTFORD COurant.
There was queer and very interesting
sight at Willimantic Saturday. 1t was pay
day at the Willimantic thread company's
mills and the managers paid off their help
in gold coin. 1t was the first time in the
history Of the concern that gold had been
actually used for the payment of wages, and
its reception by the throng Of women and
men and girls and boys as they came up for
their pay was curious study. A few Of the
older workmen who had lived abroad were
familiar with the stuff, but to most of them
it was strange sight and useless thing.
One woman after receiving her pay $50
and counting it over, came back to the over.
seer with:
I,ve brought back the money. There's
a dollar, 4 half dollar and some cents"
She had received . ten dollar gold piece
and fve-dollar gold piece and two and
a-half dollar gold piece and q dollar bill and
q silver half. The last two she knew-"a
dollar and half dollar"-but to her the rest
Of the stuff was "some cents" and she was
bound to have it corrected.

The people of Montana are discussing the
question Of the navigation of the Missouri
river above the falls. At present the head
of navigation on the Missouri river IS at Fl
Benton, steamboats, being prevented from
going farther up the falls in the river which
exist short distance above Benton. Be.
yond the falls the river is navigable for light
draught vessels to Helena, the capital of the
territory. Speaking Of this matter. the He.
lena Independent presents the following
sensible conclusions:
The press of the territory generally favor

supply US with cheap and rapid trausporta.
ton in the near future. We shall have rail.
roads In time, but We want something that
will do our purpose until that time arrives
The Missouri river offers US the facilities il
we but improve them. We think that If an
effort were made . company could be form
ed that would build q steamer the present
season and have it ready for business the
coming spring. The necessities for greater
transportation facilities are so well known
that it is not necessary to repeat them here,
but they are SO pressing that it seems al
most su icidal to waste precious time and
therefore the oall should be set in motion at
once. Our citizens are proverbial for their
enterprise and liberallty, and we doubt not
that almost every business man would take
stock in theenterprise if an opportunity was
offered. At the extreme limit $2O. 900 would
put on good boat. and 5000 would be
sufficient to construct good wagon road
around the portage that would answer for
81
counties could NO doubt be induced to take
stock in 9 company to build narrow guage.
The whole-two steamboats, and q railroad
and rolling stock-would not cost over half
amillion dollars, and this would not be felt
by the people of the territory. II some one
or more of our leading citizens would take
the matter in hand there is not doubt that
it would be an accomplished feat by the
spring Of 1880. Here is something we can
do ourselves and not have foreign corpor-
alton grinding us by excessive tariffs.
