MIR. John Carpenter, Jr., effectually set
ties Jos. W. Willever, in the last issue OF the
Clinton Democrat. Willever published card
which left the impression that Carpenter had
written and published letter of declination
purporting to be from Willever which was
not authorized by him. Carpenter asserts
that the letter was published just as ordered
by willeyer's agent, N. III. Heft. If Heft
exceeded his instructions, that was not Car
penter's fault. But Willever saw fit to issue
a statement which placed Carpenter in a bad
light, and false one, and thus, doubtless,
lost him many votes in his Senatorial fight.
There has been great deal said against Car
penter by his Democratic opponents in the
caucus contest, but we are safe in saying that
John Carpenter has never been guilty OF acts
quite as mean as those performed BY his oppo-
nents to defeat him.

The Hunterdon Democrat ridicules the
idea that money was corruptly used at the
late Democratic caucus. That paper deceives
no one--not even its own editor-by such at
tempts to deny notorious facts. There has
not been a caucus in this county for years at
which money has not been extensively and cor
ruptly used. So great became the evil that the
party at last took notice of it, and adopted rules
to prevent 1t, one of the regulations requiring
candidates to take an oath not to corrupt
voters, SC. Was there ever more convincing
evidence Of the corruption and debasement of
party than this, when its candidates have to
swear that they will not corrupt Democratic
yotersp 1t is plain acknowledgment that
voters have made practice of selling their
votes and that Office seekers have bought
them. II is true, that at the late special
Democratic County Convention, the rule re-
-sairine Democratic candidates to swear that
they would not use corrupt means was re-
scinded but that was because the oath had
no apparent eject on the action of candidates.
Now, with such record, does the Democrat
suppose that all at once these corrupt practices
have stopped That the swallow-taii ring,
(which has heretofore professed great horror
of the Pidcock ring as corrupt, &c., did use
money freely and covruptly, few II any IN this
vicinity doubt. If it had not been for the
money used day or two before the caucus,
John Carpenter would have been the nominee
for Senator.

A CURIOUS AccIDENT.--At PhiIIipsburg, a
singular accident occurred at the round house
yard, of the New Jersey Central Railway, on
Wednesday morning. A new engine was
standing near the turn-table, which was adj
justed to receive another engine. The fire.
man of the new locomotive was engaged in
shining the brass work, and was stepping in
to the cab window when his body struck the
throttle, throwing it wide open. In an in
slant the engine was off under full head OF
steam. The driving wheels made two revo-
buttons, and then the ponderous machine
dashed into the open pit of the turn-tabe.-
The fireman shut of steam almost fmmedi-
ately, but the work had already been done
and the engine was wreck at the bottom of
the pit, the table was ruined and loss Of five
thousand dollars or more occasioned. There
we're four freight engines and two passenger
engines imprisoned in the round house. The
fireman was uninjured, and has been dis
charged. The engineer win also probably
lose his place for leaving the engine sta nding
in that position.

The election in Newark last week, is
shouted over as a Democratic victory by nu-
merous Democratic papers. To such victories
they are welcome. The contest was between
whiskey -and- beer and temperance-between
those in favor of Sunday beer and Sunday
concerts and those opposed. That the Demo
cratic party lent its name to such cause, is
its eternal disgrace. This same party expects
to run candidates for the legislature in Essex
on the platform Of repeal or modification
of the Sunday laws, so that open bars may be
kept not only in Newark, but throughout the
State

A celebrated Undertaking. spiritual med
ium, Mrs. Mary Eddy Huntoon, has been ex-
posed. She materialized the spirit of an
Indian chief, and when the defunct brave
sprang out into the dimly lighted room with 9
whoop, local editor present jumped up and
caught the spirit in his arms, and held on.
The spirit shrieked, scratched, and cried for a
pistol, and there was general squabble, but
through it all the editor held on and when
the lights were turned up, there was Mrs. Fl.
inside of the Indian blanket. She could dc
nothing but acknowledge the corn.

AGRICULTURAL.
Reclamation of nTar.hes.


The following is an extract from a private
letter from George NJ. Baker, of Marshield,
a prominent gentleman of Massachusetts,,
who has taken great interest in the subject
of retaining marshes:
Our dixie has performed It's work thorough
ly to the present time. The water in the
river is about six feet below the surface of the
marsh nnless in time OF large rainfall when it
may be within three feet but very seldom less
than four. Our marsh has not been overfowed
since the tide was shut out in 1872. have nc
doubtit would have been well for the meadow
to have been flowed with fresh water after the
salt was shut out and that would have hast
ened the decay of grass roots, the sod &c,
and taken out much of the sadness.
Professor Goessmann, State Geologist, who
mas taken an active interest in the improve
meDt and who has made several reports on
the subject to the State Board of Agriculture,
(see the last three reports of Charles l.. Flint
SecretasY,) recommends holding back the
water in spring, and filling creeks and bitches
for time when much sadness may be car
ried off with the water. Our meadow did
well last season Notwithstanding the severe
drought. The seed sowed after narrowing
the surface did remarkably well. Over 4OC
tons of English hay, red-top and herds-gras'
were secured, about 400 bushels of rye ant
considerable quantity of oat fodder. The
meadow is settling and has become SO com
pact that in ploughing an OK can travel in the
burrows.
About twenty-five acres of the land were
ploughed the last autumn and will be planted
to corn and root crops in the spring.
Where the land has not been improved
only weeds and fox-grass grow, but the sur
face has become rotted and can easily be har
roWed.

FACES.

The human face is not only ''the index of the
SOUL" Every bodily sensation leaves its in
delible trace upon the features. Every human
face, If studied attentively, reveals the physi-
cal and mental history of its possessor. On
the crowded street of the city what volumes of
these histories are open to all who would
search them. The miser with his features
drawn as tightly as the openings of his money
bags; the debauchee with his sensual. semi
animal face; the young man with the future
fair and broad before him, every line of his
coantenance revealing energy and ambition :
the maiden's face bright with innocent love
and hopes leach Of these face-histories is as
leeible as the printed page before you. But
there are other faces in which we may read sad
histories-faces of work weary women, to
whom living has become an irksome task The
fatal alphabet of disease is written in every
line of their countenaDces. Why will these
women suffer from debility and those painful
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex,
losing besides the charm aud beauty of
bright, heslthful face, when DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is a sure and effectual
remedy? Ladies who have used it pronounce
