Protracted meetings have been held in the
different churches here for three or four weeks
past which have been attended with much
interest To see Christian churches working

glorious sight to believers, and we doubt not,
to those who make no profession of piety !
A few are seeking the pearl of great price.
We had dog fight last week which involv-
ed the friendship and animosity of several of
our high-toned people. One of them became
quite pugnacious, and proposed to thrash the
entire Community another one peeled him.

in which he was unsuccessful.
The literary society is the best we have had
for years. and this speaks well for the gentlc-
men and ladies who have it in charge. Te
dropped in on Friday evening last when Miss
Kate Taylor was introduced to the audience
by the president. She is young lady who
always reflects great credit upon herself and
any literary society with which she is con-
nected. Suffice it to say her address was well
received. The programme as announced is
an interesting one for the next meeting: Ora
tions by A. S. Haring and E. Midaugh decla-
nations by Miss Kate Rsler and Miss Kate
Taylor The question for debate at the next
meeting is (" Resoloed That the pen is might
Ter than the sword" We are not disposed to
take issue with the rulings of the president OF
the society, but we suggest to him to have the
lady members seated nearer to the table and
there would be less confusion in the room.
The new proprietors the Independent, y
we learn, will locate in Williams brick build
ing this week.
Several business changes will take place
here the first of April, and while we regret
that some will leave us on account of not hav-
ing employment, we hope they may be more
successful elsewhere. A portion of the bust
ness part of the place is advertised for sale
for taxes. This does not speak as we'll for the
place as we had hoped. "

The Sheriff informs us that the jail now

ers-a dozen of them being tramps. These,
however were not !" handled y by Captain Hill,
of Lambertville. The Captain has got more
honorable way OF getting his livelihood this
Winter than by picking up tramps and toting
them to jail at fifty cents per head. He is a
policeman yet, however, and the handsomest
man on the LambertvilIe force, but he has got
above sailing" taxpayers by catching
tramps by the scuff of the neck and giving
them free railroad ride aud free lunch for
tea days, more or less. The dozen tramps
who now toast their shins by the county stove
we're sent up by a certain Justice of the
Peace WHO don't live far from here, and are
about one-fourth of the whole number by him
committed this Winter, at % cents each. Not
much Of Winters work, but it beats moth
ing two to one. The job is done quite reas-
onably by the Squire, as he requires no cen
stable to make the arrest or to deliver them
over to the Sheriff. The "prisoners all go
to him, get their sentence" aud report at
the jail-door unattended. Justices of the
Peace should never forget how to use wood
saw, and then they will not have to go into
the tramp business when official fees are
slow about coming in.-Huntcrdon Democrat.

OPP FELLOWS SUFFER AT RINGoEs.
Tuesday evening, Feb. 4th, 1879, Powhattan
Lodge, No. 70, I. o. o. F., of Ringoes, cele-
brated the fifth anniversary of the reorgani-
cation of that Lodge, by giving an Oyster
Supper in their Lodge room. At about eight
o'clock that evening, about forty members
and their ladies sat down to the tables, which
were loaded with the delicacies Of the season,
such as oysters-stewed, raw and fried, orang-
es, apples, fresh rolls, butter THAT which was
good), &C., sc. All did all they could
to clear the tables, which was one of the inn
possibilities, because the brethren had made
ample provision for the occasion. Among
those present was John FL. Horn, P. G.. Rep,
of Lambertvlle, who, with his LADY, was there
by special invitation, and tell you the Squire
did Justice to the oysters and other good
things. subsequently he was called upon by
DR.. Hart, who presided, to make some re-
marks, which he did cheerfully, although
he had hardly room enough to spread him
self. After he had finished, there were re-
marks made by three or four of the members
of the Lodge. At the close of the exercises
all retired to their homes, well satisfied that
the brethren of Powhattan know how to gel
up good supper, the members themselves
having gotten it up--not allowing their wives
to help. May the Lodge flourish for the next
five years as they have done in the past. They
contemplate building new hall soon. Ma,
God speed them in the good cause.

AT the literary meeting at the Board of
Trade room, Oh Monday evening, the ques-
ton RESOLVED, That labor saving machin-
cry is at present used to AN extent that is
detrimental to the laboring class, was debat-
ed and decision given in favor of the affirm
alive.
Mr.. Wilson Bray gave short aud interest
ing lecture on his trip to California. He left
his audience on the Isthmus of Panama,
where he will again meet them next week and
conduct them further.
The following was adopted "Resoloed,
That we select as topic for general discus
sion in the place of debate at our next meet
ing, public library in the city of Lambert
VILE, and that the president appoint some
member to open the discussion, and that all
persons he invited 10 express their views on
the subject, and, if possible, bring forward
some plan whereby the establishment of such
an institution may be effected" Walter F.
Hayhurst was appointed to open the discus
sion, and appointments made to read and
answer referred questions. The paper will
be edited by Miss Susie Hunt aud Miss Lily
Williams. s.n
A resolution was adopted fixing the time
for opening the meetings promptly at 7.30
o'clock, and close promptly at 10 o'clock,
which the president says will be rigidly en-
forced. 1t is hoped that there will be a good
attendance at the next meeting, and the in
terest that every one feels in the library ques-
ton is almost sure to procure this.
If from discussing, they should come to
some action with regard to the Public Lii
brary, the people would have cause to be
thankful for the day when the Board of
Trade Lyceum was started.
